		<description><![CDATA[Some astounding numbers regarding interracial crime in America.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/sharpton1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239041" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/sharpton1-437x350.jpg" alt="The Rev. Al Sharpton-  Washington, DC" width="295" height="236" /></a>Perhaps it&#8217;s time to finally concede that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and their fellow civil-rights crusaders have apparently been correct all along: <em>There is indeed a whole lot of racism in America</em> that just won&#8217;t go away. It may be time to admit that Sharpton is justified in so passionately condemning the recent police “execution” of Michael Brown in Missouri—calling it a “<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/al-sharpton-on-ferguson-protests">defining moment</a>” for our country, a moment where the nation itself, with all its weighty, racist baggage, “is on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/al-sharpton-on-ferguson-protests">trial</a>.”</p>
<p>The numbers, after all, don&#8217;t lie. During the most recent five-year period for which single-offender, interracial crime statistics are available, whites committed, on average, 65,923 assaults annually against black victims.[1] To frame it another way, 33.5 of every 100,000 whites in the U.S. assaulted a black victim at some point during each of those five years.</p>
<p>Oh, sure, the nitpickers will point out that during the same five-year period, blacks in the U.S. committed, on average, some 327,900 assaults annually against whites—meaning that about 898 of every 100,000 blacks nationwide assaulted a white victim at some point each year. In other words, statistically the average black was nearly 27 times more likely to assault a white, than vice versa—898 versus 33.5 (out of every 100,000).</p>
<p>But <em>therein</em> is the heart of the problem, though you may have missed it: The white-on-black assault rate may be low, but it isn&#8217;t absolute zero. And as our modern-day civil rights leaders dutifully teach us, anything more than zero means, ultimately, that &#8220;we still have a long way to go&#8221; before we can finally get past our country&#8217;s &#8220;troubled racial past.&#8221; Any white-on-black incident—however rare it may be—automatically becomes the exception that proves the rule. Get it?</p>
<p>We find similar bountiful evidence of white racism in other statistics as well. During the same five-year period, whites committed, on average, 2,738 robberies annually against black victims. In other words, about 1.4 out of every 100,000 whites in the U.S. robbed a black victim each year.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, 70,302 blacks annually robbed white victims—a rate of 192.4 per 100,000. Statistically the average black was 137 times more likely to rob interracially than the average white—192.4 versus 1.4 (out of every 100,000).[2]</p>
<p>Once again, we must bear in mind that any white-on-black crime total exceeding zero means that the hearts of too many whites still percolate with secret, racist longings to return to &#8220;the good-ol&#8217; days&#8221; of lynchings and Jim Crow. Make sense?</p>
<p>But if you really want your blood to boil, consider the stats on interracial sex crimes. During the same five-year period, black offenders were responsible for about 22,980 actual and threatened sexual assaults annually against white victims. By contrast, the number of white-on-black incidents of the same description were so infinitesimal that, in each of those five years, whites were estimated to have accounted for 0.0% of all sexual assaults—actual or threatened—against black victims in the United States.</p>
<p>Such a statistic, of course, runs the dangerous risk of persuading shallow thinkers to wrongly conclude that maybe America&#8217;s streets and alleyways <em>aren&#8217;t</em> filled with hordes of white racists poised to abuse black women whenever they get an opportunity. But thankfully, we have <em>deep</em> thinkers and keen-eyed social critics like Al Sharpton to shine the light of truth on white sex offenders, even where a white-dominated criminal-justice apparatus turns a blind eye.</p>
<p>Remember, for instance, how Sharpton helped us all become aware of Tawana Brawley&#8217;s brutal gang-rape at the hands of white supremacists in 1987? Oh sure, the nitpickers again will moan that the whole thing was one big lie. But don&#8217;t ever forget: The only thing that prevented young Tawana from actually being raped by a pack of Klansmen was the fact that … well, no one raped her or even attempted to. But apart from that, everything Sharpton said about the case was true.</p>
<p>We must also thank Mr. Sharpton for having alerted us all to the horrors of the “rich white boys” on the Duke University lacrosse team who gang-raped a black stripper in 2006. Sure, it turned out to be another hoax that dragged several innocent young men through a cesspool of pain and public humiliation—but hey, the noble quest for racial justice is bound to spit out a few collateral victims every now and then. No omelet can be made without breaking an egg or two.</p>
<p>Murder stats likewise bring into stark relief the white racism that continues to infest our nation. In 2012, for example, <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_1_murder_victims_by_race_and_sex_2012.xls">6,454</a> blacks in the U.S. were victims of homicide. Some <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_6_murder_race_and_sex_of_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2012.xls">91%</a> of those were killed by other blacks, and 9% were killed by everybody else, including whites. It&#8217;s unlikely that whites were responsible for any more than about 3% of all black deaths by homicide. But these were the most significant and troubling 3%, don&#8217;t ya know? The other 97% of victims can all rot in their graves, but these—ah, these—were the cream of the crop, just like Michael Brown.</p>
<p>In light of the numbers cited above, perhaps you can find it in your heart to be sympathetic to Al, Jesse, and similar proverbial skunks who are forever seeking out the next picnic where they can show up and spray the potato salad. They have to make the most of Ferguson, you see, because golden opportunities like that just don&#8217;t come around very often.</p>
<p><strong>FOOTNOTES:</strong></p>
<p>[1] All statistics are from <em>Criminal Victimization in the United States</em>, published annually by the Department of Justice Statistics.</p>
<p>[2] These assault and robbery statistics do not necessarily prove that black offenders are specifically targeting white victims. One reason why the multiples are so high (27:1 and 137:1) is because there are 5.4 times as many whites as blacks in the U.S. In other words, blacks, in course of their daily travels, are 5.4 times more likely to encounter whites—and thus, potential white vicims—than to encounter other blacks (and potential black victims). To correct for this difference in the respective sizes of America&#8217;s white and black populations, we must divide each of the multiples by 5.4. In the case of assaults, the 27:1 ratio becomes 5:1, meaning that the average black offender is 5 times more likely to <em>choose</em> a white victim, than a white offender is likely to choose a black victim. And in the case of robbery, the 137:1 ratio becomes 25.4:1, meaning that the average black offender is 25.4 times more likely to <em>choose</em> a white victim, than a white offender is likely to choose a black victim.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/carrtrial.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-199146" alt="carrtrial" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/carrtrial.jpg" width="300" height="250" /></a><strong>[To order David Horowitz and John Perrazo&#8217;s <em>Black Skin Privilege</em>, <a href="https://secure.donationreport.com/productlist.html?key=KD25VC00LEHE">click here</a>.]</strong></p>
