The use of black rape statistics is a common white racist argument. It seeks to prove that black men have a dark and savage nature by showing that they rape women at vastly higher rates than white men. The beauty of the argument is that few whites question it because it plays on two stereotypes they have about black men: they are violent and they have stronger sex drives that they cannot control.
First, as black crime goes rape is rare. Here are the top ten crimes committed by blacks in America according to FBI numbers on arrests made in 2007:
- 485,054 Drug abuse violations
- 261,730 Larceny, theft
- 316,217 Assault (non-aggravated)
- 183,810 Disorderly conduct
- 109,985 Aggravated assault
- 97,472 Driving under the influence
- 68,052 Burglary
- 62,278 Drunkenness
- 57,745 Weapons; carrying, possessing, etc.
- 54,774 Robbery
Forcible rape was not even close to making this list: there were only 5,708 arrests.
Second, white men are a far bigger threat. Despite the racism of the police and the stereotypes about black rapists, the police still arrest twice as many white men for rape.
Going by the stereotypes, you would expect whiter countries to be safer. Wrong. Despite the millions of black men in America, women are way safer there than in Canada and Australia, where rape is more than twice as common.
So where are the statistics that show black men are such dangerous rapists? It comes from comparing not all rapes but just interracial rapes. Comments like this often appear on this blog:
Fact – blacks rape white women 2000 (yes 2000) times more than whites rape black women. In New York City, about 300 white women are raped by blacks every year BUT there has not been a black woman raped by a white male in anybody’s memory (going back over 20 yrs.) Consider: Al Sharpton had to go upstate New York to find a hoax and that was almost 20 years ago. (Source NYT 4/22/05)
That looks solid: the New York Times said so! Except that it did not: there is no such article.
I looked up the numbers for myself:
The FBI does not break out numbers for interracial rape but the Justice Department does for “rape and sexual assault” – based on a crime victim survey it does every year. But interracial rape is so rare that there are fewer than ten cases in its sample. So you cannot draw any firm statistical conclusions.
On television rape is a dark-alley crime, but in fact strangers commit only 2% of rapes. Half are done by current or former boyfriends, dates and husbands. Interracial rape is rare for the same reasons that interracial marriage is rare. So rare that there are not even solid government figures on it.
But better numbers would not help: after all, if you applied the same reasoning to numbers on marriage it would “prove” that black men are by nature also more likely to marry.
The argument is built not on sound reasoning and solid facts but on white fears that go back at least to Jim Crow times.

I didn’t know about this stereotype, but frankly, it makes sense. White people are scared of blacks (because of the stereotypes). There’s also “pure white woman” stereotype or whatever is called. Plus, don’t forget that people see only what they want to see. So a white man raping a white woman is seen as a sick individual. A black man raping a white woman is seen as… a black man. 😦 It seems that 100 white rapists are individuals, but one black rapist is a proof blacks are violent, oversexed creatures.

I don’t know if you read those links I gave you, but this stereotype became hugely popular because of drug prohibition. Back in the day the government would say black men would smoke reefer or do coke, and go on a sexual rampage. It worked very well to scare white people out of doing drugs. There were major corporations at that time losing money to hemp and Marijuana products, so they used reefer madness and racism to outlaw both.

The FBI does not break out rape statistics by race, like they do for murder.
The Justice Department, however, does a crime survey every year where they ask a random sample of Americans about what crimes they have experienced during the past year – regardless of whether or not the police did anything.
In that survey they do ask about the race of the victim and the rapist. But in their sample there are fewer than ten rapes in which blacks took any part at all (but there are more than ten white-on-white rapes).
If you take small, statistically insignificant numbers and extend them to the whole country, you can get wild numbers, the kind that David Duke, Pat Buchanan and trolls use, the kind quoted above, the kind you see on Stormfront.
But you can use the very same numbers to “prove” that white men are more likely to rape women then black men, that black men rape four times more white women than black women. But no one points that out.
The numbers are not solid enough to say what Duke and others say – and can be used to say other wild things too that they never say.

Well, the only logical explanation- except from blatant racism- would be that white women don’t report those rapes (made by blacks) to the police or The Justice Department, but they chose to report to New York Times. NOT LIKELY!

” But interracial rape is so rare that there are fewer than ten cases in its sample. So you cannot draw any firm statistical conclusions.”
No… for one year 2005 White on Black interracial rape fell below 10 cases. But take 10 year rolling average and you will see there were more than 10 cases found by the DOJ for White on Black rape albeit it’s pretty low. Black on White rape statistics are higher for every year.
“Second, white men are a far bigger threat. Despite the racism of the police and the stereotypes about black rapists, the police still arrest twice as many white men for rape.”
Arrest records are not broken out for ethnicity. (at least not the ones I have seen from the FBI.. you may be citing a different source…) Hispanics are frequently (more 90%) lumped in together with Whites. The rate of Hispanics in prison per capita is 2.4 times higher than for Non-Hispanic Whites. Some of this could be explained by socio-economic issues as well as the average age for each group. The average age for Hispanics in the US is 27, the average age for Non-Hispanic Whites is 40.

She became the slut, whore of Armageddon, and representative of the destruction of white male purity. Otherwise, why would her name even come up when the Duke Lacrosse team was accused of rape.
During my time rape was a capital offense and as a child I heard a story in which a white woman cried rape, because she was caught with a Black man. Of course I heard it from the Black side, but I never knew the outcome of the trial, whether it was the death penalty or prison. It didn’t matter if she was believed or not. When that happens now, there is no outrage as with Crystal Magnum. There have been several instances involving sports teams which were mostly Black where, the white woman had falsely accused one of team. But just as in rape, she’s just a misguided individual.

2) This is a survey of crime victims not arrests or convictions
3) The percentages are based upon the perceived race of the attackers.

Black 48.5% – Black Rapists 77730
Other 15.4% – Other 24681
Not known/ Unavailable 3.2 %
It is not clear if White (victims or offenders..) include Hispanics. For arrests the FBI generally lumps Hispanics in with Whites.
The picture for 2006 is radically different:
See table 40

Once again it is not clear if White (victims or offenders..) include Hispanics. For arrests the FBI generally lumps Hispanics in with Whites.

Well, anecdotally, the various kinds of sexual boundary pushing I’ve gotten from men (including the one forcible groping) have been lopsidedly skewed toward white men, so it didn’t surprise me to learn that a large majority of rape is intraracial. It just convinces me all the more that the feminist argument about rape being a crime that’s about power rather than lust or misunderstanding is right. Rape is a matter of predatory men going after whoever they think they can get away with attacking, which, if you’re a white woman, probably means white men attacking you rather than black men.
On Soul on Ice, and Eldridge Cleaver, I remember reading part of that book as a teenager, and not being able to bring myself to read further, once I got to the part where he talked about raping white women. Years later, after he’d gone through a major ideology change, a friend of mine went off to some gathering of, I think, people who had formerly been associated with the Unification Church, and came back saying she’d met Eldridge Cleaver there and he’d hit on her; I remember thinking that wouldn’t be an approach to inspire confidence. But of course the whole black rapist stereotype way predates that book.

Interracial rapes are, moreover, uncommon. Rapes of white women by black men, for instance, represent less than 10 percent of all rapes, according to the Justice Department.
The author is referring to the DOJ surveys which are all over the map for rape. For the year 1999 Black on White rape is listed as only 7% for the rapes of White women. For 2005 it jumps to 34%. Supposedly every year they survey 135,000 people but often they have categories where they say they received less than 10 samples. Such figures would suggest that at best the survey is a rough guide and individual years should not be quoted as valid statistics.

Nicely evasive post. Following are some things known about rape in the US. I omitted redundant “facts”. Moreover, each item also included a reference to supporting research. In the interest of space, I omitted them, but the link is here:
http://www.feminist.com/antiviolence/facts.html
All research on rape points to numbers similar to those included below. Key point — Inasmuch as almost two-thirds of women who report being raped are raped by someone they know, the race of the attacker is no mystery. Meanwhile, it appears hispanics are identified as “white.”
U.S. STATISTICS
Fact #2: 64% of women who reported being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked since age 18 were victimized by a current or former husband, cohabiting partner, boyfriend, or date.
Fact #4: The FBI estimates that only 37% of all rapes are reported to the police. U.S. Justice Department statistics are even lower, with only 26% of all rapes or attempted rapes being reported to law enforcement officials.
Fact #14: According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, more than 260,000 rapes or sexual assaults occurred in 2000.
Fact #16: More than half of all rapes of women occur before age 18; 22% occur before age 12.
Fact #18: About 81% of rape victims are white; 18% are black; 1% are of other races. (Violence Against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994.)
Fact #19: About half of all rape victims are in the lowest third of income distribution; half are in the upper two-thirds.
Fact #20: According to the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey (YRBSS), a national survey of high school students, 8% of students had been forced to have sexual intercourse when they did not want to. Overall, black students (10%) were significantly more likely than white students (7%) to have been forced to have sexual intercourse.

Law enforcement agencies made 2,487 arrests for forcible rape…The following table presents the racial demographics of these non-lethal violent crimes in the United States for 2008:

Black 32.2%
White Americans were arrested more than any other race for non-lethal violent crimes in 2008, making up 58% of all arrests. White Americans, constituting approximately 79% of the total population, were significantly underrepresented in the total arrests made.
Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans, constituting approximately 4% of the total population, were also significantly underrepresented, making up only 1% of total arrests.
African Americans were significantly over-represented for non-lethal violent crimes in 2008, making up 39% of all arrests.
The following table presents the racial and ethnic demographics of non-lethal violent crime victimization per 1000 persons age 12 or older in 2008

White — 0.6
Black — 1.9

From reading your post on rape, it is clear you are NOT a numbers guy.
If you understood numbers, you would see that virtually every statement you made points to blacks committing rape at a far higher rate than whites.
By the way, reliable rape statistics are not available from most black countries simply because the data collection is haphazard and the crime is defined differently.
Moreover, in muslim countries, men are legally empowered to abuse their wives in ways that would get them arrested for rape in the US. Thus, by virtue of muslim law, it is not possible for a muslim man to rape his wife. She has no right to refuse her husband.
As far as the realities for women living in rape-ocracies goes, the one offering the most reliable statistics is South Africa.
However, the country in which being a women means rape is part of life is Congo. It is fair to say that Congo is the site of an ongoing rape holocaust.

@Uncle Milton: I’ve poked around the DOJ web site before looking at racial breakdowns in crime statistics, though not specifically the ones about rape. (When I last looked, I was more looking for stats around the net, theirs and others, to see what I could conclude about what degree of racial bias was or wasn’t present in the criminal justice system. FWIW, I came to the conclusion that the degree of racial bias seems to be highly variable by type of crime.) It’s true, of course, that any one year may not be representative, and you get more reliability by looking at a range of years. Likewise, any one study of crime (like the one on exoneration that I cited) has to be placed in perspective by comparison with other studies.
However, pretty much all of the statistics I’ve seen on rape that look to be done by any remotely reliable researcher do point toward most rape being intraracial, and to a very large proportion of rape being acquaintance rather than stranger rape (which probably goes a good ways toward explaining why most of it is intraracial).
@no_slappz: However, the country in which being a women means rape is part of life is Congo. It is fair to say that Congo is the site of an ongoing rape holocaust.
Ongoing armed conflict tends to be associated with higher rape rates in many parts of the world. See, for instance, Susan Brownmiller’s Against Our Will on the association between rape and war. I sure wouldn’t want someone concluding that people in the Balkans are rape prone because of what happened in Bosnia, and likewise I don’t think events in the DRC are representative of how rape prone black men are.

Don’t forget that official rape statistics do not count prison rapes, which are mostly black-on-white. As so many Black males, especially from their twenties to their forties, are incarcerated, they cannot be on the streets endangering women (of any color).
You could reduce the number of Blacks in prison until it corresponds to the percentage of Whites who are incarcerated.
But then the out-of-prison a.k.a. “official” rape statistics would skyrocket.

To see the real truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice document Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005. (Go to the linked document, and under “Victims and Offenders” download the pdf file for 2005.)
In Table 42, entitled “Personal crimes of violence, 2005, percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender,” we learn that there were 111,590 white victims and 36,620 black victims of rape or sexual assault in 2005.
In the 111,590 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was white, 44.5 percent of the offenders were white, and 33.6 percent of the offenders were black. In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.
The table does not gives statistics for Hispanic victims and offenders. But the bottom line on interracial white/black and black/white rape is clear:
In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.
What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.
Here’s the thing, if you look at the TOTAL number of rapes of black and white women, blacks committed 50% of them, while they only make up approx 12% of the population, whereas whites account for about 30% of the total, when they actually make up about 65% of the population. So this effectively means that in comparison to population percentages by race, the overall likelihood of a black committing a rape compared to a white guy is statistically quite higher. The numbers don’t lie.

2. Minneapolis, Minnesota 97.4 rapes (17.4 % black)
3. Anchorage, Alaska 93.9 (6.3 % black)
4. Colorado Springs, Colorado 88.5 (7 % black [?])
5. Columbus, Ohio 81.8 (26.4 % black)
The cities with the largest black populations in the USA don’t have the highest rates of forcible rape. The cities with the highest rates of forcible rape don’t necessarily have very large black populations. Anchorage and Colorado Springs have some of the highest rates of forcible rape but have very small black populations.
Black criminal or street subcultures in North America and the Caribbean seems to discourage rape. So even in poor ghetto neighborhoods with high violent crime rates you can expect rates of forcible rape to be much lower then other forms of violent crime. People don’t appreciate this fact.

Abagond,
I have to commend you for having the courage to broach this topic. The subject of racial differences is always fraught with controversy, especially with respect to crime. Your willingness to write about racial differences regarding rape in a data driven fashion is encouraging to me. It tells me that there are people out there who are willing and able to at least attempt to view controversial subjects in a objective manner. I salute you!
Let’s examine a few of your remarks in detail:
The use of black rape statistics is a common white racist argument.
Your statement that white racists trumpet rape statistics because it plays upon the stereotypes that whites have regarding black men (oversexed, extremely violent, lacking in self control etc.) is probably correct, but requires additional explanation. It seems to me that white racists and others (like me) use rape to illustrate two points:
1) Rape is a crime in which police bias is minimized – Typically, liberals try to get around the fact that black men commit much more crime than other groups by stating that the police hate black men and consequently are inclined to arrest them disproportionally. White racists circumvent this argument by quoting rape statistics because the police don’t conduct rape sweeps as they do with drugs or guns. Innocent black men are not ensnared in this fashion with respect to rape, thus it provides a clearer picture of criminal propensity.
2) Rape is a crime in which blacks (for the sake of argument, blacks in this context means American blacks) are disproportionately represented among the perpetrators and victims (referring to male/female rape).
A more pertinent question is why the stereotypes of black men persist in the first place, especially given the media’s tendency to go out of its way to portray black men positively. It is my belief that the stereotypes regarding black criminality persist because of the underlying reality of black crime. Before Jackie Robinson entered the Major Leagues, it was widely believed that black men were too weak minded to stand the pressures of big league baseball. With the success of blacks in baseball, that particular stereotype whithered and died. Why haven’t the stereotypes about black crime also whithered?
First, as black crime goes rape is rare.
I don’t think “rare” is quite the right word to use. Rape, insofar as the data collected from victim surveys, is less frequent than other types of crime (although my feminist friends tell me otherwise), but rape is not rare. By your line of reasoning, all crime is rare, being that the opportunity to commit crimes greatly outweigh the actual instances of crime.
Second, white men are a far bigger threat
This depends on how one views the data. Regarding black women and rape, statistically speaking, white men are not a threat at all. In 2007, if the BJS victim data is to be believed (http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus0702.pdf, table 42, page 33), no black women were raped by white men as single offenders. White women identified white men as their attacker in 75.5% of cases, while identifying black men in 7.6% of cases. In table 40 (page 28) of the same document, 63% of women identified their attacker as white, while women identified their attacker as black in 15.5% of the cases. Being that white men comprise approximately 70 % of the male population of the US and black men approximately 12%, we can compute a propensity indexes for both white men and black men. 63/70 = 0.9 for whites and 15.5/12 = 1.29 for blacks. Given this we can compare the indexes, 0.9/1.29 = 0.69. In other words, statistically speaking, black men are approximately 30% more likely to rape a woman, regardless of race, than white men are. So while white men are a bigger threat to white women than black men are in absolute numbers, black men are, on a percentage basis, more likely to commit rape than white men are. And note, 2007 was a year in which rapes perpetrated by black men were significantly down from previous years.
you would expect whiter countries to be safer. Wrong.
How can you be sure about this? Canada, for instance, does not compile rape statistics with respect to the race of perpetrators of rape. Canada has a significant non-white population. Until you can show the rape statistics with respect to race of these majority white countries, you have nothing to base this remark on.
So where are the statistics that show black men are such dangerous rapists? It comes from comparing not all rapes but just interracial rapes.
Not so. As Uncle Milton and others (including me) had demonstrated previously, the trend is that black men commit rape in disproportionally higher percentages than white men do. This is without taking interracial rape into consideration. The rate goes somewhat asymptotic if one were to compare interracial rape, which is where the astronomical figures many white racists quote come from. Their assumption is that very few white men (zero for purposes of their calculations) rape black women, thus if one compared a very small number (in the denominator) to a significantly larger number (in the numerator) then one gets a very large number.
interracial rape is so rare that there are fewer than ten cases in its samples
Again, I think infrequent, rather than rare, gets across the more accurate meaning here. Feminists say that rape is dreadfully underreported, especially in the case of black women. I would agree that rape is probably underreported, but I do not believe that one third of all women in the US are subject to sexual assault, as many in the feminist community claim, but that is another soapbox.
As for the sample size in the victimization surveys, we find many figures annotated with “*Estimate is based on 10 or fewer sample cases”. Initially, I thought this meant that 10 or fewer cases were in existence ,which would support your statement. But after reading the documents more closely, I have to question that assumption. The estimate may not refer to cases in existence, but rather that estimates were given for computing ease, or were given because more accurate data was inaccessible. Let’s take, for example, the 2007 data for “Percent distribution of multiple-offender victimization, by type of crime and perceived race of offenders “(table 46, page 35). For the category of “Rape/Sexual assault/a”, each one of the figures is marked by an asterisk, indicating the figure is an estimate with a sample size of 10 or less. Note this includes the total number of victimizations (8310), which I would figure could not possibly be based on an estimate with a small sample size. I sent email and left voicemail for the BJS for clarification on this point.
Interracial rape is rare for the same reasons that interracial marriage is rare.
Let’s see if the numbers back up this assertion. Using the 2007 data, we see that black men were identified in 15.5% as the attackers of white women (single offender attacks, the stats for gang rapes are worse for black men), while 0% of white men were identified by black women as their attackers. Assuming that the out-marriage rate for blacks is 8% for men and 4% for women, it seems that black on white rape is more common, on a relative basis, than marriage between black men and white women. On the other hand, white on black rape is significantly less common than marriage between white men and black women, relatively speaking.
The argument is built not on sound reasoning and solid facts but on white fears that go back at least to Jim Crow times.
The arguments of white racists are often hyperbolic, but often so are yours, like when you asserted that the police were the cause of crime in black neighborhoods. It seems, although their numbers are exaggerated, white racists have the preponderate amount of data on their side.

This is wrong. The 2007 data shows that 7.6% of white women identified their attacker as black. Correcting for this, the rate of rape of white women by black men is approximately the same as the out-marriage rate for black men. White on black rape is significantly less frequent than marriage between white men and black women.

Does someone have the statistics filtered for socio-economic class and marital status, as well as race? That would be interesting information to know.
For instance, is a married, middle-class black man statistically more or less likely to rape than a unmarried, unemployed white man?
Without that information, and similar filtering (does he live in a city or in a rural area?) the statistics are rather meaningless, I think. They would also have to be filtered by age. White people have a declining birth rate, but black people do not. That means that a higher percentage of black men are young than white men are.
I think we should also keep in mind that BM/WW couples are much more common than WM/BW couples, so the opportunity to rape interracially is much higher.

Wow. Judging by the posts (and the links to the figures) above, I’d be forced to conclude that Abagond’s initial blog entry is incorrect in a number of places.
I’m a Black guy, but the figures seem to be against this argument, unless Abagond is about to reply with an argument that I have missed in my calculation of the logic, presented so far.
My own previous research into D.O.J. figures (when available by racial breakout) is that Whites commit more crimes in total numbers, but Blacks commit more crimes per capita. So, the criminals within the 13% of the American Black population commit more crimes, by percentage of ethnic population, than do White criminals—rape included.
That being said, the chances of an individual being raped by a STRANGER of another ethnicity are pretty low, and fall into lottery and lightning strike statistical rarity when measuring the recorded incidents against the American population of 30 million.
As has been mentioned above, most rapes are done by a person known to the victim, and intra-ethnic rape is much more common than inter-ethnic rape. And because the highest total number of rapes are done by White men (only because they are the majority ethnic group) a random woman on the street has a higher chance of being raped by a White man than a Black man (because there are far fewer Black men than White).
This racial calculus will probably make little difference to the woman who is raped.

The answer is in the statistics, that most rapes occur between people who know one another, and the fact that it happens most often between people of the same race.
Of course, historically speaking, White men were in a position of social and economic power especially as compared to Black women. In these years, however, the population of mixed race children increased significantly. Since White men held the power (including force of law) and Black women did not, it is reasonable to assume that a significant number of Black women were raped or coerced by White men, especially since so very few Black women were married to White men.
Would that be considered a racial motivation for rape? I suppose it could, but I was speaking about the now, not the then.

Well, 22% is half again as high as 15%, so, relative to each other, the difference between those stats is large. But I’ll take the correction that drugs make for less incarceration overall than I’d thought.
As for stranger rape the figures on average appeared to be around 30 to 35% (at least per the DOJ crime surveys…) So no overwhelmingly acquaintance rape but the majority of time.
That fits with the kinds of figures I’ve seen at sites giving information about rape (perhaps because they also were using DOJ stats). Not an overwhelming majority, but still quite a large majority.
@RR: And that business about most rapes being acquaintance rapes is why I’d expect, if race had no other influence, to see more black men raping white women than white men raping black women. The more a given pairing socializes, the more they’d be in the set of people available for acquaintance rape. Actually, I’d have expected the BM/WW rape rate to be higher than the intermarriage rate, other things equal, since intermarriage trails other social interaction (I’m sure the rate of consensual sex between BM and WW is significantly higher than the intermarriage rate).
On the other hand, the WM/BW rate you’re getting from the 2007 data still looks surprisingly low to me, and leaves me wondering if these rapes are particularly unlikely to get reported.
Which brings me to …
Rape is a crime in which police bias is minimized – Typically, liberals try to get around the fact that black men commit much more crime than other groups by stating that the police hate black men and consequently are inclined to arrest them disproportionally. White racists circumvent this argument by quoting rape statistics because the police don’t conduct rape sweeps as they do with drugs or guns. Innocent black men are not ensnared in this fashion with respect to rape, thus it provides a clearer picture of criminal propensity.
I think bias works in more complicated ways than this, and it’s actually hard to find a crime where some sort of bias couldn’t be influencing the rates we see. Consider, for example, the fact that white men appear to be more heavily represented, relative to black men, as child molesters (http://childprotection.lifetips.com/cat/63573/sex-offender-statistics/index.html) than as rapists of adults. Does that actually mean that white men are molesting relatively more children, while black men are raping relatively more adult women? Maybe it does (though it’s hard to imagine a racial/genetic difference that would cause such a disparity, there could be cultural factors that would cause it). But it’s also possible that it’s a reporting difference. Maybe children in the neighborhoods where white people live are being more heavily watched for signs of abuse. Maybe people are more likely to report the sorts of rapes where they think the police and the courts will believe them. (That could certainly influence, for example, the disparities people are citing in interracial rates for different pairings, if, for example, white women are more likely to think they’ll be believed about being raped by black men than black women are to think they’ll be believed about being raped by white men).
Also, any disparity that does exist, independent of bias, could have various causes (e.g. if the crime is one particularly likely to be committed by young men, then any race whose population skews younger will commit relatively more of that crime), so, there could be racial differences that would go away if you controlled for age, or income, or some other factor.
This doesn’t mean that BOJ statistics don’t give useful information, of course, but it does mean that, even if you do things like take ten year averages (as Uncle Milton and I agree is preferable to taking any one year), you still don’t have a source immune to bias (that doesn’t exist in this sort of area), and you still have a result that could be open to various causal interpretations.

