The Chilling Backstory Behind The Anti-White Mob Attack In Cincinnati

By now we’ve all seen the footage of a black mob attacking and brutally beating several white people on the streets of Cincinnati during a music festival. One white woman was knocked unconscious by an adult man, causing blood to flow from her mouth. Meanwhile, as one white guy was kicked and dragged away, one of the thugs yelled, “He shouldn’t be outside,” as if certain races were barred from walking down public streets. Even though most mainstream outlets have attempted to censor the racial dimension of the story, at this point, you’d have to be blind to miss it. Video evidence is difficult to downplay or deny, especially now that some social media platforms aren’t relentlessly censored to the same degree they once were. 

Therefore, as we discussed yesterday, the police chief in Cincinnati — a bitter old schoolmarm named Terri Theetge — has decided to attack the media, as well as the people who filmed the violence. She doesn’t know what else to do. She can’t blame black people, because that would be racist. And she certainly can’t accept responsibility for the fact that Cincinnati police were nowhere to be found, as downtown Cincinnati transformed into Mogadishu, minus the Blackhawk helicopters. So her response is to wag her finger at everyone else. Short of blaming the people who were nearly pummeled to death, Terri took the single most shameful and unconvincing approach that she possibly could have taken.

At the same time, it would be a mistake to place all of the blame at the hands of useless bureaucrats like this police chief. Despite what you’re being told, what happened in Cincinnati over the weekend was not solely the result of incompetence by the leadership of the police force. Nor was it the product of a “verbal altercation” or a sudden and unexpected “fight” or whatever euphemism they’re using. The truth about the violence on Saturday — which no one is discussing in any great detail, as far as I can tell — is that politicians and media outlets have spent the last decade doing everything they can to foment anti-white violence and race hatred in downtown Cincinnati. The violence was, in that sense, calculated and premeditated — a result of a strategy that was implemented intentionally. For years, there has been a coordinated effort to use this music festival as ground-zero for an open race war. And on Saturday, those efforts paid off.

I first noticed what was going on when I looked through some old footage from the Cincinnati Music Festival over the years. A lot of the news reports seemed pretty innocuous at first — it was standard fare about the headliners and the large crowds. But then I caught a quick moment in a segment that aired in 2017, which seemed a little out of place. Watch:

Did you catch that? He says, “I like the vendors, you know, I like getting to spend money with the black entrepreneurs.” Imagine going to, say, Coachella, and telling the local news that you’re excited to spend money, but only to support the white vendors. Do you think local news would air that footage, outside of an attempt to ruin your life and the lives of everyone you know? It would either get immediately deleted, or it would be a national scandal. Those are the two options.

And yet, in this case, when the guy says he’s excited to buy from blacks at the Cincinnati Music Festival, it was an offhand comment, one that the reporter didn’t comment on. And that suggests, of course, that this was a very common sentiment in Cincinnati. Again, that footage was from 2017, well before the George Floyd hysteria. But it was not a fleeting sentiment. In 2019, black activists went to the local media to announce, very clearly, that the Cincinnati Music Festival would be an opportunity to boycott white businesses, while patronizing “black-owned” businesses.

This time, the justification for the boycott, supposedly, was that a black woman named Tracie Hunter had been mistreated by the justice system. (More on that narrative in a moment). Therefore, the activists said, it was important for everyone at the Cincinnati Music Festival to patronize black-owned businesses, and to avoid giving white people their money. And once again, the local news media promoted this.

That segment begins with the white news anchors talking about how great the Cincinnati Music Festival is. They tell us there’s exciting music and food, and they’re very cheerful and peppy about it. And then they segue immediately into mob-like threats from black activists and media personalities, which are clearly directed at white people.

It’s one threat after another:

I think they’re gonna start earmarking places to boycott. You don’t want to see that. But they’ve made this happen.

And then:

The community members have decided that they are going to request individuals coming into this festival to be very careful where they spend their money.