<p>If the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case demonstrated anything, it is the gross, and grotesque, double standards in race relations that exist in America.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, I published a piece at <i>Front Page Magazine</i>, “Paula Deen and the Fundamental Transformation of America,” in which I relayed the unimaginably brutal fate that a young white couple, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, met six years ago in Knoxville, Tennessee at the hands of four black men and one black woman.  I noted that the usual suspects in the Racism-Industrial-Complex who demanded Deen’s head on a platter for having used a notorious racial epithet some 30 years ago or so have been utterly silent with respect to this atrocity.</p>
<p>There is, though, another scandalously underreported instance of black-on-white cruelty that, with shocking clarity, illustrates the hypocrisy and cowardice of contemporary racial discourse.  It occurred in Wichita, Kansas 13 years ago.  It is with good reason that it has since been dubbed “the Wichita Massacre” or “the Wichita Horror.”</p>
<p>On December 14, 2000, two black brothers, Reginald and Jonathan Carr broke into the home of three white men, Jason Befort, Bradley Heyka, and Aaron Sandler.  Also at the home were two white women, Heather Muller and a woman who, for the purpose of her own privacy and protection, is now known only as “H.G.” The latter is the sole survivor of the evil to which the Carr brothers subjected her and her friends.</p>
<p>Over a span of hours, the brothers Carr forced their victims to get naked and have sex with one another. According to an <i>Accuracy in Media </i>report, when Sander “failed to perform” sexually, he “was beaten with a golf club [.]”</p>
<p>Yet the Carrs also forced the two women to have sex <i>with them. </i>Repeatedly, Muller and H.G. were raped, both vaginally and orally.</p>
<p>The rapes, though, were interspersed with multiple robberies. At different times, Reginald Carr drove Heyka, Befort, and H.G., individually, to the bank where they were made to use their ATM cards to withdraw funds. The temperature that evening was at least 15 degrees below freezing, and yet the Carrs permitted H.G. to wear nothing but a sweater during her excursion to the bank.</p>
<p>But it wasn’t only the bank accounts of their victims that the Carr brothers depleted.  According to the <i>AIM </i>report, the Carrs “ransacked the house looking for money and valuables.” Sadly, they “found the engagement ring that Befort had planned to give H.G. a week later.”</p>
<p>At around 2 A.M. the Carrs took their captives—three of whom had been stuffed into the trunk of Sander’s Honda Accord—to a deserted field covered in snow. The men were stark naked while the women wore nothing other than a shirt.  All five were made to kneel down. The Carrs then shot each one of them, execution-style, in the backs of their heads. Then, they rode over the bodies in one of the vehicles that they stole before leaving their victims to rot.</p>
<p>The Carrs failed to realize that not all of their prey had died.  <i>AIM </i>states that H.G. took off her sweater to stop Jason Befort’s bleeding. “Blood was squirting everywhere,” she later testified in court.  It was even “coming out of his eyes.” Naked, raped, shot and left for dead, H.G. walked <i>one mile</i> to a home where she implored strangers to help. Most tellingly, she would not let them call 911 until after she had told them all that happened that night.  Thinking that she too would die, H.G. wanted to make sure that her grisly story was known. <i>AIM </i>reports that “the couple listened in amazement at her courage and determination.”</p>
<p>H.G. is indeed courageous and determined. Thanks to her virtues the Carr brothers were convicted and sentenced to death (though, unfortunately, they haven’t yet been executed).</p>
<p>Had H.G. been black and her attackers been white, there isn’t anyone in America who wouldn’t know her name.  More than one <i>Lifetime </i>movie would’ve been made about her and her friends.  Oprah Winfrey would have interviewed her several times over.  Along with that of Heather Muller, her name would already be in the annals of “Women’s History.” She would be a feminist icon.  The President, and most certainly the First Lady, would have given speeches singing her praises and reminding Americans that “racism” is still very much alive, etc.</p>
<p>And the Carr brothers (deservingly) would be the most vilified men in the country.</p>
<p>But H.G. and her four late friends were white and their assailants black.  Thus, if they were ever noticed at all, they have long since been forgotten.</p>
<p>In the spirit of that “honest discussion of race” that Eric Holder claims to want, we should acquaint and reacquaint ourselves with them.</p>
<p>While we’re at it, it is high time that we decry the outrageous racial double-standards on which the Racism-Industrial-Complex feeds.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[(Get real, we are not liberals.)]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tray1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-196277" alt="tray" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tray1-450x252.jpg" width="315" height="176" /></a>There has been a large backlash against the article I wrote a few days ago on Trayvon Martin (“<a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/david-horowitz/is-the-zimmerman-case-really-open-and-shut/">Is the Zimmerman Case Really Open and Shut?</a>”) and also against Arnold Ahlert’s piece in today’s Frontpage (“<a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/framing-trayvon/">Framing Trayvon</a>”). About 95% of the comments, maybe more, have attacked the writers of the pieces and in the process disregarded the point both articles were trying to make that like Zimmerman, Trayvon has been turned into a political symbol and the person behind the mask has been lost. The adverse reaction has also served to confirm that a large segment of the conservative community is arguing not only that Zimmerman is innocent of the charge against him, with which Frontpage has no quarrel, but also that Trayvon Martin was a young black thug who deserved to die.</p>
<p>Let me begin by acknowledging that we made some mistakes in framing our pieces, and that I in particular did. Most importantly I should not have given the impression as my title and some of my statements did that I was writing about the legal case and what the verdict should be. Many of the points that were critical of my article referred to the malicious prosecution of Zimmerman and the points of the law that supported Zimmerman’s right to defend himself. These were correct, and on some of those points I stand corrected. I have no disagreement with any of them. I am not a liberal gun controller (as I have been accused of being). I just think it’s a bad idea to arm Neighborhood Watch guards who are not trained as policemen.<b> </b></p>
<p>What I was writing about – what was important in my view – was that however much Trayvon may have been responsible for the fight that resulted in his death, his portrayal in conservative quarters as a vicious thug are wrong and unjust. In fact he appears to have been a decent teenager with an ambition to go to college and become a pilot. whatever minor trouble he may have gotten into is not too difficult to understand as a child of divorce and growing up in the poisoned racial atmosphere the left has created.</p>
<p>For making this point, which was designed to stimulate some internal second thoughts among conservatives and that shouldn’t have ruffled so many feathers, I have been subjected to a rash of personal attacks. One of them by Debbie Schlussel is quite malicious, even lunatic, and replete with made up “facts” about what I have said and done. Even more puzzling is that all of the attacks seem to be oblivious of the fact that Frontpage generally and I personally have for more than a decade been on the forefront of those opposing the racial arsonists of the left and the civil rights racists whom I have described as a lynch mob with a cracker mentality.</p>
