Saw the following Vent in this morning’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation:
Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. were both Republicans. The Democratic Party was the party of the Ku Klux Klan. Percentage wise more Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats. Under the circumstances, I can’t understand why Blacks vote overwhelming for Democrats.
I can.
1. They’re stupid and the Dimocrat Party wants to keep them that way. Who controls inner city schools in every large city? Dimocrats.
2. They’re poor and depend upon gummint handouts. Who keeps them that way? Dimocrats. LBJ’s Great Fucking Society did what years of Jim Crow laws (passed by Dimocrats, BTW) couldn’t do. It destroyed the black family. The illegitimacy rate among blacks is 73%. Almost three out of every four black children are born out of wedlock. There’s an expressway to poverty right there. LBJ said about passing his poverty programs that it would “have niggers voting Dimocrat for the next 200 years”. He was correct.
3. Black “leaders” are in in the scam. Do you really think that RWPPs like Jesse Hymietown Jackson and Al Tawana Brawley Crown Heights Riots Freddie’s Fashion Mart Arson Sharpton want to eliminate poverty and racism? Are you kidding? That’s their raison d’être. If that stuff was eliminated, they’d be out of work. They’ve become very rich men while doing very little to eliminate poverty among their people and have actually worsened racial relations in this country. The same goes for the Congressional Black Caucus, a bunch of racists right there. They make $175K per year while doing nothing for education and poverty. You don’t solve poverty by giving poor people money. If that worked, there would be no more poverty in this country.
This leads me to this conundrum which many readers have sent me.
Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:
1. America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
And here’s another one worth considering…
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What’s interesting is the first group “worked for” their money, but the second didn’t. Think about it…..
and Last but not least,
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.
The War on Poverty is almost fifty years old and what do we have to show for it? About the same level of poverty and trillions of dollars of debt. To Dimocrats, this is called “success” because their poor black base keeps voting for them. Just think of all the good things we could have done with that money. A high orbit permanent space station like in 2001: A Space Odyssey or a scientific base on the moon. Instead, we have inner city poverty with its resulting gummint dependency and crime. We had so much to look forward to in the 60’s. Too bad we didn’t get it.
History shows that civilisations run for about 200 years on average. Then they implode. Moral decay, greed, apathy, dependance, etc; all the things we see around us.
Keep that gun loaded and prepare for the fall.
The good news is that the uninformed and the dependent will be the first to turn their toes up. (and I’d like to think, the LSM)
This continuous, never-ending argument that blacks are owed extra by whatever convoluted logic they use is beyond ridiculous. It has been used and abused beyond belief. Those that continue to pander to this logic, for whatever reason, seem to want to keep blacks on the plantation, then use it to knock the white man, who we all know is the cause of their suppression.
Only in America can you get access to an Ivy League school and entrance into the corridors of power and still maintain you’re a victim of the very society that allowed you to flourish.
Not only that, but most poor blacks’ problems of are their own making. They drop out of school. The cannot speak or write proper English. They don’t wait until they are married to have children. 73% of black children are born of single mothers. They have children they cannot afford and continue to do so and then demand someone pay for their irresponsibility. They don’t develop a work ethic. It’s a stereotype but it’s true that blacks have problems being on time for work. Many stereotypes derive from observation. And, I’m a racist for pointing this out.
No, you’re a racist for taking the actions of some blacks and extrapolating them to the entire black population. It’s the mindset that says it’s alright to apply the criminality of 6% of the black population to the other 94%.
Mike – No more so than liberals calling all whites racists for the actions of a few. Works both ways.
The Color of Crime
Imagine if one demographic group in America were 33 times more prone to commit crimes than another group. How would you feel about the relatively crime-prone group? The relatively crime-free group? Wouldn’t you want to know about such differences?
But we don’t have to imagine anything. The above contrast was not a
hypothetical case, but rather the statistical relationship of black to Asian
crime in America, as detailed in the ground-breaking new report, The Color of Crime, released by the New Century Foundation, the organization that sponsors American Renaissance magazine.
* “… between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.”
* Between 2001 and 2003, blacks committed, on average, 15,400 black-on-white rapes per year, while whites averaged only 900 white-on-black rapes per
year.
* “Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year
involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.”
But there are five-and-one-half as many whites as blacks. If anything, the numbers should be reversed. After all, as leftists always tell us, all
groups are supposed to be equally represented in all categories, for good or ill. (Well, not really. Leftists never call on the NBA and NFL to institute
racial parity for white players.)
* Nationally, youth gangs are 90 percent non-white. “Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.”
* The only crime category in which Asians are more heavily represented than whites is illegal gambling.
* “Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks.
Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10
percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.”
But how can that be, when for years commentators of all political
persuasions have insisted that the majority of the victims of black crime
were themselves black? But it has been true for some time, because blacks increasingly target whites based on the color of the latter’s skin. The commentators have been guilty variously of lying and laziness.
* Far from being guilty of “racially profiling” innocent blacks, police have
been exercising racial bias on behalf of blacks, arresting fewer blacks than their proportion of criminals: “… blacks who committed crimes that were reported to the police were 26 percent less likely to be arrested than people of other races who committed the same crimes.”
