The death rate by violence for black males living in urban areas is 10x the national average. And, inner city blacks experience much higher rates of rape, robbery, burglary, and aggravated assault than do inner city whites.Why? Data from the largest recidivism study ever done in the US indicates the shocking statistic that the 272,111 inmates profiled had accumulated 4.1 million arrests prior to their current imprisonment. Does that astound you? And these are just the crimes that the law knows about.

As to crime rates, of the approximately 1,700,000 interracial crimes of violence between blacks and whites, 90% are committed by blacks on whites. When I first read the Justice Department figures and contacted the FBI, I almost fell out of my chair. All of the media tells a very different story. These figures were so shocking that I was GOBSMACKED! However, read Larry Elder’s books, or Thomas Sowell’s. They have the guts to tell the truth about the enormity of black on white violent crime in the United States. Here’s a few more statistics that the media doesn’t tell us because it is not politically correct. If the news got out, maybe being a victim wouldn’t work so well. Hispanics are three times more violent than whites. Asians are one half to three quarters as violent as whites.Why are Asians so much less violent than everyone else? Maybe because of their close knit family structure and their dedication to educational achievement?? Blacks are twice as likely as whites to have committed documented hate crimes. Blacks are 250 times more likely than whites to engage in multiple-offender or group interracial violence.

What is even more fascinating is that a white person arrested for murder or non-negligent manslaughter is more likely to be sentenced to death than a black person sentenced for the same crime (1,6% vs 1.2%) Of the inmates under death sentences, whites have their sentences carried out 7.2% of the time vs blacks 5.9% of the time. Lastly, while 58 % of prisoners serving sentences for murder (as of a 1997 study) were black, only 40% of the inmates on death row were black. How does that square up with the perceptions that we are always pounded with in the media. Also, the aquittal rate in urban areas for trials is astronomically higher than in the US as a whole. While it is 13% nationally, in some urban areas it is over 50%, which means that criminals are unleashed on their communities. On top of that, the plea down rate in urban areas is astronomical, because prosecutors are increasingly aware of the difficulty of getting a conviction at trial. The result? Crime waves are sweeping inner cities and hurting the good people trying to live a decent life. And, the police are becoming increasingly afraid to do their jobs for fear of being accused of being racist.

I don’t know if my politically incorrect empiricism will make people angry, but I truly believe the truth will set us all free. I am right in there with Larry Elder, JC Watts, Star Parker, Thomas Sowell and others. Unless we all start talking truth, and stop talking trash, nothing’s going to get fixed, and hate is going to grow. So, Raven, the jails are full of lots of violent offenders, and a very few not-so-violent offenders. So are the streets. That’s why so many innocent people get murdered, assaulted, raped, molested, and robbed. On my block, there are twelve sex offenders on the register. Why? So, Let’s stop worrying about Martha Stewart, stop being victims, and start dealing with the truth.

The simple reality is this…..once the larger Black community starts applying the approach of Great thinking Black Americans like LaShawn and Larry Elder or Star Parker and start throwing off the hatred and victimology of the likes of the Gines, Sharpton’s and Jackson’s of the world, then and only then will the Black Community start maturing and achieving the same level of socio-economic status with White and Yellow and Brown Americans!!

It has nothing to do with racism folks……its the perverse mindset in many blacks that simply want to hate and blame all others for their own poor results that hold them back..

It is quite akin to up here in Canada of our Natives that are quite a bit worse off then American Natives….they have the exact same mentality….hatred and unforgiveness of whitey and blame them for everything……and their situation today is absolutely appalling….

And in the larger world, the Muslim mindset is no different…..except their obscene hatred is against Jews and Christians and just about everyone else…….and look how backwards they are!! Ouch….

So, my last question is, are there enough of you out there, who find your love to be more unitive than your hate? Do you have any ideas about how we can reach out and make our voice heard? How can we drown out the incredibly balkanizing voices of those who hold up Huey Long or Mumia Abu al-Jamal as heroes? Who is willing to hold my white hand???????????as an Ameican?????for something greater than either one of us?????????????for something greater than a political party or an ideology???????????????????/

McWhorter himself is an exception. He doesn’t “talk black,” he studied Latin, and currently holds tenure in the UC Berkeley Department of Linguistic Studies. He isn’t likely to wind up behind bars.

Unless I’m seriously mistaken, the overall rates of criminal conduct are pretty much equal across all races, all populations. The difference is (see point on education above) that smarter criminals tend to not commit crimes of violence, crimes with weapons. Our judicial system punishes those sorts of violations with extreme severity.

Consider this: Somewhere in Texas, a black man is doing long, hard time because he tried to buy a $5 piece of crack cocaine. Meanwhile, Martha Stewart is finishing a cush lil’ penitance after illegally nabbing herself $50,000. Here in my hometown, a black defendant just got major hard time for a gang-related exchange of gunfire, whereas in Alabama Richard Scrushy was acquitted on all 40 counts for his role in a 3-billion dollar swindle of Healthcorp South.

So, even if the black population increases its overall academic level of performance, we probably won’t see as much of reduction in crime as we’ll witness a transfer to the more common white-collar kinds of larceny. That, combined with economic leveling, should resolve the statistical imbalance.

Jan, where abouts are you? Perhaps someone here is local to you and can help more specifically.

WAIT… you are my Brother (in Christ)

For starters, priests and other clergy should be tested agaist the scripture and if found wanting, dumped. In your case, you indicate he doesn’t pass the test. Next time you see Daniel, ask him where he goes for fellowship and check it out.
