Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime
americanthinker.com ^ | 10/26/2019 | John Dale Dunn

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.

And of course Mr. Williams knowledge and work will be ignored with extreme prejudice by any lame stream outlet.

Surprising that someone of his stature would be willing tonbe associated even tangentially with the likes of Colin Flaherty.

Obviously he is a racist, hates all blacks and is a white supremacist.

The actual numbers, when fully comprehended, point to genocide-like behavior. The only thing preventing actual genocide of whites? Numbers.

This reminds me a bit of the recent stories about the decline of shopping malls, where black youth are found in large numbers. That is also a politically incorrect subject to talk about.

There are some other verboten topics about race we aren’t allowed to talk about, such as bad neighborhoods such as those represented by the recently deceased “statesman” Elijah Cummings. To talk about the conditions of those places and causes of those conditions will get you condemned as racist very quickly.

Happened to two malls in Rochester NY, within 10 miles of each other. Poooof - gone.
Third mall in the area put on heavy security and curfews and is doing okay.

Thank God at least someone has the courage to say what needs to be said.

Why,

Colin Flaherty is doing great work making sure people know about crime waves.

My daughter called one day. As we were speaking, she let out a scream. She said someone randomly came behind and pulled her hair.

I said “is she black?”
“yes”
“Run, run now.”

She ran away and got to her car.

Had I not read Colin Flaherty, I would be just as ignorant as most Americans about the knockout game and other variants such as my daughter was the victim of.

Black on white and black on black crime needs to be reported on.

“Obviously he is a racist, hates all blacks and is a white supremacist.”

The truly sad thing is that, half the people that read this wont get the joke.

Unless I'm mistaken black people are victims of violent crime way out of proportion to their numbers in the general population.And again,unless I'm mistaken,the perpetrators of violent crimes against blacks are usually...and perhaps almost always...black.

My guess is that the same is true of "brown" people as well,with "brown" people usually,or perhaps almost always,being the perps.But I'm less sure of that.

I'm not sure if either of these quotes are actually true but if they are they're very revealing.

1) It's been claimed that Jesse Jackson once said (or wrote) something along the lines of "when I'm walking down a deserted street at night and hear footsteps behind me I'm relieved if I look back and see a white guy".

2) It's also been claimed that Jesse Jackson once said to a largely (or entirely) black audience something like "it's not the KKK we need to fear,it's the BBB...the big black brother"

No. 1—True. Following a New York City incident, if I remember correctly.

No. 2—Not sure.