1. When I wrote the post I looked at the 2006 DOJ report but tried to keep the post as independent of particular numbers as possible.
2. Ten years of numbers would be better, but the sample size would still be statistically insignificant.
3. In some cases taking an average will give you a number “closer to the truth” but in other cases it is a waste of time.
For example, if I measured something repeatedly and got like 1.25, 1.23, 1.25, 1.20 and 1.27, an average would probably be closer to the true value.
But if the numbers are all over the place, like 0.3, 5.0, 1.0, 2.3 and 4.7, an average would be meaningless.

Look at the comments for yourself: most black commenters quickly grew bored – because the black rapist argument is that brainless. If black rapists were some huge threat they would know it more clearly than whites would. Meanwhile white commenters are trying to “save the numbers”. Why????

You both need to learn to read. My post addresses your very points. Either you did not read it or read it but did not understand. Or did not want to understand.
You also failed to understand the DOJ report: when it says there are “less than ten cases” of white-on-black rape they do not mean less than ten cases in the whole country, they mean less than ten cases IN THEIR SAMPLE. Inotherwords, the sample size is too small to draw any “accurate” conclusions from, one of the main points made in my post.
In the 2006 report there were less than ten cases of black-and-white rape for the simple fact that there were less than ten cases of rape in which blacks took any identifiable part at all.

I am pretty sure that there are way more black-on-white rapes than white-on-black rapes in America. Simply because most rape is done by people the victim already knows. It is widely observed in the States that black men date white women at way higher rates than white men date black women. So that alone would drive up the rates of black-on-white rape. Also most blacks know more white people than whites know blacks, which again would drive up the numbers.
But does that mean black men are more given to rape? Hardly. It just means they have more opportunity. Uncle Milton was quick to make the very same argument in defence of white men when I said that few of them married blacks because they are racist.

1. The Philosophy of Science

Philosophy of Science
Any specific area of study viz. specifically why study a certain phenomena is a ‘subjective’ process??
With regard to the rape statistics. Scholars have found that there are a number of ‘rape myths’ in society. One of those myths is that rape is committed by a certain group of men whether it be race and or class.
Very rarely do scholars suggest that rape is specifically a crime committed by ALL men, and thus a male problem. Only a few feminist scholar may suggest this like Brownmiller who avers that all men have the potential to commit rape against women, to the angst of males.
Now broadening Susan Brownmiller hypothesis further. I could undertake a study to show that the problem with the world is the male species. I can look at history, to view that most of the wars in the past, have been the creation of ‘males’. I can use statistics to show that it is males who sexually assault women, and in some other instances other men, as well as children.
I can use the stats in the to show the disparity in the wages between men and women and so on and so forth.
AT the end of my study I can reach the conclusion that the male of the human family appears to be ‘dsysfunctional’, if not ‘evil’ – if I am making a ‘value judgement’.
However, this type of study, although it can be proved to be ‘demonstrable’, is never undertaken.

Part 2 –
Problem with Experimentation in Social Sciences
The problem with statistics goes merely beyond you can interpret them in any way possible.
There is a more fundamental issues that have to be looked at. For instance, how are the statistics collected?? Is there any ‘biases’ that have affected the process of collection? Furthermore do the statistics provide a ‘veridical’ representation of the world, in other words can you establish cause and effect??
With regard to the rape statistics, let us assume that the figures do show that Black males do commit more rape than other racial groups. Could it be the figures in fact reveals something else viz. that Black males are the ones that get CAUGHT by the criminal justice system compared to other groups, as opposed to Black males are committing more rape?
To demonstrate that Black commits more rape than any other social groups, much more rigourous experimentation would be required. Probably the issue of correlation (ie where two variables appear to be related will NOT do in this instance ie rape statistics and Black males).
Rather cause (ie being Black then leads to a preponderance of rape) and effect, would have to be established, never an easy thing in the social sciences.
For reasons we have discussed here before.
So on a fundamental level these are the ‘problems’ that one in ‘essence’ should be looking at.

Based simply on the arrest numbers, it seems that black men in America commit rape at a higher rate than white men. True, the police are racist but black women are also less likely to report it, which I imagine would more than offset whatever police racism there is.
But that does not prove that black men are more given to rape BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. If it was as simple as that then Jamaica would would NOT be safer than Canada and Australia, nor would America. Instead, in spite of large numbers of black men, both countries are SAFER than much whiter countries.

That’s right. And from that point you can undertake a closer examination of males to determine many more of their characteristics and traits.
With respect to anti-social behavior, it is the relative differences between groups that matter.
There are crimes that are perpetrated by whites and blacks at roughly equal rates. In those cases the silly hypothetical comparisons of education, wealth, class etc of perps might lead to some useful understanding.
But when it comes to murder and rape, the racial divergence is huge. Meanwhile, dissemblers want to dodge the obvious fact and run the discussion toward the occurrence of inter-racial rape. Truly a red herring, a diversion from the true topic. All that matters is why these violent crimes and other violent crimes are so regularly a part of black life.
When it comes to rape, the situation is terribly murky. Most African nations have populations with a median age of about 19. Some are lower — 17. Meanwhile, the expected lifespan of people in these countries is usually no more than 50.
What does this tell you? It tells you girls begin having sex and reproducing at very very young ages. Based on the numbers, it looks as though every male in those countries has violated the statutory rape laws of the US. But those laws do not seem to exist in Africa.
Then there is the muslim factor, which permits marriage of children. And allows the beating of wives, who are virtual slaves.
Meanwhile, back here in America, blacks have created massive problems for themselves through illegitimacy and fatherlessness.
Teenage pregnancy and motherhood are huge and problematic issues among blacks. How sexaully pressured are teenaged black girls? When does the pressure and coercion cross the line into rape? Hard to say.
But the teen motherhood rate among blacks says there’s a lot of pressure.

@Abagond, according to the Jamaica Gleaner, there were 423 reported rapes in 2004 in Jamaica. http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20060319/news/news5.html.
According to my calculations that means Jamaica has a rape rate of about 15 per 100,000.
Wikipedia says Jamaica is 91.2 % black and 6.2 % ‘mixed’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica#Ethnic_origins
Canada is roughly 85 % white and 15 % non-white. The majority of non-whites are South, East and Southeast Asian. Blacks make up just 2.5 % of the country’s total population. In 2002 Canada had a rape rate per 100,000 of 77.64. Much higher then the much blacker nation of Jamaica.
see page 40 of http://www.unodc.org/pdf/crime/eighthsurvey/8sv.pdf.
The black population of Canada is concentrated in urban centers, especially in the Toronto area, Montreal and the Halifax-Preston area. Toronto is in the province of Ontario,
Montreal is in Quebec and Halifax-Preston is in Nova Scotia.
Canada doesn’t break down rapes by race of perpetrator and victim. But it does break it down by province:
Click to access 85f0033m2008019-eng.pdf
Quebec and Ontario, with the largest black populations in Canada, both have rape rates below the national average. Nova Scotia’s rape rates are slightly above average but not the highest in the country.
The provinces with the highest rates of rape in Canada are those that had relatively small black populations. Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with smaller black populations then Ontario and Quebec, are the provinces with the highest rape rates in Canada. Rates of sexual assaults are even higher in the northern territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavuk. These territories have only very tiny black populations. If a black guy committed a rape in Inuvik or Pond Inlet I don’t
think the police would have too much trouble finding him.
All of these stats would lead one to conclude that black men are not responsible for the majority of rapes in Canada.
Similar data can be found in the US. The states with the highest rates of sexual assault (Alaska, New Mexico, Washington, etc.) mostly have black populations that are well below the national average. The states with the largest black populations (D.C., Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.) do not have the highest rates of rape.
These stats can be found on FBI, Department of Justice and US census websites.

“A more pertinent question is why the stereotypes of black men persist in the first place… It is my belief that the stereotypes regarding black criminality persist because of the underlying reality of black crime”
Stereotypes about black men in general are, what, violent, rape prone, highly sexed, possessed of big penises? With the minor compensating virtues of being able to dance and shoot hoops well? It’s not a picture that at all resembles any actual black man I’ve had occasion to interact intimately with, so the notion that the stereotype in general persists because of underlying reality doesn’t pass the smell test with me. On the other hand, it fits very neatly with the ordinary human bias we all have to believe we’re better than other people in the qualities we find important; it’s only natural that the group that’s more powerful gets to claim for itself the qualities our culture values most, and assign to other groups the qualities our culture fears most.
This isn’t to say that one or another element of the stereotype might not, at this time in place, on average, actually be true. Who knows, maybe if I took out a measuring tape and got to work I’d discover that black men really are on average somewhat better endowed. But it does mean that one can’t infer much reality from the fact that white America surrenders its stereotypes about black men not being good at some particular sport more readily than its stereotypes about black men being particularly violent and sexually out of control.
“When it comes to rape, the situation is terribly murky. Most African nations have populations with a median age of about 19. Some are lower — 17. Meanwhile, the expected lifespan of people in these countries is usually no more than 50.”
Which would tend to lead one to expect that most African countries would have a higher reported rape rate than countries where the average population is older (since crimes of violence tend to be committed by young men), but in fact that turns out not to be the case. Here are rapes by country:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita
South Africa leads the way, and, in case anyone wants to use these to draw inferences of genetic predisposition, it’s nice to see that the country of my own ancestors, Greece, has a relatively low rape rate. But it turns out that Australia’s right up there behind South Africa, while Zambia’s rate is lower than that of most countries.
I’m not sure how reliable country comparisons are, given that reporting rates may well vary widely from one country to another, but, such as they are, they don’t point to black men as black men being especially rape prone, but rather to the conclusion that any racial differences in rape rates that exist on average in any particular time and place are probably highly contingent to that time and place.

If rape conviction rates in the US correlated with, for example, low income, it would make sense of the contradictory facts that black men get convicted more often for rape without areas with high black populations actually having higher numbers of rapes. Maybe in any given area it is either the case that low income men are committing proportionally more rapes, or that men who can’t afford good attorneys are proportionally worse at getting themselves acquitted (and therefore, people being rational at assessing their odds, probably also more likely to get reported, arrested, and indicted).

Criminal justice statisticians readily admit that comparing crime rates by country is virtually useless. This is because of different perceptions of what constitutes a crime, methods of criminal justice, traditional cultural dependence or lack thereof on the criminal justice system, how accessible an individual system is to victims of crimes such as rape, how much easier it is to report rape in a country where women possess basic human rights versus a country where clitoral amputation is still practiced, etc.
On the surrender of stereotypes, what interests me about this discussion is not the opportunity to prove or disprove that one race is more peaceful or violent than the other, I’m not a barbarian, but instead the attempt to draw a path to at least one place where these perceptions originate. Why blame civilian white people, and thereby hypocritically suggest that they possess some social malfunction based on their race, when it’s the government that’s reinforcing these perceptions with THEIR data. If a white person goes to the DOJ web-site and sees that a DOJ survey concluded over a 5 year span that proportionate to white men, black men commit a significantly higher level of violent crimes, what do you expect the perception to be? How does one surrender the “stereotype” when it’s so readily confirmed by the “man?” If the figures are bogus, blame them and their practices, not me.

Eric, one problem is that a Caucasian who speaks Spanish does not, by virtue of his language, become another ethnicity.

In other words, just because you can pull a few Latino’s out of the hat that don’t fit into your idea of the classical Caucasian “look” doesn’t mean that their self-identification as Caucasians is suspect.
Do you really assume that whenever the crime statistics seem high for Whites, that the real problem is that too many Latino’s (or others) are identified as White, and that these people are the real problem? Are there really so few “pure White” criminals in the world? How about all the trailer parks, and hick posse’s, and biker meth gangs?

You’re the one making assumptions about me. I never said that I believe that white crime numbers are relatively high and I never said that those numbers are spiked by the confusing state of what whiteness entails in modern America. I simply threw out the idea in order to remind people that whiteness is a pretty abstract and subjective concept in America.
However, if Los Angeles County starts placing Hispanic offenders under the come one come all category of white, it’s pretty obvious that white crime numbers will increase and can then be considered skewed. If the same method of classification was applied on a nationwide basis the same thing would happen but on a lower level. This is not because I’m attributing a higher level of anti-social behavior to Hispanics, but instead because Hispanics comprise a large portion of LA county’s population and a significant portion of America’s general population while being every bit as prone to criminal behavior as anyone else. Without delving into Hispanic crime rates, I believe this and assume this with a high degree of confidence. It’s common sense. By the same token, if white crime started being labeled Hispanic crime I would fully expect Hispanic crime numbers to go up.
Outside of being white and defending white people in a forum where they’re being illogically dog-piled, I’m not sure what I did to make you assume that I’m filled with ingrained, racist assumptions.

The way most people try to make sense of ethnic crime statistics (including rape) is totally wrong in the first place. The vast majority of amateur analysis done is based on a totally faulty understanding of what the figures actually indicate.
1) If the statistics show that rape is proportionally higher among black men, then more black men must be committing rape.
UNTRUE: The statistics are not counting people, but incidents. The figures could just as well be indicating that those who do rape, within this community, are more active. That doesn’t make much difference to the community in which the rapes are occurring, but it does make a difference when making assumptions about the higher PERCENTAGES of black men who are rapists. But why would the rapists in this community be more active? Maybe it’s easier to get away with rape, in that neiborhood, based on what crimes the police are prioritizing. It probably has nothing to do with melanin.
2) If rape statistics are high in a certain neighborhood, then the risk of being raped in that neighborhood is also high for the White women who work there.
UNTRUE: Further statistics may reveal that all of the reported rapes took place between the hours of 9:00 pm and 4:00 am, or they might indicate that 92% of the incidents were date rape. So, if a white woman is not out on a date between the hours of 9:00 -1:00, she may be statistically, just as safe as she would be in her own neighborhood.
3) Higher rape statistics, in a given ethnic community, mean that there is a higher “chance” that a person of that ethnicity will be a rapist.
UNTRUE: If someone is not a rapist, there is a 0% chance of him raping you. The fact that rape numbers (by percetage of population) are higher in the black community than in the white community, does not make any individual black man more likely to rape anybody.
All of this should be obvious, but you’d be surprised by how many people seem to miss it.

I mostly agree. I mainly offered that link because other people in the thread had already dragged in rape levels in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in South Africa, both of which countries, for different reasons, are highly unrepresentative of Africa as a whole when it comes to rape statistics.
I would qualify the “virtually useless,” though, by saying that in some cases, comparisons of crime rates in the US with crime rates in relatively culturally similar countries (such as the UK, Canada, and Australia) might be informative (but you’d still have to be aware that there could be multiple reasons for whatever differences you’d find).
On the surrender of stereotypes, what interests me about this discussion is not the opportunity to prove or disprove that one race is more peaceful or violent than the other, I’m not a barbarian, but instead the attempt to draw a path to at least one place where these perceptions originate.
It’s hard for me to tell, in this discussion, which people are actually arguing for the stereotypes and which may be making more limited points about statistics and perceptions. I don’t get the impression that Uncle Milton is arguing for the stereotypes, but I’m pretty sure at least some of the people in the thread are (even aside from obviously trolling remarks like the last one by Peter Lerman).
Why blame civilian white people, and thereby hypocritically suggest that they possess some social malfunction based on their race
I’m a cultural determinist all around when it comes to racial differences (less thoroughly so when it comes to gender differences), so I don’t think white people have any unusual social malfunctions that people of other races lack (similarly, of course, for black people). On the other hand, I don’t think the “black man as likely rapist” stereotype is primarily drawn from BOJ statistics, as a) most people don’t know or look at those statistics, and b) most people who do look at them, do so only to promote the position they already hold.
Rather, I think that the stereotype draws support from several general human biases: 1) the tendency to think better of our group than not our group, however “our group” may be defined at any given time, 2) a tendency not to distinguish very well at all between “group A is overrepresented in category B” and “most people of category B are part of group A,” so that, once people conclude, whether correctly or not, that a higher percentage of group A do such-and-such, they then recklessly generalize further, and 3) a tendency to side with the winner (so, since black people obviously fare worse than white people in various ways in the US, they have to be doing something wrong, relative to white people). (I suppose, for this particular stereotype, I should add the “group A is coming to get our women” bias, one that does crop up in other cases than white people’s fears about black men, even if white people’s fears about black men provide a particularly obvious instance of it.)
They aren’t special white people biases, but general human ones; I figure that, everything that annoys me about black people, white people would also be doing in their shoes, and every time they get frustrated that we just don’t get it, they wouldn’t get it any better if they were in our shoes.
Do you really believe that those Latinos self-identified as white?
Some Latinos identify as white, and some don’t; the boundaries of whiteness get fuzzy when it comes to the “Latino” and “Middle Eastern” categories.

On the street, it never pays to base your choices on a single criterion.

Jesse Jackson once said that when he sees two young black men coming towards him, he crosses the street. But that only proves what a sheltered lifestyle Jackson lives and that he has lost his instincts if ever he had any.
If you have lived in the big city for a while then you become wise to clues: dress, demeanor, body language, your “spidey sense”. Basing your decisions on skin color alone could cost you your life.
Also, statistics — and they are what they are — must not dictate how I approach a stranger. Every human being starts out with the presumption of innocence. If you have lost the ability to give people the benefif of the doubt, you have lost your hiumanity.
Staistics can be important when deciding on matters of public policy. For example, claims of a white-led “holocaust” against black people based on their much higher incarceration rate can be brushed off by simply pointing to their higher crime rate.
But, the points made by Alte are always valid. You have to grab any and every item of data that you can and then integrate to get a rounded picture. Beware of over-simplification.

Close. White males who grow up fatherless are more trouble-prone than those from in-tact families.
Where does that view take the debate? How is fatherlessness prevented?
How do you define “fatherlessness.”? Does it mean having a mystery dad? An anonymous father, or one the mother will not identify? A father in prison? Perhaps a known father who abandoned mother and child? A dead father?

TBH, I never thought of rape as a “black thing.” The crimes I associated more often with blacks (a certain segment) were gangs and drugs. In the city where I grew up, all the rapists I heard of in the news were white, and their victims were almost always white too. Which made sense to me, since although the city was only about half white, the surrounding towns are almost all white. When I moved to a majority black town, I rarely heard of rape; mainly robberies and such. So, if I think about, rape to me was a “white thing.” It’s only until I came to this blog that I began seeing rape associated with black men almost exclusively.

Same here. In all the black neighbourhoods I have lived in or know of rape was never a big issue. If it was a rough part of town it was more drugs and shootings and sometimes prostitution. So when I was talking about drug violence on another thread and RR suddenly wanted to change the subject to black rape – he even called it an epidemic – it seemed VERY ODD to me. Because in my experience it was only white men who make it into a big issue like that.
I do not want to belittle rape, of course. It is a terrible thing. But “black rape”, as opposed to just “rape”, is a white way of looking at it. It is not something that was started by people reading DOJ reports, nor did it start with drug prohibition. It started shortly after the slaves were freed when whites were afraid of all the black men who were suddenly “on the loose”. They STILL have that fear – which is, I think, a big reason so many black men are in prison. But that is another post which I hope to write.

Maybe you need this explained for you slowly. The majority of rape incidents in the United States are committed by White people. So, when you turn on your T.V., or open your newspaper, or check your local crime report, most of the rapes will have been committed by a White assailant.
Black rape is higher PER CAPITA, which means that in order to even understand that it’s higher, you have to make an incident to population calculation—you have to do some math.
So, the times that you hear about a White rapist is not rare, since those are the majority of the rapes in America. But it’s interesting that you think that it is.

If you went on to explain how even after hundreds of years of slavery, this displaced ethnic group was treated as a permanent racial underclass for another century.

Yes. Not all white perceptions of black crime are elevated way out of whack to what crimes black people actually commit. Still somewhat out of whack, given the general human tendency to be biased toward our own, but not totally out of whack, because there’s some crimes that a certain segment of blacks do commit more. But rape is off in its own category, with a certain segment of white people convinced that black people rape all out of proportion to how often they actually do, and that white people fail to rape all out of proportion to how often they actually do.

”Based simply on the arrest numbers, it seems that black men in America commit rape at a higher rate than white men.”
This was the issue at hand. You and many others seem to be under the impression that black crime is a figment of an overactive racist imagination, as if most racists are unhinged. The stereotypes of black criminality do have some basis in reality. That is why the stereotypes persist.
”But that does not prove that black men are more given to rape BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK.”
I don’t quite get what you mean by this. The statistical reality is that black American men rape more often, on average, than white American men in the US. Are you saying that the rape differentials with respect to race don’t have anything to do with race?
”Also, whatever the rate is at which black men rape women, WHITE MEN are STILL BY FAR the BIGGER THREAT – PARTICULARLY TO WHITE WOMEN.”
While true in absolute numbers, this statement glosses over the very real racial differences in crime rates. By your line of reasoning, parents are the biggest threat to children. The reality is that some parents are more at risk of abusing their children than other groups of parents. This is similar with rape. Demographics matter. If a single woman is looking to rent an apartment, she would be well advised to take crime statistics into account when making her decision to move into a particular neighborhood.
For example, if I measured something repeatedly and got like 1.25, 1.23, 1.25, 1.20 and 1.27, an average would probably be closer to the true value.
But if the numbers are all over the place, like 0.3, 5.0, 1.0, 2.3 and 4.7, an average would be meaningless.
This isn’t necessarily true. Both sets of numbers could be bogus or true, depending on the circumstances of the measurement. How well correlated are the numbers to the item being measured?
If black rapists were some huge threat they would know it more clearly than whites would.
You have created a straw man. The problem of black rape is not presented as being a huge threat to the white race. The problem of black crime in general is not presented as a huge threat to the white race. Black crime, including rape, is, nonetheless, a significant problem. Black crime is especially problematic given the widespread assumption that all races are the same. What is one to do when presented with data that blatantly challenges this assumption? What are we to do with this racially inspired cognitive dissonance? The hullaballoo over race no doubt seems irrational to you because you believe that the concept of race is specious in itself. Others of us view things more realistically. And realism requires a clear-eyed analysis of our situation, regardless of whether some feelings might get hurt.
I am pretty sure that there are way more black-on-white rapes than white-on-black rapes in America. Simply because most rape is done by people the victim already knows. It is widely observed in the States that black men date white women at way higher rates than white men date black women. So that alone would drive up the rates of black-on-white rape.
But then why don’t we see the same pattern with Asian men? Asian men in this country are more likely to know/date/marry white women than are black men (http://www.asian-nation.org/interracial.shtml), but Asian on white rape is almost unheard of.
But does that mean black men are more given to rape? Hardly. It just means they have more opportunity.
But black men seem to make their opportunities. Also, you are conflating interracial rape with rape in general. In general, black men are more given to rape, statistically speaking, than white men are.

