When was the last time you saw any news item about a former Clinton or Carter admin. official saying something stupid or outlandish?

When's the last time you saw a news blurb about a corrupt Democrat official getting indicted or arrested?

The tip off is, if they do have to cover a story about a stupid or corrupt politician...if they DON'T put the (D-IN) by his name, it means, he is a Democrat. The MSM only identify political affiliation in their stories when the GOP is the one getting castigated.

They've been dredging through Santorum's speeches to make issues about them... the latest bruhahah was some reporter complaining about something Rick said in a speech 2 years ago! And some how it's news today!

Get the hint? They make up news stories to slam republicans or conservatives even if they need to take them out of context.

For a minute there i thought that was Rush Limbaugh who said that. Huh, fat chance o' that.  I'm sure he'll defend him on his show. Too bad Bennett did'nt know ' what a Rush' Limbaugh was popping pills when he was Drug Czar , he could've busted him and sent him to an island like Rush said all druggies should go.


Jeepers, this post reminds me of some sort of 'Idiocy on Parade' posts that I used to read at DU!

He has nothing to apologize for, so I would hope and expect that Rush Limbaugh would defend Bennet from the baseless charges brought by the folks of your ilk.

So where you going when you get off work?  A clan meating?  While I do agree with the base of your statement.  Aborting all black babies would not solve the problem.  You would more than likely see a decrease followed by a steady increase in crime.  Then a shrp rise in the number of white convicted felons.  I think you're way off here.  

Dave



so what you're saying is, there are tens of thousands of white "felons in waiting", just itching for their chance when the brothers aren't there anymore?  So, in reality, crimes committed by blacks are actually keeping us evil honkey racist mofos® in line?  That's certainly an interesting theory.  

BTW, it's Klan with a "K".  Many people of Scottish ancestry go to "clan" meetings all the time.



Apparently there's some sort of demand for crime, and if the brothers aren't doing their job whitey has to step in and take up the slack. I think that's what he's trying to say....we can't have a crime vacuum. The world abhors a crime vacuum.

Eric,I agree with you 99.9999999% of the time,but IMHO Bill Bennent is as big a POS as anyone that has ever served in any dimocrap administration.I dont have any sources,however IIRC he was a huge voice behind GHB impossing the weapons importation ban.I have seen him on different sunday morning political shows,the couple of times I have heard him asked about impending gun control legislation,the responses he gave told me he probably gives more money to the Brady bunch than to the NRA I hate to be so narrow minded,but to me that is the measure of a mans character,were he stands on the second ammendment.

He has nothing to apoligize for, so I would hope and expect that Rush Limbaugh would defend Bennet from the baseless charges brought by the folks of your ilk.

BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

Actually it's not that much of a complex concept at all.

It's just that it trips the PC button many folks have allowed to be implanted in their brains.

Talking about "black crime rates" or "hispanic crime rates" from a statistical point of view illicts the same kind of rudimentary knee-jerk reflex in people brainwashed by political correctness as you would see if you talked about "defensive uses of firearms" from a statistical point of view to sheeple who were brainwashed by the Brady Bunch.

I disagree (but can't tell if you are just being sarcastic/joking or not - so maybe you do as well).  I imagine we're probably saying kind of the same thing, just in a different way.

Since the REASON that black women have higher rates of HIV/AIDS is related to life style and choices, and not genetics, it is retarded to try to apply a statistical trend/average to an individual who obviously does NOT engage in high-risk behaviors.

To me, it's more like asking a Rwandan Tutsi who is living in Utah if he is worried about being killed by a mob of Huttus with machetes.

No lack of irony.  The caller suggests that legal abortions have screwed up SS sytem finances.

"His remark was in response to a caller who had suggested   that the Social Security system's finances would be in a much   better position if it were not for the 1973 legalization of   abortion, because there would be more people paying into the   system."






I can just never figure out how Blacks reason that Democrats, who advocate abortion "rights" are not even a little uneasy with the high rates among Blacks, that not only reduces the number of Blacks as "possible" voters but also reduces the number of people paying into social security.  It's like saying Blacks have a special right to Abortion because they know that their children's vote will never be counted and they will never live to collect social security.   Nor can I understand how easily they can believe that Conservatives, who in general do not support abortion "rights" would actually be advocating it in any way.  Just shows you who really runs the circus, the media, as they run with this for all it's worth.