<p>Only two weeks ago I co-authored a piece with John Perazzo on Paula Deen, titled “<a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/david-horowitz-and-john-perazzo/the-progressive-lynch-mob-claims-another-victim/">The Progressive Lynch Mob Claims Another Victim</a>,” (June 26). Just a day before the piece on the Martin-Zimmerman case, Frontpage reposted <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/frontpagemag-com/the-zimmerman-trial-and-black-skin-privilege/">an excerpt</a> from the pamphlet I wrote with Perazzo this spring called “<a href="https://secure.donationreport.com/productlist.html?key=KD25VC00LEHE">Black Skin Privilege</a>” which is about the racism of the civil rights left, the free pass that black racists and black criminals get, the unreported epidemic of black crime, the racial preferences that blacks receive, and &#8212; the injustice of the attacks on George Zimmerman. I don’t believe anyone else among conservatives or commentators generally has had the temerity to use the phrase “black skin privilege” although that is an accurate description of what thirty plus years of racial intimidation by the left has achieved.</p>
<p>Given these facts I was unprepared for the heat of the attacks directed at me personally, or for the obliviousness of my conservative critics to the contributions I have made in resisting the racial assault on our country by the political left. I wrote the Trayvon article (and commissioned the Ahlert piece) because I thought it was important that conservatives <i>not</i> develop a mob mentality of their own, and second that conservatives remember that there are more than 30 million black Americans the majority of whom are not criminals and who are 95% the victims of black crimes and who need to hear the conservative message. After all, the cities where black crime is rampant and black poverty epidemic are cities like Chicago, Detroit and Washington DC, which are controlled Democrats and progressives, and have been for more than fifty years.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The sadistic torturers of black political prisoners roll out the red carpet for pop culture icons.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/humberto-fontova/beyonce-and-jay-z-bankroll-castros-racist-tyranny/cuba-people-beyonce/" rel="attachment wp-att-184713"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-184713" title="Cuba People Beyonce" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/beyonce_jayz_cuba_ap_605-450x296.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="178" /></a>Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana last week as official guests of a regime busily beating and arresting black civil rights activists known as the <a href="http://www.capitolhillcubans.com/2013/04/must-watch-what-beyonce-and-kathy.html">“Rosa Parks Civil Rights Movement.”</a></p>
<p>Indeed the Stalinist/Apartheid regime hosting the superstar couple murdered more political prisoners per capita in its first three years in power than Hitler&#8217;s murdered in its first six. It jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s during the Great Terror. Among these victims were (are) the longest-suffering black political prisoners in modern history of the human race.</p>
<p>In fact, the superstar black couple’s visit coincided with a wave of racist repression by Cuba’s lily-white rulers. Cuba’s black human-rights activists are being beaten, arrested and tortured at a rate that sets a <a href="http://www.capitolhillcubans.com/2013/03/10-years-after-black-spring-repression.html">ten-year record</a> for racist torture and terror in the Castro family fiefdom, which is really saying something.</p>
<p>Heartbreakingly, as mentioned above, many of these Cuban human-rights activists admire the U.S. civil rights movement, unaware that the current standard-bearers of this movement—far from championing their cause—actually champion their torturers:</p>
<p>“Viva FIDEL!—VIVA CHE!” yelled Jesse Jackson while arm-in-arm with Fidel Castro at the University of Havana in 1984.</p>
<p>&#8220;He [Raul Castro] is one of the most amazing human beings I&#8217;ve ever met!&#8221; gushed chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Emanuel Cleaver upon visiting the Castro family fiefdom three years ago. And on and on.</p>
<p>As Beyonce and Jay-Z lived it up around Havana, every penny they spent lands in the pocket of the regime currently beating and arresting Cuban blacks peacefully protesting under the banner of the civil rights leaders the U.S. superstars claim to venerate. Cuban dissident Sonia Garro has spent the past two <a href="http://www.capitolhillcubans.com/2013/03/wsj-on-sonia-garro-two-easters-in.html">Easters in Castro’s dungeons</a> without even being charged. She was beaten, arrested&#8211; and beaten again&#8211; for the crime of carrying flowers in a peaceful religious demonstration honoring other peaceful Cuban blacks murdered by Castroite firing squads.</p>
<p>Not far from the Havana vacation haunts of Beyonce and her <a href="http://babalublog.com/2013/04/04/beyonce-and-jay-z-celebrate-5th-wedding-anniv-in-havana-but-u-s-tourism-to-cuba-is-illegal-keep-repeating-it/">(Che-Guevara worshipping)</a> husband Jay-Z, black political prisoners languish in KGB-designed dungeons for such crimes as publicly quoting the works of Martin Luther King Jr. and the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. Among these prisoners is Dr. Elias Biscet, an Amnesty International prisoner of conscience who was awarded (obviously in absentia) the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush in 2008.</p>
<p>“The negro,” sneered Jay-Z’s t-shirt idol Che Guevara, “is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized <a href="http://www.hfontova.com/che.html">and intelligent.”</a></p>
<p>Many Cuban blacks suffered longer incarceration in Castro and Che’s dungeons and torture chambers than Nelson Mandela suffered in South Africa&#8217;s. In fact, Castro’s victims qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history. Eusebio Penalver, Ignacio Cuesta Valle, Antonio Lopez Munoz, Ricardo Valdes Cancio, and many other Cuban blacks suffered almost thirty years in Castro&#8217;s prisons. These men were bloodied in their fight against Beyonce’s hosts but remained unbowed for almost thirty years in their dungeons and torture chambers.</p>
<p>But have you ever heard any of their names mentioned by the U.S. media?  Eusebio Penalver became a U.S. citizen and lived in Miami for almost 20 years. He would have been a cinch for the media to track down. Ever see a CNN interview with any of them? Ever see any of them on &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221;? Ever read about them in The New York Times?  The Boston Globe? Ever hear about them on NPR during Black History Month? Ever seen anything on them on the History Channel or A&amp;E? Ever hear the NAACP or Congressional Black Caucus mention them?</p>
<p>Why do I bother asking? They were (are) victims of the Left&#8217;s premier pin-up boys.</p>
<p>Almost exactly three years ago the Castroites murdered black human rights activist Orlando Zapata-Tamayo. This black Cuban had endured an 83-day hunger strike seeking (vainly, as usual) to alert the world to the Castro regime&#8217;s cowardly Stalinism and racism. Finally, a series of savage beatings by his Communist jailers finished him off. Naturally, the U.S. media was no more revelatory of his death than they&#8217;d been of his jailing or hunger strike.</p>
<p>Samizdats, smuggled out of Cuba by eye-witnesses, report that while gleefully kicking and bludgeoning Tamayo, his Castroite jailers yelled, &#8220;Worthless ni**er!&#8221; Dirty worthless ni**r!</p>
<p>Just last month black activist Roberto Rivalta Junco <a href="http://babalublog.com/2013/04/04/cuba-the-heartbreaking-denouncement-by-the-mother-of-murdered-prisoner-roberto-antonio-rivalta-junco/">died from maltreatment</a> in Castro’s dungeons. Did the media inform you of any of this racist repression on our very borders? And yet Cuba hosts media bureaus from CNN to ABC and from the AP to NBC. Sure seems that these media outlets reported exhaustively on racist repression when it took place 8 thousand miles away (Apartheid South Africa).</p>
<p>Today, the prison population in Stalinist/Apartheid Cuba is about 80% black, while only 9% of the ruling Stalinist party is black. Many of a certain age well remember many of Beyonce’s musician predecessors mounting a campaign called &#8220;Artists United Against Apartheid,&#8221; aimed at boycotting South Africa, reviling any musicians who played there, and showcasing the human rights abuses suffered by South African blacks.</p>