You individual experiences, while important, don’t bear directly on the issue we are addressing here. We are discussing aggregates and averages. I happen to know many black men of sterling character also. This doesn’t change the fact that we (black men) commit more violent crime, like rape, on a percentage basis, than other groups of men do.
On the other hand, it fits very neatly with the ordinary human bias we all have to believe we’re better than other people in the qualities we find important
Humans are a highly competitive, status seeking species, so I agree with you. But humans are also, generally speaking, rational. Outright falsehoods, whether flattering to the collective ego or not, are eventually exposed for what they are. It is my belief that racial stereotypes persist because they contain some truth.
On the other hand, the WM/BW rate you’re getting from the 2007 data still looks surprisingly low to me, and leaves me wondering if these rapes are particularly unlikely to get reported.
Perhaps the crimes are being underreported. The methodology of the BJS might very well be flawed, but why wouldn’t black on white rape be similarly underreported? Also, the BJS reports that black criminals are about 50% less likely to have victimized a relative or intimate than white criminals and that younger men generally are more likely to victimize a stranger than older men (black men are younger on average than white men). Page 16 of Survey of State Prison Inmates (http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/SOSPI91.PDF)
Consider, for example, the fact that white men appear to be more heavily represented, relative to black men, as child molesters (http://childprotection.lifetips.com/cat/63573/sex-offender-statistics/index.html)
It could be true. I went to the link you specified, but the link itself did not provide a reference for the data. While trying to verify this, I ran across a number of links that referred to the Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991 (http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/SOSPI91.PDF ) to support the assertion that 70% of convicted child molesters were white. I searched the document, albeit cursorily, but could not find anything supporting the statement that 70% of convicted child molesters were white. If you find a BJS document supporting your assertion, please cite the reference.
white women are more likely to think they’ll be believed about being raped by black men than black women are to think they’ll be believed about being raped by white men
Maybe, but this seems unlikely to me. It seems to me that the police have a tendency to go out of their way to pursue white victimizers of blacks, as evidenced most recently in the Duke Rape Hoax (http://www.vdare.com/stix/070113_duke.htm).
Also, any disparity that does exist, independent of bias, could have various causes (e.g. if the crime is one particularly likely to be committed by young men, then any race whose population skews younger will commit relatively more of that crime), so, there could be racial differences that would go away if you controlled for age, or income, or some other factor.
Ok, but so what? It does not minimize the reality of crime or the reality of the racial disparity. Ron Unz recently made this argument in the American Conservative with respect to Hispanic crime. If age is positively correlated with crime and a given population is on average younger than typical, what difference does it make to crime victims or to people looking to move into safe neighborhoods?
you still don’t have a source immune to bias (that doesn’t exist in this sort of area)
The idea was not to assume bias was eliminated, but to select a crime category, like rape, in which bias was minimized.

I disagree with that.”
Alte is correct. Rape statistics represent raw datum. The problem comes when people think that they have the ability to draw broad conclusions from the figures without applying the necessary controls that would be necessarily applied in a peer-reviewed academic model. (a key question to always ask is whether the people who actually collected the data came to the same conclusions as the amateur theorist, or is this their very own idea, imposed upon someone else’s numbers)
The rank amateur usually takes very limited information (totally raw numbers) and without testing for extenuating circumstances, and/or alternate causal effects, they extrapolate conclusions based on their own held theories. This creates a hybrid of scientifically gathered datum, filtered through thoroughly unscientific methodology, which, of course, produces unscientific conclusions.
In other words, it’s what stupid people do when they’re given access to numbers that they don’t understand. Now, I don’t think that you’re stupid, but I’d certainly apply that assessment to a few people up the thread.
For example, if I were to tell you that most crimes were committed by right-handed people, would you be surprised? But what if I told you that left-handed people commit less crimes, but at a higher rate, as compared to their percentage of the population?
Would you draw the conclusion that “leftness” is some kind of indicator or criminal propensity, or would you think it an interesting fact, but worthy of a lot more study before any such conclusions were drawn?
What if I were to tell you that most crimes were committed by people under six feet tall, or by men with dark hair, or by people who weigh less than 190 pounds, or by those 35 and younger?
OK, so what if I told you that individuals with a certain amount of melanin in their skin committed a higher percentage of crimes, as compared to their percentage of the population? Are you still ready to draw your conclusions, or are you ready to defer your judgements, and start asking more questions, as Alte is suggesting?

There are fewer Asian men than black men in this country, so, however much more higher the percentage of Asian men may know/date/marry white women than the percentage of black men who do, you still get practically twice as many white women married to black men as to Asian men. Hence, from the white woman’s point of view, more black men than Asian men who have social access to her.

It turns out to be amazingly difficult to find any sort of offender characteristics for child sex abuse crimes on the BJS site; I’m giving up on searching, since exactly how many white men are pedophiles is a side issue in this thread anyway. It also turns out that most references I find at medical sites profiling pedophile characteristics fail to give any racial data at all; I gave up searching there, as well. I did manage to find nice sexy pictures of black men with blonde women while doing my search; those turn out to be lots easier to find on Google than well referenced crime statistics of any kind.

While trying to verify this, I ran across a number of links that referred to the Survey of State Prison Inmates, 1991 (http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/SOSPI91.PDF ) to support the assertion that 70% of convicted child molesters were white. I searched the document, albeit cursorily, but could not find anything supporting the statement that 70% of convicted child molesters were white.
I can’t find it, either, skimming the document (though maybe whatever phrase they’re referencing is just so little emphasized that it takes more than skimming to find it). I did see information that would be consistent with a higher representation of white offenders among child molesters than among other offenses (e.g. white offenders more likely to know their victims, which tends to be true of child molesters), and also, what surprised me more, this, on page 15:
However, don’t completely despair of getting any racial data on child molesting; I did find for you this reference:
http://www.mincava.umn.edu/documents/sexoff/sexoff.html
In it, Lawrence A. Greenfeld, Statistician, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, reports on “Sex Offenses and Offenders: An Analysis of Data on Rape and Sexual Assault.” The relevant bit is the comparison between racial data for rape and racial data for “other sexual offenses,” which I figure would be where all the child molesting would go. If you do a search of the document, you should be able to find the following:
So, black men, for whatever reason, are proportionally more likely to get convicted of rape, and white men, for whatever reason, are proportionally more likely to get convicted of “other sexual offenses,” according to a Bureau of Justice statistician.
With that, I’m going to retire from this thread, since there’s only so much searching of crime statistics I’m willing to do on a sunny California day.

Are you really this obtuse? Extermination is not the same thing as exclusion/marginalization. Extermination is far worse, but exclusion results in a different outcome. If a person survives and attempt at extermination, then they may recover (financially and socially) but if you define a person as less intelligent, and incapable of certain achievements, then they cannot recover in the society until those ideas have been defeated. Each case of an ethnic group being oppressed (or exterminated) by White people is different. The Jews who lived in America, during WWII were not being exterminated and were thus, still able to conduct business that Black people were excluded from.
I’m not saying that all the problems of Black American are the results of White oppression, because Black culture has a lot to answer for, as well. But just let’s not forget the overall context in which these things occur.

I don’t believe you think victims of rape are lying. I think you allow for the possibility of a victims misperception of her attacker’s race. It seems to me that you believe these sorts of misperceptions are rampant among black women who have participated in the victim surveys.
Regarding arrests, and let’s look at arrests as separate from convictions, it requires a woman (a black woman in this case), to report a crime (rape) before the police attempt to find an alleged perpetrator. My point is that, assuming an alleged victim is not lying about having been attacked and she identifies a black man as her attacker, then a black man has committed rape. The police might arrest the wrong individual or the woman may ID the wrong black guy, but the race of the alleged perp will not change and the reality of his crime (assuming the crime actually occurred) will not change. This is why arrest rates wrt rape are important. It gives some indication of who/whom: who does what to whom. It seems to me that very few women would lie to the police about rape. It does happen, obviously, but my impression is that it is an infrequent occurrence. So, if an outsized number of black women report that they were raped by black men, it gives some indication of the prevalence of rape among blacks.

List of Rape Myths
Myth: “Most offenders are African-American men.
Fact: Over 90% of sexual assaults occur between people of the same ethnic or racial background. The myth of the black rapist is rooted to the racist history of our country.

I have to strongly disagree with your assertion that black men have more social access to white women than Asian men do. Black men have higher rates of incarceration than Asian men, which obviously removes them from the dating pool for white woman. Black men also have higher mortality rates which has a tendency to lessen black male/white female interaction. Then there is the issue of college attendance and employment, areas in which Asian men have proven themselves to be much more eligible than black men. Given these facts, I think white women are much more likely to encounter Asian men in their social circles than black men.
You wrote:
“So, black men, for whatever reason, are proportionally more likely to get convicted of rape, and white men, for whatever reason, are proportionally more likely to get convicted of “other sexual offenses,” according to a Bureau of Justice statistician.”
I agree with the first part of your statement, but the second part is questionable. Minnesota, as of the 2000 census, was 92% white. Blacks constituted approximately 4% of the population. So, even if 75% of those convicted of “other sexual offenses” were white, whites would be disproportionally underrepresented in this category. The document does not give the figure for the percentage of blacks convicted of “other sexual offenses”, but I think we can safely assume that, given the disproportionally high percentage of blacks convicted of rape in Minnesota (10x their share of the population), it is at least double the percentage of the black population in the state. So, on a percentage basis, blacks are more likely to get convicted of “other sexual offenses” than whites.

Average folk don’t need all that mumbo-jumbo. Most of us aren’t all that interested in the causes of crime. We just want to be safe from it.

” But what if I told you that left-handed people commit less crimes, but at a higher rate, as compared to their percentage of the population?
Would you draw the conclusion that “leftness” is some kind of indicator or criminal propensity, or would you think it an interesting fact, but worthy of a lot more study before any such conclusions were drawn?
Now you are cookin’ with gas! That’s the ticket. Jump on the RR crime avoidance funk train wit yo bad slef! I most certainly WOULD think left-handedness was an indicator of criminal propensity, ON AVERAGE. If there was an at a glance indicator of handedness and lefties were to live among themselves in particular neighborhoods, I would probably avoid those neighborhoods. Of course, this would be dependent on the degree of correlation between left-handedness and crime. If lefties only committed 5% more crime than righties, then the correlation would be an interesting fact. If it were 30%, that would be startling, and I would avoid crowds of lefties. Of course, some of my best friends are lefties. I happen to be a product of a mixed-handed marriage and I am ambidextrous, which allows me to relate to my downtrodden lefty brothers. Maybe, one day, I will run for president so the country can transcend handedness. I had a dream that one day left-handed children and right-handed children will all come to together and soul clap to the tune of that old Negro spiritual “Car Wash”, by Rose Royce. I love that song! I know all the words. I’ll clap and sing it at odd times. My wife thinks I’m crazy, but what does she know. She is a lefty!
OK, so what if I told you that individuals with a certain amount of melanin in their skin committed a higher percentage of crimes, as compared to their percentage of the population? Are you still ready to draw your conclusions, or are you ready to defer your judgements, and start asking more questions, as Alte is suggesting?
Alte is not asking the right type of questions. Alte seeks to dodge the reality of racial differences by assuming that everything is related to everything and that nothing can be concluded until everything is known. My questions, in order of importance, would be the following:
1)To what degree are the high melanin folks committing crime. Is it 5% more than the typical group? 30% more? 50% more?
2)Are we talking about people of West African descent? Which group has the greatest percentage of melanin?

That’s because you’re perversely failing to understand what I actually said.

Unless you assume that white women are strangely eager to marry men to whom they have no social access, you have to figure that the absolute number of black men with social access to white women is probably larger than the absolute number of Asian men with social access to white women, and that any interactions, good or bad, from the white woman’s point of view ought to show more black than Asian men.

Misperceptions aren’t common just in this context; they are common across crimes and situations. So I don’t think people are any more or any less likely to make errors (which are often subconscious) in this situation than in any other.
I’m still confused about your point on arrests. Let’s say one neighborhood has 10 arrests a day, and another one has 3 arrests a day. Neighborhood B seems safer, until you find out that those 10 arrests are of the same person in Neighborhood A, while those 3 arrests are all different people in Neighborhood B. Arrests are not discrete, so number of arrests does not equal number of perpetrators. And that still doesn’t solve the problem of arrests not equaling convictions. (We could go on about how being found “guilty” in court is not equal to “guilt” in the objective sense of actually having committed the crime one is accused of, but I think you get the idea.)

A common fallacy actually. The “mumbo jumbo” of a statistician making sense of the statistics is the only thing that stops us from making stupid assumptions based on our own uninformed interpretations. The big problem is that people think that simple = straightforward. Often, it does not. If the subject of study is complicated, or nuanced, then the truth about it may be just as complexed.
“Now you are cookin’ with gas! That’s the ticket. Jump on the RR crime avoidance funk train wit yo bad slef! I most certainly WOULD think left-handedness was an indicator of criminal propensity, ON AVERAGE.”
Yes, but you would be wrong. Left-handedness would not be an indicator of criminal propensity. ON AVERAGE doesn’t really mean anything, on an individual level. It seems as if you are leaning toward the idea of collective responsibility.
It’s as if there were two large families, one with 8 brothers, and another with 12. Let’s call them the Johnsons (8) and the Smiths (12) Now, let’s say that 3 of the Johnson boys were criminals, and 4 of Smith boys were as well.
Now, just imagine if the Smiths went around town saying, that you couldn’t trust the Johnsons, because they are criminal types. Some people would be bound to point out that the Smiths had criminals in their family too. But then the Smiths would angrily argue that a LARGER PERCENTAGE of the Johnsons were criminals. Can you see where I’m going?
So, some of the people in town (like you) began to do the math, and discovered that although the Smiths had more total criminals in the family, that the Johnsons had a higher percentage of criminals in theirs, because they has a smaller family than the Smiths. So they decided that in order to be safe, they should just avoid ALL the Johnsons. The other Johnson brothers pleaded that they were not criminals, and were, in fact, the biggest victims of their brother’s crimes. But hey… they had the same last name so…
Based on the raw statistics, it was more likely that a Johnson would rob you than anyone else in town. The Johnson family crime figures were the highest, PER CAPITA, although, as an inconsequential aside, the Smiths actually stole more stuff by sheer volume.
And that is how your amateur statistics work out. Now a professional might suggest that you forget about identifying the threat based on race… oops, I meant family name, and simply identify which brothers of each family were actually criminals and which were not.
But, as you said, average folks don’t need that mumbo jumbo.

In Table 42, entitled “Personal crimes of violence, 2005, percent distribution of single-offender victimisation’s, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender,” we learn that there were 111,590 white victims and 36,620 black victims of rape or sexual assault in 2005. (The number of rapes is not distinguished from those of sexual assaults; it is maddening that sexual assault, an ill-defined category that covers various types of criminal acts ranging from penetration to inappropriate touching, is conflated with the more specific crime of rape.) In the 111,590 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was white, 44.5 percent of the offenders were white, and 33.6 percent of the offenders were black.
In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.

During 2005, over 100 White women were raped by black male strangers in the US.
Per capita, blacks are the most crime prone and violent race in America. For every 3 blacks you meet, 1 will end up in jail. Think about that: Almost 33%.
I’ve done plenty of research into this.

Lynn Gazis-Sax,
I think I did understand you correctly (and even if I didn’t, I don’t see what would be perverse about such a view). The problem is that your explanation was flawed. You wrote:
” I said that, for any given white woman, the number of black men who have social access to her will on average be larger than the number of Asian men who have social access to her, and that the reason for this is the fact that there are more black men than Asian men in the US. “
You are assuming that exposure is tantamount to access. A given white woman might be more casually exposed to black men in a setting such as a train station, a store or on the street than Asian men due to the differences in population numbers, but exposure is not the same as social access. This is especially true in highly racially segregated areas, which holds for most of the US. Many people meet their significant others in one of four places:
1) At school.
2) At work.
3) Where they live.
4) Where they play.
Being that Asian men are, generally speaking, more integrated than black men in terms of education, employment, law abidedness, and locality, I believe that Asian men have more social access to white women than black men do. Additionally, people tend to socialize with and date/marry people of similar intellectual temperament and achievement. Given that the IQ difference between blacks and whites is greater than the difference between whites and Asians, whites are more likely to encounter Asians socially than they are likely to encounter blacks.
And the evidence for this is the fact that, if you look at percentages of white women in interracial marriages (rather than percentages of Asian or black men marrying white women), you find that a higher percentage of white women are married to black men than to Asian men.
Of course. It stands to reason that since black male/white female couples out-number Asian male/white female couples that a higher percentage of white women marry black men than Asian men. You are not really making much of a point. A more germane argument could be made with respect to the interracial access rate for black men and black women. Black women, due to their higher high school attendance and graduation rates, higher college attendance and graduation rates, higher employment rates, lower incarceration rates, lower addiction rates, and lower mortality rates, have higher social access to whites than black men do. Yet, despite this, black men date and marry whites at a significantly higher percentage than black women do. The absolute numbers are higher also, and this with a slightly smaller population of black males compared to black females.
Unless you assume that white women are strangely eager to marry men to whom they have no social access, you have to figure that the absolute number of black men with social access to white women is probably larger than the absolute number of Asian men with social access to white women, and that any interactions, good or bad, from the white woman’s point of view ought to show more black than Asian men.
You are making a wild assumption here. As I showed with the case of black women, increased social access does not necessarily translate into increased dating/marriage rates or increases in absolute numbers of pairings. The converse is true for the Asian male/white female and black male/white female comparison. Increased absolute marriage numbers do not necessarily translate into greater social access. It could mean that black men are more successful with white women than their marital eligibility numbers (education, employment, incarceration etc.) would indicate, as compared to Asian men, who nonetheless, marry white women at greater rates than black men.
Even if we were to assume that what you say is true (that black men have more social access to white women than Asian men do), it still doesn’t explain why Asian men don’t rape white women to any measurable extent. This is true in areas with lots of horny eligible Asian guys and lots of hard drinking white women, like Northern California or Wall Street.
You’re assuming that the data is from Minnesota, because the URL is at the University of Minnesota, but it looks to me as if the University of Minnesota is reporting on national data. The country as a whole isn’t 92% white. More like two thirds white.

Your argument just went off the rails. How would I avoid all Johnsons? Those bastards might find me, despite my efforts. I have a better hypothetical situation:
What if there was a town composed of two families: one large extended family that inbred to some degree named White and another large extended family that inbred to some degree named Black. The Whites numbered 100k while the Blacks numbered 13k. These Whites and Blacks don’t get along so they segregate themselves in separate contiguous areas of town. Due to the nature of the work, you are required to live in this town. As you are researching neighborhoods, you discover that the Whites were responsible for 58% of violent crime in town. The Blacks were responsible for 42% of violent crime. Again, remembering that the town is highly segregated and the neighborhoods are contiguous, which area do you choose to live in?
I will tell you what my wife would do. She would realize that, despite the fact that the Whites commit a larger percentage of violent crime and are more numerous than the Blacks, she would run the numbers and discover that the rate of violent crime committed by the Blacks was 6.5 times that of the Whites. She would insist that, if we had to live in this town that we live with the Whites, because the probability of becoming a victim is lower on the White side of town than on the Black side. Note that my wife’s decision would have nothing to do with individuals. She would be playing the averages, like most people, but her decision would probably keep us safer than the alternative.

Um, your whole argument for why white women should experience a larger number of rapes by Asian men than by black men, as stated upthread, was:
Asian men in this country are more likely to know/date/marry white women than are black men
So, the fact that white women make up a larger percentage of the Asian men’s dating population is supposed to be relevant, but the fact that black men make up a larger percentage of white women’s dating population, is supposed to be totally irrelevant? Has nothing whatsoever to do with who white women are more often alone with? The fact that black men make up a larger percentage of the population as a whole than Asian men is also irrelevant? There should be more Asian men raping white women than black men raping white women, even though there are way more black men than Asian men in the US to begin with, because Asian men score higher than average on some IQ test?
Your argument doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Frankly, given what Abagond says about the size of the samples and the low numbers that leaves for any of the interracial rape categories, I’d be surprised if they get enough Asian-Americans in the sample to make interracial rape estimates involving them at all statistically useful. There’s only so much you can get out of a sample of a given size, for statistical groupings that are going to be small to begin with; it’s just not going to be a sample large enough to draw statistically significant conclusions about the things you’re trying to read into it.

If 36,620 rapes and sexual crimes (they don’t separate them out) are black perps from a 14 million population, versus 111,490 White sex crimes from a 100 million + population (including hispanics), then the PER CAPITA situation shows itself to anyone with a clear brain.

You see, once you’ve calculated that black people, en masse, are a threat, then you should avoid the threat to the best of your ability.
So, in addition to certainly not moving into a black neighborhood, you should also:
1) Not hire any black people at your place of business.
2) Not allow black people into your social clubs
3) Keep blacks out of your schools!
4) Refuse business with blacks, unless absolutely necessary
5) OBVIOUSLY don’t EVER marry one!!!
It’s unklanny! All of this makes perfect sense, once you paint all African-Americans with the same black brush, and assume them to be a threat, based on the DOJ figures on black criminals.
OR you can assume that criminality is a behavior, not a racial feature.

That would be a nice analogy… if this was 1950, but we don’t live like that today (in most of America). You’re presenting a false choice.
Instead of making decisions based purely on melanin, you should do what Alte recommends—get more information! Because there probably isn’t one amorphous black community but many, and there will be great differences between them, depending on education, income, religion, and countries of origin. Instead of taking a vast generalized racial category, (which was never meant to be used for house hunting) you should look at all of the factors that you would in any other community, and if it matches your criteria, then the skin color of the people is not going to make a difference. Well-educated, upper middle class black people are just as “safe” as upper middle class white people—even per capita. Do I really need to tell you this?
All of your “probabilities” are based on being too lazy to look beyond simple color. All white neighborhoods are not safe, and all black neighborhoods are not unsafe, and most neighborhoods are both. It doesn’t really matter which race can claim more safe neighborhoods, what matters is that you pick one of them.

Black America is far from perfect and not all of its ills are rooted in racism. And the way some of that stuff hits the headlines is in the form of crime. I have NEVER denied that crime was not a serious issue. I think Alte is on to something when she talks about fatherlessness though I would not go as far with it as she does.
Side note: There was a time when I believed that 60% of the bad in black society came from fatherlessness, 40% from racism. It fit what I saw and my Catholic beliefs. I think that is just where Alte is at now (she is Catholic too). But then in reading about the Maori and the Sioux, and the experience of being a father myself, I saw that racism is at the root of far more of it than even most black people suspect. So now I would put it at 75% racism, 15% fatherlessness, 2% genetics and 8% other stuff.
I think the main thing that separates our views is that you think justice is a natural outcome in American society while I do not. Injustice has been BUILT INTO American society since the 1660s and much of it is STILL THERE. Not so much in the laws anymore as in the way people think and act – thought and behaviour that has its roots in slave days and Jim Crow. Why do black women wear weave? Why does Pat Buchanan talk about black rapists? This stuff does not fall from the sky – it comes STRAIGHT OUT of the past.

