The Truth about Black Crime, Part II

Taboo! The Truth about Black Crime, Part II
As long as mankind is imperfect, human societies will be imperfect and one glaring imperfection is the prevalence of criminal activities. When we ignore or deny the truth concerning the perpetrators of crime we not only perpetuate but encourage such activities.

Such is the prevailing wisdom today in America where political correctness–and fear–dictate domestic policy with regard to law enforcement, such as with profiling, and media reports regarding Black on Black and Black on White crimes.

The motivation for the PC element is obvious: Suck up.

The fear element is rooted in the terror politicians feel should they speak the truth and thereby incur the wrath of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ACORN minions at election time.

As noted in the first of this “Taboo!” series, “It’s one thing if Blacks choose to maim and murder other Blacks. When they choose to visit mayhem on others, they should take into account that they are a minority,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1243, point being that neither the majority of a people and certainly not a minority are permitted to get away with murder.

And murder, as well as every other crime imaginable, is rampant in Black communities.

Ta-Nahisi Coates, a Black woman, contends in an expletive-laden article on, of all websites, TheAtlantic.com, that Blacks deeply care about the violence epidemic among their own.

She concludes, based on her close observation, that “the sentiment that black people are unconcerned about black on black crime is simply wrong:” http://bit.ly/1cFB0e.

If Coates is correct, it’s difficult to comprehend why the mayhem continues unabated, even with Black idol, Bill Cosby, preaching values, restraint and personal responsibility.

Another observer draws a parallel between abortions and Black crime, sugesting that if abortion were not legalized in 1973 Black criminal rates would be even more astronomical. See the charts and data for pre- and post- Roe v Wade crime here: http://bit.ly/GX7uR.

One oft-heard, simplistic defense for Black crime stats is that they aren’t true, that more Whites are evil-doers, and more Whites are serving prison time. It’s a simplistic argument since Whites outnumber Blacks in America by a ratio of 5 to 1 that more Caucasian reprobates would be reasonable.

We also hear that so great a percentage of Blacks, principally, young, male Blacks, are imprisoned in America’s jails not due to their crimes but because of racial discrimination.

That’s tantamount to saying that a much lower percentage of White people who should be in prison are comfortably ensconced in their homes watching the boob tube and swilling Budweisers simply because of their race.

In other words, murders, robberies, assaults, rapes, burglaries, etc. have absolutely nothing to do with rates of incarceration. It all goes back to racism, as does the sad inability of swine to fly.

Then we come to the issue of interracial crimes. . . .

The Roman Way: The Case for and against Polanski

The Roman Way: The Case for and against Polanski

God forbid we get France miffed at us! Next time they get invaded, they may not call for a rescue!

The French are indeed miffed, and not just because being miffed at one thing or another is a national trait. They’re annoyed now since the U.S. decided to have the Swiss arrest a child rapist, one Roman Polanski, and for trying to have him extradited back to the States to face some discordant music.

Some Americans, even outside Hollywood, have also taken up Polanski’s cause giving rise to a debate as to what should be done with Roman, to either release him and send him on his merry way or hang him by his privates.

The Case for Roman:

This faction is impassioned. Look, they say, the guy’s old now, 76, his so-called “crime” happened 31 years ago, and his victim, Samantha Geimer, nee’ Gailey, has forgiven him and favors cutting him loose.

And, besides, he’s famous and suffered enough from the Nazis, with the Manson murder of his third wife, Sharon Tate, and he’s already been punished by being shut out of American movie making!

As a typical defender of this reprobate writes, “Polanski didn’t violate his victim by having sex with her without her consent, he violated American notions of childhood purity:” http://bit.ly/IXwcM.

All that amounts to nil. Polanski was 44 at the time of the crime, Samantha was 13, he pled guilty to having “unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor,” aka, rape, his fame is irrelevant, and he fled the country to avoid a stiff sentence.

The only substantive basis for freeing him from his Zurich confinement is, . . .

Taboo! The Truth About Black Crime Part One

Taboo! The Truth About Black Crime: Part I

With news that 4 youths have been arrested in the brutal murder of a student at Fenger High in Chicago which follows by a week an attack on student aboard a school bus in Missouri, the issue of crime in America has once again been moved to the top of the page.

The horrendous Chicago act involved a Black boy, Derrion Albert, an innocent bystander to a wild ruckus, who was set upon by fellow Blacks for no apparent reason and beaten, kicked, and pummeled to death.

Derrion happened to be in a very wrong place at an extremely wrong time and died because of it.

That story and video, not intended for the faint of heart, can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z5SJK.

The earlier St. Louis incident involved a White boy in search of a seat on the bus who was furiously beaten by a Black boy for that impertinence. Fortunately, with no thanks to the school bus driver, the unidentified White boy wasn’t murdered and his assailants were later arrested.

That incident was first cited as a hate crime but after police authorities reviewed the tape, and consulted with their superiors, that charge was dropped in favor of simple assault and a charge of bullying.

I really doubt that assault would be described as mere bullying by the assaulted, especially during his vicious pummeling, but on reconsideration of his survival probabilities had he pushed for hate crime charges, he didn’t push.

