Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War
Bill Whilttle ^ | August 20, 2014 | Bill Whittle

Posted on 12/01/2014 7:58:20 PM PST by rlmorel


Bill Whittle states: "Spokesmen for the protestors rioting in Ferguson and St. Louis – and, in fact, a large percentage of the general population -- claim that there is an epidemic of white on black crime, of white cops shooting unarmed black teens. Is that, in fact, happening?"

The answer to this question may be found in Bill Whittle's excellent video found here: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

I will summarize his video, but I implore you to watch the video. Here are the raw statistics for general Black-on-White violent crime and general White-on-Black violent crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:

Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:

But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:

If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:

Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:

When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:

"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."

Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning – if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.

There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of – in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.

And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example – as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

I can’t poison the minds of my children (as many on the other side obviously are doing), but I’ll be damned if they are to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. I’ve warned them that people have been raised to hate them for being white (to the point of murder), and they should avoid situations where it may be an issue.

They can figure out the rest by watching news out of nearby Newark NJ.

If there were to be a true “race war” in the US, I predict that the black population will decrease by at least 25% but probably more. Also thousands of whites will die too along with Asians and Hispanics.

In the end the remaining blacks will cry “victim status” and stupid whites will attempt to give in. It’s a stupid, vicious cycle that liberals want to continue.

And muslims will use it to their advantage. Black and white Americans need to unite against islam as it is the true cancer.

In order to defeat your enemy you should learn their ways. I’ve read Rules for Radicals and I highly recommend that all conservatives do so too.

Once we learn what they intend to do we can counter it.

Greetings rlmorel:

Guessing the incidence of black-on-black violent crime is more damning.

Cheers,
OLA

I would think it is far, Far, FAR more damning, not just from the direct damage to affected blacks and their families (which has to be grievious) but from the notion that it isn’t something to be addressed or even mentioned.

It is the underlying assumption by the powers that be, nay, their own “allies” such as liberals and the race charlatans, that black lives are worth less in some way.

It was disgusting to read. It was one of the hardest books for me to read because of the constant loathing I felt for Alinsky and all liberals who adhere to his teachings.

I felt the same when I read it. It was similar to reading the quran and Mein Kampf. They both gave me a headache something fierce. I couldn’t stomach finishing the quran but I did read all of Mein Kampf.

Yes, that graphic on Napoleon’s Russian campaign is one of my favorites, too. I have read several books on that campaign and my mind still cannot wrap itself around how such a large army was lost. One thing I really appreciate about the map is how it shows that half the army was lost on the way in. Everybody attributes the losses to the retreat, but the entire campaign was ruinous.

Excellent analysis...and true. Excellent material to add to my statistics in:

Black and Latino Americans: For God's Sake Wake Up!

What has to change in America with respect to this is that the facts associated with how people like Michael Brown grow up to be thugs and criminals must be publicized and dealt with for the truth that it is.

Most of it is due directly to the demnographics created by the welfare state and the progressive liberal programs and agenda put into place over the last 50-60 years. The liberal progressives continually wrest the truth about this in order to avoid these facts. They willfully ignore them and then blatantly pervert the truth into their false narratives in order to continue to advance their ideological goals.

That's what is really happening.



What Happened in Ferguson, MO...and Why

I do not care what color a person is, what their religion is, what their culture is, etc. when these set of facts come together, the outcome is not only predicatable, it is just:

This is what ocvcurred that day. it is cooberated by seven eye witnesses and the Police Officer's report. MOst of the woitnesses are African-American themselves.

The big strong Micael Borwn committred multiple crimes and was willing to assault and injure the officer in order to not get caught and apprehended. In the end, he was going to attack and seriously injure or kill that officer.

Michael Brwon was acriminal thug who reaped the direct consequences of his own actions. Plain and simple, and it does not matter what color he was.

The officeer acted approriately...even herocilally IMHO...and the grand jury, once they saw the evidence, amde the onluy rational and just decision they could...NO BILL...no charges.

Activists, Race baiters, progressive liberals want to turn this into a race issue...but it was not and is n9ot. Those people inciting these riots, IMHO< including the US Attorney General and thee Rpersident, should themselves be charged with the looting, arson, assault, and murders that have occurred as a result of that inciting.

Thanks for dropping in on the thread...I always look forward to your commentary on FR, JH.

Hope all is well-

I think a race war can be avoided (even though with the statistics you and I posted, it can and will be argued we are already embroiled in one) but I think there has to be a cleavage in the black community between the people who embrace or tolerate the racist, violent, hip-hop black thug culture, and the people who realize that being on the government teat with a life that has a focal point of staying out of the way of beatings, bullets and knives is no future at all.

I know there are a lot of blacks who won't stand up and decry that culture because it means both ostracism by other blacks and liberals, and an acceptance that they are associated with a group that is richly deserving of malediction for its conduct. I think that is a difficult thing for people to swallow no matter your color or culture.

But I do believe that the principles of Booker T. Washington will eventually trump this destructive, corrosive, violent, black hip-hop thug culture.

I have to believe that will happen, in spite of these people, who appear to desperately NOT want that to happen.

Many in the black community somehow fail to see that these men, and people like them, are their real enemy.

some will be puzzled by these statistics (making the jump from 5x up to 200x, so I will try to offer an explanation
[If] the violent crime statistics were equal, . . . It would be an extremely common conclusion for people . . . to trumpet that whites commit just as many violent crimes against blacks, and that it is white prejudice and racism that leads people to believe that black neighborhoods are more dangerous to whites than white neighborhoods are to blacks
. . . but that would be wrong because since there are five times as many white neighborhoods as black ones, a black would have to walk through five white neighborhoods to be in as much danger as a white would be walking through one black neighborhood. Said differently, to create one neighborhood as dangerous to blacks as the typical black neighborhood is to whites, you would have condense all of the danger in five typical white neighborhoods down to one dangerous neighborhood which contained the same threat to blacks. And remember the counterfactual assumption that the number of whites assaulted by blacks was only as high as the number - rather than the factual factor of 5 difference.
So that is why the 5x value . . . normalized to 25x due to population . . . displays more accurately the real danger . . .

But this 25x number is for all violent crime which encompasses everything from simple mugging (by gunpoint, knife or threat) and rape all the way up to murder.

If you restrict the “violence” being considered to only that which requires medical attention, I take it, the black-on-white aggravated assault statistic is four times worse than the 5:1 ratio of overall black on white assault.

. . . which raises the issue of why blacks disproportionately claim “assault” when not physically hurt. Maybe because they can?

I don’t see it in terms of a race war, because I can’t bring myself to imagine the ends that will bring.

But I think the real battle (and the best way to avoid an actual race war) is going to be to get hard-working, family oriented blacks to break their segment of society away from “black culture” and embrace “American culture”.

I think it will be difficult, because those blacks who philosophically may be more likely to accept the premises put forth by Booker T. Washington over a century ago, are going to have to endure a split from the blacks who embrace the philosophy of W.E.B. DuBois, hip-hop culture, and so on.
