You remember Tawana Brawley: that’s when Al Sharpton burst on the national scene claiming that Brawley, a black teenage girl, was raped and beaten by a group of white men, smeared with feces and then dumped in a garbage bag. It was all so ghastly, so very KKK, that decent people recoiled in horror and got all mea culpa on behalf of America.
Of course, Tawana Brawley was a liar, a disturbed adolescent who invented the entire episode. And Al Sharpton ruined the lives of several innocent white men.
Off course, Sharpton, a liar and a sociopath, went on to lead a pogrom in Crown Heights because as we all know, the Jews are the whitest of whites, and much like the state of Israel, there is no downside to a good old-fashioned blood libel where the mainstream media is concerned.
Presenting Our Featured Dancers: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Spike Lee, and the Black Panthers.
Added to this toxic brew of vulgar race-baiters are the racist, Jew-hating Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s spiritual advisor for over 20-years, the racist, Jew-hating Derrick Bell, Obama’s fav professor at Harvard, and of course now we have President Obama, a polished race-baiter who feels compelled, because he’s so compassionate and hey, don’t look at those rising gas prices, to inform us that Trayvon Martin would look like his son if he had one—a profoundly touching image until you learn that Trayvon Martin tweeted as “No Limit Nigga.” Which I’m pretty certain is not how Obama envisions his unborn son.
This is the Tawana Brawley Tango.
The mainstream media swarms the dance floor at the bidding of these race hustlers. Remember the Duke University Lacrosse team?
Three white athletes were accused by Crystal Gail Mangum, a black stripper—according to the media, pure as the driven snow, and oh what a great role model, working her way through college by displaying her anatomy—of a vicious gang rape and beating. Duke academics of the leftist persuasion piled on with a self-righteous petition loaded with all the tediously fashionable deconstruction lingo of race and gender, and presto the boys were convicted and tried on the front pages. What did it matter that the stripper was a liar and a sociopath?
The Tawana Brawley Tango reappeared in Los Angeles with the Rodney King riots. Yours truly was caught in a private Hollywood screening, a charity event to raise money for, get this, inner-city youths. Imagine our surprise when the inner city youths actually tried to get in and murder all the good-hearted Hollywood liberals.

As a public service, Seraphic Secret details the choreography of the Tawana Brawley Tango so at least you’ll recognize the dance when you see it.
1. White on Black. If a white man—and the definition of white man has nothing to do with skin color, George Zimmerman, according to the NY Times is a “white Hispanic”—kills a black man, it’s screaming headlines, screeching race-baiters, and an oh-so-solemn American president who feels compelled to make this a teaching moment for those Americans who still cling to their bibles and guns. Why? Because white on black violence—we have no idea if Zimmerman committed a crime—is as rare as the Dodo bird. But the left who control America’s mainstream media need to perpetuate the delusion that America is an institutionally racist country in order to maintain their hold on liberal voters and power.
2. Black on White. If a black man rapes and murders a an 85 year-old white women, and beats her 90 year- old husband within an inch of his life—Bob and Nancy Strait of Tulsa Oklahoma—the crime goes down the memory hole, never even appears in the mainstream media. Why? Because black on white crime is so common that to acknowledge this truth would undermine the left’s contention that blacks cannot be racist, that whiteness is inherently evil, that fatherless black children are more likely to turn into violent criminals than any other demographic. It would be an admission that the welfare complex white liberals have dumped on their black neighbors is not just a national tragedy, but a crime against humanity.
3. Black on Black. If a black kills another black, as happened to Derrion Albert, of Oakland, a black 16 year-old honor student, this too merits zero attention from the national media because let’s face it, black on black crime is the name of the game. Several years ago I was in a gun shop here in Los Angeles where I fell into conversation with two middle-aged black ladies, church-going sisters wearing their Sunday best, buying handguns because their home had been invaded so many times by drugged-out, inner-city, ahem, youths, they feared for their lives.
And finally, here’s the resolution—screenwriters understand that every narrative needs a killer resolution: If you set the Tawana Brawley Tango in motion there are no consequences for your moral depravity. In fact, you will eventually be rewarded by the liberal establishment with your own show on MSNBC. Nevermind that only about eleven people view the show on a daily basis, it’s the tango that counts.
Surely someone in the White House could have checked that Mr Zimmermann has been a registered Democrat voter for quite a while.

