The New York Times

The rate of AIDS among black women is 27 times the rate among white women.

Well, one does not have to believe in the science of genetics. But, if one does then my observation above is both correct and unavoidable. One or a hundred exceptions do not disprove a rule. Indeed, they tend to reinforce it. I am happy for the exceptions to the rule. Well ordered descendants of former slaves. Thankful even. But, there is a reason why a black male is 16 to 18 times more likely to commit a violent offense where the victim is injured than his non-black counterparts in the same economic and educational demographic. If you are a believer in science, then genetics is the only rational answer. If you are not, then go with the evil spirits theory. I think genetics is the kinder, gentler theory.

We're not all racist, but this little guy is:

I am trying to come up with an ANALogy for this.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Planned Parenthood gives a booklet away about HIV-AIDS that tells those with it that they can still sleep around and not tell their partner about their disease. That their right to sex trumps the other persons right to know...

Disgusting, almost unbelievable. It wasn't too long ago that withholding that information was the subject of some prosecutions for assault.

[RoosterRedux]

That would be Louis Farrakhan.

[Old Yeller]

Kind of surprising since the black professional seed sowers prefer the white wimmins.

[RoosterRedux]

This isn't the first time I've run into the 'blacks are dumb because of their genes' theory on FR.

Don't let it bother you. You know it isn't true.

I say this as a small town Southerner who spent his career in NYC and often heard that I was basically just a hick no matter how successful I became.

Some folks are just angry and stupid...and that's not our problem.

As a percentage of the population the city with the highest Aids/HIV infection rate, the highest infant mortality rate, and ranked consistently 49th or 50th in education. Washington D.C.

I didn't see that one coming... I would have guessed Detroit...

[Windflier]

Don't let it bother you. Some folks are just angry and stupid...and that's not our problem.

I'm too old and curmudgeonly to let the ignoramuses upset me much, but when I see something as stupid as that posted here....I've gotta admit that it does bring me to a full stop.

Thanks, Rooster.

Having sex with someone without telling them is a felony in every state I think, yet PP tells them its their right.

AIDS is, and has always been, a disease caused by bad choices.

The funny (ironic-funny, that is) thing is the libtards and the Bloomburg nanny-staters are always crapping on smokers for "behavioral caused illness" but ignore the same thing in AIDS...

[Peet]

(I sure hope I didn’t leave anything out.)

Ddin’t someone say the CIA introduced aids to the homo community? I kind of remember something like that said back in the 80s...

(Gotta have a gov’t conspiracy!)

[RoosterRedux]

You know, Windflier, when folks tell me they can't do something or they feel disadvantaged, I remind them of old Charles Krauthammer and his paralysis.

A man--any man--can do anything he wants to if he has the determination. That said, stupidity is a choice.

Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!

>> Well, one does not have to believe in the science of genetics. But, if one does then my observation above is both correct and unavoidable.

To be critical, your observations are not necessarily a consequence of one’s confidence in the genetic sciences.

The stats on crimes perpetrated by the group in question is definitely alarming. I have no problem with the classifications depicted by the stats, but you’re making subjective connections that don’t satisfy reasonable standards of certainty.

I see both surface level beauty and fugly in folks with dark skin. But I’ve also observed both beautiful and ugly character not reflecting the individuals’ outward appearances. These are not uncommon properties for any subset of humanity.