Let’s be clear about this: The fact that news stations in Cincinnati were eager to air these threats — and the fact that no one in Cincinnati’s political leadership took action to immediately secure this festival, or even to simply denounce this open anti-white race hatred — amounts to an endorsement of the racial violence and terrorism that inevitably resulted several years later. There is no logical connection whatsoever between the plight of a woman named Tracie Hunter and a mass boycott of white businesses. The only connection is that these people hate whites. That’s it.

And by the way, who is Tracie Hunter, you ask? Well, we’ve talked about her before on the show, as it happens. She made history as the first black woman to serve as a judge on Hamilton County’s Juvenile Court. And guess what? She immediately engaged in flagrant corruption as soon as she broke the glass ceiling. The Ohio Supreme Court had to suspend her license to practice law. She intervened in a case of misconduct to help her brother, leading to her conviction of unlawful conduct on the bench. At sentencing, she was held responsible for, “nepotism, improper judicial temperament, tardiness in rendering decisions, and denying public access to her court.” And then, after her sentencing, she went limp, and had to be dragged out of the courthouse. Keep in mind, all of this happened before this boycott. Watch:

This is the person — an obviously corrupt judge — that they used as a justification to punish all of the white people in downtown Cincinnati during this music festival. This was the pretext. It’s a complete and total farce. And again, the local media in Cincinnati didn’t simply report on this boycott in the name of this corrupt judge. They encouraged it. They provided a list, on their website, of all the black-owned businesses at the Cincinnati Music Festival, so that people would know how to avoid the white businesses. And the government of Cincinnati posted the list too. Watch:

You cannot spend the better part of a decade telling black people in Cincinnati at a Music Festival that they need to boycott white people — and that white people are the source of their problems — and then act shocked when a mob of black people brutally beat, and nearly murder, several white people in the street at that Music Festival. Instead, you are complicit in those beatings. Every single one of these politicians and news outlets are complicit.

Actually, to be more precise, this has been going on for a lot longer than the past decade.

Here’s a report from Cincinnati.com, describing a major controversy at this Cincinnati Music Festival back in 2018, as well as the history of the festival: 

When a Downtown bar announced on Facebook it would close Friday and Saturday for renovations, the post was flooded with accusations of racism because the closure coincided with the Cincinnati Music Festival. .. Many said the renovation plans were a lie, an excuse not to serve the mainly black clientele drawn to the city for the festival. … At the very least, the situation at Knockback Nats is a reminder of the racism that has surrounded the festival for decades. In 1981, a sales manager at the Westin Hotel distributed an internal memo to hotel executives saying that employees can expect loud guests, drug dealing and poor tipping during the 20th annual Kool Jazz Festival. In 2000, protesters picketed eight Downtown restaurants that closed for the weekend in late July during two high-profile events that draw tens of thousands of African-Americans to Cincinnati, [including] the Coors Light Jazz Festival.

In other words, going back to the 1980s, local businesses have tried to defend themselves against the obnoxious criminal behavior of the attendees at this festival. And every time, they’ve been attacked as racist for doing so. Hopefully you’re catching the irony here. According to these activists, white-owned businesses at the Cincinnati music festival should be boycotted because white people are bad. But if the white-owned businesses don’t open during the Cincinnati music festival — so that they can then be boycotted — then they’re racist. Put another way: “How dare you white racists shut your businesses down! We wanted you to keep your businesses open, so that we can proceed to not patronize them!” That’s known as a “Catch-22” in the business. Basically, white people are awful and racist, no matter what they do. And these activists, as always, are not held to any standard of decency or logic.

In fact, during these festivals, as you just heard, the hotels in Cincinnati aren’t even allowed to warn their staff of what’s coming. And as recently as 2018, when a bar decided to tear up the floor and repair their kitchen during the Music Festival, they were smeared as bigots. Even though the renovations at this bar (called Knockback Nats) were clearly ongoing, the mob still claimed that the renovations were only scheduled during the Festival so that the owners could avoid serving the crowd.

