Are Blacks More Likely To Commit Crime?
Jared Taylor on The Queen Latifa Show Discussing the need for racial profiling:
I have to admit that it shocked me to hear somebody defend racism. Queen Latifa is very correct when she said that you can't base a statistical arguement on statistics because the statistics are made through a biased ratio. When they take a census on who is in the prison systems, and who has spent time in jail, it completely excludes white collar crimes, which are committed by a mostly white clientel. On top of that, when you look at the neighborhoods that cops tend to patrol, they tend to patrol neighborhoods that are dominately black. And yes, it is a nationwide statistic, that African Americans make lower incomes as a culture than the dominant white, European culture. So many of these neighborhoods are looking rough. I can garauntee that there are just as many crimes being committed in dominately white neighborhoods and black neighborhoods, but cops patrol the black neighborhoods more. If you're looking for the dust on the mantel, you're going to find it.
There is no race or group that does not commit any crimes as a whole. That is a fact. You can find all races, religions, genders or anything else you can think of have a representative in jail. I really like Bill Cosby's speech he gave at the 50th commemoration of Brown vs the Board of Education...

Ladies and gentlemen, these people set, they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they"re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child. I"m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? (applause) Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy? The church is only open on Sunday. And you can't keep asking Jesus to ask doing things for you. You can't keep asking that God will find a way. God is tired of you. God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That's where God was because these people were doing something. And God said, "I"m going to find a way." I wasn't there when God said it"¦ I"m making this up. But it sounds like what God would do. We cannot blame white people. White people... white people don't live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don't know us as well"¦they stay open 24 hours. 50 percent drop out rate, I"m telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse, I want somebody to love me, and as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them. All this child knows is "gimme, gimme, gimme." These people want to buy the friendship of a child"¦.and the child couldn't care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we"ve done, we still fear our parents. And these people are not parenting. They"re buying things for the kid. $500 sneakers, for what? They won't buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics. A Kenneth Clark, somewhere in his home in upstate New York"¦just looking ahead. Thank God, he doesn't know what's going on, thank God. But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard. Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged, "The cops shouldn't have shot him." What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else. And I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said if get caught with it you"re going to embarrass your mother. Not you"re going to get your butt kicked. No. You"re going to embarrass your mother. You"re going to embarrass your family. Are you not paying attention, people with their hat on backwards, pants down around the crack. Isn't that a sign of something, or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up. Isn't it a sign of something when she's got her dress all the way up to the crack"¦and got all kinds of needles and things going through her body. What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans, they don't know a damned thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap and all of them are in jail. (When we give these kind of names to our children, we give them the strength and inspiration in the meaning of those names. What's the point of giving them strong names if there is not parenting and values backing it up.) Brown Versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We"ve got to take the neighborhood back. We"ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go, ra," I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't"¦" You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they"re moving ahead on this? Well, they know they"re not, they"re just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you"re just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. Now look, I"m telling you. It's not what they"re doing to us. It's what we"re not doing. 50 percent drop out. Look, we"re raising our own ingrown immigrants. These people are fighting hard to be ignorant. There's no English being spoken, and they"re walking and they"re angry. Oh God, they"re angry and they have pistols and they shoot and they do stupid things. And after they kill somebody, they don't have a plan. Just murder somebody. Boom. Over what? A pizza? And then run to the poor cousin's house. They sit there and the cousin says "What are you doing here?" "I just killed somebody, man." "What?" "I just killed somebody, I"ve got to stay here." "No, you don't." "Well, give me some money, I"ll go"¦" "Where are you going?" "North Carolina." Everybody wanted to go to North Carolina. But the police know where you"re going because your cousin has a record. I"m saying Brown Vs. Board of Education. We"ve got to hit the streets, ladies and gentlemen. I"m winding up, now , no more applause. I"m saying, look at the Black Muslims. There are Black Muslims standing on the street corners and they say so forth and so on, and we"re laughing at them because they have bean pies and all that, but you don't read "Black Muslim gunned down while chastising drug dealer." You don't read that. They don't shoot down Black Muslims. You understand me. Muslims tell you to get out of the neighborhood. When you want to clear your neighborhood out, first thing you do is go get the Black Muslims, bean pies and all. And your neighborhood is then clear. The police can't do it. I"m telling you Christians, what's wrong with you? Why can't you hit the streets? Why can't you clean it out yourselves? It's our time now, ladies and gentlemen. It is our time. And I"ve got good news for you. It's not about money. It's about you doing something ordinarily that we do-get in somebody else's business. It's time for you to not accept the language that these people are speaking, which will take them nowhere. What the hell good is Brown V. Board of Education if nobody wants it? What is it with young girls getting after some girl who wants to still remain a virgin. Who are these sick black people, and where did they come from, and why haven't they been parented to shut up? To go up to girls and try to get a club where "you are nobody..," this is a sickness, ladies and gentlemen, and we are not paying attention to these children. These are children. They don't know anything. They don't have anything. They"re homeless people. All they know how to do is beg. And you give it to them, trying to win their friendship. And what are they good for? And then they stand there in an orange suit and you drop to your knees, "He didn't do anything, he didn't do anything." Yes, he did do it. And you need to have an orange suit on too. We have to begin to build in the neighborhood, have restaurants, have cleaners, have pharmacies, have real estate, have medical buildings instead of trying to rob them all. And so, ladies and gentlemen, please, Dorothy Height, wherever she's sitting, she didn't do all that stuff so that she could hear somebody say "I can't stand algebra, I can't stand"¦" and "what you is." It's horrible. Basketball players, multimillionaires, can't write a paragraph. Football players, multimillionaires, can't read. Yes. Multimillionaires. Well, Brown v. Board of Education, where are we today? It's there. They paved the way. What did we do with it? The white man, he's laughing, got to be laughing. 50 percent drop out, rest of them in prison. You got to tell me that if there was parenting, help me, if there was parenting, he wouldn't have picked up the Coca Cola bottle and walked out with it to get shot in the back of the head. He wouldn't have. Not if he loved his parents. And not if they were parenting! Not if the father would come home. Not if the boy hadn't dropped the sperm cell inside of the girl and the girl had said, "No, you have to come back here and be the father of this child." Not: "I don't have to." Therefore, you have the pile up of these sweet beautiful things born by nature raised by no one. Give them presents. You"re raising pimps. That's what a pimp is. A pimp will act nasty to you so you have to go out and get them something. And then you bring it back and maybe he or she hugs you. And that's why pimp is so famous. They"ve got a drink called the "Pimp-something." You all wonder what that's about, don't you? Well, you"re probably going to let Jesus figure it out for you. Well, I"ve got something to tell you about Jesus. When you go to the church, look at the stained glass things of Jesus. Look at them. Is Jesus smiling? Not in one picture. So, tell your friends. Let's try to do something. Let's try to make Jesus smile. Let's start parenting. Thank you, thank you. |