That story and video can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/1mPFSo.

The chief parallels between those 2 stories are senseless violence and that subject which has been relegated to non-PC status, Black crime in America.

Not too many years ago, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports Program, UCR, broke down crime stats according to race. That ended even before the logical, reasonable practice of racial profiling was technically banned because pressure groups protested against the stats and profiling.

And a law enforcement deterrent logic was flushed.

Bill Cosby is one Black who has spoken out against the rampant violence in Black communities thoughout America. . . .

Reflections on Polanski, Bubba, and Schultz

Reflections on Polanski, Bubba, and Schultz

Three separate tales of disillusionment:

Polanski Finally Arrested; Frogs, Poles and Lefties Lament:

Poor Roman Polanski, the aging Hollywood darling who for good reason hasn’t visited the Left Coast in decades, is the object of major angst and indignant protests in Poland, France, and of course, Hollywood.

His Hollywood buddies, accustomed as they are to weirdos, are also defending Polanski as one of their own.

The old lecher was arrested in Switzerland when his ego got the better of him and he ignored warnings not to go there since he was scheduled to get an award in Zurich.

Who would think that, after he had hidden out in France for decades and after admitting he drugged and raped a little girl in 1977, that a renouned Academy Award winner would be arrested?

Does an Oscar count for nothing nowadays?

The international protests are punctuated by reminders that the guy is 76 years old so why the big hulabaloo now? His victim, now 45, long ago forgave him for violating her and wants the whole matter dropped.

That Samantha Geimer sued the director and was paid off to keep her mouth shut about her rape is totally inconsequential.

Of far more consequence is the testimony by Polanski’s then main squeeze, Anjelica Huston, that the kid was “sullen.”

Using the she-had-it-coming-to-her defense, Huston testified that Samantha, “appeared to be one of those kind of little chicks between–could be any age up to 25. She did not look like a 13-year-old scared little thing:” http://bit.ly/1bABo.

Of no import is the fact that at least 90% of 13 year old American girls are “sullen” at one point or another and strive to look older, but 25? Anjelica’s perceptions may have been clouded by her affections for Roman and/or by overly imbibing in adult beverages.

Since Anjelica was at the scene of the crime and able to size up Samantha, the question is whether she condoned the rape since the kid was sullen and looked older than 13.

I can sort of understand that facet of the case but I can’t fully understand the consternation in both France and Poland.

France tends to swoon over anyone who signs up for citizenship, even unrepentant reprobates. When its new citizen is Roman Polanski, French authorities get positively livid and would defend him to the death, except, of course, against German invaders.

In Poland’s case, though, advocating for Polanski is much more of a sticky wicket.

Roman Polanski is often referred to as a Polish movie director. In point of fact, Polanski is as Polish as Regis Philbin.

The Jewish-born Roman “Romek” Liebling emigrated to France as a child just before WWII. One would think that being saved from almost certain extinction in the Holocaust would have inspired him to exult in his salvation and turn out films reflecting that exultation.

Instead, Roman Polanski directed Rosemary’s Baby and raped a 13 year old child.

Yet the Poles are up in arms over his arrest so many years after the act, supporting their famous “native son” since there aren’t an awful lot of famous “Polish” movie directors.

The Polish people would be better served by a government more interested in improving their lives and their economy than by a government involved in misplaced hero worship.

Polanski and the planet would be best served if he spent his remaining years in prison.

Bubba Resurrects an Old Canard:

Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. We can understand your envy over the bride’s basking in the limelight but maybe you could exercise some discretion and allow Hillary her moments in the sun?

When you dredge up Hillary’s bizarre “vast right wing conspiracy” theory, you make Americans think you’re either irredeemably mired in your guilt over Monica or that you’ve totally lost your mind.

You may recall that your loving wife invoked that theory way back in 1998 when it was already old; she used it to defend you against charges you were using the Oval Office as a virtual Oral Orifice bordello.

Work on getting some new lines, Billy Boy, instead of rehashing old tripe. . .

Ominous Handwriting on America's Wall

Ominous Handwriting on America's Wall

I suspect that I’m either totally nuts or a prophet in my own land. Either way, we all know that such prophets are usually consigned to the loony bin.

Cassandra, the hot daughter of Troy’s Priam and Hecuba, was no exception. She angered Apollo by rejecting his lusty advances so, in a fit, after giving her the gift of prophecy, he cursed her with the bane of prophecy without acceptance.

In other words, she would be able to see the future vividly; at the same time, her fellow Trojans would deem her a fruitcake and view her prophecies as lunacies. Then came the Trojan Horse which she anticipated and the rest is history.

I’m neither hot nor female nor endowed with special Appolonian or God-given gifts. I just think that America’s future is so obvious that only idiots and Democrats, if that’s not redundant, can’t see it.

Or, to be somewhat gracious, they refuse to accept it.

As preface to those contentions, please see “Is Drudge Hinting Another 9/11 Is Imminent?” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1239.

Although one day does not a trend make, in that article I referenced a slew of single-day headlines on DrudgeReport.com which, taken cumulatively, suggest the United States of America is under attack by Islamic terrorists even if those attacks had been thwarted.

