Several decades ago, an academic named Scott Cummings wrote a book entitled, “Left Behind in Rosedale.” It was about the very rapid decline of a large area in Fort Worth, Texas during the 1970s, as the black population exploded and white residents fled. It was a very stark transformation: From 1950 to 1990, Rosedale went from roughly 100% white to more than 80% black. At the time, pretty much every commentator was describing this phenomenon — which was also taking place all over the country, in hundreds of different cities — as “white flight.” These commentators derided white people as bigots for fleeing the wonders of diversity. But none of these commentators spent any time investigating what happened to the whites who, for one reason or another, *remained* in urban areas as this demographic shift took place. Oftentimes, these whites were elderly and poor, so they had no choice but to remain where they were. What happened to them, Scott Cummings asked?

Left Behind In Rosedale, by Scott Cummings, Copyright 1998 by Westview Press, Basic Books, A Member of Perseus Books, L.L.C.
What he found was that, in no uncertain terms, the remaining white population was terrorized. They were robbed, sexually assaulted, and beaten, seemingly for sport. Their homes were torched. One elderly white man told Cummings he had been stabbed repeatedly by a black man while he was walking on the sidewalk, for no apparent reason. A white man in his mid-70s was working on his house, using a ladder, when a group of black adolescents approached. They shook the ladder until he fell off, then beat him with a two-by-four. From 1977 to 1982, the attacks intensified. Elderly women were sexually assaulted, repeatedly, in their own homes. As a result of these kinds of attacks, Cummings wrote, “the senior citizens of Rosedale lived in constant fear.”
After documenting the extremely high rate of crime and anti-white violence in the area, Cummings spoke to a man named Lee Ellins, who served as the director of a youth program in Rosedale. Cummings was hoping to hear, at a minimum, that civic leaders in Rosedale — people with influence and authority — were concerned about the problem.
So Cummings asked, “What do you think can be done with the situation, with old white people living in a black neighborhood?” But after about a minute, Ellins made it clear that no one actually cared about what was happening. Here’s how Cummings summarized the response he received: “In a couple of years the problem would go away. Pretty soon there would be no elderly whites in Rosedale. Consequently, it wasn’t worth investing a lot of time and energy worrying about it.”
Meanwhile, Cummings’ colleagues in academia had a similar attitude. They implied that the white victims deserved it. As one professor told Cummings, “Their ancestors were probably yukking it up when blacks were being lynched by klansmen.”
“Left Behind in Rosedale” is available online, in its entirety. You can pull it up and read, in excruciating detail, how the U.S. government left white people to fend for themselves, as their communities descended into crime and violence, all in the name of “civil rights” and “social progress.” And it’s worth a look, if only as an antidote to all of the propaganda of “white flight” that you’ve probably been forced to consume in your life. But really, you don’t have to read “Left Behind in Rosedale,” for the simple reason that not much has changed since the 1980s. Ask the white farmers in South Africa — the ones who are desperately trying to flee to the United States at the moment — just how safe they feel on their own property. Or for that matter, talk to white people who are unfortunate enough to be living in Cincinnati. These are white Americans who thought their city was distinct from South Africa because, after all, South Africa is about 10,000 miles away. And over in South Africa, they’re much poorer than we are. They don’t have jobs or infrastructure anymore, at least since the end of apartheid. So how similar could downtown Cincinnati really be, as compared to South Africa?
As it turns out, Rosedale is essentially South Africa, which is also Cincinnati, which is also every other city in this country. That is to say, in every single context, when you introduce mandatory diversity, life becomes much, much more dangerous for everybody including white people. That’s a historical and statistical fact, born out by all of the data over the past half century. You can call that statement whatever label you want. But it happens to be true. And that’s not just because crime goes up in general. It’s true because crimes specifically targeting whites become commonplace.
Early Saturday morning in downtown Cincinnati, near the site of the city’s ongoing musical festival celebrating black culture, several of these anti-white attacks took place on camera. In one case, a white man was knocked to the ground by several attackers, who continued to pummel his head once he was on the ground. In another case, a white woman was punched directly in the head, knocking her unconscious as she hit the pavement. Blood starts streaming from her mouth. We can’t show all of this footage in its entirety, but here’s a sense of what it looked like:

It was just a couple of years ago that Joe Biden and Merrick Garland informed us that white supremacy was the single greatest domestic threat this country faced. But neither Biden nor Garland has to walk around American cities alone after dark, without dozens of armed bodyguards. They don’t have to deal with getting sucker punched and brutally beaten in random assaults. But that’s the reality of what’s happening in the middle of major American cities.
The police chief in Cincinnati, and various politicians, are willing to condemn these acts of violence in the abstract. They’re saying that it’s wrong for a mob to brutally assault innocent people. But strangely enough, they’re not willing to say a word about the race of the attackers or the race of the victims. Of course, if the victims were racial minorities, and the attackers white, there would be instantaneous, ActBlue-funded riots in every American city. But because the victims are white, most national media outlets aren’t covering it at all. It’s as if this footage doesn’t exist. That includes CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post and CBS. There is a near-total corporate media blackout. They will not touch it.
To the extent that local news is covering the violence, they’re omitting race from the story entirely. Watch:

The implication is that there was a vague “verbal altercation,” and that there needs to be an investigation to figure out what happened here. Meanwhile the anti-white brigade on social media is searching desperately for a way to justify what happened. “We need context!” they’re saying. But here’s the problem: There is no context where it would be okay for multiple people to jump and pummel one person and continue the beating even after they’re on the ground.
The implication in the news coverage is that race is irrelevant to this story, because really, it could’ve been anyone doing the kicking. But we all know that’s not true. We all know these videos only go one way. If you hear about a video where members of one race are stomping someone of another race while they’re on the ground, you immediately know which party is which. But you’re supposed to deny that reality — even when you’re the victim. Consider the story of white, Left-wing Ohio State University graduate student Gregory Wheeler.

He was playing “Pokemon Go” in a park in Ohio with his friend Samantha Haub when they were surrounded and brutally beaten by a large mob of black kids, all of them under the age of 18. Then, for good measure, the mob shot Wheeler several times. Now, you might think that, if you were nearly murdered in a park in this manner, you’d conclude that you need to get out of this neighborhood immediately. And then you might wonder: What went wrong with all of these families? Where are these kids’ fathers? I wasn’t just attacked by white children, or Asian children. Why is that?
But Gregory Wheeler didn’t ask any of those questions.
Instead, here’s what he told the Columbus Monthly:
Gregory Wheeler, who was shot three times during a late July robbery in Linden Park. … detailed his feelings surrounding the incident, where he was attacked by a group of about a dozen children, ranging in age from 11 to 17, by his estimate, before he was shot from behind as he sought help at a nearby house. ‘I’m not angry at those who attacked me,’ he wrote, ‘though I am saddened.’ Wheeler went on to express solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement (his attackers were black), as well as some of the concerns that plagued him in those moments he lay bleeding on that stranger’s front porch: Was his friend Samantha OK? (She was.) Would innocent lives be lost in the drive to bring the guilty to justice? (Thankfully not.) Is locking any young person away for an extended period the best means of rehabilitation?
Yes, even getting beaten and shot several times by a mob of black kids wasn’t enough to prevent Gregory Wheeler from “expressing solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement” or lamenting whether the police would randomly kill innocent people as they investigated his attack. On the Left (and in the center), this issue is completely firewalled. You’re expected to die before you’re allowed to talk about it.
Remember this story from Baltimore, just a few months ago? Roughly 15 black teenagers brutally assaulted a 12-year-old white boy at an apartment complex, but police announced there would be no hate crime charges — and that several of the attackers wouldn’t be charged at all. Watch:
Again, this is a very established pattern. It’s not just the media that ignores anti-white attacks. The police often ignore them too, for political reasons. A few years ago, there was a major protest in Philadelphia, after several black women decided to wage a campaign of terrorism against white people. It was as open and obvious as it could’ve been. But the police didn’t even take a report. Watch:
Flashback June, 2015:
White people in a south Philadelphia neighborhood, including a City Council member, held an actual public protest after the police refused to do anything about a string of Black on White #hatecrime mob attacks by the same four perps. https://t.co/EjsQHTSAp2 pic.twitter.com/6FgdkDZTXT

This kind of “official indifference” to anti-white violence is fully in effect today. In the case of the Cincinnati attack from Saturday, the local police union has decided that the real outrage is that bystanders didn’t intervene. Here’s Ken Kober, the head of Cincinnati’s police union: “It’s pretty disturbing. I mean, I get that people want to film stuff. They want to be able to put on Facebook or TikTok or whatever else, but the fact that nobody there was calling 911 is what’s really disturbing. No one really tried to intervene.”
So nevermind the fact that there were apparently no cops downtown, at all, while a mob beat several white people in the streets. Nevermind the fact that mob violence is now a fixture of black communities. Forget all of that, says the police union. The real outrage is that someone filmed what happened.
There’s only so much of this lying and open race hatred that people can tolerate before they decide they’ve had enough. When that moment arrives, what does it look like exactly? Well in the Ozarks in Arkansas, hundreds of people have now paid to become members of a whites-only community. And for more than a year, that community has begun to take shape.
NBC News recently profiled this new community. Here’s how that went:
I really want to say something vile about the kind of people who think they’re better than everyone else because of their skin color.
But let’s just sit with the irony for a second.
These white supremacists are building a whites-only “Return to the Land” town—on stolen land.… pic.twitter.com/AYbsBdGF1V