<p>Should we hold our breath for the same bunch to organize &#8220;Artists United Against Castro-Stalinism&#8221;?</p>
<p>As I write Cuba’s racist/Stalinist rulers are enjoying a record windfall of almost $3 <em>billion </em>from tourism. This gravy-train arrives courtesy of a deluge of tourists <em>ten times</em> the number as visited Cuba during the 1950s when she was a “tourist playground.” Sure, you remember. After all, you probably saw it in liberals’ top educational source on Cuba: The Godfather II.</p>
<p>Result of this tourist windfall? A fat, rich and happy Stalinist regime; accompanied by a twenty-year high in repression against the Cuban people. Castro’s military, you see, mostly owns Cuba’s tourist industry in majority partnership with some European robber-barons. Did the media inform you that many of Cuban hotels currently crammed to suffocation with tourists were stolen at Soviet gunpoint form Cuban and American owners and stockholders in 1960? And that they’re being run by European and Castroite millionaires who laugh in the face of the fleeced and rightful owners? Didn’t think so.</p>
<p>Did the media inform you that this armed robbery (totaling $7 billion in current dollars) followed by fifty years of snickering and flinger-flipping by the thieves at the legal owners features in the U.S. sanctions known as the Cuba “embargo?” Didn’t think so.</p>
<p>Every shred of observable evidence proves that travel to Cuba enriches and entrenches the KGB-trained and heavily-armed owners of Cuba’s tourism industry, and thus the most highly motivated guardians of Cuba’s Stalinist status-quo.</p>
<p>Oh, I know. I know in all the libertarian, liberal and think-tank computer models regarding ending the Cuba “embargo” it plays out differently. But observable facts are truly a b*tch, especially for academic eggheads and think-tank dogmatists.</p>
<p>Canadians make up a big plurality of the tourist partners (some of it for child-sex tourism) in Castroite repression. So Canada’s SunNews recently prompted a Frontpage columnist <a href="http://babalublog.com/2013/03/19/raving-hard-line-maniac-insults-canadians-and-canadian-gov-while-on-a-top-rated-canadian-tv-network/">to lower the boom on them.</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/walter-williams/minimum-wage-mandates-the-tools-of-racists-everywhere/bilde-6/" rel="attachment wp-att-180090"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-180090" title="bilde" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bilde-450x327.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="196" /></a>Let&#8217;s work through an example. Suppose 100 yards of fence could be built using one of two techniques. You could hire three low-skilled workers for $15 each, or you could hire one high-skilled worker for $40. Either way, you get the same 100 yards of fence built. If you sought maximum profits, which production technique would you employ? I&#8217;m guessing that you&#8217;d hire one high-skilled worker and pay him $40 rather than hire three low-skilled workers for $15 each. Your labor costs would be $40 rather than $45.</p>
<p>Suppose the high-skilled worker came into your office and demanded $55 a day. What would be your response? You&#8217;d probably tell him to go play in the traffic and hire the three low-skilled workers. After all, hiring the three low-skilled workers for $45, to get the same 100 yards of fence, would be cheaper than the $55 a day now demanded by the high-skilled worker.</p>
<p>The high-skilled worker is not stupid and knows that&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;d do. He will do a bit of organizing first, convincing decent, caring people that low-skilled workers are being exploited and not earning a living wage and that Congress should enact a minimum wage in the fencing industry of at least $20. After Congress enacts a minimum wage of $20, what then happens to the chances of a high-skilled worker&#8217;s successfully demanding $55 a day? They go up because he&#8217;s used the coercive powers of Congress to price his competition out of the market. Because of the minimum wage, it would cost you $60 to use the three low-skilled workers.</p>
<p>The minimum wage not only discriminates against low-skilled workers but also is one of the most effective tools of racists everywhere. Our nation&#8217;s first minimum wage came in the form of the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931. During the legislative debate over the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets minimum wages on federally financed or assisted construction projects, racist intents were obvious.</p>
<p>Rep. John Cochran, D-Mo., supported the bill, saying he had &#8220;received numerous complaints in recent months about Southern contractors employing low-paid colored mechanics getting work and bringing the employees from the South.&#8221; Rep. Miles Allgood, D-Ala., complained: &#8220;That contractor has cheap colored labor that he transports, and he puts them in cabins, and it is labor of that sort that is in competition with white labor throughout the country.&#8221; Rep. William Upshaw, D-Ga., spoke of the &#8220;superabundance or large aggregation of Negro labor.&#8221; American Federation of Labor President William Green said, &#8220;Colored labor is being sought to demoralize wage rates.&#8221; The Davis-Bacon Act, still on the books today, virtually eliminated blacks from federally financed construction projects when it was passed.</p>
<p>During South Africa&#8217;s apartheid era, the secretary of its avowedly racist Building Workers&#8217; Union, Gert Beetge, said, &#8220;There is no job reservation left in the building industry, and in the circumstances, I support the rate for the job (minimum wage) as the second-best way of protecting our white artisans.&#8221; The South African Nursing Council condemned low wages received by black nurses as unfair. Some nurses said they wouldn&#8217;t accept wage increases until the wages of black nurses were raised. The South African Economic and Wage Commission of 1925 reported that &#8220;while definite exclusion of the Natives from the more remunerative fields of employment by law has not been urged upon us, the same result would follow a certain use of the powers of the Wage Board under the Wage Act of 1925, or of other wage-fixing legislation. The method would be to fix a minimum rate for an occupation or craft so high that no Native would be likely to be employed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whether support for minimum wages is motivated by good or by evil, its effect is to cut off the bottom rungs of the economic ladder for the most disadvantaged worker and lower the cost of discrimination.</p>

Now that I&#8217;m safely home from my book tour, they feel free to jabber on about their make-believe history of the civil rights movement with abandon.</p>
<p>In the hackiest of all hacky articles, Sam Tanenhaus, the man responsible for ruining The New York Times Book Review, has written a cover story in The New Republic, titled: &#8220;Original Sin: Why the GOP is and will continue to be the party of white people.&#8221;</p>
<p>MSNBC has been howling this cliche for a decade &#8212; or, as MSNBC&#8217;s Chris Matthews said of Tanenhaus&#8217; article, &#8220;a bold headline&#8221;!</p>
<p>Being interviewed by a giddy Matthews &#8212; who has no black friends, employees or neighbors &#8212; Tanenhaus announced the startling fact that once, long ago, some Republicans supported civil rights!</p>
<p>&#8220;In the 1950s, as I say in the piece you read, Republicans looked pretty good on civil rights under Eisenhower. We had the Brown decision, the Central High in Little Rock, where he did the tough thing and sent the troops in, and we had the first modern civil rights act.&#8221;</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;tough&#8221; decision for Eisenhower to send troops to Little Rock in 1957.</p>
<p>In the presidential campaign the year before, the Republican platform had expressly endorsed the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The Democratic platform did not.</p>