Well, there are genetic differences and they do have effects. It is a big reason blacks were brought across the Atlantic in the first place: they stand up better in the face of tropical diseases than whites. Even when Costa Rica wanted to build a railroad to export coffee the only way they could get it done was to hire Jamaicans (not their first choice) – because they did not fall sick so often.

On the other hand, people like RR and Steve Sailer would put the effect of genetics not at 2% but at 60% or more. They think the genetic differences between blacks and whites have profound effects on intelligence and character. That is why they are called scientific racists. They think their racism is rooted in hard science when, in fact, it is pseudo-science, like astrology, UFOs or creationism.

I understand there are some genetic differences. Still, I don’t understand how they contribute to “bad things in black society” as you called it. I don’t see any connection between genetic differences and group behavior, or crime. Sure, a person genetic can contribute to the problem, but it is individual and not race specific.
What I’m saying is, maybe there is a genetic reason black people to be better sprinters (but not swimmers)- I say “maybe” because I am not sure if there is, indeed, any biological reason for this (as the opposite of socio-cultural or economic reasons). Still, it would make some sense, perhaps. But I can’t think of any genetic (biological) reason for black crime, not even 2%, since everything there is social. If an individual has some behavioral problems, they could be genetic, but it has nothing to do with being black.

Blacks have yet to form an Israel. Instead, there is Liberia, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Congo, Sudan, etc.
However, the Nation of Islam continues to demand that the US government carve out a large piece of land inside the continental area and hand it over to blacks, and then provide several decades of financial support for this new nation within a nation.

I agree that there may not be a 1 to 1 correspondence between arrests and number of perpetrators, but your objection misses the point of my argument. From my perspective, it doesn’t matter whether a single rapist attacks 20 women or 20 rapists attack 20 women. That 20 instances of rape were reported would be significant in itself. Arrest rates are significant because they give an indication of the overall level of crime within a community. How efficiently justice is meted out after a crime is committed is another question, which is why conviction rates are irrelevant to our particular discussion.

I think we need to review Abagond’s remark that is the source of our current disagreement. He wrote:
I am pretty sure that there are way more black-on-white rapes than white-on-black rapes in America. Simply because most rape is done by people the victim already knows. It is widely observed in the States that black men date white women at way higher rates than white men date black women. So that alone would drive up the rates of black-on-white rape.
I then raised the question regarding Asian men and rape. Asian men date/marry white women at higher rates than black men, but commit less rape.
You wrote:
but the fact that black men make up a larger percentage of white women’s dating population, is supposed to be totally irrelevant?
It would be relevant if you could prove that black men make up a larger percentage of the average white woman’s dating pool as compared to Asian men. Thus far, you have not proved this. Your argument rests on the fact that black men outnumber Asian men, thus, by your line of reasoning, comprise a greater percentage of the average white woman’s dating pool. I don’t think population numbers translate into social access. I think that white women, like other women, are selective about whom they date and are more likely to date men in who share their social environment. My argument is that black men are less likely to share the social environment of white women than are Asian men for the reasons I stated previously (lower levels of education, higher incarceration rates, higher mortality rates etc.)
There should be more Asian men raping white women than black men raping white women, even though there are way more black men than Asian men in the US to begin with,
I’m not saying Asian men SHOULD rape white women. I raised a question regarding Abagond’s assumption that social access is positively correlated with rape frequency. If his assumption was true, more Asians would be the perpetrators of rape against white women, especially in areas like northern California, where there are lots of young Asian guys and white women, but very few black men. Asians constitute 12% of the population in California and blacks are 6.7%, but blacks were arrested in 18% of sex offenses cases in California in 2005 while Asians were arrested in less than 5.5% of sex offense cases (http://ag.ca.gov/cjsc/publications/candd/cd05/tabs/2005Table31.pdf).
I guess one could argue that none of the statistics can be trusted, so we have to remain agnostic on the question of race and crime. I would prefer not to though, because we live in the real world where probabilities matter. If we continue to dodge the relationship between race and crime, we are denying reality. This denial of reality leads to many other areas of denial. It leads to a host of lies and undermines the faith the public has in our institutions of government.

I realize that the black community is not perfect, but you are under the assumption that white people are the source of the bulk of our problems. You state this belief frequently and very dogmatically, without the slightest shred of evidence. It seems to be a religious belief with you. Take your statement:
So now I would put it [i.e. the cause of black problems] at 75% racism, 15% fatherlessness, 2% genetics and 8% other stuff.
Could you please explain how you arrived at the 75% figure? Do you have any evidence to back up this assertion? Or are you operating from your gut. This is what disturbs me about blacks. We don’t do much real analysis regarding race and have a tendency to rely on emotion and gut instinct rather than numbers. We have a tendency, as all humans do as Lynn pointed out, to dismiss those things that make us look bad as compared to others. I would be for this if this tactic actually helped us, but it doesn’t. It just prevents us from confronting hard realities, that may be within our power to control.

You have jumped from one reasonable area of endeavor, finding a safe place to live based on crimes statistics, to advocating generally discriminatory policies in an attempt to show that all forms of discrimination are equally irrational. Let’s look at your points in turn:
1)Not hire any black people at your place of business.
One could do this and, as you know, this was standard practice in many areas of the US until about 40 years ago. The problem with this is that it denies individual differences. An employer can always interview/test a potential candidate to determine whether there is a good fit.
2)Not allow black people into your social clubs.
This would be problematic. Would blacks be barred from performing in social clubs also? Barring blacks from performing would probably be a bad business decision. Would a social club really benefit from keeping people like Tiger Woods out.
3)Keep blacks out of your schools!
One could do this, but what of it? Given the levels of segregation in this country, that is pretty much the case as it is regarding primary and secondary education.
4) Refuse business with blacks, unless absolutely necessary.
And how would one define absolutely necessary? Would it be like what Koreans or Indians do now? And why might they do that? How does discriminating against blacks help Koreans or Indians?
5) OBVIOUSLY don’t EVER marry one!!!
Maybe, but love is where you find it. Interracial relations are problematic on the macro and micro level. I would have no problem with social prohibitions against interracial marriage, so long as interracial marriage remained legal.
That would be a nice analogy… if this was 1950, but we don’t live like that today (in most of America). You’re presenting a false choice.
This was a hypothetical situation that YOU originally constructed. I just developed it a bit more. The point of the illustration was to demonstrate the usefulness of crime statistics. These statistics are useful. The statistics don’t insure perfect safety, but again, life is a question of probabilities. Where one chooses to live is hardly a false choice. People take levels of crime into consideration all the time when deciding where they should live. And if a person did not have access to crime data for a particular neighborhood, he would probably take race into account in assessing the level of crime he could expect in that neighborhood and it would be reasonable for him to do so.
Instead of making decisions based purely on melanin, you should do what Alte recommends—get more information!
More information would probably not hurt, if one could get the information in a timely fashion, but most prospective home buyers don’t have that kind of time. Crime stats are usually readily available for specific neighborhoods. The level of crime and the quality of schools are good enough for most home buyers when assessing the quality of a neighborhood.
It doesn’t really matter which race can claim more safe neighborhoods, what matters is that you pick one of them.
Yes, but picking one of them involves assessing the level of crime in each neighborhood. If one neighborhood has a higher crime rate, a prospective buyer would be reasonable to take that into consideration. Have you ever been a home buyer? I gather you have never been through this process. You probably don’t have children either.

Let’s review what you said about left-handedness and crime:
RR: “I most certainly WOULD think left-handedness was an indicator of criminal propensity, ON AVERAGE. If there was an, at a glance indicator, of left-handedness, and lefties were to live among themselves, in particular neighborhoods, I would probably avoid those neighborhoods.”
Now, please switch the words “left-handedness” with black.
And here you are again talking about crowds of people on the street.

If you apply the DOJ numbers on black criminals as an indicator of criminal propensity of ALL black neighborhoods or groups of blacks walking on the street, then you are segregating, not only in housing choices, but in life in general.

Not necessarily. One could make generalizations about certain neighborhoods based on race if one didn’t have access to other information, but still view and judge people individually. You are assuming that because one discriminates in one area that one would be obliged to discriminate in all areas. For instance, I don’t believe that women should be allowed to participate in front line troop operations because I don’t believe women are physically or mentally equipped for sustained combat operations. Despite this prejudice, I would have no problem reporting to a female supervisor. Just because I think women are ill equipped for combat doesn’t mean that my bigotry affects other aspects of my social interactions with women. Similarly with whites who are inclined to view blacks as being crime prone. One can generalize with a particular group, yet not extend those generalizations to personal interactions. People are perfectly capable of separating general cases from specific cases, and do so all the time. There is nothing irrational about this.

That doesn’t take into account the situations in which the victim describes an unknown attacker. “He looked like X” would be subject to eyewitness biases. Your point would only apply to acquaintance rapes, in which the woman knew her attacker and identified her by name, not general appearance. I think you made the point earlier that race stacks up on a tally sheet of sorts (i.e., 5 Black men picked up is 5 Black men, regardless of whether any of them did it or not), but then when you start talking about crime rates that gets tricky. I wouldn’t want to live in a neighborhood where the police made a lot of arrests but nearly always arrested the wrong person.
Since we are talking specifically about rapes, I don’t think crime statistics and their implications fit this discussion, since we both agree that few people use rape specifically as a criterion for assessing the criminality of a neighborhood. There is no “cut-off” point for when a neighborhood has “too many rapes to be safe”, probably because rapes are so underreported and no neighborhood is going to have a high enough rape rate (on paper) to deter most people from living there. 15 rapes per 100,000 people isn’t very many, especially if you take into account that the majority of rapes are acquaintance rape. I don’t know if even 100 rapes per 100,000 people (.1%) would phase me personally, because I’m more likely to be assaulted by the guy next door than some guy in the bushes. So I can either get me to a nunnery or accept that the factors involved in rape go way beyong location.

And secondly, the same reasons that you can’t predict for individual behavior, is true when trying to predict for group behavior. If you can’t judge one household based on the D.O.J. report, and the color of their skin, you also can’t judge two houses, or a block of house, or a neighborhood. These groups are made out of individuals. D.O.J. figures were never meant to be used as predictors of criminal probability. It is irrational to try.

I disagree. I explained to Abagond why a discussion of rape is relevant. I’ll quote myself:
It seems to me that white racists and others (like me) use rape to illustrate two points:
1) Rape is a crime in which police bias is minimized – Typically, liberals try to get around the fact that black men commit much more crime than other groups by stating that the police hate black men and consequently are inclined to arrest them disproportionally. White racists circumvent this argument by quoting rape statistics because the police don’t conduct rape sweeps as they do with drugs or guns. Innocent black men are not ensnared in this fashion with respect to rape, thus it provides a clearer picture of criminal propensity.
2) Rape is a crime in which blacks (for the sake of argument, blacks in this context means American blacks) are disproportionately represented among the perpetrators and victims (referring to male/female rape).

I don’t know what kind of world you inhabit, but from my perspective, your scenario didn’t work. Not only is your scenario unrealistic (not that it was supposed to be, since I assumed it was hypothetical), it failed to prove your point. My scenario at least supported my contention that crime statistics in and of themselves, provide useful information. And here is my definition of useful:
“being of use or service; serving some purpose;
advantageous, helpful, or of good effect”
So yes, in my scenario, the statistics were useful. And yes, crime statistics are useful to home buyers.
Being that I have actually gone through the process of researching neighborhoods and schools before a home purchase, I really have found crime statistics useful, as have most other people who have gone through the process. You sound naïve to me.
Firstly, one always has access to other information, there is no point in hypothesizing the impossible.
Wow! You really are presumptuous! There are many times when one has very limited information at a particular time and a particular setting and a quick decision is required. It happens all the time (just ask a cop). You are obviously not very well acquainted with the impossible.
And secondly, the same reasons that you can’t predict for individual behavior, is true when trying to predict for group behavior.
You are wrong. Standardized tests like the SAT, LSAT, GRE etc., predict first year grades quite well (relative to other measures) for individuals and groups (for blacks, these tests have a tendency to over-predict first year grades, but that is another thread). Baseball statistics are very useful in predicting future performance both at the individual level and at the team level (Bill James has made a fortune parsing baseball stats for teams and has been quite successful) I think I understand you. You don’t like statistics because you don’t like generalizations being made about blacks. I understand that. But don’t indict statistics as a whole. People use statistics precisely because they are useful.
It is irrational to try.
Why is it irrational to try? What is so irrational about trying to use crime statistics to avoid being victimized? A person could be wrong in his assumptions regarding a particular set of statistics, but the attempt itself is not irrational. Are NYC cabbies, many of whom are black themselves, irrational because they bypass young black men? I don’t think so. The black cabbies that pass on black men in NYC are being perfectly rational and that rationality helps keep them alive.

I explained to Abagond why a discussion of rape is relevant. I’ll quote myself:
It seems to me that white racists and others (like me) use rape to illustrate two points:
1) Rape is a crime in which police bias is minimized – Typically, liberals try to get around the fact that black men commit much more crime than other groups by stating that the police hate black men and consequently are inclined to arrest them disproportionally. White racists circumvent this argument by quoting rape statistics because the police don’t conduct rape sweeps as they do with drugs or guns. Innocent black men are not ensnared in this fashion with respect to rape, thus it provides a clearer picture of criminal propensity.
2) Rape is a crime in which blacks (for the sake of argument, blacks in this context means American blacks) are disproportionately represented among the perpetrators and victims (referring to male/female rape).
I think these are the fundamental flaws in the argument
and in fact starts from a ‘false’ premise and thus affecting the whole ‘logical’way you look and assess the ‘facts’.
* The lack of understanding statistics and what can be inferred from the statistics, and also how the statistics are derived?
* The lack of understanding about ‘rape myths’ and how such myth operates in a racist society?
* Base rate fallacy

You see, RR, rape in particular, and crime in general, are BEHAVIORAL problems; they are based on how you act, not on how you look.
The problem is that you (and others) have tried to look at ethnic percentages as predictors of racial propensity toward crime. But, as you admit, those figures mean nothing when dealing with an individual. But they also don’t mean anything when dealing with a group or a neighborhood. Neighborhoods can be as individual as persons are.
There are many, many, neighborhoods that the D.O.J. crime figures would tell you nothing about, because just like individuals, neighborhood activity can not be predicted on an individual basis.

And why? Because crime is based on behavior, not ethnicity. The problem is when people try to do racial bean counting and then make ethnicity the big dividing line.
THE REAL DIVISION SHOULD BE BETWEEN CRIMINALS AND NON-CRIMINALS—Nobody should be saying, “Well that group has more crimes than my group.
Your group when it comes to crime, is “Non- Criminal” the other group is “Criminal” those are the only two groups in the world, on this issue. When you fall into the fallacy of trying to hold non-criminals accountable for the actions of criminals, who happen to share a similar shade of skin color, you are being a fool.
If one skin color division has more criminals in it than the other, it has NOTHING to do with the non-criminals who share the same skin color. You don’t treat them any different, and they are no more likely to do a crime than you are.
THAT is holding people accountable for their actions, not their ethnicity.

“Standardized tests like the SAT, LSAT, GRE etc., predict first year grades quite well (relative to other measures) for individuals and groups”
Yes, but the context of my statement was CRIME STATISTICS. And using national crime statistics based on race, or left-handedness, or whatever criteria, cannot predict how safe a specific neighborhood or group would be, based on the race of the people who inhabit it. That is the point.
The SAT, GRE, or any other test cannot predict the behavior of any group of students, based on their race. It can predict national trends, yes, but it can’t predict for neighborhood size groups, or families walking down the sidewalk—which is what we’re talking about.

Crime is behavioral and unless one is a racial absolutist (I am not) race is not causal with respect to crime. Nonetheless, propensity to commit crime is not evenly distributed across racial/ethnic lines. The crime statistics do bear this out. And they are relevant with respect to neighborhoods. Again, you seem to object to crime statistics simply because they cast blacks in an unflattering light. Reality is reality. Denying that crime does in fact vary by race/ethnicity does no one any good.

There is no need to rely on DOJ data. One can find out local data from sources like this one:
http://www.crimereports.com/
And why? Because crime is based on behavior, not ethnicity. The problem is when people try to do racial bean counting and then make ethnicity the big dividing line.
But there is a correlation between race/ethnicity and crime. Some racial/ethnic groups are more crime prone than others. This is a fact. I don’t like it and I’m sure you don’t like it, but it is a reality nonetheless.
THE REAL DIVISION SHOULD BE BETWEEN CRIMINALS AND NON-CRIMINALS—Nobody should be saying, “Well that group has more crimes than my group
But your statement overlooks the fact that crime runs along a continuum. Some people, and groups specialize in specific types of crimes. Just as athletes vary with respect to race, so do criminals.

But quoting rape statistics makes no sense in regards to crime if I (and most people) admittedly don’t use those specifically to determine how safe a neighborhood is. Even if I decided that single statistic was most important to me in deciding where to live, I’d have to realize that most of these rapes were likely reported by women who knew their attacker.

If most of the attackers were Black and I found that significant, than I would have to never associate with Black people, not just live near them, as King said, since associates aren’t just limited to people who live near you.

Rape statistics are still relevant for the following reasons:
1) A significant number of rapes are stranger rapes and black men are somewhat over-represented in stranger rapes than are white men.
2) One tends to become acquainted with one’s neighbors. If one’s neighbors have a higher than average tendency to rape, then one would be at higher than average risk of rape.
What should a girl do? She should look at the statistics and move to the safest neighborhood she could afford.
All blacks are not the same. There are black neighborhoods that are safer than white neighborhoods, despite the fact that on average, black neighborhoods are more crime prone than white neigbhorhoods, but one wouldn’t know that without crime statistics. So, just because blacks are, on average, more crime prone, does not mean that one should assume that all blacks are crime prone.

1. Depends on what you define as “significant” since almost 80% of rapes are acquaintance rapes.

I agree that one should look at the statistics, I just think that if there were an individual category of crime I would consider in moving somewhere it would be gun-related crimes (which would likely correlate with drug and gang activity), not rape.
Incidentally, my college campus is considered “rape prone” for a number of factors, including the high population of upper-class White males in the student body.

Suppose, on hearing that a meteor was going to hit the Earth, one decides that he should write his will, just in case. That is an informed decision, no matter how you slice it.
Yes, but the context of my statement was CRIME STATISTICS.
But the statement you made was with respect to being able to predict individual and group performance. You were wrong.
The SAT, GRE, or any other test cannot predict the behavior of any group of students, based on their race.
But they can predict achievement based on their scores. That is why colleges use them. Admissions offices use them because of their predictive power. And we know that the tests over-predict black scholastic achievement because the results are fairly consistent.
but it can’t predict for neighborhood size groups, or families walking down the sidewalk—which is what we’re talking about.
The statistics obviously don’t predict perfectly, but they are positively correlated with behavior. Crime is not randomly distributed across a town, region or country. It is not evenly distributed either. Again, life is basically a question of probabilities. We probabilistic games every time we walk out the door. Political correctness isn’t going to change this reality.

We are talking about criminal propensity of races. Every race has it share of criminals. The percentages vary according to race and the types of crimes vary with race. This is what the statistics reflect. So when you talk about non-criminals you might as well be talking about non-players in Major League baseball. Non-criminals are not relevant to crime, obviously, but are impacted by crime, and crime varies with race/ethnicity.

Before accepting your claim that midtown south crime is WORSE than central Harlem crime, I’d like to know a few details.
Like the crimes committed and the descriptions of the perpetrators.
I would also like to know if your map of midtown south goes from 42nd to 34th AND from the East River to the Hudson. If yes, then your region includes people high and low on the economic ladder.
Sometimes, when you comment about neighborhoods, I think you know very little about New York City. As I am sure you read, Times Square was the site of some gang activity on Easter Sunday. Surprise, surprise, when the cops nabbed the offenders, they were black.
Though today Times Square and 42nd Street west of 6th Ave are unrecognizable compared with how they were 15 years ago, the area below 42nd St retains some of its former grimness and the crime that grim lives of desperation can bring. The bad boys are not white.

Yes to both questions.
With respect to “crime”, I am stating there is a link between an aspect of crime — violence — and race.
However, if we look at the range of crime, we can identify plenty of crime that is non-violent and those most inclined to commit it.
Meanwhile, the high incidence of violence among blacks correlates with black dominance in many sports, like boxing and football.

RR, I simply don’t understand what you are arguing. On one hand, you keep talking about race to crime correlations, and on the other, you’re talking about looking at the total crime statistics of particular neighborhoods.
There is obviously no need to look at race to crime correlation if you can just look at the total crime numbers for a specific neighborhood. Why would race even come into the picture if you could look at a website, or a printed report that told you that the neighborhood in question was crime free? Or if it wasn’t crime free, then what possible good would it do for you to know the race of the criminals in the area? It’s completely irrelevant.
The only way that I can see that considering race to crime statistical correlation makes sense is if you plan on making decisions about the safety of people, or places, based on their ethnic makeup.
Race/ethnicity is a categorical label of convenience, there is really no such thing a “black people,” there are only black peoples. There is no single “black culture,” there are many black cultures. The wide umbrella of “blackness” is just a large and fuzzy category that is convenient to use at one level but inappropriate to use at others (like criminal propensity).
Trying to describe “how black people act” is like trying to describe the characteristics of red cars.
The category simply is not discrete enough to treat as correlative.
Does buying stocks make you money?
Are canines good pets?
Is liquid poisonous?
There are questions you cannot answer. They don’t make sense because what’s being asked about is far too broad a category to be resolved with a single answer.
The same is true of ethnic correlations. One must always ask, “which black people are you talking about? Which White people are you talking about? Which Asian people are you talking about? Because there are that many differences between them.

Firstly, we must consider, not only the descendants of slaves, but also those who have immigrated here to America in all the years since slavery. But then, even “American Negroes” are not one culture or one people. There are many different black cultures within blackness. Some are educated, and some are not. Some are wealthy, some are violent, some are Democrats, a few are Republicans. They live in different places, and eat different foods, they even talk different. There is as much diversity within blackness as there is in all of the races without.
That is why you can’t simply link “black people” as a whole to black crime statistics. Truth be known, most of the black crime is coming out of a certain, specific, and identifiable group within the black monolith. MOST of the black subcultures are not very much different than any other ethnic group. They have nothing to do with crime, and are as harmed, and disgusted by it as every other citizen.
The fact that there is a certain black criminal subculture that deals drugs, fights gang wars, supports prostitution, etc., and that their numbers spike the statistics for the “black people,” everywhere, has nothing to do with the black people who are not in that subculture.
People have to stop defining blacks based on the lowest common cultural denominator. We don’t define white people by those who cook up meth in the trailer parks. We don’t define Asians based on the the Yakuza. The VAST majority of black people are not criminals—and they can’t control, or somehow be collectively responsible, for those who are!