The position of NBC News, based on that reporting, appears to be that you don’t have the right to exclude people from your property on the basis of race. But actually, you do have that right. You can exclude people from your home for any reason you want to. It’s not their property. It’s yours. We’re not talking about a public accommodation like a restaurant or an apartment complex. Nor are we talking about people who take money from the government. This is their land. They’ve established a “Private Membership Association,” and they sell shares that grant access to the land.
If property rights mean anything, it’s that you have exclusive rights to control access to your property. On the other hand, if you don’t have the right to build a community on a private piece of land and live around the sorts of people you want to live around, then you don’t have any rights at all. This is as basic and fundamental as rights can possibly get. Freedom of association. Private property. But as you just heard, the attorney general of Arkansas apparently doesn’t believe this. He’s launched an investigation and condemned “racial discrimination.”
Strangely, though, there was no investigation — or any media outrage whatsoever — into something called “Freedom, Georgia.” Remember that? After George Floyd’s overdose in 2020, 19 black families purchased hundreds of acres near Macon, Georgia, as part of their plan to create a “safe haven for people of color.” In other words, it’s a blacks-only commune. Here’s how CNN reported on that effort:
White people: *create a Whites-only town*
Media: “THIS IS LITERALLY SEGREGATION!”
Black people: *create a blacks-only town*

So apparently it’s very noble and appropriate when black people want to be around black people, and ban all the other races from their property. The media will celebrate that kind of thing, any day of the week. It’s only white people who aren’t allowed to practice freedom of association, just like it’s only white people who supposedly have no homeland or culture.
Of course, whenever there’s an opportunity for race hustlers to shamelessly embarrass themselves with their own hypocrisy, Ben Crump isn’t far away. Here’s his take on this new initiative: “WOW. A whites-only group is trying to expand its community into Missouri — barring Black, Jewish, and non-white members. They claim it’s about ‘shared ancestral values’ and ‘living among like-minded people.’ I have no words.”
Meanwhile here was Ben Crump back in December of 2021: “Wayne Swanson and 19 other Black families purchased more than 500 ACRES of farm land in Toomsboro, Georgia, to invest in their Freedom Georgia Initiative! Their Black-owned Initiative and many others will greatly benefit from the farmer relief program. [applause emoji].”
That last part turned out to be very false, by the way. More than 5 years after it was launched, “Freedom Georgia” is about as dysfunctional as you’d expect. Wikipedia reports that, as of July of 2023, the settlement “consists of a dilapidated campground, and its founders are working on establishing roads and utility services.” Then, as of May of 2024, “construction for permanent dwellings or vital infrastructure has not begun. All land was sold in 2023 and no further plans have surfaced for the planned town.”
In other words, Freedom Georgia has turned out a lot like South Africa. The leaders banished all the white people, took whatever cash and media attention they could get, and then disappeared, leaving everything in ruins. That’s the model of anti-white governance that the media will celebrate, as they demonize the white community in Arkansas, and minimize the vicious attacks on white people in downtown Cincinnati. For my part, I’d say people have the right to build whatever communities they want to build on their own private property. Doesn’t matter how you or I or anyone else feels about it. It’s not our property. We don’t have to live there.
At any rate, at this point, no amount of media hackery is sufficient to hide the truth that everyone can clearly see. It’s “controversial” to say, but it’s a plain statistical fact that, generally speaking, the whiter a community is, the safer it is. The data demonstrates this very clearly. It’s been an unspeakable truth in our country for a long time. But it’s true whether we speak it or not. It is just simply a fact. Rather than yell at people for noticing, maybe we should address the core issues driving this trend. Or we can keep screaming and trying impotently to enforce racial double standards — the kinds of racial double standards that have defined our culture for a very long time. But that dam was never going to hold forever. Now it’s breaking. People are done with the double standards. If tribalism is okay for every other group on the planet, white people will increasingly follow suit. “No, it’s bad when you do it,” just is not a persuasive argument. People only pretended to be persuaded by it. But one public act of mob violence at a time, as we’re lectured about white supremacy while white people are beaten in the streets, those days are rapidly coming to an end.