I'm waiting for some words to be replaced by symbols, like with Prince, so at least they can "sort-of" print the words, even if they can't be spoken.

rate is usually given as, for example, crimes PER 100,000 of population.

The black population has a higher crime rate than, for example, the white population, so, yeah, he's right, THE (as in the total across all races), crime rate would go down if you'd genocide all of the black people out of the country.

Major Findings of
The Color of Crime

Crime Rates

• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.

• Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.

• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Interracial Crime

• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.

• 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.

• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.

• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

Gangs

• Only 10 percent of youth gang members are 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.

Incarceration

• Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.

• Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

For what its worth I guess, its culture not color that causes this.  But I don't see how anyone can blaim you for "discriminating" by elevating your situational awareness when a group of thug culture blacks walks by, considering the fact that, for whatever reason, blacks and hispanics are much more likely to be members of the various sub-cultures that cause these problems.  Just because we have established the fact that the correlation between skin color and cultural tendencies are the result of circumstances rather then genetics doesn't mean we are wrong in admitting the fact that the correlation exists.  


It is impossible to make any decisions in day to day life without "stereo-typing".  Stereo-typing, at its essence, is nothing more then inductive reasoning.  We are constantly making decisions based upon a limited amount of information.  When you see a person you are forced to make an initial assessment of them based upon a limited amount of information.  We base these initial assesments upon the information that we do have.  We should realize that this assessment may not be correct, but nonetheless, we should attempt to base our assesment on our previous experiences.  If there were green skinned people, and every green skinned person you ever met tried to rob you, would you be wrong by locking your car door when a green person walks by?




Before anybody starts talking smack, I hate white people just as much as I hate everybody else.  I have pretty much come to the realization that the average person is a fucking immoral and mentally retard fuckstick, white black brown or purple.  Maybe black and hispanic people commit more crime on average because, on average, they have less to lose.

Its RETARED. In the same breath he said that the ideas was reprehensible.

It just pisses me off. It wasnt a serious statement, and if you play the couple sentences after that one you would see that.



Of course adults and those without an axe to grind realize this…

You have to remember the thought Nazi’s and PC police feel the need to clear every word spoken. The true enemies of free speech, free though, and free discussion are exposing themselves.

Look read and watch… see where the real threat of Fascism lies as the left show itself for what it is… Orwell predicted the thought police of the left and now see them work.

Every race has its ******* and crime is not exclusive to one group.  Bennett deserves to be sacked for his stupidity.

A woman once asked my wife if it concerned her that, because she was a black woman, she had a higher likelihood of contracting AIDS.  



That's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard of!!  


No more retarded than thinking being black makes someone more likely to rape, murder, or steal.

If one statement is true, then the other is.

The funny part is many see the idiocy in this case, but can't see it in other examples.

No - it's not that "being a black male makes someone more likely to murder" but rather the other way around: murder rates are highest for black male offenders.

According to the most recent DOJ stats, of the murder offenders where their race is known, over 51% are black offenders (46% are white, the rest are "other").

So while it's false to say that "being black" makes someone more likely to commit murder, it is NOT false to say that a murderer is most likely to be a black person.

Bill was by no means advocating such a thing, but was using an illustration of absurdity in the middle of his radio show. This is, true to form, being blown all out of proportion by the libbie loonies who are desperate to McCarthy anyone they can get their hands on.

That being said, it was a frickin' stupid thing for Bill to say. He has been around Washington long enough to know how the game is played.



Now that's what I'm talkin about.

Quoted:
Since the REASON that black women have higher rates of HIV/AIDS is related to life style and choices, and not genetics, it is retarded to try to apply a statistical trend/average to an individual who obviously does NOT engage in high-risk behaviors.



Actually, I read that researchers are exploring the possibility that there is something in the genetics of blacks that makes them more suseptible to contracting the virus when exposed compared to whites.  But its just a hypothesis. The (reverse) example most commonly cited is blacks resistance to malaria via being more likley genetic carriers for sickle cell.   Either way, the answer still lies in  behavior modification and good medicine/vacinations.