But then again, many cultures voted for Barack Obama. Voting for him (even overwhelmingly) doesn’t make a culture.
“2) American Negroes pretty much like the same type of music: R&B”
Not really. I’d say that R&B and R&B/Pop/Rap hybrid music has become pretty mainstream these days. But the reverse has also happened. A lot of black young people listen to a much broader range of music. R&B is probably only one of the many kinds of music that they listen to.
“3) For those of us who enjoy sports (and that’s most American Negro males) we focus intently on two of those: basketball and football.”
WHAT??? How about baseball? I have lots of friends who like baseball. But also, the hard core sports fanatics just watch whatever comes on ESPN. Seriously, there is absolutely no way that you could know what sports black guys are watching at home. You’re just relying on old stereotypes.

———–
I find that most black people, on a fundamental level, are the same as people of other ethnicities. They aren’t more violent, or more aggressive, or trouble prone. However, in just about every city, there are small, predominantly black trouble spots. We all know about these places.
Here in L.A. it’s
1) South Central
2) Watts
3) Compton
4) Inglewood
These areas are always poor, with high dropout rates, and poor school performance. They also are full of drug traffic, crime, and violence. There is a highly developed gang culture in these areas, and a distrust of the police. 80% of all black crime is black on black and happens in these hot spots. I’ll say it again… The vast majority of black crime doesn’t even effect white people.
Everyone knows where these places are, and everyone knows that all of the IRREGULAR crime numbers come out of these problem communities. If you took all of these places out of the equation, black crime statistics would probably be pretty close to those of whites.
Now, there are a lot of predominantly white neighborhoods around, since whites are still the majority ethnicity in the United States. A minority of these neighborhoods are sketchy, but most of them are average to excellent. Predominantly white areas are generally thought of as nice places to live.
However, in today’s world, when black people become financially successful, they seldom move into an upscale, all-black enclave, as they did in the past. Today, they can move almost anywhere they want, So they mix in to diverse and pluralistic neighborhoods, along with successful people of other races.
As a result, the only neighborhood that ends up being identified as a predominantly black place is the ghetto. People start calling it “the black part of town” or “where the black people live,” even though black people live all over town, just not in as dense a racial concentration. The ghetto becomes the most visible face of “blackness” to the rest of the community. Given enough time, they begin to think of black people as ghetto people and criminals. They begin to hold all black people collectively responsible for what happens in the ghetto.
But the truth is that the black people who don’t live in the ghetto have no more power to fix things there than the white people who don’t live in the ghetto. Rape statistics are not owned by a color, or an ethnicity, they are just a tool to help the police to better plan their resources. They were never intended to be, nor can they be, used as a scoreboard to determine what color of people are “more likely” to commit certain crimes. That’s just not the way it works.

J makes a good point: if you are so concerned about blacks then how come you sound so much like those who mean black people no good??
J makes an asinine point. One can receive useful information from another whether they intend to help you or not. If you consider white racists your enemies, study your enemies. Listen to what they have to say. Know what drives them. Are the questions they raise reasonable?

Stop focusing on how racists state their arguments and focus on what they are saying.

I agree with this statement. But then why do blacks blame the problems of the slums on whites? Abagond (and he is hardly unique) believes that 75% of our problems are due to white racism. This belief is insane! It flies in the face of logic. But many blacks have similar thoughts.
Although I agree with your statement, whites (and some blacks like Barack Obama) support policies that make life in the slums much harder than it has to be. Two of the most deterimental policies are listed below:
1) The concerted effort to undermine morality (i.e. Christianity, law and order, sexual restraint).
2) Unfettered immigration.

It depends on how one chooses to look at it. If crime is really beyond our control, then maybe the racists are right. Maybe we have a genetic propensity for crime. If this is the case, then I agree with you. We have nothing to apologize for because it wouldn’t be our fault that we commit more crime. But by that line of reasoning, whites would be justified in instituting segregationist measures to protect themselves from black crime. After all, if blacks are genetically predisposed to commit crime, that’s not the fault of whites.
If, on the other hand, black crime can be mitigated through moral suasion and enforcement of our immigration laws, then WE own the problem.

You forgot to say “per capita.”
Yes, but the people who get all excited are fools.
Anyway, blacks don’t commit more crimes than Whites. Black criminals commit more crimes, per capita, than white criminals, and there is a big difference.
White people can’t control white criminals, and black people can’t control black criminals, and trying to play this game or how many black marbles are in the bottle as compared to how many white marbles, is a fools errand.
If somebody robs you, or rapes you, or sells your kids drugs, the last thing that you care about is how much melanin was in his skin. It really doesn’t matter, what race a criminal is. What matters is his criminal actions. Society should have the same response, and the same concern with all criminals. Counting them up by race achieves nothing. You are so thoroughly steeped in this idea that all blacks are responsible for all other blacks, that you’ve become a slave within your own prison of illogic.
“But if you consider yourself black, you own the black crime problem whether you like it or not.”
This is a prime example of your perverse illogic. You accept (at least for the sake of argument) that I’m not a criminal. You admit that I can’t go out and stop black crime. Sure, I can do all of the things that people do—plead, bribe, beg, threaten—but people don’t change unless they truly want to. They can’t really be forced. So how am I responsible for black criminals, just because I’m black? Are all latino’s responsible for latino criminals? Are whites responsible for white criminals?
OR do we all pay our taxes to the same police department. Get real.
“80% of the players in the NBA are black, that is to say WE comprise 80% of the players”
With athletes, we both agree with, and support, what they are doing. Our association with them is based on their performance, not their race. Sure, we see that they are black, but that doesn’t make us responsible for their successes or failures. But with black criminals, we do not support them, in fact, we despise them! So why in the world should we be responsible for their actions?
“If crime is really beyond our control, then maybe the racists are right. Maybe we have a genetic propensity for crime. If this is the case, then I agree with you. We have nothing to apologize for because it wouldn’t be our fault that we commit more crime. But by that line of reasoning, whites would be justified in instituting segregationist measures to protect themselves from black crime.”
Hahaha! The Coup de grâce of ridiculous thinking. So, in your mind, because black non-criminals can’t somehow control the behavior of black criminals, white people would be perfectly justified in segregating themselves from ALL black people. Do you realize how stupid that sounds? They should do this, even though white people can’t seem to control white criminals either. Come to think of it, Asians can’t control Asian criminals. But, I guess because black criminals commit crimes at a higher per capita rate, then it makes perfect sense to quarantine everybody with dark skin.
Well, before we fall to that extreme, lets try running this idea up the flagpole: Hows about we just segregating all the CRIMINALS, no matter what their color… we’ll call it JAIL.

I agree, we do hear a lot about White male pedophiles. (Pedophilia is a diagnosable psychiatric disorder, and most are White males in their 30s.) The thing is Whiteness is not what makes someone (i.e., predisposes him/her) to pedophilia, just as Blackness doesn’t predispose someone to rape. Obviously rape is not a psychiatric disorder, but it’s implicated so often in sexual disorders (pedophilia, frotteurism, voyeurism, etc.) that researchers do look at commonalities between people in treatment. They’ve found higher testosterone levels, more negative attitudes about women, and higher sex drives for lots of disorders, but race isn’t a risk factor. The best you could do to implicate race in anything (as a causal factor) would be to link it to a combination of factors, because there’s no way you could glean anything out of the .1% difference between the races that would be strong enough to predict a character trait on its own.

A Northern taboo: Research on race, crime, and criminal justice in Canada.
by Scot Wortley
Although statistics on race and crime are not normally released in Canada, the information that is available suggests that certain racial minorities are also over-represented in the Canadian correctional system. Table 1 combines data from the 1996 Census (www.statcan.ca) with data released by federal corrections (Solicitor General of Canada 1997). The data reveal that while aboriginal Canadians represent approximately 4% of the population, they account for 14% of federal prison inmates. Similarly, while black people account for only 2% of the population, they represent over 6% of those in federal correctional institutions. Overall, aboriginals suffer from the highest incarceration rate (184.85 per 100,000), followed closely by African- Canadians (146.37).

The argument against race-crime statistics can be divided into three major points: 1) the poor quality of crime statistics; 2) the difficulty of measuring race; and 3) the possibility that race-crime statistics will be used to support racist theories of crime and subsequently justify discrimination against racial minorities.
The accuracy of crime statistics — particularly official crime statistics — is often questioned (Nettler 1978; DeKeseredy and Schwartz 1996). One criticism is that official data only capture crimes that have …”

Scott Wortley has also been an authority on racial profiling in Canada:
http://criminology.utoronto.ca/home/scot_wortley.html
In any case, since there is no stats based on who is committing what crimes, what’s that got to do with blacks committing rapes disproportionate to the rest of the populace in Canada? Hence one cannot draw any conclusions in that regards. However, Wortley uses these stats to show injustice in the court system, hence his use of race in these numbers. He also uses stats to show that racial profiling exists. I will reiterate, most of the rapist and sexual predators I have come across are white. Most of the blacks convicted of crimes are for economic reasons, not because they are out raping women, or white women en masse. This is where context comes in. What it boils down to, is that a miscreant is a miscreant regardless of race. If a particular group is being profiled, the police are bound to find some criminals among those they stop. Visibility goes a long way in these instances. If a group is being targeted, other ‘criminals’ are getting away with other crimes since the police are not targeting their group in particular. As for the overly represented aboriginals in the Corrections system, that can be put down to residential schools combined with history, which went, and goes a long way in wreaking havoc on past and present generations of aboriginals. But this post isn’t about aboriginal people. It is about the myth of the black ‘rape-hound’ which is essentially the gist of this post, in particular raping white women for this is what this fear is about really. When stats are brought up about intra-racial rape for example, these racists will conveniently downplay them. They aren’t concerned about black or racialized women being raped, however, they are concerned when white women are raped. If they had any decency and morals, they should be concerned when any women is raped. They use these stats for their own racist agenda.

That’s it in a nutshell. Human Rights legislation came into effect fairly recently considering, in Canada. Mass immigration of racialized people did not occur until the mid to late 1960s’. Many of the right wingers still detest Trudeau for allowing this. Although the black Canadian population was very small before that, they suffered a history of discrimination almost as bad as the blacks in the States. You just never hear, heard about it. They had school segregation in some parts, many areas were off limits to black, anti-Asian(yellow peril), rampant anti-semitism, etc., was the norm. There were certain signs saying no blacks, jews or dogs allowed. There was even a riot at Christie pits between jews and gentiles in the 1930s’ at a place called Christie Pits(a park). As much as they like to project themselves as ‘not like the racist Americans’ this was not so.

You don’t want to be lumped in with black criminals. I understand that. You are not directly responsible for the black crime rate (assuming you have not fathered any children out of wedlock and are actively helping to raise any children you have within wedlock). But because you are a black male (presumably) you will nonetheless possibly suffer because of the outsized crime rate of black men. Black people exalted in Obama’s victory mainly because he was a black man and he was one of us (supposedly). We took collective pleasure in his winning the white house. Should we have done this? After all, very few of us participated in his scholastic or legislative achievements. So, why were black people so excited about Obama’s victory? Why did we view his victory as our own? For the same reason Italians get excited about Columbus (but resent like hell references to the Mafia) or that Jews are proud of Einstein (but dismiss outsized Jewish involvement in bringing the Communist party to power in the former Soviet Union) etc. Humans have a tendency to inflate our tribal achievements and minimize our tribal failures. This is human nature.

Or Nobel prize winning physicists. Why? Because very few blacks are engaged in these endeavors. This is not to say that there aren’t blacks who do follow non-stereotypical fields of endeavor, but some fields are considered stereotypical for a reason.

it certainly is. And examples of racial tribalism are obvious and so extensive that it would take a month to run through maybe a quarter of the examples…and those are just the ones I can think of!
Open expressions of our tribalistic natures are often suppressed and/or censored by the PC police that dominate social institutions and social environments. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it runs in opposition to the most blatant and uncivil forms of tribalism responsible for so much grief and unfairness e.g. slavery, apartheid, Hitler, Jim Crow, no_slappz etc.
Still racial tribalism rears its head at every opportunity not least in the recent US presidential elections where Hillary Clinton was said to appeal explicitly to women voters…but which women voters one might ask? The kind that looked like Oprah Winfrey, perhaps?
Barack Obama had to tread more carefully since he sought cross-tribal appeal e.g. to whites. So his reminiscences about his white grandparents (and to a lessor extent his mother) spoke to millions of Americans (read whites). It resonated.
His most important appeal to fatalistic African-Americans (many didn’t believe a ‘Black’ man could possibly win) was unspoken and came in the gracious and bootilicious form of Michelle Obama…nuff said!
Still, at various points during the campaign it was thought that Obama wouldn’t make it. This was especially true when white racial tribalists unleashed Sarah Palin late on in an effort to win over embittered white tribalists female voters who supported Mrs Clinton failed bid for the White House.
It didn’t succeed. This was in no small measure to Palin’s fellow white tribalists in the liberal mass media who lampooned her at every turn, and night-time comedians who mocked her folksy ignorance (ala Dubya Bush). It was they who ultimately conspired with a pissed off white electoral masses to get Barack elected.
So I guess in a sense the most unsporting acts of tribalism were subverted and rendered irrelevant by this one momentous, democratic, act; that of a electing a non-white President and consequently making a 1st Lady of a descendant of slaves.

I disagree with the sentiment you are expressing here. Political Correctness really only affects whites. The same prohibitions are not applied to non-whites or non-Christians. This is a major problem. Also, whether we like it or not, some people as a group behave badly. The fact that they are behaving badly must be pointed out to them if they are to change their behavior. Political Correctness inhibits this healthy process of racial/tribal criticism.

Racism is a naturally occurring phenomenon as opposed to an artificially occurring phenomenon. Some behaviors are learned, but racial differentiation is NOT learned.

What has to be taught is the habit of resisting the natural urge to favor one’s own.

Because race is relative. Some groups of people are more related to each other than they are related to other groups of people.

No, they thought of themselves as races. Again, family, tribe, race are relative gauges. It is the degree of relatedness that matters.

If humankind can be traced to a single ancestor, then there once was a time when there was only ONE race/ethnicity. How on earth could there have been racism at that point? Are you quite mad?
If there was a single human ancestor, (or pair) then it would have taken many generations before humankind was able to reach any appreciable level of phenotypical variance. At some point, we all looked the same, we all shared the same culture. You may cross check that fact with any source that you care to.
As for ancestors… I suppose you mean recent ancestors, because if we reach back far enough, the pool gets smaller and smaller until we discover that we are all climbing in the same family tree (to mix metaphors). But to be honest, I don’t have much of a connection to my ancestors beyond my Grandparents. I imagine that’s true of most people. I know a little about a few of them, but it’s not a big deal.
Black people may be proud of Harriet Tubman, Jack Johnson, Jackie Robinson, and Barack Obama, etc. and there is often a perceived racial component involved. But Chinese-Americans are also proud of Harriet Tubman, Jack Johnson, Jackie Robinson, and Barack Obama, because they were/are exceptional Americans, and exceptional human beings. So who’s pride is more real? The color doesn’t matter does it? Does it??
Because race is relative. Some groups of people are more related to each other than they are related to other groups of people.

A mitochondrial Eve and a Y-chromosomal Adam have been found. Naturally they both lived much longer ago than the Biblical fundamentalist version of Adam and Eve, and in fact, due to greater variability in male fecundity than female fecundity, they lived thousands of years apart. Both of them lived in Africa, unsurprisingly.
Y-chromosomal Adam probably lived 90,000 and 60,000 years ago in Africa, so we all had a common ancestor in around that time frame, FWIW (which is actually a pretty short time frame in evolutionary terms).
“Race” is a common way of dividing people now, but it hasn’t always provided the categories into which people divided. In the Ottoman Empire, the different millets were distinguished by religion rather than “race” (and, as a result, Greeks and Turks actually have about the same proportion of European/Asian/African ancestry, not having any One Drop rules to keep them in distinct slots). In ancient Greece, it was language, the difference between Greeks and non-Greek speaking “barbarians,” that mattered.

There clearly would have to have been a singular point when Homo Sapien Sapiens had:
1) branched distinctly away from other bipedal hominids; 2) displaced all other niche-competitive species;
3) became the dominant primate species in the evolutionary ladder.
Your rather poorly thought out idea that somehow evolutionary competitive or progenitive species displacement was some kind of primitive “ethnic cleansing” or or intra-primate “racism” only goes to shows the appalling extent of your complete miseducation and misunderstanding of the subject. Other primates, no matter how promising, were not “human” and were not the same species. Racism occurs between human beings. That’s why we don’t say that keeping monkeys in a zoo is “racism.” Or do you?
At the point when Homo Sapiens evolved and became a distinct and ascendant primate species, the distinction would have to have begun with a set of random genetic mutations (according to all evolutionary theory). Such mutations would not, and could not have occurred simultaneously in an entire group of hominids. (This isn’t the X-Men comics) The mutation would have occurred in the DNA codex, of a single hominid, in order for it to have been a genetically transferrable trait to offspring. The mutated trait(s) would also have to be genetically dominant traits. Therefore, it would be a biological necessity to begin with a single mating pair, an “Adam” and “Eve” in order to sire the evolved genetics of the Homo Sapiens species.
Homo Sapiens, at this point, were brothers, sisters, cousins, and second cousins. They all looked alike, they all shared the same “culture” they were the same people. They did not force Neanderthals to ride on the back of the Mammoth, they did not post signs that read, “No Neanderthals allowed.” Any displacement of competitive or progenitive species was NOT RACISM or anything like it!

Chinese or Asian-Americans are most likely to be proud of the likes of Jackie Chan because they have a racial affinity with him. African-Americans, by contrast, are merely likely to be fans since they have no racial stake in his mainstream acceptance and success.
They do, however, have a racial affinity with Chris Rock, and thus are proud of his mainstream success. Chinese-Americans, at most, are but fans of Mr Rock.

You’re talking about a reasonably large population of people when speaking about the Chinese-Americans. You’ve stated that a statistically insignificant minority show pride or support for Black-American activist pioneers.
So… how many Chines-Americans do you know? How much time do you spend in the Chinese-American community? How many of the Chinese-Americans, whom you know, have you surveyed on this particular issue? How many Chinese-Americans are there in the USA? (total population figures)
I’m going to just assume, at this point, that whatever your answers to the above questions, that you don’t know, or have contact with, nearly enough Chinese-Americans to render a decision based on your own personal experiences.

Well Menelik, if it’s just your assumption, then I’d caution you on expressing it without qualifiers.
If I say that “People love ice cream” I’d think that would be a fairly broad statement, but also a fairly safe one. Now, in reality, most of the global population has probably never tasted ice cream… but I’d think that most of those who haven’t are not going to take offense at it.
But if I say, “Black people love chicken” it gets a little more problematic. Someone’s bound to ask, “Who made you the expert on what Black people like?” Although it’s still a fairly innocuous statement.
But if you say, “Black people hate Mexicans” then you’d better have something more concrete than your opinion for it.
NOW about pride. There are non-black Americans who are proud of Martin Luther King Jr., as a fellow American. There are also other minorities, who are proud of Martin Luther King Jr. as a fellow minority leader. There are non-black Christians who are proud of Martin Luther King Jr. as a fellow Christian.
Your assumption is that people of the same race are the only ones who can be proud of a black person. That opinion is short-sighted. A black person can be many things beyond being just black. There are other affiliations that may bring pride to those who share them.
I am proud of certain friends of mine. They are not black, so does that reduce me to a FAN, who cannot feel genuine pride in their accomplishments, simply because we don’t share the same skin color?
The Chinese-American activists that I know feel proud that non-white, American minorities stood up to the system and made a difference. They are proud, as minorities, and as activists, for what was achieved.

King,
There are a number of falsities in your last post to me. You stated:
” There clearly would have to have been a singular point when Homo Sapiens had:
1) branched distinctly away from other obipedal hominids”
There was no branching away from other hominids because the Neanderthals were not ancestors to Homo Sapiens. Your remark is tantamount to saying that whites branched away from blacks. They were a distinct group unto themselves and co-existed, for a time, with Cro-Magnons (ancestors to Homo Sapiens). There is even evidence that they interbred. See htt://anthro.palomar.edu/homo2/mod_homo2.htm
Here are a couple of choice lines from the article:
Based on this information, Svante Paabo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany concludes that the Neandertal and modern human genomes share 99.5-99.9% of their base unit sequences. He estimates that the Neandertal line began to diverge from ours by about 800,000 years ago and that we were “genetically distinct” by 300,000 years ago. He also suggests that there was only minimal interbreeding if any between these two lines of humans after they came into contact in Europe beginning around 40,000 years ago. This DNA evidence supports the contention that Neandertals were not a subspecies or variety of our species and that they were not our ancestors.
“Your rather poorly thought out idea that somehow evolutionary competitive or progentive species displacement was some kind of primative “ethnic cleansing” or or intra-primate “racism” only goes to show the appalling extent of your complete miseducation and misunderstanding of the subject.”
I think it is important to focus on facts, rather than invective. The idea that early humans committed genocide against the Neanderthals is not mine, which you would have known if you had bothered to research my statement (or if you even bothered to read the article I cited previously). See http://www.aaas.org/spp/dser/02_Events/Lectures/02_Lecture_2002_1010summary.pdf
Here is a choice quote:
What occurred after Cro-Magnons moved into Neanderthal territory to cause the latter group to die out? Two theories predominate, said Tattersall. The first is that the Neanderthals were absorbed into the invading population by interbreeding. However, the genetic evidence does not seem to support this view.
The second theory is that the Neanderthals lost out in competition: direct and violent competition, indirect economic competition, or both.”
Such mutations would not and could not have occurred simultaneously in an entire group of hominids
It depends on your definition of “simultaneously”. From an evolutionary perspective, such a mutation could have occurred in 10000 years. Even that would not have been required. The only selection pressure would have been through differing environments of early humans. And the environments of early humans were varied, thus leading to genetic differences between early tribes/races of humans.
Therefore, it would be a biological necessity to begin with a single mating pair, an “Adam” and “Eve” in order to sire the evolved genetics of the Homo Sapiens species
Now that’s bizarre! What of the problem of interbreeding? How would have Homo Sapiens survived if there really was a single family from which the species descended? Let’s look at this from a modern perspective. Let’s assume for the sake of argument that your Adam and Eve mated and had children. Their children would have then mated with each other. Their grandchildren would have mated with other descendents of Adam and Eve, etc. From what we know of biology, Homo Sapiens could not have possibly grown and thrived due to inbreeding depression. So please, explain how we got around this problem, if you can.
Any displacement of competitive or progentive species was NOT RACISM or anything like it!
How can you be so dogmatic here? How do you know? You haven’t even researched the possibility yet. There is some evidence that the Cro-Magnons wiped out the Neanderthals. Assuming this actually happened, it seems to me that racism would have been a factor. Here are some more references to the theory that humans wiped out the Neanderthals:
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1912195,00.html
This is my kind of quote:
“Neanderthals met a violent end at our hands, and in some cases we ate them,” Rozzi said at the time of the discovery.
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=43002649
I hope that I have convinced you that this is not my theory or that it is some crack-pot racist theory. A number of mainstream scientists support this idea. Now, I’m not asserting that humans did kill off the Neanderthals, but given that racism is part of human nature, I wouldn’t be too surprised.
Careful RR, or you may begin to sound like an ignorant racist.
Well, I certainly wouldn’t want to sound like those guys, but sometimes, those guys are right. With respect to Chinese-American attachment to the US, I remain dubious of the most recent immigrants. Too many of them have come here in too short a time frame for their attachment to be solid. It seems to me that very few of the more recent Chinese immigrants would be willing to lay down their lives for this country, especially if we went to war with China. I can hear you say, “Well RR, what of the Japanese. The Japanese population during WWII was very loyal but, due to racist sentiment like yours, they were interned during the war. That was racist and mean.” Well I would say that, although herding Japanese-Americans into internment camps during the war was racist and mean, it was not irrational being that there was substantial evidence that many Japanese were in fact, spying for Japan. “But”, you would say, “German-Americans were not interned!”. My response would be, “Exactly!” I would be of the same opinion (weak attachment to the US) regarding Italians, the Irish and the Jews if there hadn’t been an immigration moratorium enacted in 1924 that severely limited immigration to this country for 41 years.
But I can say, that many among the Asian-American activist community truly respect and are proud of African-American activists who are seen as pioneers and role models for their own cause.
This is a hoot! Asian-American activist community?!! Very few Asian Americans are community activists (to their great credit). Asians are famously non-activist. And it scares me to think that some of them would like to have their own Al Sharpton. Perish the thought!
I have no problem with seeing race, just so long as we drop the divisive tribalistic aspects of race theory.
I think you do have a problem with race, because seeing race means seeing racial differences. And racial differences lead to unequal outcomes and the formation of stereotypes. What I think you would like to say is that you wish that races were the same in terms of levels of achievement. That way, one could argue that race was skin deep. Unfortunately, race is more than skin deep.