<p>To the contrary, that year, 99 members of Congress signed the &#8220;Southern Manifesto&#8221; denouncing the court&#8217;s ruling in Brown. Two were Republicans. Ninety-seven were Democrats.</p>
<p>As president, Eisenhower pushed through the 1957 Civil Rights Act and the 1960 Civil Rights Act. He established the Civil Rights Commission. It was Eisenhower, not Truman, who fully desegregated the military.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Brown decision was being openly defied by the Democratic governor of Arkansas (and Bill Clinton pal), Orval Faubus, who refused to admit black students to Little Rock Central High School.</p>
<p>Liberals act as if Eisenhower&#8217;s sending federal troops to Little Rock was like Nixon going to China. No, it was like Nixon going to California.</p>
<p>Only someone who knows no history could proclaim, as Tanenhaus did, that the 1957 act &#8220;wasn&#8217;t great, it wasn&#8217;t what LBJ gave us, but it was something.&#8221;</p>
<p>If Eisenhower&#8217;s 1957 civil rights bill was weak, it was because of one man: Lyndon B. Johnson. As Robert Caro explains in his book, &#8220;Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson,&#8221; it was LBJ who stripped the bill of its enforcement provisions. Even after that, the bill was still opposed by 18 senators &#8212; all of them Democrats.</p>
<p>To the easily astounded Chris Matthews, Tanenhaus breathlessly remarked, &#8220;Not one Republican voted against that bill!&#8221; &#8212; as if the 1957 Civil Right Act was a Democratic idea and they were delighted to get any Republican support at all.</p>
<p>Imagine a modern German historian saying: &#8220;Remember &#8212; it wasn&#8217;t just Germans who opposed the Holocaust. The English and Americans did too!&#8221; Such a historian would be beaten bloody, quite rightly so.</p>
<p>The 1957 bill was sent to Congress by Eisenhower, passed with the intervention of Vice President Richard Nixon, and opposed exclusively by Democrats. Not &#8220;Southern Democrats,&#8221; not &#8220;conservative Democrats,&#8221; but Democrats, such as Wayne Morse of Oregon, Warren Magnuson of Washington, James Murray of Montana, Mike Mansfield of Montana and Joseph O&#8217;Mahoney of Wyoming.</p>
<p>With absolutely no evidence (because there is none), Tanenhaus then asserted that Republicans decided &#8220;they were not going to be pro-civil rights. &#8230; They were going to side with the Southern oppressors.&#8221; Cretin Matthews seconded this gibberish by saying Nixon was &#8220;playing the Southern Strategy electorally with Strom Thurmond and those boys.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who exactly does Matthews imagine he means by &#8220;Strom Thurmond and those boys&#8221;? Every single segregationist in the Senate was a Democrat. Only one of them ever became a Republican: Strom Thurmond.</p>
<p>The rest remained not only Democrats, but quite liberal Democrats. These included such liberal luminaries as Harry Byrd, Robert Byrd, Allen Ellender, Albert Gore Sr., J. William Fulbright, Walter F. George, Russell Long and Richard Russell.</p>
<p>Fulbright was Bill Clinton&#8217;s mentor. Gore was &#8220;Al Jazeera&#8221; Gore&#8217;s father. Sam Ervin headed Nixon&#8217;s impeachment committee. The segregationists who were in the Senate in the &#8217;50s were rabid Joe McCarthy opponents. In the &#8217;60s, they opposed the Vietnam War and supported LBJ&#8217;s Great Society programs. In the &#8217;90s, they got 100 percent ratings from NARAL Pro-Choice America.</p>
<p>These &#8220;Southern oppressors&#8221; were liberal Democrats when they were racists and remained liberal Democrats after they finally stopped being racists (in public). If Republicans had a racist &#8220;Southern strategy,&#8221; it didn&#8217;t work on the racists.</p>
<p>Nor did Nixon &#8212; or Reagan &#8212; ever win over segregationist voters. Republicans only began sweeping the South after the segregationists died.</p>
<p>Even as late as 1980, when Reagan won a 44-state landslide, the old segregationists were still voting Democrat. Although Reagan handily won Southern states that had been voting Republican since the &#8217;20s, he barely won &#8212; or lost &#8212; the Goldwater states.</p>
<p>According to numerous polls, Reagan swept Southern college students, while losing college students in the Northeast. Meanwhile, The Washington Post called the elderly &#8220;a bedrock of Carter&#8217;s southern base.&#8221;</p>
<p>As LBJ explained to fellow Democrats after doing a 180-flip on civil rights as president and pushing the 1964 Civil Rights Act (<a href="http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/research/online_documents/civil_rights_act/RNC_News_Release.pdf">which resembled the 1957 Civil Rights Act he had gutted as a senator</a>): &#8220;I&#8217;ll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.&#8221; That&#8217;s according to a steward on Air Force One, who overhead him say it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one thing to rewrite history to say the Holocaust was when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it&#8217;s another to say that the Holocaust was when Jews killed the Germans.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how liberals rewrite the history of civil rights in America. For the truth, get <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595230998/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1595230998&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=anncoulter-20">Mugged</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/walter-williams/cultural-deviancy-is-the-problem-not-guns/rappers-gun-violence-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-177479"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-177479" title="rappers-gun-violence-4" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rappers-gun-violence-4.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="217" /></a>There&#8217;s a story told about a Paris chief of police who was called to a department store to stop a burglary in progress. Upon his arrival, he reconnoitered the situation and ordered his men to surround the entrances of the building next door. When questioned about his actions, he replied that he didn&#8217;t have enough men to cover the department store&#8217;s many entrances but he did have enough for the building next door. Let&#8217;s see whether there are similarities between his strategy and today&#8217;s gun control strategy.</p>
<p>Last year, Chicago had 512 homicides; Detroit had 411; Philadelphia had 331; and Baltimore had 215. Those cities are joined by other dangerous cities — such as St. Louis, Memphis, Tenn., Flint, Mich., and Camden, N.J. — and they also lead the nation in shootings, assaults, rapes and robberies. Both the populations of those cities and their crime victims are predominantly black. Each year, more than 7,000 blacks are murdered. Close to 100 percent of the time, the murderer is another black person.</p>
<p>According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation&#8217;s population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it&#8217;s 22 times that of whites. Coupled with being most of the nation&#8217;s homicide victims, blacks are also most of the victims of violent personal crimes, such as assault and robbery. The magnitude of this tragedy can be seen in another light. According to a Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute study, between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 blacks were lynched at the hands of whites.</p>
<p>What percentage of murders, irrespective of race, are committed with what are being called assault weapons? You&#8217;d be hard put to come up with an amount greater than 1 or 2 percent. In fact, according to FBI data from 2011, there were 323 murders committed with a rifle of any kind but 496 murders committed with a hammer or a club. But people who want to weaken our Second Amendment guarantees employ a strategy like that of the Paris chief of police.</p>
<p>They can&#8217;t do much about hammers, clubs, fists or pistols, but by exploiting public ignorance, they might have a bit of success getting an &#8220;assault weapon&#8221; ban that will have little impact on violent crime.</p>
