Books like white girl bleed a lot

White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore Itis a 2012 book by Colin Flaherty. It deals with race and crime in the United States, particularly the knockout game, violent flash mobs, and black-on-white crime. It is published by WorldNetDaily's WND Books imprint.

Thomas Sowell praised the book in the National Review, linking it to his ownIntellectuals and Society, and suggested that the book and its message were being ignored or silenced. Radio show host Larry Elder wrote that according to Flaherty's book "the knockout game has gone national."

Alex Pareene, after checking the sources cited, claimed inSalonthat the figures presented by Flaherty were inflated and the reporting misleading. Cathy Young inNewsdaybrought up the book when discussing the knockout game, and mentioned how she felt Flaherty, while in error in a particular case, brings forth a "narrative [that] raises a painful question" about the media's failure to report incidents accurately when perpetrators are black. That failure, she cautions, undermines the media's credibility and actually risks encouraging racist paranoia.