You are cracking me up! I couldn’t have said it better myself. What reason would a Chinese-American have to be proud of Jackie Robinson? A Chinese-American might admire Jackie Robinson’s achievements, but where does pride come in to it? A Chinese-American might be happy that he lives in a country that strives to confront racial injustice, but then again, this might lead said Chinese-American to wonder why so many NAMs (non-Asian minorities) are given Affirmative Action when he so badly wanted to go to UC Berkeley, but couldn’t because there exists a de facto quota on Asians at Berkeley. Said Chinese-American might get angry. He might stop admiring black heroes and, perhaps, start resenting them, especially if Negroes continue to steal from his father’s grocery store.

Otherwise, we would call crocodiles racist when they attack wilder beasts, or lions when they attack gazelles. If Homo Sapiens single-handedly wiped out the Neanderthals (highly doubtful) then it was not an act or racism, but a case of one species driving another species into extinction. That’s not racism, it has happened millions of times as a process of evolution. NOBODY in the scientific community has ever called this racism, as far as I know. Do you?

Homo Sapiens, at this point, were brothers, sisters, cousins, and second cousins.
I asked you to show how Homo Sapiens avoided the problem of inbreeding depression. This is a basic question. I would like to hear your answer.
Secondly
If Homo Sapiens single-handedly wiped out the Neanderthals (highly doubtful) then it was not an act or racism, but a case of one species driving another species into extinction.
It seems to me that you have not researched this topic to any great degree. There is DNA evidence that shows that Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons did procreate with each other and that the pairings were exclusively between Cro-Magnon males and Neanderthal females (was there rape too?). Different species CAN’T procreate. This is an essential element of speciation. So, if these two groups of early humans were able to mate, then they were very close genetically speaking. So, Cro-Magnons really could have engaged in racism against the Neanderthals, even by your immature definition of racism. Please address the fact that Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons reproduced with each other.

it’s not that imprecise, Bro King! From what I gather the term ‘some’ – as an adjective or an adverb, CAN mean the following
1) “relatively MANY but unspecified in number”
2) “imprecise but FAIRLY close to correct”
here’s the link:

the words” imprecise” and “unspecified” certainly stand out here but the so does the term “many” and phrase “close to correct” which are forms of specification.
So I will ask the question again, if I may: If there is no scientific means of measuring pride then what means did you resort to measuring Chinese-American pride in African-American icons?
King said:
A White person, or a Chinese person, or a Latino person, can feel pride in a Black person. A Black person can feel pride in a White person.
It all depends on their CONNECTION.
Menelik replies:
and isn’t this “connection” a means by which to measure group pride (you appear to have used it as such)? So what’s the “connections” between the white astronaut, Neil Armstrong, and African-Americans of the 1960s? I would guess nationality and not much else.
Blacks became especially interested in space travel only when the first African-American, Guion Bluford, entered space. It depended on their “connection”, you see!
Before Bluford it was merely a game between the white USSR and white America!
So using this notion of “connection” as a means of measuring pride we could argue that African-Americans were COLLECTIVELY proud of Guion Bluford’s achievement, irrespective of the varying degrees of pride felt by individual African-Americans.
I am equally arguing that the idea of Chinese-American activists telling you of their pride in African-American icons is every bit as shallow as an Arab or an Indian calling me “Brother” when I enter their store!

Jasmin,
I think enduring stereotypes have quite a lot to do with truth, regardless of intent. This is why stereotypes endure.
Let’s take the common stereotype of the short Oriental nerd. This stereotype endures because, on average, Oriental males are shorter than other groups of males and Orientals are disproportionately represented in the hard sciences. The stereotype reflects reality although not in all cases, or even most cases, but contains enough truth to it to be plausible.
What about the stereotype of watermelon eating blacks? This is a stereotype that was very common at one time. One hardly encounters it anymore (at least in the US) because blacks don’t eat a disproportionate amount of watermelon, thus the stereotype is easily falsifiable. The stereotype of the black criminal is very common and has been around for a long time. It has legs because blacks do commit a disproportionate percentage of violent crime. So there is an underlying reality supporting the stereotype of the black criminal.
Abagond,
You wrote:
” I think that those prostitutes with the largest amount of love to give are the most enduring.”
This is a very wayward analogy you have constructed for yourself. Exactly what are you trying to say? How do loving prostitutes endure? Does love make prostitutes immortal? You are not making a good argument. Let’s see:
Truth is to stereotype as prostitutes are to love.
Truth can be objectively verified, regardless of the difficulty of proving a truth. Stereotypes may, or may not reflect an objective truth. A stereotype’s endurance is related to the reality the stereotype poses to people. Prostitutes may or may not be capable of love, but they endure, nonetheless. The endurance of prostitutes is quite outside the realm of love.
Your analogy falls flat. Let’s see if we can make a better analogy. How about the following:
Truth is to stereotype as money is to value.
Truth can be objectively verified. Value can be objectively verified. Stereotypes may or may not reflect an underlying reality. Money may or may not reflect underlying value. Yes, that is much better. What was your point again?

I’ve studied a hell lot of statistics and other types of mathematics because there were necessary to finish the university faculty i had chosen(believe me the mathematics you are taught in a high engineering university faculty,are a lot more complicate than in economical directions or in your biology classes).Anyway the our point is not statistics,i haven’t study biology so i don’t consider my opinion objective to that of geneticist’s or biologist’s(not to mention that even genecitists seems to fight like dogs and can’t agree to a lot of topics related to genes).Nothing of them though prevents from expressing my opinion on any subject,otherwise the owner of that blog should have deleted a lot of his posts and omit a lot of his poster’s replies.But i’ve got to say it and its my opinion after all,its not statistics that make genetics.Anyway at least i know that statistics dont determine the formation or faculty of a gene ,but describe it.They are indifferent subjects to relate them,when it comes to the reasoning for the mere existence of a gene.Besides that you are wrong for misquoting me,i didnt say that genes resemble to computers but they are made of chemical substances that allows them to change,mutate(if mutation isn’t a change) and many other things.That special or not substances that every gene is made of are responible for its faculties.For mostly enviromental reasons,our genes are changing at a certain rate.Some certain creatures developed in certain enviroments.Be it the first reason for violence shortage of food or shortage of space,for certain reasons we know that they have adapted to their enviroments,when immigration to another place failed or was impossible by any means.Adaption equates development of certain genotypes,formation of new genes,mutation and i dont know what else as non-expert on the issue.Some of that genes are the products of long period,and some of them are too difficult to change or vanish given a present movement of the bearer.For instance the slave-trading,when blacks from nigerian tropical region were relocated to a colder american east coast,where that group of people given their presence at that area for a longer era they maybe would have adapted “peacefully”,so non-black people who came later wouldn’t blame on them many heidous behaviours).Some other genes maybe are able to somekind of a quick upgration.A violent or abusive enviroment at an early stage of an individual’s life maybe has an impact,insignificant or not,to his/her genes.The problem is that most people give importance to the last reasoning,so that is our system at that time,the welfare system or educational programs of that time to blame always.Maybe its not,and we have to look in the first reasoning,and its not “white man’s” school or society to blame.I am not saying this so in that case to hint that all blacks are an inferior race,but that we should stop devoting our efforts in denial of the causes and reasons of rape in this case.Maybe some certain people need some special “medical” treatment to become less violent,and a new utopian educational system wont change the situation.I don’t blame black people for their imbalanced presence at most crime statistics.The english,spanish,dutch,jewish and french that brought them as slaves in America are to blame,but they are 250 years dead by now,and we should solve it by ourselves .Some people cannot adapt to certain levels of civilization as we conceive civilization most of us in the “west”,and forced intrusion(e.x.relocation of slaves) to “hostile” enviroments,until adaption being accompliced would lead to violent situations,if proper measures not taken.I dont wont to vilify black americans,extermination or defamation is not the answer.

So small in fact that they comprise 12.4%. Yet in that 12.4% they comprise more than double their percentage in rapes.

Every individual is responsible for their own crimes/sins. No black person alive today suffered institutional segregation or slavery. Only rapists if anyone would deserve to be raped.

There’s just no way to get an accurate measure of this, for a few reasons:
1) Most rapes go unreported.
2) Most rape victims will be white for the simple reason that most women in America are white.
3) The race of the rapist probably impacts the likelihood that the rape is reported (although I won’t guess to what degree).
Even if we started with the assumption that black men do commit rape on a statistically higher basis, I would argue that poverty and not race is to blame.
4) Poverty –> Drug Abuse –> Rape. Whether you’re a guy jacked up on coke or a drugged up woman unable to resist, drugs and rape are a common combination.
5) Poverty –> Gang activity –> Rape. This one shouldn’t need an explanation.
6) Poverty –> Rejection, Anger –> Rape.
All that said… there is the persistent degradation of women in the black gangster culture. Of course white men listen to that stuff too, so who knows what impact it’s having.

Crimes follow certain social migration patterns that have little to do with skin color. For example, violent crimes tend to migrate from areas of lesser education and wealth into areas of greater education and wealth. However conversely, financial exploitation (like the sub-prime A.R.M. real estate crimes) tend to migrate from areas of greater wealth and education into areas of lesser wealth and education.
To put it plainly, as regards to rape, rapists generally try to strike in neighborhoods that are less dangerous (softer) that their own. In fact, you will rarely find a criminal going into a neighborhood that he perceives to be more dangerous than his own, to commit violent crimes (unless he is desperate, impaired, or crazy).
Case in point is, most White rapists are not going into Harlem, Watts, South Chicago, or other poorer Black neighborhoods, to commit their rapes. This is because they perceive these areas to be risky. In fact, they may stay away from many majority Black areas altogether, because they don’t make any distinction between poor and middle-class Black neighborhoods.
On the other hand, Black rapists, from poor and undereducated areas, will be more likely to target people in more affluent areas because they consider them to be less dangerous, and less vigilant. It is likely that a higher percentage of White people will be living in those affluent areas.
It’s a simply an issue of criminal calculation, not one of color.

After some consideration – some of that about whether I should even mention it – I’ve decided that a better measure, if you actually wanted to know, would be to compare rape statistics among college students. Then you’d be looking at a situation where everyone involved was on a fairly level economic plane and living in equally safe or dangerous conditions.
Ultimately rape is the crime of an individual, and that’s the only place moral responsibility can lie. Some explain rape in social and economic terms, and I don’t doubt those are factors. But before every rape there is a man choosing to hurt someone badly for his own pleasure. Nothing excuses that.

Two ad hominems and one unrealistic suggestion. The fact that American blacks are currently more violent than other races is proven – it is up to the individual (blacks included) to decide how best to protect themselves. You assume racism but you are incorrect (you use this word to associate me with NeoNazis and the like -its a Guilt By Association and invalid). My stance is not racist it is realistic; this increased tendency towards violence is not shared by all blacks (“all” is key to defining one as a racist) nor is this racism shared by large sects of blacks around the world. I do not believe that all blacks have an inherent tendency towards violence so my stance cannot be racist. I do believe that through government programs, message (media, school), and dysgenics (also fostered by govt), violent pathologies and racism are and have been perpetuated in the black community. All races have a natural tendency towards group identification and if this tendency is fostered with claims of persecution by the Other group, violent retribution can result. It is no different than saying White Germans were racist and violent Jews, or Hutus were against Tutsis – both examples of racial violence against the supposed oppressor. We are living in a time in history when American Blacks are taking out their racism on Whites, Koreans, Mexicans, et al.; this racism is fostered by the government and supported by black leaders and white liberals who preach persecution by the other races (mainly White).

What should White people be noticing about themselves? Are you insinuating that it is Whites who are perpetrating the violence against Blacks in 2011?- statistics show the opposite.
But I know what you are getting at: you believe that white people are evil, racist, and responsible for almost all of the world’s problems since the Roman Empire – sounds like its time for a little payback. I’ve heard it before – in fact I was taught something similar in college;
White man killed the Indians and all that. Its almost as if you people believe Whites have a monopoly on racial violence – I’d suggest waking up. All races are capable of racial violence and whites are now on the receiving end – some cheer this fact.

See if you can wrap your mind around these words – in a literal fashion.
White people are NO MORE evil than anyone else. And yet as a collective/group they ARE “UNIQUELY” BASE to the nth degree due to their acceptance and breadth/depth/application of their whiteness – how it affects them, and how it affects others.
The overwhelming extent of the effect of whiteness on white (and non-white) people is so extraordinary inhumane over hundreds of years that I can only refer to it as – DEMONIC.
Now, if you or others take what I just said to mean that I’m saying that white people are especially evil – then that’s on you. I’m not responsible for anyone’s lack of reading comprehension.

Yeah, pretty much what I said. People who share race have and will attack others of a different race – not always violently of course. The problem is when you, and people like you, label Whites as the only race that does this – as the above quote does.

Your paranoid fears are WAY off.
For example:
1. Interracial rape in America is so rare there are no solid numbers on it. Just numbers cooked up by fear mongerers like Pat Buchanan, Stormfront and Internet trolls.
2. The black homicide rate in America is way higher than the white one, but the numbers are driven up by black-on-black murder, not black-on-white murder. According to FBI numbers for 2008, a white person is six times more likely to be murdered by another white person than by a black person.
Blacks are not deranged savages who kill and rape at random. They kill and rape for the same reasons as everyone else. The black crime rate is higher than the white one because the police are not particularly interested in protecting the lives and property of black people.

Hiding Black Interracial Crime
According to the 2004 FBI National Crime Victimization Survey, in most instances of interracial crimes, the victim is white and the perpetrator is black. In the case of interracial murder for 2004, where the race of victim and perpetrator is known, more than twice as many whites were murdered by a black than cases of a white murdering a black. The failure of civil rights leaders, people like Jackson and Sharpton, as well as politicians to vocally condemn black-on-white crime — and the relative silence of the news media in reporting it — is not simply a matter of double standards. It’s dangerous, for it contributes to a pile of racial kindling awaiting a racial arsonist to set it ablaze. I can’t think of better recruitment gifts for America’s racists, either white or black.

I definitely don’t believe that gangs attack White People a lot. Like Abagond said and we know whites do not move near neighborhoods around blacks. And most whites will not walk around a lot of Black Men because they are prejudice.I have walked around a gang of black men and they were high schoolers not gangs but still, they never did anything. And also majority of statistics are false 85% are I honestly believe and know Abagond’s statistics are true but every time I see whites are the victims statistics you know what I mean like (fake statistics FYI) 80% of blacks attack whites or something negative else about Black people. And just because you don’t hear whites ganging or beating black people doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You never see Black Women who have gotten kidnapped get attention like White Women who were kidnapped. Does that mean that Black Women NEVER get kidnapped? FYI there has been a major increase of White Men attacking Black Men not only by white police officers but random Men. I saw a video of these whites randomly calling a Black Man the n word about to attack him. A (ex or current) police officer was verbally attacked by these 2 white guys whites didn’t do anything of course. A Black Man named Elree Jones was attacked randomly slashed against his face by a white man and he still terrorized by that, of course. A Black guy at a university was beaten by a few white man (maybe 3 or more) because he was talking to a white woman and etc. Also I forgot to mention this but I was walking and 3 white guys in a truck yelled the n word at me and they drove down the street and of course I went the other way but I was/am so sure that they could have killed me that night, but just because you don’t hear whites attacking Blacks does not mean it doesn’t happen.

First of all, daily newspapers are likely to report any crime committed by blacks faster than they would report on their successes. Does that mean blacks are incapable of great things? Hell no, but you can’t use the news as an objective source of information. Second, black-on-white crime is rare, not in epidemic proportions. Third, even if it was, who’s to say this isn’t a form of “historical karma?” White people haven’t exactly been saints and angels in the past 500 years in regards to people of color.

Save that “whites are victims of black attacks” babbling for the people at Stormfront because they will likely come to your support faster than the people who frequent here. What you said is nothing new. It’s been said way before you were even born even when white-on-black attacks were more open. By the way, no one justifies black-on-white attacks in here. However, considering how whites have made the lives of black folks in this country a living hell, and like Abagond said in another post, who’s the say it wasn’t totally undeserved. You see, whether you want to admit it or not, white people in this country get to live, while blacks and browns are forced to just survived. That isn’t a delusion nor is it an exaggeration.

Universities, Hollywood, news, govt – about every public dispensary of pop culture. What is the message? Is it that blacks are criminals and a problem for civil society? No. Its that blacks are noble people who are treated unfairly, held down, and they must break the oppression of whites. Did Roots help black white relations?
The govt, through hate crime laws, affirmative action, quotas, and all the various govt hand out programs – instills in blacks the idea that they are being oppressed by whites – why else would they need all this help? The only other possible reason would be that they are inferior – but that’s not the message.
This is not a master plan by “government” – that’s not how it works. Govt does the bidding of special interest groups who provide either money or votes.
The bigger picture is why did they do it. Basically to break up white cohesion and power – blacks were only one piece in the game; they also used feminism, various anti-Christian wedges (outlawing bible reading in school – supreme court 1963), birth control, immigration of anti-white people, gay rights, sexual freedom, global citizen idea, change in anthropology – race is a “social construct”, cite white man as the enslaver and destroyer, destroy art (modern art), allow obscenity under freedom of speech or expression, portray sex as entertainment instead of child producing, place govt. in the stead of father, encourage easy divorce and give women the upper hand, break up all white areas by pushing non-whites in (mainly through urban renewal but also section 8 housing), and of course multiculturalism (whites can’t claim American culture anymore – America doesn’t have a culture they say).
Who doesn’t like white cohesion and power among the populace? Non-whites – and who organized them – World Jewry.

You are the one not coming to grips with statistics. Interracial rapes are so rare in America that there are no firm numbers on them.
The government DOJ numbers on it, for example, are based on SAMPLES of fewer than ten. Interracial rape is that rare. When whites read that they say that there are fewer than ten white-on-black rapes across the whole country. There are fewer than ten black-on-white rapes in the sample too but completely different thinking is applied to that. There they use the next-to-useless, asterisked DOJ numbers to cook up some laughable ratio, like that black men are 2000 times more likely to rape white women.
Interracial rape is rare because America is highly segregated and rape is an acquaintance crime – rapists almost always rape someone they know.
White men seem to have this huge hang-up on black men raping white women. It is very strange:
1. It is not based on empirical data.
2. Even when you point this out to them they twist the numbers back! They WANT to believe that black men are raping white women! What on earth for? Since when does anyone want to believe in a nightmare world like that?

The snatching of Koonta Kinte would not have been by whites but most likely other Africans or possibly Portuguese or Spanish but not American Whites.
Haley plagiarized the “non-fiction” book Roots from a fiction book The African – this is NOT history.
The main plagiarist was not even Haley but the Jewish author Murray Fisher (editor at Playboy magazine).
The movie could have shed some light on the white slave trade by Arabs as well. Between the 16th and 19th century alone, 1 million plus whites were taken into slavery. Whites have a history of slavery too – that’s something that is not taught.
In other words, the book/movie could have lessened the gap between black and white instead of widen it – but that would have defeated the purpose.

Nevertheless, the data shows that blacks rape whites more than whites rape blacks. Are you claiming that the data is statistically insignificant? It is significant. The sample sizes were large and the victim reports were small – as was to be expected. Simply because, out of 10000 surveyed, only 10 reported a rape by a black (or other iteration) does not nullify the statistics. There were so few white on black rapes that the percentage was statistically ZERO; as opposed to 16.7% for black on white. I’m sorry you don’t like the statistics by they clearly show that more blacks rape whites than vice versa.

Why black communities are morals fell after freedom? Lets see you try to blame that on white people.

The Titanic was a love story, dealt with a boat sinking, and never CLAIMED to be factual; the importance of the two movies is barely comparable. Roots was portrayed as a factual piece (12 years of research by Haley – lie) yet the book itself was fiction and it gave the impression to viewers that whites are the historic oppressor (yet millions of whites have been captured and sold into slavery). And no, there are no movies about white slavery- and that is not at all surprising.

I attended grade school at a 60-40 (black to white) school. When Ronald Reagan was shot, an announcement was made over the speakers – what was the result of this announcement? Was there sorrow, anger, despair? No, there was cheering and laughter ( a raucous celebration by any definition) by the blacks (this made the local news); phrases like, ” MFer shouldna been in da hood’ were heard by me.

Points to keep in mind:
1. The letter of the law is no longer racist in most cases but America remains almost as segregated in housing and schooling as it was in Jim Crow times. The difference between white and black unemployment, even when you take education into account, remains where it was in the 1960s.
2. Laws are only as good as they are enforced. Racial steering, for example, is still extremely common even though it is against the law.
3. Whites have found ways to undermine the law, like streaming in schools or ways to make juries whiter than they should be.
4. The courts do not work well unless you have money. In a country where whites have a hundred times more wealth than blacks the courts will heavily work in their favour. And even apart from that:
5. The reforms of the 1960s left the police and the courts largely untouched. Racial profiling, for example, is LEGAL. It is nearly impossible to prove in a court of law that the courts are racist – the Supreme Court has made sure of that. Drug laws are written and enforced in such a way that blacks are far more likely to wind up in prison even though whites use drugs just as much.
Not to say that the civil rights reforms were useless. Hardly. But neither did they wipe the country clean of racism and its effects.