(More difficult to thwart may be attacks from “within,” people and forces which will remain unidentified since identification here would provoke rabid charges of vile prejudice. In any event, it doesn’t require deep insight to discover what they share in common.)

Like cockroaches and other vermin, if jihadists are rooted out in a few venues, it’s as certain as God created maggots that probably many more are still luking in their ratholes.

If nothing else, terrorists are a patient and determined lot as evidenced by the years of planning leading up to September 11th, 2001.

In the “Is Drudge . . .” article, I also pointed out some of the profusion of contemporaneous evidence of social, political, and international events which signify growing sea changes in the philosophical thinking throughout America and the rest of Western civilization.

I barely scratched the surface in that regard.

So, what’s it all mean? Specifically and conclusively, it’s impossible to say.

Generally, it’s not a good thing.

That is, unless one accepts the disturbed notion that abandoning American and Western European touchstone values and traditions developed over centuries should be discarded, from national independence to accepted moral understandings of the value of human life, to de-valuing cherished principles, is a good thing.

Nations, societies, and peoples naturally evolve over time. If not, they fail to thrive and fail to survive. History has shown, repeatedly, that when nations, societies, and peoples evolve into amoral, subservient, and weak entities they also perish.

Cassandra’s Troy, Hellenic Greece, the Byzantine Empire, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire and almost all great civilizations . . .

Kevin Jennings: Safe Schools???

What if, say, Karl Rove a year ago got up at a gay pride event and said something akin to, “Queers should all just drop dead,” and added just for effect, “F**k them all!”

Aside from the fact many homosexuals would be positively thrilled at the latter prospect, few would be enamored of the former. Then again, some of them may wish for the former as well, those with a death wish as a consequence of their regretted lifestyle.

In any event, neither Rove nor anyone else associated with GWB would have spoken such words. If Rove or any other Bush-ite had dared even think such dastardly thoughts, they would have been found out and crucified upon the media cross of political correctness.

In the case of Kevin Jennings, Obama’s appointed “Safe Schools Czar,” officially, Assistant Deputy Secretary at the Department of Education for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS), he’s a whole other thing.

He can do and be and say anything he damned well pleases with not a peep out of the gay-friendly mainstream media crowd.

He may also have a death wish or, worse, a wish for millions of American kids to join him in his quest for damnation in his death spiral.

Unofficially, Jennings is another Obamian avowed homosexual appointee committed to advocating the spread of gay thinking and gay life in the nation’s schools, as sick and perverted as that thinking and life are.

He gets a free ride.

What Jennings’, a former teacher, concept of a safe school or even of the nature of civil discourse is eludes me given his background of articulated bile and outright, spoken hatred of all things decent.

Did I mention he’s homosexual?

One has to wonder just whom is being made safe by this safe schools czar. It may be the gay kids he sees as born in his own image but he sure isn’t planning to protect the mass of heterosexual kids under his domain.

Jennings is on record as having said what Karl Rove dared not say, in a church, no less, and to laughter, no less: ”We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. We also have to quit–I’m trying to find a way to say this. I’m trying not to say, ‘[F—] ‘em!’ which is what I want to say, because I don’t care what they think! [audience laughter] Drop dead!” (http://bit.ly/OZZUO)

(Incidentally, he didn’t use brackets in his 2002 speech.)

He has “advocated promoting homosexuality in schools, written about his past drug abuse, expressed his contempt for religion and detailed an incident in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men:” http://bit.ly/1aghzO

So?

Jennings in his role as a Massachusetts teacher and model to his students would think nothing of older pervs buggering young boys, so why report it, and why put it on his resume’?

Let’s review parts of the rest of that resume’ which so impressed Obama that he would appoint Jennings to be, in effect, the safety director of the nation’s public schools.

Part of the job description is battling the drug infestation in schools but his only qualification in that regard is being a former druggie so one would think he must possess other “assets.”

Is Drudge Hinting Another 9/11 Is Imminent?

Is Drudge Hinting Another 9/11 Is Imminent?

“Imminent” can mean all sorts of things, like in the next few minutes, the next hour, the next day, next week but it always means pretty damned soon.

With this president’s abject and repetitive demonstrations of weakness, servitude, and remorse for America’s history, could another, or far worse, 9/11 be in the relatively immediate offing?

No one would dare attack a confident, powerful, and united nation.

Knowing that retribution would be timid or non-existent, even the most cowardly, most inept, and weakest of enemies would be encouraged to assault a country in disarray, confusion, and under domestic assault.

Such chaos furnishes an added dollop of motivation to extra-national terrorists, especially jihadists inspired by Allah.

Before terrorism in America devolved into an insignificant issue under the Obama administration, we used to hear about color-coded warning levels and “chatter,” i.e., heightened activity among potential Islamic enemies detected by elements of our national security agencies.

No more.

Instead today we hear not chatter but of overt activity, not through government channels but rather from independent news agencies such as DrudgeReport.com.

Consider just one day’s worth of headlines on Drudge: . . .