I think it's pretty obvious why the majority of people in prison are of an ethnic minority. It's certainly not genetic. Crime is a social issue and always has been. Environment is the greatest determining factor with respect to social influence of all kinds. Poverty, tremendous fear & hate, strength in ignorant numbers, etc. It all breeds crime as a result that long precedes the specific premeditated reaction, rather than action. It's so ridiculously easy. How can anyone escape the black and white math? (no pun intended) Blacks are simply the largest minority and naturally within this primitive class oriented social structure, they WILL constitute the majority populous within our criminal institutions. Rehabilitation is NOT a viable solution. Nor is it a response that in any way will beckon a successful outcome. Prevention is the ONLY solution.

Jared Taylor is just an example of what Hitler was capable of. He tries to "show" people that prejudice is good for them, and can keep them out of trouble.
I consider (I am white) white people more treacherous most of the time. Maybe because I deal more with white people, and the few black people that I know are good people(most of them).
Yet, all human should know that it's not the colour of your skin, or the polish of your nails that says who you are.
That is just some rich guy trying to look smart in his suit. He really is making a fool of himself.
Even if it is statistically true that blacks commit more crime, racial profiling is too dangerous in a society that is still very prejudiced, whether we like to admit it or not. There is too much room for error, and too much opportunity for abuse. I really like and respect Bill Cosby and though he is speaking to the black community, much of what he says applies to every ethnic group in this country. It's not just the black kids that are not being parented.

Comments: The man talks a lot of sense. In fact, it seems a bit stupid to have invited someone on, who is simply going to talk about cold, hard statistics. What else can he do? I couldn't understand the presenter's arguments against it.
Can you argue with statistics?
Some have said that more blacks are arrested because the police patrol more black areas. The problem here is that they patrol more black areas for a reason in the first place. Statistics!
The comment about serial killers was a bit silly and played right into his hands, because the fact IS that more serial killers are white. The thing here is that a serial killer is rare. It's not a day to day social problem. It could be turned into silly semantics with 'serial muggers', 'serial robbers', 'serial drug dealers' etc, if you really wanted to, and that would bring the whole statistical thing back to blacks committing the crimes.

Comments: The fact is blacks do not score as high on IQ tests as whites. People with low IQ's end up in jail more often than more intelligent people. Blacks earn less than whites for the same reason! A white pilot will earn about the same as a black pilot. The countries with the most violence tend to be black countries. The country with the highest crime rate (Grenada) is almost 100% black. Lets face it, there are differences between the races, just accept it and stop trying to pretend otherwise. Blacks are stronger/faster than whites. Look at the Olympics who wins all the running contests? Never mind who wins, just look at the athletes. They're all black. Look at pro boxing... all black. Put a white guy in the ring with a black, the black guy will turn the white guy into mush. There are race differences... accept it.