No I do not want to be African, I am a Black American of African descent, just like you are a White American of European descent. You need to get this crazy idea out of your head that American = White European. Just in case you need a history lesson Black people have been in this country just as long as White people have, and Native Americans even longer! If it wasn’t for the contributions of People of Color (POC) to this society (economically, politically, and socially) AMERICA WOULD NOT BE THE NATION THAT IT IS. Why is it that we need to assimilate? What gives White people the authority to demand this? Is this a sense of “entitlement” that you feel? But again, Whites are the first one to start yelling about “freedom” and “democracy”……
So it is hypocrisy to expect White people to treat their fellow Americans as equals? It is hypocrisy to expect White people to live by this “freedom” and “democracy” crap that this nation was supposedly built on, and that White people use justify the belief that “makes America they envy of the world”??? So in your mind the only way for Blacks to get some measure of respect is to surrender who we are and as you put it “assimilate in White culture”, but WHITES HAVE TO SURRENDER NOTHING to get this same respect from POC? That is a fair society in your mind, and you wonder why I call you a racist?????
So all of these ALL WHITE neighborhoods, schools, jobs, clubs, etc. etc. etc. are created by Black people? No, it is WHITES who can’t have it both ways: you control all the economic, political, and social levers of power in this country, demand that people of color surrender who we are (assimilate) to MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE, then have the nerve to turn around and call our society fair and just.

You want a separate black America – fine -start working on it (but then you’ll have to stop complaining about whites so much – where’s the fun in that?).
Whites have already given much – safe schools, neighborhoods, city streets. They offered their hand and you rejected it because you didn’t want to “act white” – I’m sorry if you don’t like me but this country was 89% white a few decades ago- shall all whites start acting black?
Sorry, but if you don’t want to assimilate you can’t complain – you did fight for it in the 60s – remember? School integration, housing integration?????

Let me give you a very simple example to show why your non-assimilating idea doesn’t work. This is just one of thousands of problems. When you shake hands with a black guy, you do the black handshake. What do you do when you shake hands with a white guy? Do you kowtow and do a regular handshake or do you try to give him a black handshake. Pretend that the black handshake is actually African – problem solved – in Africa I would do the black handshake and an African in American would do a white hand shake. But you want some quasi-African culture in America and expect the majority to kowtow to you – it is you who must assimilate not me (I’m in the majority). That, or you can separate fully, get your slavery reparations and go away.

Abagond – pre-1960, I’d say most whites were racist. They didn’t like blacks and perhaps they had a good reason for that, I don’t know. We are taught that blacks are innocent and its simply ignorant white racism that’s to blame. But is it that simple? Whites didn’t like it when the Irish came over either but it didn’t take long for the Irish to assimilate and become like any other white. Same is happening with Hispanics, Asians, Indians – they all want to assimilate (slight problem with HIspanics but only because of numbers) and will. But with blacks it was different, whites didn’t think it would work and they were right; blacks don’t want to assimilate.
How long was it after the Civil Rights Act 1964 that we had our first black instigated race riot? 1967 Detroit maybe. So with equality, without equality, doesn’t matter. Prior to this race riot, there were other incidents of whites going in to black neighborhoods to avenge a black on white rape usually. So maybe the whites had a long history with black/white conflict and had a very valid justification for their skepticism.
I’ve always wondered what type of black parent would send their kids into an all white school in 1957. Were they forced or coerced in some way?

I think this is happening – look at Atlanta, Birmingham, or about any downtown area in the South – not too many whites. The difference between Hasidics and blacks is that Hasidics stick it to whites through rental properties and dishonest business practices; blacks do it through violence. I don’t know if you followed the Hassidic slaughter house in Iowa story – talk about screwing over the whites.
Orthodox Jews and Black Ethnocentrics – I have no sympathy for the Orthodox, or any Jew that is ethnocentrc but I do still have sympathy for blacks. I can think of no more dire a lot in life than to be a black man trying to do the right thing – his own people will reject him for it. Shame on you.

Do I want to be black – no, because I wouldn’t want to have to conform to your culture. Being white, I have the freedom to be me; but blacks must conform or face ridicule from fellow blacks. The culture that they conform to is base.
So what’s the game? What do blacks want? To join whites and live as one culture? No. To be separated? No. To leave this country for Liberia? No. It seems the only thing blacks can want is for whites to bow down and accept all things blacks – good and bad; blacks, as a people, must be exempt from judgement but free to judge all others – its the price whites must pay for slavery.

To address – what is white culture:
Its very broad but does have some confining mores. One difference between white and black culture would be the whiten more against criminality and racism. Whites frown heavily on criminals whereas blacks accept their criminals (rationalizing it by blaming whites or police). Whites condemn their racists but blacks accept and promote their own racists: a KKK rally would be booed out of town by whites by a Black Panther or NOI rally is never countered by a black crowd. Black comedians have free reign to make white racist jokes (and boy to they ever). Words like Cracker are not bad words in the black community but N#@$@#, Coon, whatever black epithet you can imagine, is a sure way to face social isolation in the white community.
Whites try to get along, blacks don’t. Reading comments here, it seems blacks have no intention of getting along.

A greater percentage of African American youth are detained than white youth for every category of offense. White youth were 66 percent of those referred to juvenile courts but only 53 percent of those placed in detention. Black youth, on the other hand, were 31 percent of those referred (though African Americans are less than 15 percent of the population), but 44 percent of those detained.
— Similarly, white youth were 66 percent of those referred to the juvenile justice system and only 44 percent of those detained in drug cases. Black youth, on the other hand, were 32 percent of those referred, but 55 percent of those detained.
— Minority youth are one-third of the U.S. population, but they are two-thirds of the 100,000 juveniles confined in detention facilities and prisons.
— Black youth with no prior admissions were six times more likely (and Latino youth were three times more likely) to be incarcerated in public facilities than white youth with no prior admissions when charged with the same offense.
— Two-thirds of the 7,400 youth under 18 admitted in 1997 to adult prisons were minorities. Between 1985 and 1997, the number of people under 18 who were sentenced to adult prisons more than doubled from 3,400 to 7,400.
— Though Black youth were 41 percent of cases processed through the juvenile justice system involving a juvenile charged with a felony, they were 67 percent of such cases transferred from juvenile courts to the adult criminal justice system.
— White youth were 59 percent of all drug -related cases petitioned to be sent to adult courts, but only 35 percent of cases actually waived to adult courts. Black youth charged with similar offenses were 39 percent of cases petitioned for adult court, but 63 percent of cases sent to adult court.
— As compared to a white juvenile who committed a violent crime, a Black juvenile is 18.4 times more likely to be sentenced to prison by an adult court, Hispanics 7.3 times more likely, and Asian Americans 4.5 times more likely.
— In 1997, three times as many African American youth as white youth were sent to juvenile prison for a drug offense.
— Black youth are more likely to be detained before trial than white youth, even for the same offense. Whereas 27 percent of African American youth are detained before trial, only 15 percent of white youth are detained. When the case involves drugs, 38 percent of African American youth are detained before trial, and only 16 percent of white youth are detained.
— Seventy-eight percent of drug offense cases involving African American youth are formally processed through the judicial system, while only 56 percent of similar cases involving white youth are formally processed.
— Nationally, custody rates for Black youth are 5 times as high as for white youth. For Latino youth, custody rates are 2.5 times as high as for white youth.

This argument about more White women being raped by White men than by Black men, and more being raped by men they know than by strangers, is just so damn silly I have to comment on it.
By this skewed logic I can make the argument that street crossings are more dangerous than hand grenades, because more people in most Western countries die every year from being hit by cars at street crossings than are killed by hand grenades.
The truth is that more White women are raped by White men than Black men for one single reason: Most White women aren’t stupid enough to be alone around Blacks. (And no, I don’t believe MOST Blacks who find themselves alone with a White woman will try to rape her, But the risk of being alone with a Black man is certainly much higher than being alone with a White man.

Abagond you’re to be commended by going right to the heart of what is clearly a sensitive issue for both blacks and whites. Perhaps you and others may want to consider actual data rather than emotional beliefs or “common knowledge”. Perpetuating myths is not just a “white” problem or a “black” problem – all racial groups seem to do it.
I have extensively been researching data from the early and mid-1800s to learn what actually did happen – not what we commonly believe or want to believe. There is extensive US census data that asked whether women or children were of mixed race. There are also collections or articles from that period.
The census data revels in a nuimber of ways that balck women were not having mixed race children in any significant numbers – white owners were not raping balck women. That’s the factual data. The census data does not show black people or white people reporting mixed children.
Why not?
Unfortunately slaves were an economic,ic asset and white owners were terrified of losing control as had happened not to long before in Haiti. Having sexual relations with your property would reduce your power and authority over your slaves. It would also impact on your relations with your peers who frowned on it and could ostracize you.
Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville – a noted French political thinker and historian visited the American South during this time and wrote a number of articles about race relations and brothels. He noted that there were very few “light colored” black people in Southern cities and those could most often be traced to free blacks – not slaves.
This doesn’t satisfy the people who “want” to believe the worst – and then this also becomes a form of racism.
I know a little reason and actual fact does not overcome emotional arguments – but it is important to understand whether you have anything to stand on when making these kinds of statements.

It’s a road to nowhere trying to teach the willfully ignorant and angry. No matter how much facts or proof to counter their fetish of the black male rapist, they will prefer the myth because it makes them feel better about not being black.
I’m just going to say this. Yes, there are black males who rape, but to believe that (a.) almost all of the black male population are rapists, (b.) it’s all based on biological information, and (c.) black men are the only men to fear as seen by the responses of these color aroused antagonists is nothing short of insanity of the highest order.

In the meanwhile, after reading through a number of the links it became clear that Abagond has some kind of affiliation with the writers of the Hicktownpress blog, a blog that I enjoyed reading last year.
In the meantime, back to my blog….I have had all kinds of problems with incoming links from porn sites, mainly from Romania, Russia and some other places.
In the link sent to me, there is reference to the fact that the person in question is a good father or is trying to convince me of the fact…..In the meantime, it turns out that there is some scandalous stuff pertaining to someone having an affair or should I say several affairs and all kinds of other crazy stuff.
Let me just say that my blog has been hacked on a number of occasions, while I’m certainly no hacker, I have other I.T. related skills….anyway, through reading the links, I saw that there was some association with the person who hacked my website, a commenter on here called Val, Valerie, Valentina and another person called Lynn.
It became clear that the person placing those links in my blog has some affiliation with Abagond’s blog and also Hicktownpress.
I went over to Hicktownpress to ask questions and next thing I know Stephanie Lynn Green, who is one of the blog editors and a moderator on scam.com forums, (I used to be a member of that forum years ago), decided to ban me with no explanation whatsoever…….Turns out that another person named Lynn used to be the main writer on that blog had died sometime in 2010.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, somehow or the other people on Hicktownpress decided to start writiing scandalous stuff about people in my family.
Now, I must mention Dave……Dave is a commenter on this blog. what a number of people do not know is that, and I hope I am 100% correct here, Dave is an undercover police officer or should I say works in some kind of Law Enforcement, private investigator, he also works with the Russians and also for MI5 or some other agency like that.
On YouTube, using another ID, Dave sent me a number of messages on one of my videos to do with fishing, having had a stalker following me all around in a white van, I reported that particular person to the police. Having read many of Dave’s comments on this blog, I came to realise that it is the SAME Dave that sent me messages in YouTube, says he runs a cleaning business.
Anyway, I have met Dave offline while I was working in Consumer Electronics a while back…I met Dave once at a training session for Samsung…He has some Russian connections, I saw him at the bar with some Russians at our training day…..Then, I saw him on several occasions where I was working and my drink (half a bottle of water) was spiked with Radioactive substances….Strange because on the days that I saw Dave at Harrods, he was supposed to be working somewhere else, so what was he doing at Harrods I wondered?…The guy appears to be some kind of Double Agent or Spy…Anyway, it turns out that Dave also works for FOX news and SKY as well and my phone has been hacked and my movements have been tracked with that phone…The SAME Dave commenting on this blog…..Basically, this Dave charater is some kind of crooked cop or maybe he is related to Abagond, I’m not so sure.
Also, apparently, someone has hacked my Internet connection and has probably been committing crimes with my account, so I think the police and other law enforcement were already investigating a few things, unknown to me.
It’s just a long story….There is more to the story…..Anyway, a few days ago, I discovered that my blog was hacked once again with rude comments coming up on Internet pages I visited as well as these links to stories in my blog talking about all these disasters in coded messages within the links to this post section in draft blogger……According to Dave and the messages he put on my blog, the person who tried to kill all my family is the author of this blog…..I assume he is referring to Abagond.
Anyway, I’m not too sure is Dave has got some mental problems or whether he is just trying to wind me up and annoy me, but he is NOT a good person and involved in a lot of shady stuff, it seems.
Well, people who know all about COINTELPRO and Black Operations will know exactly what I am talking about, and yes, it does sound bizarre.

Also, let me add that by his own admission, Dave has stated clearly on this blog that he is racist.
Now, a twist to the story, someone called Luke Smith tried to take out some mail order catalogue accounts at my house, which needed refurbishment work…..In the links I had on my blog, someone called Tracy Smith’s name came up in the links posted on my blog, Phoenix and all kinds of strange people.
Phoenix is someone I know from some black hair forums years ago, mixed race, half Korean and half black…..I’ve seen a Phoenix commenting on this forum.
In the meantime, I have had other problems pertaining to my mortgage and this whole thing seems to stem from PROPERTY and dodgy deals.
So, apparently, Dave is also involved in property AS WELL. In the links placed on my blog, it appears that Dave is on some kind of mission to change the land title and ownership on the land registry of my house…..This Dave fellow sounds like a criminal who also likes to play pranks, personally, I don’t find it funny at all, especially if people are trying to kill me.
So, I don’t want to out Abagond in any way, but I have to state my piece……This Dave fellow is harrassing me and he is an undercover moonlighter in a number of shady things….So, people need to know who they are dealing with……There is something NOT normal about that guy.
I was writing about health and beauty related stuff on my own blog until I stated getting harrassment from all kinds of stupid people…..These people are making me so flaming angry.
Also, I don’t want people including me in things that I am not involved in…..If somebody had an affair or affairs with others, it was NOT me and I appreciate being LEFT OUT of it and not getting involved with things that are not mine to be involved in pertaining to dysfunctional family relationships……Leave me out of it….PLEASE.

Blacks make up 14% of the population and whites about 70-75%. Therefore, white men should be arrested 5 more times for rape if they committed the same amount of rape, not just TWICE as often.
Therefore your line: “” Second, white men are a far bigger threat “” – is a bogus lie. I also assume white women report rate much more frequently than black women, because I find it hard to believe only 12,780 black women were raped in 2007 versus 185,430 white women. Do you believe only 12K black women were raped in 2007? No way.
Also, I checked those statistics, you left out the 13% “race not available” for the rapists of white women, meaning 21% of the rapists COULD be black.
If 20% of the rapists were black, that would equal about 37K white rape victims of black rapists, which is actually more in keeping with the yearly average as reported by DOJ.
YOU ALSO SAID;
But interracial rape is so rare that there are fewer than ten cases in its sample.
The SAME 2007 chart reflects that (*asterisk) meaning less than 10 cases in it’s ‘sample’ of the BLACK ONLY VICTIM rape category for the ‘perceived race of perpetrator’ and we know for a fact that there were at least almost 13,000 rapes against black women, THEREFORE you can extrapolate that when they state they used 10 or less it has nothing to do with NUMBERS of CASES. Otherwise, I guess 10 or less black women were raped last year.
I can go online right now and find hundreds of cases of black on white rape, so don’t EVEN make up that bullshit lie about the ‘rarity’ of interracial rape. The only rarity is non blacks raping black women.
From what I can see, both YOU and the people you complain about pick and choose what they want to reveal in bias of their own agendas.
ALSO – WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS UNFILTERED CRAP???
RAPE IS TWICE AS COMMON IN U.S. & CANADA THAN AFRICA?
Well for one thing, the US & CANADA are NOT WHITE COUNTRIES they are mixed, and up to 30% non white. The closest thing left to a ‘white country’ would be in Europe, like Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, if you want to compare white versus black countries. Either way, that is complete and total bullshit.
ALSO, don’t compare a CONTINENT (Africa) with many countries to A SINGLE COUNTRY (United States or Canada) because that is NOT the same.
HERE’S some South African rape statistics….
INTERPOL states South Africa is the RAPE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
A woman was raped in South Africa every 17 seconds. This did not include the number of child rape victims.
It was estimated that one in every two women would be raped.
Between 28 and 30 percent of adolescents reported that their first sexual encounter was that of being raped or gang raped.
Of South African men who knew somebody who had been raped, 16 percent believed that the rape survivor had enjoyed the experience and had asked for it.
CONGO / DRC – Rape is the primary reason for the spread of AIDS, and Congo is #5 in the world for AIDS.
Those DOJ statistics change so much from year to year, and for some counts, apparently they use small samples, in others not:
2008
White vics /117,640 White perp 74.9 Black Perp 16.4* other: 2.8* n/a: 5.9*
Black vics/ 46,580 White perp. 00* Black Perp: 74.8 * other: 0.0* n/a 25.2*
So for black victims 25% of perpetrators are ‘race unknown’ ??
I would seriously like to see a report on how they do their statistics, and I believe they have some reports like that available.
I honestly don’t see how looking at 10 rape reports out of 13,000 would give an accurate example of anything.

@ Rebecca Smith
From what I know thousands of black women are raped by white men every year in America and thousands of white women are raped by black men every year. And if I had to bet, I would even say that second number is higher than the first by a considerable amount.
Why? Because most rapists are ex-boyfriends, stepfathers and so on, and there are way more black men with white women than white men with black women. And THAT probably has way more to do with beauty standards, etc than any supposed extra-special Mandingo savage urge on the part of black men. Or any supposed extra-special impotency (or latent homosexuality) on the part of white men. The world is way more ordinary than it is on television.
The trouble with the DOJ numbers is that they extrapolate from a SAMPLE and when it comes to interracial RAPE that sample is way too small to draw any firm conclusions. But people hold them up as HARD FACTS and UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS. That comes from a RACIST misreading:
As to cherry picking and “Africa is a country” that is just what you did by cherry picking South Africa and DR Congo. Neither are “average” countries in Africa, far from it, and yet you are making them stand for the whole like it was some random sample.

Not sure where you are getting your numbers from or what country you are talking about. In America in 2009, according to the FBI, where the race of the offender and victim were known:

Whites murdered 209 blacks
Blacks murder whites not at 18 times the rate at which whites murder blacks, as you stated, but at twice the rate.
Black-on-white murders are way more likely to be reported in the press, as a Google search will show you, but they only account for 6.8% of all murders. Whites are 6.5 times more likely to be murdered by another white person than by a black person.
The fear that whites have of black men is not driven by crime statistics. I know that because whites keep twisting and exaggerating those statistics to fit that fear, not the other way round.

The belief that white-black tension is a govt. op is the wrong way to think about it. The tension is organic yet the goal is not to turn whites against blacks but to agitate blacks against white society and instill guilt for the white race in whites.
Any sane person watching the news cannot get the sense that it is whites who are the target of race-based news stories (can you think of one story who’s protagonist is a racist black?).
The responsibility for this black disgruntlement is to be instilled in the white – this is the secondary objective; whites should feel guilt and acquiesce to anti-white remedies (section 8, AA, anti-white history, etc.).
The goal is not to distract; the goal is fragmentation of white cohesion – there is no shadowy subterfuge.
The overall goal is fragmentation of white cohesion; hence attacks on race (no such thing), Christianity, homogenous neighborhoods, nationalism, nuclear family – white cohesion is bad for non-whites (especially Jews, or so they think).
To think rationally you must first acknowledge that people freely associate and almost uniformly group by race; race is the foremost determinate of shared interests.

Setting the stage for what the gov calls “civil unrest” translation: justification for more incremental martial law. By all right- Zimmerman should have at least been arrested and tried. He shot an unarmed kid on a public street. I sense political foul play. And, what most blacks do not want to acknowledge here, is that Zimmerman is not even really white. At least, not in the eyes of a white man like me.

There are black on white racist crimes steadily occurring and yet these stories are only covered by local media – what a great lost opportunity to stir up racial tension right? But doing so would foster white cohesion and so these stories are ignored (even though that means lost revenue for the MSM).
The move to a culturally and economically integrated world with large economic blocks (NAU, EU) is real and I’m not disagreeing – the current Western support for the “Arab Spring” may be to bring in more countries to the EU. National Sovereignty is incompatible with globalization but so is white cohesion or nationalism. What you are missing is an understanding of motivations and strategy. The motivation is to end White Western Hegemony -its a fulfillment of “never forgive, never forget”. The strategy is a psychological attack on white cohesion and a political/economical attack on the white nation-state. Notice, the solidarity of blacks is boosted by the Trayvon Martin story while Whites again are supposed to feel guilt.

On the face of it, these statistics disprove what you call “racist” arguments. On closer inspection, they reinforce them.
You state that white men are twice as likely to be arrested for rape. So what? They are 76% of the population of the United States. That arrest rate is proportionally less than the white population.
Also, where do you get your statistics that rape is twice as common in Canada and Australia?
You twist statistics by talking about INTERRACIAL rape. By pointing out the lack of records on interracial rape, you draw the unrelated conclusion that BLACK rapists do not make up a disproportionately high rate of the rapists in the United States. If that is your logic, please provide us with statistics on white-on-black rape statistics.
Your whole response is based on the misinterpretation of the original reasoning, statistics and the assumption that all whites conform to your image of them i.e. they are all afraid of black people and stereotype them.

If people like you cared so much about rape, why not take on the problem in your own neck of the woods and not base this on the color of one’s skin. Not all rapists have black skin. It’s common sense that people like you seem to avoid for your own twisted amusement.
I’m honestly sick and tired of hearing that since I’m black and male, then I’m more of a potential rapist than nonblacks as if nonblacks are somehow immune to the problem. Why not look at the problem as a social issue and not as a black issue.

Yes there might not be statistics about raping, but did you know that black men rape women because they believe that raping a virgin will cure them from HIV/AIDS. Most rapes are not reported because women are scared, men threaten them. Most rape crimes goes unnoticed, because women don’t have equal rights and will never have them, men disempower women everyday think that we are theirs to control. 1 in 2 girls/women are raped in south africa. every 17sec women are raped in south africa, so don’t you tell me that blacks are not violent and there are more theft statistics than rape. go do research before you make this website, because you have no idea…i know this information because i am south african, i know my country…don’t make a website if you are not sure about it….

I wonder how it compares with the UK conviction rate for rape, which for 2010, was only about 6%.
This writer in the Guardian disagrees:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/mar/19/myths-about-rape-conviction-rates
“The conviction rate for rape is 58%. That bears repeating. The conviction rate for rape, is 58%. The conviction rate for reportable crimes of all types is 57%. I know you will have heard the figure of 6%. Everyone has. That figure is actually an attrition rate, not a conviction rate, and even as an attrition rate it is wrong – the attrition rate for rape is in the region of 12%.
An attrition rate is the amount of convictions resulting from reports of a crime, and is not routinely calculated for any crime other than rape. Therefore without manually undertaking the exercise, it is impossible to compare the (true) attrition figure for rape with other crimes. A conviction rate is the amount of convictions following a trial, and is calculated for all reportable crimes.”

