Racists in the window ain't enough
S-Train's situation came to the attention of Instapundit. And from there, I guess, to the (to put it politely) skeptics.
Skeptics who feel the need to track him down to debunk the story. Why? There are several reasons I can think of, however with nothing to go by except rants in his comments I will not list them. None of them are good, though, I'll say that much.
And I'll say this much too.
One of the commenters said he doubted the racial aspect of the report because
Well, I checked his URL, and it's some…well, I'll let Mr. Elder speak for himself.
In 1992, of the nearly 6 million violent crimes of murder, rape, manslaughter, armed robbery, and felonious assaults, nearly 20% involved a different-race victim with a different-race perpetrator. Of the nearly 1 million interracial violent crimes, 90% involved a black offender and a white victim. Now, if you assume a race-based motive in less than 1% of the black perpetrator/white victim violent crimes, you still reach a number equivalent to all of the yearly hate crimes in the entire country.
Mr. Elder does his job well, although you should note that his own figures mean you're four times more likely to be assaulted by someone of your own race so you need to quit sweating Black folks.
But I happen to know the real situation, and will let the FBI's statistics speak via its 2001 Hate Crime Report, a 142 page PDF. This table is taken from page 13. Check it yourselves.
| Anti-White | 891 | 1,034 | 1,065 | 1,148 |
| Anti-Black | 2,899 | 3,529 | 3,700 | 2,818 |
| Anti-American Indian/Alaskan Native | 80 | 95 | 100 | 103 |
| Anti-Asian/Pacific Islander | 280 | 349 | 363 | 271 |
| Anti-Multiple Races, Group | 217 | 283 | 317 | 154 |
The VAST MAJORITY of hate crimes target Black people.
Now that I've dealt with that bullshit, let me deal with Larry Elder's bullshit.
The FBI started keeping Uniform Crime Reports in 1995. Figures prior to that have been assembled by The Disaster Center. It seems Mr. Elder has vastly…VASTLY…overstated the amount of violent crime in 1991. Check the link for yourself.
Ol' trifling-ass Larry Elder is either so ignorant he's dangerous, or a sell-out (definition of sell-out as used on P6: A person that knowingly denies the truth for personal gain).
White folks in general need to get real. The problem is mostly in YOUR communities, not mine. Black separatists talk about getting land and seceding. White separatists talk about race wars and the extermination of lesser races.
And those of you who ain't down with that need to be clear about it.
