The article highlights specific incidents involving men assaulting women in broad \u2064daylight in New York City. Two\u2063 arrests were made, including a man identified as Skiboky Stora, a black mayoral\u2063 candidate with provocative Instagram content. The\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exposing-pop-cult-stories-of-2023\/\" title=\"Revealing 2023's Pop \"Cult\" Tales\">article questions<\/a>\u2062 the emphasis on the attacker&#8217;s political views rather\u200d than his race or name.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>Ginia Bellafonte just five years ago was beside herself at how Caucasian the line-up of Rockettes dancers was, calling the performance she attended during the Christmas season \u201can eerie celebration of whiteness.\u201d (\u2018Tis the season!)<\/p>\n<p>But in a painfully obtuse article this week, the New York Times columnist found nothing remarkable about the obvious racial pattern among a raft of women randomly sucker-punched by men on the streets of her own city. Namely, that the assailants are all black.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2116963580\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e786dde5bc6e3d268bdb93c524c832f fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e786dde5bc6e3d268bdb93c524c832f\"><\/div>\n<p>That overt detail was evidently beside the point to Bellafonte, who was instead preoccupied this time not with the race of the offenders, but with the sex of the victims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike all conversations about crime in New York City these days,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/12\/nyregion\/new-york-city-random-attacks-women.html\">wrote Bellafonte<\/a>, \u201cthe one taking hold around these attacks over the past month has quickly defaulted to questions about mental illness and whether the men walking around impulsively hitting women in the face were merely disturbed \u2014 as if it warranted no consideration that a psychological malady might find such brute expression in an antagonism directed at women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/03\/28\/us-news\/another-nyc-woman-claims-she-was-a-victim-of-sucker-punch-attacker\/\">spate of attacks<\/a> in recent weeks involves unsuspecting women who, out of nowhere and in broad daylight, suffers a blow to their heads by strange men passing by. It\u2019s true this makes the matter especially appalling. But if the consistency in the sex attacked is useful, wouldn\u2019t it be helpful to note other similarities?<\/p>\n<p>As Bellafonte noted in her column, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-13253641\/new-york-cops-arrest-viral-tiktok-women-punched-cases.html\">two arrests<\/a> have been made in relation to the sucker-punch episodes, although she identified neither by name and only described one of the men in part as having \u201can Instagram page with provocative images of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">young women<\/a> and pictures of himself standing in front of a \u2018Trump: Make America Great Again\u2019 sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e80b3b114b9db8cc8bf088591d52982 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e80b3b114b9db8cc8bf088591d52982\"><\/div>\n<p>So, the politics of this man are important \u2014\u00a0he\u2019s MAGA! \u2014\u00a0but not his race or name. Fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to what a reader might assume, the alleged Trump-loving woman abuser is not named Kyle Vanderbilt. It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/03\/27\/us-news\/skiboky-stora-arrested-for-sucker-punching-tiktokker\/\">Skiboky Stora<\/a>, a 40-year-old black man who ran for New York mayor and whose Instagram page shows him menacing women around the city. <\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C4OY0yrOrqq\/?igsh=M294MHlhYnFiYzE4\">one video<\/a>, he stalks a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/she-accused-him-of-sexual-assault-the-school-said-she-wasnt-incapacitated-but-did-not-consent-when-she-said-yes\/\" title=\"She Accused Him Of Sexual Assault. The School Said She Wasn\u2019t Incapacitated But Did Not Consent When She Said \u2018Yes.\u2019\">white woman<\/a> who\u2019s attempting to avoid him on the sidewalk as he repeatedly tells her to \u201cslow down\u201d and \u201cput the phone down.\u201d In another, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C2Bf4f8NsSp\/?igsh=MTh3amtnZjhhYWZhaQ==\">records<\/a> a men\u2019s clothing ad featuring a white male model and says, \u201cLook what these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-choice-to-lead-dojs-civil-rights-division-melanin-endows-blacks-with-greater-mental-physical-and-spiritual-abilities-video\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Choice to Lead DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division: \u201cMelanin Endows Blacks with Greater Mental, Physical and Spiritual Abilities\u201d (VIDEO)\">white people<\/a> got going on in our community. Little black kids see this sh-t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the second man charged with abruptly bashing his fist into an unknown woman\u2019s head, that man is 30-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrimeInNYC\/status\/1773803312346800146\">Mallik Miah<\/a>. I\u2019ll let you guess his race.

The more information, the better. <\/p>\n<p>After all, Bellafonte was acutely aware of racial matters in her equally dangerous visit to the Rockettes performance. \u201cThe show I saw featured, as far as I could tell, only one African-American dancer in the lineup of close to 40,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThere were, in the end, more camels on stage than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/black-lives-matter-faces-backlash-after-posting-twerk-video-celebrating-mlk\/\" title=\"Black Lives Matter Faces Backlash After Posting Twerk Video Celebrating MLK\">black women<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I emailed Bellafonte on Friday asking about her omission of the men\u2019s ethnicity in her column about the assaults, but received no response. Perhaps she\u2019s busy counting the number of black diners at Jimmy Buffett\u2019s Margaritaville.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of March, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/7-tiktokers-punched-new-york-2-weeks-police\/story?id=108663722\">police said<\/a> there had been at least seven surprise knockout attacks on women. Other perpetrators still at large are seen on videos that show they\u2019re black. Is there any question that, if this were a pattern of white men whaling on innocent passersby in the middle of the day, a writer at the New York Times would find it worth mentioning? We\u2019d be hearing about rampant <em>white male supremacy<\/em> for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The racial details of unassuming women victimized by violent men on the sidewalk are apparently of no consequence when the criminals are black.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dd6f8882647acc9daddf34cfdd8411ee fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dd6f8882647acc9daddf34cfdd8411ee\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago, Ginia Bellafonte criticized the predominantly Caucasian Rockettes lineup as &#8220;an eerie celebration of whiteness.&#8221; However, in a recent article, the New York Times columnist overlooked the evident racial disparities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2220043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CBS.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2220042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CBS.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2220042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2220043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2220042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2220042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2220042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
