Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime

Dr. Williams is a well known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated columnist. In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush Limbaugh radio program. He is almost like family to me, and I have benefited from his essays and books over the years. This past week, I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue. What got Dr. Williams going was the article by Matthew DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."

Dr. Williams confirms that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."

Dr. Williams points out teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many, particularly Colin Flaherty, whose investigative reports appear frequently (more than 100) at American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media, politicians, criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and property.

Number one is true, from the ‘80s I think.

What’s wrong with Colin Flaherty?

I’ve seen many of his videos and he speaks the truth.

Colin Flaherty does good work. Actually speaks the truth about black crime.

I had a very good day at the local casino recently and had a _lot_ of cash in my pocket as I headed to the parking lot.

I saw a young black man about to enter the elevator ahead of me.

I intentionally reversed course and waited a few minutes before getting on an empty elevator.

Was I racist?

You betcha.

Better racist and safe than virtue signaling and “tolerant” and sorry.

He's feuding with Rosie O'Donnell?

NOT the Wookie?

From what I understand, if you separate out crime by race, if you look at the white population of the country, especially considering violent crime, you get rates that are comparable to the Japan. I think that pretty much tells you everything you need to know. They have to toss hispanics in with caucasians to make things appear worse than they are.
