Who Are the Racists?
By Walter E.Williams November 27, 2019
Former presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said that racism in America is "foundational" and that people of color were under "mortal threat" from the "white supremacist in the White House." Pete Buttigieg chimed in to explain that "systemic racism" will "be with us" no matter who is in the White House. Senator Cory Booker called for "attacking systemic racism" in the "racially biased" criminal justice system.
Let's follow up by examining Booker's concern about a "racially biased" criminal justice system. To do that, we can turn to a recent article by Heather Mac Donald, who is a senior fellow at the New York-based Manhattan Institute. She is a contributing editor of City Journal, and a New York Times bestselling author. Her most recent article, "A Platform of Urban Decline," which appeared in Manhattan Institute's publication Eye On The News, addresses race and crime. She reveals government statistics you've never read before.
According to leftist rhetoric, whites pose a severe, if not mortal, threat to blacks. Mac Donald says that may have once been true, but it is no longer so today. To make her case, she uses the latest Bureau of Justice Statistics 2018 survey of criminal victimization. Mac Donald writes: "According to the study, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between blacks and whites last year, including white-on-black and black-on-white attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent. That ratio is becoming more skewed, despite the Democratic claim of Trump-inspired white violence. In 2012-13, blacks committed 85 percent of all interracial victimizations between blacks and whites; whites committed 15 percent. From 2015 to 2018, the total number of white victims and the incidence of white victimization have grown as well."
There are other stark figures not talked about often. According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting for 2018, of the homicide victims for whom race was known, 53.3% were black, 43.8% were white and 2.8% were of other races. In cases where the race of the offender was known, 54.9% were black, 42.4% were white, and 2.7% were of other races.
White and black liberals, who claim that blacks face a "mortal threat" from the "white supremacist in the White House" are perpetuating a cruel hoax. The primary victims of that hoax are black people. We face the difficult, and sometimes embarrassing, task of confronting reality.
Mac Donald says that Barack Obama's 2008 Father's Day speech in Chicago would be seen today as an "unforgivable outburst of white supremacy." Here's what Obama told his predominantly black audience in a South Side church: "If we are honest with ourselves," too many fathers are "missing — missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men." Then-Senator Obama went on to say, "Children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison."
White liberals deem that any speaker's references to personal responsibility brands the speaker as bigoted. Black people cannot afford to buy into the white liberal agenda. White liberals don't pay the same price. They don't live in neighborhoods where their children can get shot simply sitting on their porches. White liberals don't go to bed with the sounds of gunshots. White liberals don't live in neighborhoods that have become economic wastelands. Their children don't attend violent schools where they have to enter through metal detectors. White liberals help the Democratic Party maintain political control over cities, where many black residents live in despair, such as Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago.
Black people cannot afford to remain fodder for the liberal agenda. With that in mind, we should not be a one-party people in a two-party system.

What white liberals have done to the black family in this country is inhumane and cruel. The situation is even more cruel when the white rats inflame the racial fighting. It only divides the country and hurts all Americans. White rats clearly don't care about anything other than their power over all of us little people. They certainly don't like black people. If you don't believe me, just watch next time a AA leaves the liberal plantation. Just notice how they are vilified and treated horribly.
Of course not. You’re more into a quick ad hominem
And the data used to support the criminal system is lame too. There are some policies, such as the different penalties for cocaine versus crack, that are racially influenced. There is still some deep seated racism in this country that has had a more vocal voice the last few years.
Then as far as the last paragraph about where white liberals live. You guys have been telling me for years that the poor people are the liberals. Now you are telling me that no white Liberals live in the ghetto?
I didn't respond because I thought this was a troll job. HTH
You also missed the point of the statement.
You don’t even know who Williams is.
That’s our Hondo. Predictable, but never disappoints.
Which discussion do you disagree with what I said Mike? Do you think the there isn't still deep seated racism in this country? Do you think some policies like I mentioned on drugs are not racially influenced?
Help me out Mike and explain what you disagree with about my comment.
Whenever Hondo has nothing it's because the statements were "taken out of context" but for some odd reason Hondo is never able to provide the "context" from which they were taken out of.

You're absolutely right Hondo, the Congressional Black Caucus called for enhanced penalties for crack because of what it was doing to the black community in the late 80s and early 90s. Funny how you leave out that "context."
There is still some deep seated racism in this country that has had a more vocal voice the last few years.
Of course Hondo provides zero evidence in support of this statement which comes entirely from his ass. He has no data or facts in support of this, he just feels it's true because that's what he news sources have told him.
And what would a Hondo post be with out strawman ass fuck.
A few minutes into the conversation....
Coach James: How is the book doing? (Bow Down to Willingham)
Me: It's doing so-so. Sales are disappointing. It's being ignored by many in the media. Bob Condotta refuses to acknowledge it in writing, Elise Woodward won't return my calls. Dori Monson doesn't want to have me on. People on Dawgman are calling me racist.
Coach James: People are calling you racist?
Me: That is correct.
Coach James: If it's any consolation, I liked the book.
Me: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Coach James: If the book is defending many black players, how can you be racist?
Good gravy man you are a flaming idiot.
1. Pander to non-whites at election time.
2. Tax and throw other people's money at the problems in the non-white community.
3. Let money get wasted and problems grow worse.
4. Next election, blame opposition for failed programs and millions wasted.
5. Rinse and Repeat.