<p>There are other measures these people employ in an attempt to end violence that border on lunacy. Massachusetts&#8217; Hyannis West Elementary recently warned a 5-year-old&#8217;s parents that if their son made another gun from a Legos set, he&#8217;d be suspended. Elementary-school children have been suspended or otherwise disciplined for drawing a picture of a gun or pointing a finger and saying, &#8220;Bang, bang.&#8221; I shudder to think about what would happen to kids in a schoolyard if they played, as I played nearly 70 years ago, &#8220;cops &#8216;n&#8217; robbers&#8221; or &#8220;cowboys &#8216;n&#8217; Indians.&#8221; Maybe today&#8217;s politically correct educators would cut the kids a bit of slack if they said they were playing &#8220;cowboys &#8216;n&#8217; Native Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>What explains a lot of what we see today, which politicians and their liberal allies would never condemn, is growing cultural deviancy. Twenty-nine percent of white children, 53 percent of Hispanics and 73 percent of black children are born to unmarried women. The absence of a husband and father from the home is a strong contributing factor to poverty, school failure, crime, drug abuse, emotional disturbance and a host of other social problems. By the way, the low marriage rate among blacks is relatively new. Census data show that a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults from 1890 to 1940. In 2009, the poverty rate among married whites was 3.2 percent; for blacks, it was 7 percent, and for Hispanics, it was 13.2 percent. The higher poverty rates — 22 percent for whites, 35.6 percent for blacks and 37.9 percent for Hispanics — are among unmarried families.</p>
<p>Other forms of cultural deviancy are found in the kind of music accepted today that advocates killing and rape and other vile acts. Punishment for criminal behavior is lax. Today&#8217;s Americans accept behavior that our parents and grandparents never would have accepted.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/p1wallace1.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-146063" title="p1wallace" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/p1wallace1.gif" alt="" width="375" height="260" /></a>Democrats spent the first century of this country&#8217;s existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.</p>
<p>After fighting the Civil War to continue enslaving black people and then subjecting newly freed black Americans to vicious, humiliating Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan violence, Democrats set about frantically rewriting their own ugly history.</p>
<p>Step 1: Switch &#8220;Democrat&#8221; to &#8220;Southerner&#8221;;</p>
<p>Step 2: Switch &#8220;Southerner&#8221; to &#8220;conservative Democrat&#8221;;</p>
<p>Step 3: Switch &#8220;conservative Democrat&#8221; to &#8220;conservative.&#8221;</p>
<p>Contrary to liberal folklore, the Democratic segregationists were not all Southern &#8212; and they were certainly not conservative. They were dyed-in-the-wool liberal Democrats on all the litmus-test issues of their day.</p>
<p>All but one remained liberal Democrats until the day they died. That&#8217;s the only one you&#8217;ve ever heard of: Strom Thurmond.</p>
<p>As soon as abortion is relegated to the same trash heap of history as slavery has been, liberals will be rewriting history to make Democrats the pro-lifers and Republicans the pro-choicers. That&#8217;s precisely what they&#8217;ve done with the history of race in America.</p>
<p>In addition to lying in the history books, liberals lied on their personal resumes. Suddenly, every liberal remembered being beaten up by a 300-pound Southern sheriff during the civil rights movement.</p>
<p>Among the ones who have been caught falsely gassing about their civil rights heroism are Bob Beckel, Carl Bernstein and Joseph Ellis. (Some days, it seems as if there are more liberals pretending to have been Freedom Riders than pretending to be Cherokees!)</p>
<p>In the 1950s and &#8217;60s, Democrats were running segregationists for vice president, slapping Orval Faubus on the back and praising George Wallace voters for their &#8220;integrity.&#8221; (That was Arthur Schlesinger Jr. in The New York Times.)</p>
<p>But the moment the real civil rights struggle was over, liberals decided to become black America&#8217;s most self-important defenders.</p>
<p>Of course, once we got the Democrats to stop discriminating against blacks, there was no one else doing it. So liberals developed a rich fantasy life in which they played Atticus Finch and some poor white cop from Brooklyn would be designated Lester Maddox (racist Democrat, endorsed by Jimmy Carter).</p>
<p>White journalists who didn&#8217;t know any actual black people (other than Grady the maid) became junior G-men searching for racists under every bed, requiring a steady stream of deeply pompous editorials.</p>
<p>You will never see anything so brave as a liberal fighting nonexistent enemies.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When will African Americans realize that the NAACP and progressives have been leading them off a cliff? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ap_mitt_romney_naacp_ll_120711_wg.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-137265" title="ap_mitt_romney_naacp_ll_120711_wg" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ap_mitt_romney_naacp_ll_120711_wg.gif" alt="" width="375" height="250" /></a>In choosing to address the NAACP national convention Wednesday, Mitt Romney reached out to an organization whose leaders and rank-and-file members alike will support, with virtual unanimity, President Obama&#8217;s reelection bid this November. Nonetheless, the audience greeted Romney respectfully when he first stepped to the podium. That tenuous respect, however, quickly dissipated when Romney began to talk about Obama. Murmurs of disapproval ran through the crowd when the Republican candidate <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-romney-naacp-20120711,0,3228571.story">asserted</a> that the President had not <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/romney-naacp-speech-crossed-line-or-positive-reception/">fulfilled</a> his promises while in office, and that Romney&#8217;s own policies were likely to help “families of any color more than the policies and leadership of President Obama.” But when Romney pledged to reduce government spending in part by eliminating “expensive, non-essential programs” such as “Obamacare,” he was met with loud, sustained boos. Following the speech, NAACP chairman Ben Jealous wasted no time in issuing a <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/romney-says-he-expected-to-be-booed-at-naacp/story?id=16753886#.T_3wYmC0xWN">statement</a> indicating that Romney&#8217;s agenda was not only “antithetical” to the NAACP&#8217;s interests, but also reflective of “his fundamental misunderstanding of the needs of many African Americans.” No matter that the “Obamacare” legislation, as a major stepping-stone toward the Left&#8217;s ultimate goal of a single-payer system, will propel the country in the direction of a <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=180&amp;type=issue">healthcare model</a> that has already led to colossal levels of inefficiency, fiscal waste, and human tragedy wherever it has been tried.</p>
<p>The disapproval of Ben Jealous and his fellow NAACP members was of course entirely predictable, for they reside near the far left of the political spectrum, where any pledge to curb or reverse the growth of government constitutes heresy. Romney&#8217;s theme touched a collective raw nerve among the NAACP faithful—analogous to an outsider telling a Catholic congregation that the trinity and the doctrine of transubstantiation will lead them only to a spiritual dead-end.</p>
<p>The Left&#8217;s track record of economic, social, and moral destruction is easily observable to anyone willing to look at it. But as far as that goes, modern-day leftists are akin to the 17th-century philosophers who, professing certitude that mountains and valleys could not possibly exist on the moon, famously refused to condescend, even for a moment, to look through Galileo&#8217;s newly developed telescope. Indeed, contemporary leftists are likewise wedded to a faith they cannot bear to see challenged in any way, lest the carefully crafted towers of their understanding suddenly be washed away like sandcastles on the shore. Thus they turn a blind eye to the legacy of chaos and suffering that big government has brought to mankind generally, and to African Americans in particular.</p>
