Swap the Races: If Byrdsong Sr was a White man and his killer had been a Black Panther, the MSM would not have reported it at the time. The shooter would have been forgiven, with candles lit in his name and prayers sent to his spook. Byrdsong Sr's
black shooter would be considered to have been murdered by
racist White police. And now, even talking about the death of a White man killed by a Black Supremacist who later died in a shootout with police would be considered taboo - a RACIST topic; but Byrdsong Snr was Black, and his killer was a White man - Ben Smith, of the World Church of the Creator Illinois.
We CREATORS DO NOT FORGET THE WHITE MARTYRS that the politically correct do not want us to see ...

Northwestern's fraught institutional memory of race relationsRicky Byrdsong Jr. doesn't really know why his father was murdered. It's been 20 years since Ricky Byrdsong Sr. was killed by a white nationalist in Skokie, Illinois, and it all still seems too difficult to understand. His father was gregarious, he tells me over the phone on an early November Tuesday. Affectionate, too.
On July 2, 1999, Byrdsong Jr., his sister and their father were out walking near their home in Skokie. Two years prior, Byrdsong Sr. had retired from his four-year tenure as the first Black coach of the Northwestern men's basketball team. He was working for Aon, an insurance and consulting giant in Chicago. Partway through their walk,
the elder Byrdsong was shot by Benjamin Smith, a 21-year-old white supremacist. Over the next three days, Smith would continue on a shooting spree of racial hatred, killing and wounding 12 people of color or religious minorities across Illinois and Indiana.To Byrdsong Jr., the tragedy is still baffling. If his father could have just spoken with Smith the day before he was shot, he says, there's no way the murder would have occurred. If Smith and other killers could just better understand the people they targeted, they would restrain themselves. They would change their minds.
But Byrdsong Jr. is increasingly troubled by something else as well. It's been 20 years, and while the memory of his father's murder is still raw and unfathomable to him, it seems to be slowly evaporating elsewhere.
"You walk around campus these days and you ask a student who Ricky Byrdsong is, and they don't have a clue," Byrdsong Jr. says.
Coach Byrdsong blah blah blah ....

Northwestern students have attempted their own memorials of Coach Byrdsong. A Medill documentary titled Fly Like the Byrd was released in 2009, and straddled the boundary between biopic and investigative feature as
it examined race relations and white hate on the North Shore. Fly Like the Byrd spends a substantial amount of time discussing
the white nationalist background of Byrdsong's murderer, Benjamin Smith, and his ties to the local white nationalist group "The World Church of the Creator."Quote from: BitchuteWHITE VICTIMS OF BLACK CRIME - 0026 - CHANNON CHRISTIAN CHRISTOPHER NEWSOM - DOCUMENTARY

A documentary on the kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
Channon & Chris were carjacked near Knoxville Center Mall & Washington Ridge Apt complex. They were taken 3 miles away to Chipman street where Chris was tortured & sodomized before being shot & set on fire.
Channon was sexually tortured for days, bleach poured over/in her to hide evidence. Hog-tied, her face was wrapped in a plastic bag, and was placed in a large trash can, where she slowly suffocated to death.