But here’s the thing: Even if that’s true, it’s a completely reasonable decision. It has nothing to do with bigotry. It’s rational for a business to decide that a particular festival causes so many problems, so consistently, that it’s not worth the potential profit. And apparently, this has been the norm for many years in Cincinnati. It was evidently the norm this year, as well. 

Mike Cernovich reported that: 

Jazz festival weekend in Cincinnati, a local tells me, is so disgusting, with low tips and fights, that bars didn’t open during jazz fest. City officials threatened to pull the liquor licenses of these bars on ‘racism’ grounds.

Think about how insane this is. It takes a lot of downsides before a business will turn down a large number of customers. Businesses generally want to make money, unless the downsides are extraordinary. But apparently, those downsides are indeed extraordinary at the Cincinnati Music Festival. And they’re extraordinary, in no small part, because the festival has been used as a mechanism for open racial hatred for years. But instead of considering their own role in forcing these businesses to shut down, Cincinnati’s leaders have chosen to terrorize white people even further. 

In fact, Cincinnati’s leaders aren’t simply terrorizing random white people going for a walk downtown. They’re also systematically discriminating against white men in the police force, which might explain why the department is so incompetent that it can’t stop a violent mob in the middle of the city from beating random white people with impunity. 

This is from local Cincinnati station WCPO, from just a couple of months ago: 

Four Cincinnati police officers are suing the City of Cincinnati and the police chief of the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD), claiming they were discriminated against for being white males. The federal lawsuit was filed Monday and claims the four officers were denied opportunities for preferred assignments and weren’t promoted because of their race and gender. … The lawsuit claims that Police Chief Teresa Theetge gave preferred assignments more often to officers who are minorities or women. It also lists nine examples of women or minorities who were lower on the promotions list but were promoted over the officers who filed the lawsuit.

According to the complaint, of the police departments’ minority lieutenants, 79% received preferred assignments. Of the female lieutenants, 89% were given preferred assignments. And yet, of the white male lieutenants, only 44% were given preferred assignments. Additionally, back in 2021, a separate lawsuit was filed, alleging the department discriminated against white males. The city ultimately settled with the lieutenant who filed that suit for $75,000.

So you have an anti-white police department that’s clearly discriminating against white males. You have city officials and media outlets who have spent decades claiming that white people are so shameful and disgusting that you shouldn’t even buy a hotdog from them. And then, after the predictable anti-white violence takes place on camera, this is how the police chief responded:

Cincinnati police chief gets angry over social media users posting viral brawl video:

“Social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident. … That is you, social media. The post that we’ve seen does not depict the entire incident."

She’s right about one thing. The black attackers in that mob at the Cincinnati Music Festival certainly took their cue from malicious and profoundly evil people in positions of authority — people who went out of their way to ensure that white people would be violently brutalized for the crime of being outside. But those malicious actors are not on YouTube or Fox News. They’re running the city of Cincinnati. They’ve been running it for some time. And now, as of Saturday, the inevitable result of their anti-white race hatred — the result they’ve badly wanted for a very long time — has finally been captured on video. They’re too cowardly to admit it, but they’ve simply left too much evidence, for too long, about their intentions.

If there’s a reason why the DOJ hasn’t already moved into Cincinnati to shut the entire government down, I haven’t heard it. If Barack Obama can force dozens of police departments to confess to invented acts of “systemic racism” and surrender their budgets to the permanent oversight of the federal government, then the Trump administration can — and should — do the same thing to Cincinnati, which has clearly been engaging in a pattern of anti-white discrimination (and resentment) for generations. White people — like every other race — are entitled to civil liberties. But until the leaders of the government of Cincinnati are hauled to federal prison, we can assume that civil liberties will remain suspended in the city. Prepare your travel plans accordingly. Avoid Cincinnati, and every other city like it. And no, keeping away from these hellholes doesn’t mean you’re a bigot. It means you’ve listened to what the government and activists have been saying for many, many years — and you’ve finally gotten the message, loud and clear.