<p>Consider, for instance, what the Left did to the black community by way of government-mandated policies regulating the mortgage-lending industry. In 1977, progressive Democrats in Congress engineered the passage of the <a href="http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&amp;sid=52a4960633093ddafec2727093859f12&amp;rgn=div5&amp;view=text&amp;node=12:1.0.1.1.23&amp;idno=12#12:1.0.1.1.23.1.9.1">Community Reinvestment Act</a> (CRA), which <a href="http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&amp;rgn=div6&amp;view=text&amp;node=12:1.0.1.1.23.1&amp;idno=12">required</a> banks to make special efforts to lend to minority borrowers—particularly mortgagors—of meager to modest means. In the 1990s, the Clinton administration effectively placed the CRA on steroids, transforming it from an outreach program into a strict <a href="http://www.city-journal.org/html/10_1_the_trillion_dollar.html">quota system</a> that imposed oppressive penalties on banks which fell short of their quotas. With no recourse other than to drastically <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10132008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/spreading_the_virus_133375.htm?page=0">lower their standards</a> and to issue multitudes of subprime loans to borrowers with weak credit credentials, banks embarked on a path of ill-conceived practices that would ultimately lead to the housing-market collapse of 2008.</p>
<p>Because of their comparatively poor credit ratings as a demographic group, blacks were disproportionately represented among those who fell into the financial trap of subprime loans. Thus the subsequent foreclosure rates among black homeowners <a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/87440/race-and-the-foreclosure-crisis">dwarfed</a> those of their <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/18/news/economy/african-americans_latinos_foreclosure/index.htm">white</a> counterparts. Because of this, the median net worth of black households declined by <a href="http://pewresearch.org/pubs/2069/housing-bubble-subprime-mortgages-hispanics-blacks-household-wealth-disparity">53%</a> between 2005 and 2009—the single greatest economic blow ever delivered to the black community. Then, from 2009-2012, African Americans collectively <a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/87440/race-and-the-foreclosure-crisis">lost</a> another $193 billion. When the bottom fell out of the housing market, it inevitably fell out of the jobs market as well. Between January 2007 and <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/02/news/economy/black_unemployment_rate/index.htm">August 2011</a>, the black unemployment <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2010/01/state_of_minorities.html">rate</a> spiked from 8% to 16.7% (and 19.1% for black males). Hoover Institution Fellow Thomas Sowell <a href="http://www.theburningplatform.com/?p=19542">observes</a> that although “many blacks got loans that they could not have gotten otherwise,” in the final analysis they “lost out, big time, from this &#8216;favor&#8217; done for them by politicians.”</p>
<p>The ceaseless proliferation of big-government welfare programs and expenditures during the past half-century has likewise inflicted incalculable harm on poor blacks in the U.S.  When President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 launched the so-called War on Poverty, he gave form to what Thomas Sowell has <a href="http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/politics/poverty/3864-War-Poverty-Revisited.html">described</a> as “the crowning triumph of the liberal vision of society—and of government programs as the solution to social problems.” With the expansion of the welfare state, Americans&#8217; dependency (which previously had been declining for many years) on the federal government suddenly rose to unprecedented heights. By 1974, government-provided benefits were an astounding <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/FNforSowell.html">20 times higher</a> than they had been in 1965. From 1965 to the present day, more than $16 trillion of taxpayer money (in constant 2012 dollars) has been spent on welfare programs for the poor, yet the poverty rate is <a href="http://times247.com/articles/war-on-poverty-stays-at-1965-levels">essentially unchanged</a>.</p>
<p>The most devastating by-product of the mushrooming welfare state has been its corrosive effect on American family life, particularly in the black community. Rising illegitimacy rates are the key indicators of this development. The out-of-wedlock birth rate among blacks spiked from 24.5% in the mid-Sixties, to <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/09/marriage-america-s-greatest-weapon-against-child-poverty">50.3%</a> in 1976, to <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr60/nvsr60_01.pdf#table16">73%</a> today. To be sure, there were cultural influences that helped to ignite the dissolution of American families generally, and of black families especially. But the ramifications of those influences have been amplified exponentially by provisions in welfare laws that offer substantial economic incentives for shunning marriage and avoiding the formation of two-parent families. For <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/06/married-fathers-americas-greatest-weapon-against-child-poverty">decades</a>, <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/09/marriage-america-s-greatest-weapon-against-child-poverty">means-tested welfare programs</a> such as food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, day care, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families have <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/09/marriage-america-s-greatest-weapon-against-child-poverty">penalized</a> marriage. George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704881304576094221050061598.html?mod=WSJ_newsreel_opinion">puts it</a> succinctly: “The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn&#8217;t do, what Jim Crow couldn&#8217;t do, what the harshest racism couldn&#8217;t do. And that is to destroy the black family.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Criminal-Justice-System1.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-129459" title="Criminal-Justice-System1" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Criminal-Justice-System1.gif" alt="" width="375" height="249" /></a>Calling America&#8217;s criminal justice system &#8220;racist&#8221; is not confined to &#8220;civil rights leaders&#8221; like the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Then-Sen. Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, said it, too. Blacks and whites, said Obama, &#8220;are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates (and) receive very different sentences &#8230; for the same crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>When the man who became president of the United States says this — the No. 1 law enforcement officer — it must, therefore, be true.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s examine five major assumptions behind this assertion.</p>
<p>1) Blacks are arrested at higher rates compared to whites — <em>but wrongly so.</em></p>
<p>Not true. While only 13 percent of the population, blacks accounted for 28 percent of nationwide arrests in 2010 and 38.1 percent of arrests for violent crime (murders, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault). But are they <em>unfairly </em>arrested? Studies find that arrest rates by race are comparable to the race of suspect identification by victims.</p>
<p>For example, in a given city, x number of robbery victims describe their assailants as black — whether or not the suspect has been apprehended. It turns out that the race of those arrested matches the percentage given by victims. This has been found repeatedly across the country, in all categories of crime where the race of an assailant is identified. So unless the victims are deliberately misidentifying their assailants — unconcerned about whether the suspect is apprehended and knowingly give a false race — blacks are not being &#8220;over-arrested.&#8221;</p>
