PostNouveau posted:Knockout game? wtf are you talking about? Oh, do you not remember this? I believe the roots go back much longer, but I remember back in 2013-ish, immediately post-election some ultra right-wing news sites began spreading panic--especially on Facebook--over the "knockout game," saying that black youths were competing against each other nationwide to see who could score the best "knockout" on a mugging victim (predictably, these reports failed to include the whole "mugging" part, instead focusing on the actual "knockout" part). It was pure non-subtle racism which led to a predictable round of "our cities are under siege," Congresscritters being their typical dumbass selves (I remember one guy in Wisconsin saying that in order to "prevent the spread" of the so-called game, he would introduce a bill that would charge people as terrorists, and then he basically went away when the rest of the WI Republicans told him to sit down and shut up), "black panic," etc. But it was pure bullshit, like the whole scam that the right ran with a while back about saying that drivers shouldn't ever flash their headlights, as it was a signal to gang members for a coordinated assault. Bulkiest Toaster is just dogwhistling.
