(Editor's note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.
Black mob violence is ruining their business, say the owners of a popular nightclub. Just like it ruined the businesses of 15 other nearby night spots which recently closed.
Except this is not in America. These hot spots are in London.
This declaration of racial violence came from the owners and managers of the Fridge Club, an iconic three-story venue where as many 300 people can be found staying up all night to dance, drink and often use drugs. But lately violence is ruining the buzz:

"The absolute majority of people who have disrupted these venues are black men and increasingly some black women," said the owner and managers in a Facebook posting. "There, I said it. It is true, I have witnessed it and there is both anecdotal and empirical evidence that what I say is true."
The post lists 15 South London clubs that recently closed because of black mob violence: "Almost every single venue has closed because of violence, the threat of violence, disrespect to their staff and coming to the inevitable conclusion that it is better to close than putting up with that bull---," they said. "Unless and until young black people (18-35) learn to conduct themselves in a civil manner then the night time economy will be closed or severely restricted to you.
"I know some will say that it is a 'minority' doing the damage but I disagree. The minority know that they have the support of the majority who fail to call them out when their behavior becomes awful. I spoke to the owner yesterday of one of Brixton's best known venues that has had serious problems since Xmas and he has now secretly put the place up for sale. He does not want to be construed as 'racist' by stating the blindingly obvious about where the majority of the trouble is stemming from."
The post spread through several large English news sites, including the London Evening Standard. The Huffington Post UK edition was among the first to send out the "shocking" news of the "explosive rant." But if the liberal website was expecting a tsunami of condemnation, its editors would soon be disappointed: The first comment came from Louise H:
"The owners of Fridge Bar are black," she said. "Most of the staff, event organizers, security team and fund-providers, are black. Anyone who regularly raves in South London (as I do, including in Fridge Bar), can acknowledge some validity to the points raised in the original post."
Others pleaded for understanding because the perpetrators of the violence may have been "dealt bad cards." Skant Chandan said the violence is perfectly understandable because it is the result of "colonial invasions."
Scholars of Critical Race Theory in the United States often say slavery is the cause of disproportionate amounts of black mob violence and black-on-white crime. But slavery was almost nonexistent in England. The slave trade was outlawed in 1807. An anti-slavery legal judgment from 100 years prior to that declared black people are "free; one may be a villein in England, but not a slave."
Customers of the Fridge Bar offered their comments more in support and resignation than in anger:
"Again it's sad but true some black people give us a bad name!," said Melanie James. "I went to a club and [they] wouldn't let us in the bouncers took us aside and said that the[y] have been advised not to let anymore black people in!"
A black club promoter named Angie said: "Sometimes the truth hurts but its [sic] got to be said."
Another black customer offered encouragement: "Do not apologize for speaking absolute truth," said Rod Vel. "You are 100 percent right. I agree with every word. I've had this coco with friends and other ppl recently. Even if a white person was to write this I wouldn't be offended I've seen this happen so much."
Another customer said it happens in North London as well as the South part of London where the Fridge Bar is located: "When I lived in Nth. London, every now and then a swarm of black youths use to swarm into the area and walk into bars purely to cause trouble," said Neil Suchak. "I have not encountered this with any other minorities."
Yet another put it all in perspective: Drew Campbell said he knew exactly why it was happening, and whence came the black mob violence: "For me, it's the overwhelming negative influence of the USA black urban culture, the gang culture in particular that British black youths adore."