<p>2) Blacks are convicted at higher rates and given longer sentences than whites for the same crime.</p>
<p>Not true. Differences in conviction and sentencing rates by race are due to differences in the gravity of the criminal offenses, prior records or other legal variables. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases in the country&#8217;s 75 largest urban areas actually found <em>lower </em>felony prosecution rates for blacks than whites and that blacks were less likely to be found guilty at trial.</p>
<p>3) The sentence disparity between powder and crack cocaine is racist and accounts for a large percentage of imprisoned blacks.</p>
<p>Not true. Concerned about the deadly effect of crack within their own communities, black members of Congress led the charge to pass the 1986 federal drug laws. The bill that was passed — which included the crack/powder sentencing disparity — did so with the support of the majority of black congresspersons.</p>
<p>None at the time objected to the sentencing disparity as &#8220;racist.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2006, the feds tried 5,619 crack sellers, and 4,495 of them were black — out of the 562,000 blacks in state and federal prisons at the end of that year. Add in county and city jails, and the figure rises to 858,000. And states&#8217; crack cocaine laws are not the culprits. Only 13 states employ differing sentencing guidelines for crack vs. powder — and their differential is much smaller than that of the feds.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Deafening silence from the racism monitors on the former D.C. mayor's rant about "dirty" Asian stores.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/barry.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-128007" title="barry" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/barry.gif" alt="" width="375" height="250" /></a>Marion Barry&#8217;s mouth set him up. The disgraced former mayor of Washington, D.C., who was caught on tape in a 1987 crack cocaine sting, made an even bigger disgrace of himself and his city on Tuesday. Celebrating a Democratic primary victory, the city councilman attacked small businesses owned by &#8220;Asians&#8221; in his district. Then the race-baiting clown doubled down.</p>
<p>Barry told supporters in D.C.&#8217;s Ward 8: &#8220;We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops. They ought to go.&#8221; Once pushed out, Barry promised, he would replace the foreign invaders with &#8220;African-American business people.&#8221; Barry then took to the social networking platform Twitter to expound on the perils of &#8220;dirty&#8221; Asian shops in his neighborhood.</p>
<p>As documented by my Twitter curation start-up Twitchy.com, Barry posted photos of supposedly hazardous stores — including Chinese restaurants surrounded not by trash or toxic waste, but by Plexiglas barriers and reinforced doors. Barry explained that Asian-owned businesses that had the audacity to protect themselves from crime were &#8220;lowering standards&#8221; in his constituents&#8217; communities.</p>
<p>In Barry&#8217;s bizarre world, law-abiding entrepreneurs who take steps to prevent robberies are the ones who threaten Ward 8&#8242;s quality of life — not the armed thugs who threaten honest livelihoods in the first place. Vigilant wealth creators taking care of their families? Scourge of D.C. Profanity-spewing drug addicts inciting hatred against successful achievers of the American Dream? Model citizens!</p>
<p>Crazy Barry doesn&#8217;t just need another round of rehab. He needs a reality check.</p>
<p>As a commenter on DCist.com noted, 2010 Census data showed that &#8220;Asians made up 0.4 percent of the Ward 8 population (blacks made up 93.5 percent, a 1 percent increase from 2000). If anything, Asians are moving out, not in — the Asian population decreased 13.6 percent (from 301 people to 260 people) between 2000 and 2010. Meanwhile, the child poverty rate in Ward 8 sits at 48.3 percent, a 1.2 percent increase since 2000 — in contrast, the District&#8217;s overall child poverty rate decreased 3 percent since 2000. Now that&#8217;s what I call defying the odds.&#8221;</p>
<p>If Barry&#8217;s ignorant slurs had come out of the mouth of, say, former GOP Gov. George Allen of Virginia (pummeled for his &#8220;macaca&#8221; gaffe), there would be calls for his head from every civil rights organization in the Beltway. While the Washington Post reported that Barry &#8220;apologized,&#8221; he showed typical fake penitence for &#8220;offending&#8221; Asians and claimed he was &#8220;taken out of context.&#8221;</p>
<p>By &#8220;Asian,&#8221; he blubbered to a local TV reporter, he didn&#8217;t mean &#8220;Asian.&#8221; He really meant all &#8220;those persons (who) come into our community, whatever color they are; it happened to be Asian initially.&#8221; Put the prejudice pipe down, buddy.</p>
<p>Instead of showing true remorse, Barry dug in deeper with even more divisive, entitled and militant us vs. them propaganda: &#8220;We&#8217;re spending our money there, and we demand respect,&#8221; he told the Washington Post. &#8220;We demand they participate in community affairs. We demand they give jobs to Ward 8 people regardless of their cultural situation. That&#8217;s as American as apple pie.&#8221;</p>
<p>Spoken like a true racial racketeer.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why the accusation is an unadulterated falsehood.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/08web-ronpaul-ap.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-119913" title="08web-ronpaul-ap" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/08web-ronpaul-ap.gif" alt="" width="375" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>In the Republican presidential candidates&#8217; debate on Jan. 7, Congressman Ron Paul said: &#8220;I&#8217;m the only one up here &#8230; that understands true racism in this country is in the judicial system.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said this racism has to do with &#8220;enforcing the drug laws&#8221; and then added: &#8220;They (blacks) get the death penalty way disproportionately.&#8221;</p>
<p>Two groups immediately defended Paul — his supporters and commentators on the left. The former support anything Paul says, and the left supports anything that Paul says that portrays America as ugly (see, for example, the defense of Paul by left-wing USA Today columnist Dwayne Wickham, whose columns are regularly devoted to how much blacks suffer from American racism).</p>
<p>Just last month, Paul was asked by a representative of an organization (We Are Change) that holds the government responsible for 9/11, &#8220;Why won&#8217;t you come out about the truth about 9/11?&#8221;</p>
<p>Paul&#8217;s response: &#8220;Because I can&#8217;t handle the controversy. I have the IMF, the Federal Reserve to deal with, the IRS to deal with. Because I just have more — too many — things on my plate. Because I just have too much to do.&#8221; The interview is readily available on YouTube.</p>
<p>Whatever the implication of his cryptic response, when Paul is confronted by the mainstream media, he denies that he believes the American government was involved in the 9/11 attacks. But what is undeniable is that Paul, like much of the left, holds America largely responsible for 9/11 because of its foreign policy. That includes its &#8220;occupying&#8221; of countries all over the world; the sanctions on Saddam Hussein&#8217;s Iraq, which Paul and the left claim killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis; the injustices against Palestinians that America has supported (through its support of Israel); etc.</p>
<p>Paul mocks the idea that the primary reason for 9/11 was that people of great evil attacked a very good country — because this is what the evil do, just as they did on Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese regime attacked Pearl Harbor.</p>
<p>It does seem that the Texas congressman&#8217;s description of the American justice system as racist is part of Paul&#8217;s generally dark view of America.</p>