* “… police are determined to arrest non-black rather than black criminals.” (I have seen this practice in operation on the streets and subways of New York.)
* “[Blacks] are eight times more likely than people of other races to rob
someone, for example, and 5.5 times more likely to steal a car.”
Well, as everyone knows, innocent blacks get rounded up by the police all
the time, so we can safely ignore such statistics. After all, isn’t that
what the NAACP, Village Voice, New York Times, and countless black
“activists” and prominent academics have been saying for years? After all, although the folks insisting on racial profiling have no facts to back up
their claims, they enjoy political prestige and moral authority. The Color
of Crime, meanwhile, is based merely on lowly facts. As we shall see,
prominent people are already saying that we should ignore The Color of
Crime, because it wasn’t produced by the right sort of people. (And of
course, “the right sort of people” doesn’t tell the truth about race and
crime.)
* Charges of racial profiling, which maintain that police target innocent
black motorists for traffic more stops notwithstanding, a 2002 study by
Maryland’s Public Service Research Institute found that police were stopping too few black speeders (23%), compared to their proportion of actual speeders (25%). In fact, “blacks were twice as likely to speed as whites” in general, and there was an even higher frequency of black speeders in the 90-mph and higher range.
* “… the only evidence for police bias is disproportionate arrestrates for
those groups police critics say are the targets of bias. High black arrest
rates appear to reflect high crime rates, not police misconduct.”
* Blacks not only commit violent crimes at far higher rates than non-blacks, but their crimes are more violent than those of whites. Blacks are three times as likely as non-blacks to commit assault with guns, and twice as likely as non-blacks to commit assault with knives.
* Blacks not only commit violent crimes at far higher rates than whites, but blacks commit “white collar” offenses — fraud, bribery, racketeering and embezzlement, respectively — at two to five times the white rate.
* The single greatest indicator of an area’s crime rate is not poverty or
education, but race and ethnicity. Even when one controls for income and
education, the black crime rate is much higher than the white rate.
Things are actually much worse than the above notes suggest. As The Color of Crime notes, the feds inflate white crime statistics by counting Hispanic offenders as white; at the same time, “Hispanics are a [hate crime] victim category but not a perpetrator category. If someone attacks a Mexican for racial reasons, he becomes a Hispanic victim of a hate crime. However, if the same Mexican commits a hate crime against a black, he is classified as a ‘white’ perpetrator. Even more absurdly, if a Mexican commits a hate crime against a white, both victim and perpetrator are reported as white.” Thus, the number of white perpetrators is bloated, while the number of white victims is constricted by the federal double-standard.
But things are even worse than the study shows. It fails to note, with
black-on-white male prison rape an institutionalized sport among black
inmates that hundreds of thousands of white men have thus been victimized but never counted by the government. Meanwhile, white-on-black male prison rape is virtually non-existent.
Some of the study’s many sources were the FBI’s uniform crime reports
(UCRs); the feds’ National Crime Victimization Study (NCVS), in which
149,000 people across the country, in statistical proportion to all
demographic groups, were called; the National Incident-Based Reporting
System (NIBRS); Supplemental Homicide Reports (SHRs); State Court Processing Statistics (SCPS); National Youth Gang Survey; Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP); and National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP). The succinct report slays dragons in the course of mere footnotes, such as its nailing of tenured California State University criminology professor Phyllis B. Gerstenfeld, who in her book Hate CrimesCauses, Controls and Controversies, the reality of interracial violence be damned, depicted whites only as perpetrators, and not as the victims of hate crimes.
The Color of Crime – not to be confused with a 1998 piece of propaganda of the same name by tenured University of Maryland professor of criminology, Katheryn K. Russell — is the most scientifically rigorous research on crime and race available. It’s the state of the art.
The mainstream media will surely be anxious to publicize and discuss The
Color of Crimehttp://www.freerepublic.com/perl/pings?more=323647529#. After all, hasn’t the public been inundated since the late
1990s (and ultimately, since the 1960s) with dubious charges of racism
(“racial profiling”) against law enforcement and the justice system? And
don’t the MSM always tell us that they will report on anything newsworthy?
After all, the New York Times claims to be “the newspaper of record.”
If you were to subtract black crime from the US crime statistics, we’d be the most law-abiding nation on the planet by quite a margin!!!
itslucky – Mike in the previous comment thread will call you a racist for pointing this out, just like he said I was a racist for pointing out that blacks are largely responsible for their plight
The term racist was coined in the early 20th Century by Bolshevik Communists! Anyone who uses it is a Communist, a fellow traveler, or a dupe. The word “minorities” is another Socialist term and the same applies! Understand one thing in this so-called Global Village! The White Man is the true “minority” and always has been; he is less then 10% of the world population and yet has created a civilization unequaled in scope since the beginning of recorded history! All others are simply “visitors” to this civilization, and many unwelcomed visitors at that!
itslucky – Time to dust off this Heinlein quote to further prove your point.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.”
And that’s where America is heading. A run of “bad luck”.