PE Childline 92nd Annual Report 2009
Child Abuse/Neglect Cases by age
0-2 yrs 20 sexually abused
3-6 yrs 140 sexually abused
7-13yrs 264 sexually abused
14-18 yrs 91 sexually abused
Total 515

Around 200,000 children a year are raped in South Africa
At least 500,000 rapes per annum (see above) and according to UNICEF (http://www.unicef.org/southafrica/SAF_resources_gembrief.pdf ) “40% of reported rapes were committed against children during 2004/05”
This produces a figure of 200,000 child rapes per annum
According to The Rape Survivor Journal 09/01/2008 (http://www.rape.co.za/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=875)
A study by Interpol, the international police agency, has revealed that South Africa leads the world in rapes. A woman was raped in South Africa every 17 seconds. This did not include the number of child rape victims. It estimated that one in every two women would be raped. Between 28 and 30 percent of adolescents reported that their first sexual encounter was forced. Of South African men who knew somebody who had been raped, 16 percent believed that the rape survivor had enjoyed the experience and had asked for it.
A girl born in South Africa has around a 1 in 3 chance of completing secondary school, but she has a 1 in 2 chance of being raped.
If 60 child rapes are reported and that represents 11.3% of all rapes, they extrapolated that 530 child rapes take place every day. This equals 1 child rape every three minutes.
Researchers interviewed 1,738 men of all race groups, in both urban and rural settings in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, provinces marked by high rates of AIDS and poverty, and the men answered questions about rape and HIV using small handheld computers in order to guarantee anonymity. Rape of a woman or girl had been perpetrated by 27.6% of the men interviewed, and 46% of those said that they had raped more than once.
Around 40% of rape victims in South Africa are children.
In Port Elizabeth, the country’s fifth largest city, it’s estimated that around a dozen children are raped every day.
“Approximately 40% of reported rape cases are rape of children under the age of 18 years.”
Forcing sex not violent – 79,007 boys out of 126,696 total boys = 62.35%
Girls enjoy rape – 40,714 boys out of 126,696 total boys = 32.1% (one third)
I have grown up in a world of violence, i know how it is how and hows are going there…and its getting worse that i can promise you…more white women are now being raped because black people are still angry because of apartheid, but seriously, they should get over it, if the aboriginals were treated worse than what the black people were treated in south africa, and the aboriginals can forgive the aussies, then i seriously think the black people should get over it…yes the black men believe raping a virgin so they can get rid of their hiv, then they shouldn’t have raped someone in the first place and should have prevented getting it, because if a mother is pregnant and she has hiv, the child have less of a change getting hiv than having it, because there are medication for that sort of thing…and seriously, raping a child less than 2years old is a bloody disgrace, i get sick thinking about it…i moved out of my country because i have more of a change of being raped and killed…south africa is the worlds capital of violent societies, and all that is cause by black people..i’m not racist, a lot of black people sais its the truth…
At the beginning of the decade there were 40,000 White farmers in South Africa and there have been 3,037 murdered in racial genocide and more than 20,000 armed attacks perpetrated by groups of militant, young Black racists on commercial farmers, since the ANC came to power in 1994. The farmers are often raped first, tortured by having boiling water forced down their throats, tendons cut, burnings, personal humiliations….

So if a majority of South Africans thought whites were better off being oppressed b/c of their evil past, then should they be pushed off their land, forced into shantytowns and excluded from society?

You’ve already shown how racist you are by trying to lead us to believe that all black men are violent. But, let’s not forget that your own kind has killed many more blacks since first arriving in S. Africa.
“the whole violence in south africa at the moment is to kill all whites”
If that were true, which it is not, then why are so many more blacks killed in South Africa than whites? And even if a few do want to “kill the boers” for their iniquitous acts, then so be it. They absolutely deserve it. Those are the consequences of an evil minority oppressing the majority.

Abagond – so blacks have more opportunity to attack a white than vice versa and this is the reason for the increased numbers – I’ve heard the argument. The problem is that in S Africa, the population proportions are switched and yet black on white violence is still much greater than white on black.
The other issue is having hispanic offenders grouped as white while hispanic victims have their own category – the true amount of white on black violence is most likely much less.
White fear of blacks has mostly to do with the persona many blacks employ; a public image which they chose. Stereotypes come from observation and always hold truth (yes, poor Southern whites are trashy, Irish like to drink) and blacks really do not tip (first hand knowledge).

Have you forgotten that this post is not about slavery? So, I will not engage in any more conversations on the subject.
But answering your question relating to the subject, you, as a white male, are seen as an individual by a stranger. You are most likely seen as an average human being that would never pose a threat to anyone. You are most definitely not seen as a potential rapist.
I, on the other hand, a black male, is seen with suspicion. No matter how I would look clothing-wise, to strangers I am seen as someone who could harm about person. I am seen as a potential robber, gang-member, drug dealer, and even a rapist all because of the way I look.
Here’s the real truth. Most rapes are intra-racial and not interracial. So, while there are white women who are scared of the big black rapist and there are white men obsessed that black men are after their women so much, the reality is that white women need to be much more afraid of white men than us.
You know what’s really f*cked up, Brahms? You and other white male supremacists will not breathe a word on white male violence against white women.

I said POOR Southern Whites not ALL Southern Whites. A people do not have to show 100% congruence of the behavior for a stereotype to reflect reality. Spousal abuse, child abuse, smoking, illiteracy, violence – that’s trashy and found at a higher rate than amongst poor whites in the north.
A much lesser percentage of blacks tip than whites (better?)- I was a waiter and I’ve had blacks admit as much.
To my query – how does white skin offer advantage? – you write:
“Does that explain why so many whites think blacks are inherently rapists (even though, historically, whites have raped far more black women)? ”
Not sure how this addresses my question.
“Inherently” – no, that implies genetics and most make no such claim. Most will accept the statistics which show that although whites are responsible for the majority of rapes as you stated, blacks rape at a much higher rate.
Or why 95% of all US CEOs are white males, when white males make up less than 30% of the population?
Ability, desire, work ethic, good parents, absence of enabling from govt, society, etc.. Racism – hardly.
Or why blacks get longer jail sentences for the SAME crimes committed by whites in America?
Blacks are more often repeat offenders or involved with gangs, hence, more dangerous.
Or why white Americans have a better chance at getting a loan at a better rate than their similarly economically situated black counterparts?
Blacks have a higher default rate which is no different than charging blacks higher health insurance premiums (hypothetical) because of their great incidence of diabetes and hypertension.
Blaming the ills of the black community on whites is called not taking responsibility. The government, education, and media all play this game. In the end, it enables poor behavior and worsens the black community – which is why blacks have deteriorated so much since Civil Rights. After rights were won blacks didn’t stop there. The focus then became not equality of rights but equality of position, wealth, material things; and if their isn’t complete equality, there must be racism – its completely illogical but its a nice excuse for irresponsible behavior.
A black who applies to medical school, has a higher chance of getting in than a white with the same scores. FACT. That is called legally sanctioned racism.

Between 2001 and 2005 on an annual basis 8.35 Blacks per 1 million were killed by people classified as White by the FBI which includes most Latinos.
In the same years 3.27 Whites per 1 million were killed by Blacks. (Again the victims called White generally include Latinos…)
Since the White population outnumbers the Black population by 6.7 to 1 so the offender murder rate per capita for Black perpetrators with White victims is 2.62 higher than White perpetrators and Black victims.

To answer your question, I expect people to see black people to see themselves, as individuals. I expect people to stop putting me and other good black males into the same group of villains you see on the evening news and music videos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_strike#Epidemiology
From the link above roughly 500 people in the US are struck by lightning in a year and 50 are killed. If we say 80% of those people are White then approximately 40 White people are killed by lightning in a year in the US and 400 were struck by lightning versus on average 882 Whites (and Latinos classified as White by the FBI) were killed by Blacks between 2001 and 2005 was . We have an example of weighing risk. You’d probably think it odd or irrational if someone had a fear of being struck by lightning in their home, but if they were outside leaning on a tall metal tower in a thunderstorm you’d probably tell them to clear out or else they might be struck by lightning. If you place yourself in certain conditions, your odds for harm increase dramatically. As I said before I know murder is actually fairly rare (but likely the most accurately recorded crimes, hence I think it can act as a rough guideline for risk..) but threats of violence, assaults, etc are markedly more common.
Why did you leave that out?
Well effectively that’s a logical fallacy and I can not anticipate what you would like me to include in every post and I believe I have brought it up before.. several times I think.

It is funny. In fact it’s a cause for concern. To people like Brahms, black-on-white rape is not so much a problem for them, but is a fetish. In some sick twisted way, that is their fantasy, a fantasy they want to happen as they bring it up often.
No one in their right mind would concentrate so much on a myth let alone one that is nightmarish. I always note that they don’t even mention intra-racial rape as that is more common like you stated. It’s like saying they will only protect white women if and only if they are raped by black men.

Peanut,
Regarding black-on-white rape, white bigots who scream and shout about statistics they got from someone else because they are not smart enough to figure them out for themselves or news reports (actual and fake) as often as possible are saying that in some twisted way they WANT IT to happen.
Part of the reason would be to have yet another reason to hate black men. Another is a secret turn-on they have. Either way, like you said, they only see white women as property which makes them sexist and misogynists. In any case they desire for any black male to rape a white woman even if they have to make it up.

You said, “Hmm….sounds similar to guys who ONLY get upset by rape or ONLY feel protective to a woman ONLY if she is “decent”, or someone they “care” about, cos, any other type of woman or girl deserves it, or asks for it.”
Exactly. If a woman is seen as “pure and innocent”, they will likely get sympathy and activism on her behalf. However, if the woman is known to be promiscuous, abrasive, materialistic, or flirtatious, they will get blamed instead of the rapist(s).
The message given is you are a victim of such an act depending on how you’ve lived your life, not that you are still a living thing.

It is estimated that a woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read.[87] One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year.[88] A survey conducted among 1,500 schoolchildren in the Soweto township, a quarter of all the boys interviewed said that ‘jackrolling’, a term for gang rape, was fun.[88] More than 25% of South African men questioned in a survey admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person, according to a new study conducted by the Medical Research Council (MRC).[89][90] It is estimated that 500,000 rapes are committed annually in South Africa.[91] A 2010 study led by the government-funded Medical Research Foundation says that in Gauteng province, home to South Africa’s most populous city of Johannesburg, more than 37 percent of men said they had raped a woman. Nearly 7 percent of the 487 men surveyed said they had participated in a gang rape.[92]
South Africa has some of the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world with more than 67,000 cases of rape and sexual assaults against children reported in 2000.[93] Welfare groups believe that the number of unreported incidents could be up to 10 times that number. The largest increase in attacks was against children under seven. A number of high-profile baby rapes since 2001 (including the fact that they required extensive reconstructive surgery to rebuild urinary, genital, abdominal, or tracheal systems) increased the need to address the problem socially and legally. In 2001, a 9-month-old baby was raped by six men, aged between 24 and 66, after the infant had been left unattended by her teenage mother. A 4-year-old girl died after being raped by her father. A 14-month-old girl was raped by her two uncles. In February 2002, an 8-month-old infant was reportedly gang raped by four men. One has been charged. The infant has required extensive reconstructive surgery. The 8-month-old infant’s injuries were so extensive, increased attention on prosecution has occurred.[94] A common myth holds that sexual intercourse with a virgin will cure a man of HIV or AIDS. Child abusers are often relatives of their victims – even their fathers and providers.[95] According to researcher Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala, the myth that is not confined to South Africa. Fellow AIDS researchers in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Nigeria have told me that the myth also exists in these countries and that it is being blamed for the high rate of sexual abuse against young children.[96]

Alaska and Nevada have the highest rates of spousal abuse in the country, yet they’re not in the south. The Midwest has an equally high rate of smoking as the south, and some southern states, like Virginia, have a low rate. There are low literacy rates among whites in several northern states like Alaska and Michigan, and Arizona and Nevada are top 5 violent states.
We’ve all have such experiences. I’ve been in multiple locations where most of the whites were not tipping. If I were ignorant, I could similarly conclude that whites don’t tip.
White men have historically raped and currently rape far more blacks nominally and as a percentage (of all black women). Since African-American men are still perceived as the rapists, then it’s quite clear that there’s a “white [male] advantage”
LOL…so I guess white women aren’t able, don’t have the desire, don’t have a good work ethic, don’t have good parents (unlike their brothers), and are all collecting checks from the gov’t. Business schools are composed of a diverse student body incl. 51% women…yet somehow less than 5% are CEOs of public companies.
You keep proving my point. You view blacks as “more dangerous” yet the worst massacre in the US this year was committed by James Holmes, a white guy. Fact is Latinos (who mostly select white on the census form) represent the majority of gang members, yet blacks face heavier sentences. And, black first-time offenders are also more likely to receive harsher punishments than their white counterparts.
If only it were that simple. Upper income blacks are even denied loans at a similar rate to LOWER income whites, even though upper income blacks are much less likely to default than lower income whites. And your hypothetical is silly because whites have greater incidences of melanoma, breast cancer and a host of other diseases, so they should pay a higher premium as well.
I didn’t blame anyone for anything. I pointed to statistical evidence that demonstrates unfair treatment and prejudice against blacks in the US. And “the black community” encompasses wealthy, middle class, and poor communities just like the white community. But, your prejudice blinds you to this fact.

Simply put it’s a numbers game….. I’ll put it this way.
White men are more violent than White women. I can conclude that in general it is more likely that I would be assaulted by a White man than a White woman… further.. younger White people are more violent than elderly White people. Hence I think it would be reasonable to think the risk of assault when one is around younger (say 15 to 30 year) White men is greater than the risk of assault when I am around elderly White women. A lifetime of experience and many statistics support these conclusions. Yet.. I know that most younger White men have no interest in assaulting me but I think it would be reasonable to conclude that my risk around younger White men is markedly higher than when I among older White women and hence exercise greater caution and awareness among younger White men. Would exercising greater caution around younger White men make me sexist and ageist..?
At least for reported crime the level of violence committed by race in the US basically goes Black > Hispanic > non-Hispanic White > Asian so I think it is reasonable to add race to the matrix of risk but I would agree that one should take many factors into account when weighing risk from violent crime and as best as possible judge people on an individual basis.

Great site I’d like to leave some comments here. First; people seem to think who is in prison or arrested is an example of who commits most crime in the US, Canada or anywhere else, it’s absolutely not the case and this assertion is wholly incorrect.
Who is in prison could indicate any or all of the following; 1) who is likely to get the best/worst legal representation, I.e., who has the most means; 2) who the police are most likely to go after, (and do not think they go after each person with the same level of enthusiasm) 3) Racial bias; in the notorious UK Stephen Lawrence case the police admitted they were institutionally racist because the country was too. 4) What areas police are most likely to conduct a police raid in the case of drugs. 5) A disproportionate amount of African Americans exonerated after being wrongfully convicted of rape can’t be overlooked.
If anything who is arrested/incarcerated shows who has the most/least resources or best/worst representation and also those who cannot even afford representation and are given council by the police themselves.
Is there any data on how many White men get off after they’ve been accused of rape?
Someone said in Canada certain ethnic minorities are well represented in crime. I have not known native Americans or Canadians as being identified for committing high amounts of crime. At least not in the same way some seem to think BLACK is synonymous with crime. Yet after African Americans Natives in both countries have the highest incarceration rates. Do they have high rates when they go abroad? Who knows?
Could it be that the domestic judiciary system in most countries is built and formed the same way as the international courts? I.e., White leaders/countries commit more war crimes than any other non White people. In the last 30 years we can count dozens of illegal invasions into sovereign states yet not one conviction of a WHITE MAN? Yet I see Charles Taylor being sentenced!!
It’s clear that White men have the courts on their side and possibly commit the most of all crime. They just get away with it more because no one is looking to charge them for anything.

It would help if you understood the actual argument that is being made:
Lets say that there are 95,000 White people on the island of Whitopia, and that there are 5,000 Black people on the same island.
Now lets also say that the Black rate of rapists on Whitopia (for whatever reason) is 30% — that’s 3 times higher than the White rate at 10%. Now what would that mean to the average citizen of Whitopia?
– It would mean that the number of White rapists would be 9500
– And the number of Black rapists would be 250
Therefore, the likelihood of being raped by a White rapist would be much higher than by a Black rapist, based on sheer numbers. In the majority of the cases, when a person was being raped on Whitopia, it would be by a White person.
BUT!! But!.. the incident’s of Black rape are STATISTICALLY HIGHER!!! So what? That is not useful information, because, in the end, 70% of Blacks on Whitopia do not commit rape at all. Just as 95% of Whites do not. Therefore using race, rather than behavior, as a way of trying to avoid being raped is just a dodge. Most Whites don’t commit rape – most Blacks don’t commit rape, and most of the rapists on the island are Whites – so what does pointing to a higher rate of per capita offenses among Blacks get you? The answer is NOTHING.
The only reason it is brought up is as a mislogic for racists to feed on. If the Black rate is higher than the White rate, then ALL Black people must be more prone to be rapists than ALL White people. In other words, it is simpletons way of trying to use the criminals within a certain group to draw undue conclusions about the non-criminals in the same group.

The violence that has happened in South Africa is a REACTION to the things that had happened there in all the decades prior. What did they expect? Things don’t just happen without a reason. If you go back behind most of the negative statistics in Black America, there have been significant White actions that strongly contributed to the equal and opposite reactions.

There is no ‘right-wing’ establishment. There never was. The Left usurped governance in the west decades ago, maintaining the comforting lie that this didn’t happen to blind us to the internationalizing ethos that now strips us of everything we own. It is the Left’s ideology which pours immigrants into white homelands arresting and imprisoning dissenters on little more than an accusation and with no recourse to evidence. It is the Left – communists; as often as not christians [you only have to observe the English church’s systematic betrayal of their own people to know there is little difference in practice] – which subverts truth-telling in the interests of filthy money and the world state bankers want to build at the expense of those who built the one we have.

Now about those figures……
What about them? Enlighten the self loathing white folks please!
The Left usurped governance in the west decades ago, maintaining the comforting lie that this didn’t happen to blind us to the internationalizing ethos that now strips us of everything we own.
Bring back slavery and the Nazis!
I am only sorry the delusion you favour appears to be shared so enthusiastically by contributors to this forum, most of whom come across as spineless, attention-seeking white people looking to fit in.
Actually they are from Moosecrotch USA. That would explain your perception of these self-loathing white folks being dense. They should all get out and see the world sometimes! The only one who is delusional is you besides which, your reading comprehension skills suck. Must be a full moon tonight.

Don’t worry, when the Chinese own America they will not tolerate 10% of the population committing the vast majority of back alley and gang rapes.
For that matter they will be seriously less concerned with arguing about the details of acquaintance and date rapes where the evidence tends to hinge on people’s feelings the next day.
Look at the bright side, enough Illegal Aliens are still wandering across the border to keep you from being a majority in prisons, even if in spite of affirmative action, you are still more likely to join them in prison than in college.
In 10,000 years you never built a wall, or a ship, or a two story building or created a written language and screaming about racism will not change the facts.

Well, there’s already a ton of comments here so I’ll give my two cents. This is completely wrong. Perhaps the FBI doesn’t give the percentage of rapes because it is far too skewed towards one minority? With a little math you can easily figure out that the black on white rapes are far disproportionate to the white on black rapes.

Yep, and with a cursory glance at history and present day criminal justice outcomes, we can all “easily figure out that” many white crimes are overlooked, fixed, covered-up, given second and third chances, not counted, plea bargained, community serviced, fined lightly or outright dismissed.
Oh, lets not forget all the white crooks (aka leaders) in politics, banking, finance, industry and the military who virtually get off scot-free with their crimes. As well as the liars who control the propaganda machine – your mainstream media, if lying to the public was a crime. Too bad it’s not, because their sins are legion!
It’s no small wonder why the crime the rates are disproportionate, Genius.
The Black Codes never ended. It was only refined, by design.
If crime is skewed towards a particular group, it’s white people.

There’s a lot of White men pushing the “Black rapist” propaganda. Like sex, propaganda sells – especially in Western countries. In America, Black men are accused of “raping” White women, while in the UK Muslim men are accused of “raping” White girls. Hue Hefner and Larry Flynt can tell us that blonde or brunette ladies are far from purity.
I’ve read many White male-posted articles on the so-called Black rapist. These “Black rapist” articles range from interracial relationships to the OJ Simpson case. LOL!! These propagated articles reveal to me that many White men have a personality disorder called SI – sexual insecurity. SI is one of many White male, personality disorders (Fragile White Ego Disorder, Dichotomous Thinking Disorder, Perseus Complex Disorder, Kronos Complex Disorder, etc.). SI leads its patients – infected White men – into believing that Black men are out to get their White women. A Black man can be married to a White woman but to the SI-infected White man it’s still considered rape. SI has affected millions of White men in the last 150 years.
Today SI is considered an epidemic. Unfortunately, there’s NO cure for SI. The good news is that many scientists are still in search for a cure. I wish them the BEST of luck in finding a cure for SI because I’m SICK of the Black rapist bullshit.
This is a picture of an interracial couple (below) but to the SI-infected White man it is rape: http://static.afroromance.com/image/ss/7/5/75_1315496153.jpg

Most racist writing I have encountered certainly would use vicious slurs and often attack the white woman in the above scenario, calling her derogatory names like “coal burner” and dismissing the black man as the white woman’s “pet” etc.. but as whacked as places like stormfront and their like can get I can’t recall them describing a marriage between a black and a white woman as rape, but perhaps there has been a trend change in recent years.

Not speaking for Michael Cooper who I do not know but, I wonder if he means that there is a disconnect where SOME white men cant quite believe that a certain type of white woman i.e intelligent, attractive, would be with a black man in preference to them. Then, all kinds of crazy things come to mind though ‘rape’ would be a big and far stretched part of that imagination.

I agree, but I think in the past it may have come about as a result of white women claiming rape when it was discovered they were intimate with a black male. It was easier for them to say rape then admit love or lust for dark flesh. This may be a carried thought with white men. I can’t say for certain.

By the way I did do a search on Google before I made my comments and couldn’t find anything that seemed to match Michael Cooper’s statement: “A Black man can be married to a White woman but to the SI-infected White man it’s still considered rape. ” .. if there are examples I am willing to read the articles if a link is posted.

To be sure there are white racist males who get angry and resentful at the thought of a white woman, having sex with, dating, or marrying a black man. Generally when i have seen such comments on the issue it seems to revolve around the thought that society is defective for not according them (the white males) greater status (places like stormfront love to blame Jews for this alleged condition…) or that the white women are defective.

I wouldn’t say false.. granted I am skeptical but am open to rebuttal. I am aware that there are websites that cater to men (often but not always white men..) that have the concepts of Alpha, Beta, and Omega men.. with extensive discussions about “game”. It is possible that the articles that Michael is referencing come from these sites. Even so, what little I have perused seems to suggest that they believe society in general and women in particular are denying these men their rightful dose of “vitamin P”…. and if it isn’t obvious that last phrase was written with plenty of sarcasm. As a father of teenage daughters, lying, manipulative, and/or coercive men give me the urge to place my size 14 foot fully into the nether regions of their backsides.

Hmmm but wait a minute we forgot that the USA is 85% white and only 10% or less black…
Now that’s 8.5 times as many white people, so to compare the ratio of blacks to whites.
13,000 time 8.5 = 110,500 so they are almost three times more likely to commit a sex crime than white men.

@ Sabrina – The census lists Arabs, North Africans and most Hispanics as ‘white’. He may have been stretching his numbers because even counting these groups the closest I could find to his cited 85% was the 78% used to describe a white ‘ super ethnic group’. Blacks are listed at 12.2%.

Crime Rates
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.
