My previous two columns showed how network TV series populate a parallel universe in their depiction of crime. As opposed to the real world, in TV-Land, almost all violent crime is carried out by white men, while blacks are either the victims of white racism, or heroic defenders of law and order. It remains to examine how things came to such a pass.
With the rise of the system of apartheid that I call Jim Snow, a funny thing happened, that the mainstream media has refused to report on. In an age of equal or even superior opportunity for blacks, instead of encouraging black boys to grow up straight, take advantage of widespread opportunities, and make successful lives for themselves, ever greater numbers of black parents and authority figures have encouraged black children especially boys to engage in violent, criminal behavior. This insane conduct on the part of black adults who cut off black children's noses, to spite whites' faces has been due to their boundless hatred for whites, and the surge of self-esteem they receive, every time they succeed in encouraging a young black to "stick it to the man." Millions of black adults have found such self-indulgence more important than facing the fact that they are pushing ever more young black men down the path to prison. Perhaps black adults feel that if they push hard enough, no blacks will be incarcerated, no matter what crimes they commit.
Black criminals also enjoy powerful support from influential, white leftwing and humanitarian groups who have long used blacks as a wedge with which to drive through their socialist goals. Oddly, though, white leftists have gone beyond the embrace of socialism to ape the anti-white racism of their black clients. I believe that there is also a class warfare element to such groups' support of black crime. These people's affluence affords them a layer of protection, in the form of security guards, taxi cabs, and work that keeps them far from dangerous neighborhoods, and which is an important status symbol to them. Meanwhile, they celebrate crime against whites who lack such privileges; when the whites complain about violent, black criminals, the leftists and humanitiarians denounce them as "racists" who deserve their fate.
The result of such race-baiting is that, according to the leftwing Washington, D.C. Sentencing Project, between 1989 and 1994, the percentage of black men between the ages of 20 and 29 either incarcerated, on probation, or on parole, rose over 30 percent. In 1989, astoundingly, almost one in four black men from that age group were under supervision by criminal justice authorities. In 1995, the Sentencing Project reported that "Nearly one in three (32.2%) African American males in the age group 20-29 827,440 is under criminal justice supervision on any given day in prison or jail, on probation or parole." (This organization's numbers are generally accepted across the political spectrum.)
Supporters of black criminals, such as the Sentencing Project, typically argue that the drug laws have a "disproportionate impact" on black men, especially in the case of crack cocaine, and that the men in question are "non-violent" offenders. Such arguments ignore the support that the War on Drugs has received from black leaders and ordinary folks alike blacks are, by and large, the least liberty-oriented group in America and perpetuate the myth of the peaceful, urban drug dealer. Groups such as the Sentencing Project also employ an apartheidist criterion of lawmaking, whereby laws should be enacted, in order to shield favored groups from prosecution. They are hostile to the great progress represented by the principle, enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, whereby all citizens are equal before the law.
Supporters of black criminals are also hostile to the lessons of history. In earlier phases of American history, groups of whites were heavily involved in crime. These groups included immigrant Irishmen, Eastern-European Jews, and Italians, or their American-born children. In previous generations, however, powerful, organized humanitarians did not arise to argue that the problem was not with the criminals, but with laws that persecuted members of "minority" groups. And so, those miscreants who did not die at the hands of their enemies or their intended "victims," ended their days on the gallows, in the electric chair, or in prison. Subsequent generations drew the proper lessons, and found legal ways to earn a living.
Few Americans today are aware, for instance, that during the first half of the twentieth century, the most cutthroat urban mobsters were to a large degree Jews whose families had come from Eastern Europe. Some of the most colorful portions of Howard M. Sachar's masterful book, A History of the Jews in America, are devoted to murderous Jewish sociopaths such as "Dutch Schultz" (Arthur Flegenheimer), Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, "Big Maxie" Greenberg, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Moses Annenberg (the father of the late TV Guide founder, Walter Annenberg), "Longy" Zwillman, "Legs" Diamond, et al.
By contrast, when American gentiles think of Jews, they are more likely to think of the schlemiel characters made famous by Allen Konigsberg (Woody Allen), than of bloodthirsty gangsters. What a difference apartheid makes.
In contrast to the racial profiling myth, which claims that innocent young black men are targeted by racist, white policemen, today law enforcement officers are more likely to avoid confrontations with black suspects like the plague. And great numbers of crimes committed by urban black criminals not involving guns or drugs are "disappeared" by the authorities. If the supporters of black criminals studied history, they would know that in the days when black men really were targeted by racist, white law enforcement officials and violent, private, white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (whose respective memberships often overlapped), the black crime rate was a fraction what it is today.

Mudboy Slim (4 August 1998)
Big time. The black guy who invented the "holiday" Kwanzaa from a jail cell was well noted for his crimes against blacks. In fact, he was in prison for torturing two black women who worked for him that he was convinced were trying to poison him. What's really weird is that this guy seemed really racist against blacks. He got along really well with prominent whites in the community and his crimes were almost exclusively against blacks.

That would be Ron Everett aka Maulana Karenga aka Ron Karenga, who was on the FBI payroll, when he wasn't doing time, and is now a tenured professor of Hate 101, at taxpayer expense. Somebody -- Annie Coulter? -- wrote an excellent annual Kwanzaa expose on him recently.

The cost of all this criminal justice supervision has got to be astronomical. I wish he had included figures so we could see exactly how much this gross black societal failure is costing greater society.

The cost sure is astronomical. But lefties and black supremacists always talk about it, as if it were some sort of campaign AGAINST black men, as opposed to being occasioned by black criminals' war against America. The lefties and supremacists lie about education budgets, saying they have been going down for years, and demand that they be raised by as much as 100%. As if paying the racist, incompetent, black teachers who have taken over slum schools more money would make thugs crack the books!
My apologies for pasting a lengthy quote, but this is on the money. |
I don't know, but in New York, over 90% of violent felons are either black or Hispanic. Michelle Malkin's book, Invasion, probably has the national numbers for illegals.