CNN and MSNBC have been pushing this story as if the Duke case had never happened and they really really have amnesia when it comes to Sharpton. Brawley is just the tip of his disgraceful race hustling (Freddies and Crown Heights) and he has never apologized for any of it. The fact that he is accorded respect by anyone (including Hannity and O’Reilly) is to their shame.
For that matter why does anyone give any of the race hustlers any respect? The recent kerfuffle with Bell getting kudos from Soledad O’Brien should make people question what universe these people are living in that they think race baiters and anti-Semites are respectable.
During the Watts riots of August 1965, I lived and worked in San Fernando Valley. One of my co-workers lived in Watts, and was afraid to go home. She had a small child in day care near our place of employment. I also had a small child about the same age, and invited her to come stay with me; she took me up on my offer. The manager of my apt building took exception to me having a black person in my apt and threatened to give me a 3-day notice to move. I told him, if he were so foolish to do that, he would be sued to hell and back. I guess he believed me, as my friend and co-worker stayed with me for 3 or 4 days until it was safe for her to return home. Reading about your experiences in 1992, reminded me of 1965. I left Los Angeles in 1970.
Fast forward, one of my granddaughters fell in love with a man, who is ½ Native American and ½ Afro-American. Thus I now have 3 “black” or if you will, Native American great grandchildren, and all of them adorable. I call them Hines 57 verities as I can trace their genealogies to Russia, Spain, England, Scotland, and the Jamestown Colony. The oldest is 14, in high school in an accelerated program, with college courses. She is GPA 4.0, and by the time she graduates will not only have a high school diploma but her AA and will transfer directly into UC and on to medical school. I don’t think there is any excuse for the racial divisions in our culture, as we are a melting pot. And, there is no way she, or her 2 younger brothers would be slouching around the streets in the middle of the night in “hoodies.” Her uncle, who was abused as a child by black children in school, would defend his black niece and nephews with his life.
I know that I am a little prejudiced in their favor, but the mixture of Russian Jews, Spanish Jews, Scottish Highlanders, Native American, and Afro-American has resulted in the most beautiful and intelligent children. The older of them thinks Sharpton and his ilk are disgusting. the others are too young to have an opinion.
I do not believe Lawrence O’Donnell intelligent. Educated, yes. Dangerous, an even more resounding yes. Sharpton is, whatever. He is of little consequence. The enablers are indeed consequental. That cuts across most of both the media and our political leadership, in all parties. We are , I am afraid, in for it.
Mr. Avrech,
It is,again, the unfairness of the entire situation which is remarkable to me. How could a bright man like, say, Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC, be conned by the likes of Al Sharpton into serving this narrative on which Sharpton existed even before Tawana Brawley? Does it not occur to those intelligent people like O’Donnell at MSNBC that as sad as the death of young Mr. Martin is, the emphasis would most productively be placed on the scourge of black people (many young?) killing other black people? Is it all really about ratings and they don’t give a damn about blacks or whites or Hispanic whites, for that matter? I feel exasperated by the whole scene. I am not a racist, am not motivated by hatred for blacks, but it seems that the story is not being told in full. It seems to me that Sharpton has created a monster via his inflammatory rhetoric/behaviour, vis a vis, Sanford, Fla. Not the least of this creation is the presence of a black hate group which is offering a $10,000 bounty for the capture of Mr.Zimmerman. I have seen a leader of the group refer to themselves as “military.” I wonder how this will go when the group decides that the peaceful rhetoric is not their cup of tea and “the white man’s law” not of interest to them. This can be laid at Sharpton’s door. He is responsible for all of this turmoil. How about “innocent until proven guilty?” It doesn’t apply in his world unless he is the target and then “innocent until proven guilty” is sacrosanct.
I realize that my comments are “preaching to the choir”, but it still bugs me that such unfairness reigns. Blacks have been the victims of such hate and privation in this country. Slavery, Jim Crow and the lingering racial prejudice that exist are undeniable. However, to limit the scope of the dilemma facing blacks to how they are put upon by a rigged system and the racism of the white majority is a con which is immense. I can’t go more with this one just now, Mr. Avrech, as it is enervating to me.
Regards,
Ciarrai
p.s. I started to read your “Jews Without Guns”, but the 2nd and 3rd part kick over to Breitbart’s website and I don’t know how to access it.

Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Belief in the narrative of racism is a a tenet of the leftist religion. To demur is heresy. Critical reasoning doesn’t come into it.
Ciarrai:
The links have been fixed to the series. Sorry about that.
I agree completely with Kishke’s answer to your question. Again, thanks so much for writing.
This tango is easy. Two 2 steps forward and 3 steps back…
