'COPS' Creator Reveals Intentional Distortions on Race and Crime
Townhall ^ | May 31, 2011 | Guy Benson

Posted on 06/01/2011 6:57:20 AM PDT by mcosta79

John Langley, the creator of the long-running FOX program, COPS...says he's irked by some media critics who accuse the show of perpetuating stereotypes about "people of color" by depicting a disproportionate percentage of minority suspects. Au Contraire, Langley protests, he intentionally shows an inordinate number of white suspects in order to side-step the facts. "I show more white people than, statistically, what the truth is."

"I once saw a stat on this site that took my breath away. If you took out black and hispanic crime verses only white crime compared to only the white population. There was virtually no crime in the country. "

I agree due to the obviousness of your post. I have read that white people as a group are more law-abing than the best-behaved country in Europe.

It might be Mao, I heard of a Chinese guy by that name and he knocked off quite few people, bad dude and funny eyes too. Like a fat bird looking at a worm it was going to eat.

Course I also heard a drug against that old lumpy faced dude, imagine I'd be bad natured too if I had the name Mao Ze Dung! or some such.
“Hello Mr. Dung! Is that a new perfume you're wearing or have you been in the cow barn already this morning?”

Anyway that drug was called a MAO Inhibitor, don't blame me, I'm reading right off the cereal box here.

Then again you may be on to something cause I also heard of some African natives that didn't want to drink tea with the Brits or something and was called MAU MAUS.
Probably not the same, I don't think any of them spoke Chinese. Drugs? Wellllll.....

Saying that a race is genetically predisposed to violence is just ignorant. They have no idea what they are saying and they only believe because they want to believe

I get your point, but there is a relevance to whether the propensity for crime is cultural (which we agree on), or genetic,

because the latter reasoning is true racism, ie, that the genes of one “race” produce an inferior human to another “race’s” genetics.

"And while you’re at it, make sure you do a “compare and contract” to all those killed in Europe (whites killing whites, if I remember correctly) during WW1 and WW2. Or how about the American Civil War? Need I continue?'

I do not want to get involved in the "nature vs. nurture" debate as it relates to black crime, but I have to respond to your comment:

Organized warfare has absolutely no relation to urban street crime. To compare the two is silly and inaccurate.

In a lot of cases, it has to do with whether the individual thinks the rules apply to them or not. Maybe s/he believes that because of (fill in the blank) it is ok to steal, lie, cheat, use another’s prescription, make money however they can. Problem with that is there is always going to be God to answer to at some point.

The high crime rate among blacks in America is a direct result of race pimps keeping blacks angry. Its the same with the lack of patriotism among blacks. They’re taught that slavery was their only contribution to America and that’s a lie. There we black men being elected to public office in George Washington’s day.

Watch the TV show “First 48” that tracks the first 48 hours of homicide investigations. There is a definite demographic trend.
********************************************

I was just going to say that. When it comes to homicide, they really have no choice. They wouldn't have a TV show if they had to show an equal amount of white murderers.

Genocide is a violent crime right?

While all races have practiced it at one time or another, to one extent or another, (throughout history) what races have the worst record in this regard?

Are we to assume they have a genetic predisposition for violence?

In spite of the fact that many refuse to see it, what happened at multiple locations during Memorial Day Weekend is about culture not genetics.

Caucasian (Germans and Russians) and Chinese. The better question would be to ask which religious/political groups have practiced genocide most thoroughly. That would be followers of the politico-religious philosophy of communism.

It’s a combination of a higher rate of poverty (crime increases in all poverty situations) and a general acceptance of crime in the culture (much like occurred with the Mafia in the mid 20th century). The latter is more pervasive because it crosses economic lines. That’s why black politicians get busted so much. The Hispanic community has the same problem. A professor told me that students from Red China cheat constantly. It’s acceptable and even rewarded in their culture.

Also, blacks make really good victims because they can be silenced so easily. “No snitching”.

Precisely!

Then there must be a communism gene since it's all about genetics. /S
