People have asked me, as I read Colin Flaherty's book 'White Girl Bleed a Lot,' if there are corresponding acts of white mob violence against blacks. I stopped taking detailed accounts of every violent incident way back in 2000. Since that time there has not been a single white-on-black group attack in or near Baltimore.
Consulting my survey of 1675 acts of violence conducted from 1996-2000, 482 acts, or 29% qualified as mass aggression.
Of these 482 acts of violence most [451] were same race, with blacks and whites equally likely to mob their own.
Of the 31 interracial attacks I can name the white on black attacks from memory:
1. Big Nate's biker stomping of a black man behind a bar.
2. Silverback being stoned by a group of rednecks at a rural bar when he stopped into the lot to ask for directions.
3. The fatal stomping of Big Sam instigated by Ron Bone.
4. The attack on Little Jimmy at Rick's Inn.
5. The fatal key Highway stomping of the dishwasher by two guys I know, who got off.
6. Link and Steve's 4th Reich Revenge Attack on the Arbutus Mookes [and there were surely some others in this 1980s gang turf war
There were 7 Latino involved incidents from Raphael that took place in Chicago and Baltimore.
All of these incidents happened in the 80s and 90s. There have been none since.
So, "back in the day" black on white attacks were 18, to 6 white on black attacks, or three-to-one more likely, in a population that was roughly 50/50.
Since then violence has spiked, been less reported than ever, and has narrowed in scope to be limited almost exclusively to two types of violence: black on black mob attacks and black on white mob attacks, and are more likely than ever to involve a knife. All other types of violence now occupy only about 10% of the spectrum. [All gang violence actually qualify as mob actions.]
Those are the facts, past and current, as best as I can determine.
