		<description><![CDATA[As a retired police officer I will attest to the reality of the very high crime rate in the black community, but I also saw the reality that other blacks were almost always the victims. More than 75% were women, old people, children, and rival gang members. I am a white person who spent thousands of hours in mostly black public housing areas trying to protect these victims over a 15 year career. As a white police officer I was told by supervisors to stay out of the projects so the department would not be accused of harassing black suspects. My reply was that 90% of the people there were victims who deserved police protection and wanted the police to arrest and remove the crooks who beat, raped, robbed, and murdered them and if I was not allowed to patrol the projects I would go to the local newspapers with that issue. I was allowed to continue my patrols. I was shoot by a sniper once while doing this. The issue of black on black crime and the causes has some responsibility with the history of slavery, but the white community has tried to help overcome this over the last 50 years. In Georgia, Gov. Carl Sanders and Atl. Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. were progressive southerners who helped do this in the 1960&#039;s. Federal education programs, public housing, food stamp programs, welfare to work programs, judicial rulings, and progressive legislative actions have come a long way during that time. I was told by a highly educated and succesful black man, during many discussions we had on this subject, that young black men aspired to have three things, nice clothes, cars, and women. He also had opinions of the black race similar to those expressed by Bill Cosby. I believe we will always have racial tensions as long as black people refuse to see the enemy within thier own communities who are black, and white people who are scared to express thier true feelings so we can have an honest discussion on race. In the next 200 to 300 years the racial lines will become completely blurred to the point  where we will all be a combination of all the races and will finally simply become the HUMAN RACE.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A. said. You&#039;re an idiot. Blacks face higher incarceration rates because they commit a disproportionate amount of crime. Remember when Jesse Jackson said he felt relieved to see that the footsteps he heard behind him belonged to white people, he was expressing a truth (though for ideological/propagandistic reasons he regretted it). It was  black law makers who pushed for stiffer penalties for crack cocaine because violence associated with the sales of crack cocaine were wreaking havoc in the black community. Class dismissed. P.S. I love your implicit wish that white people be the victims of violence. By the way, you know who was a victim of chickens coming home to roost? Barack Obama&#039;s hero Malcolm X.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh please. 

Where do these commenters come from? Stormfront? 

White people, your status is not threatened. You can go lay your head and be happy that your chickens are not coming home to roost, even though you can take to heart that they very well should. 

Welcome to the racial dynamics of the Justice System. White people are less likely to be imprisoned than black people, and if they are, they&#039;re given a very lenient sentence. 

Take a look at the disparities between drug use. 

Instead of surfing the internet, some of you should be cracking open a book. And stop making conservatism look bad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would seem that according to the SPLC the Department of Justice is a hate site because they actually are the source of statistics that show that certain crime rates are enormously higher in some groups.
Truth is not a matter of politics, and in deal;ing with these statistics without intellectual integrity, the SPLC demolishes it&#039;s credibility as anything other than a political or propaganda outlets, which really doesn&#039;t make it distinguishable from what it calls &quot;hate Sites&quot;.  When it labels V-Dare a hate site, it becomes obvious that anyone who is not in political lock-step with SPLC is going to be smeared as &quot;racist&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow!  I guess you all just hate each other.  All of your blogs became less about the article and more about hurling insults at each other.  It didn&#039;t become about solving the problem.  It became about who was right and who was wrong.  It became about the statistics.  It became about who is better.  I am young.  26.  I have an incredible amount to still learn about the world, but one thing I do know and one thing that is very clear is that we do have a problem and no one is doing anything to fix it.  Everyone just wants to point a finger at someone else.  Black people.  White people.  Brown people.  Yellow people.  Everyone else is the problem and you are always right.  What about, instead of looking at what is happening and walking away or rubber necking, you take a second and help out.  Sit down and talk, instead of immediately judging and condemning.  I am the child of a mixed union, so I feel the hate everyday.  White people consider me a criminal black and black people consider me a traitor.  I have felt confused until I realized that we are all just people.  Everyone bleeds red.  We all come from one source, where ever you believe that is.  No one is better or worse.  Some people have it better or worse.  Blacks and whites alike.  We could all take a little lesson from Brad and Angelina who have the United Nations going on in their home.  My only point is, statistics aside, because they don&#039;t matter when it comes down to it, IQ in the trash, because it is hard work that gets you far in life and not a high IQ (look at &#039;A Beautiful Mind,&#039; that man ended up in a mental institution), love each other, stop judging each other.  Stop pointing fingers and associating blame.  I am not better or worse because I am not black and not white.  I happen to be both and sitting in the middle is just fine with me.  There is nothing wrong with it.  The only problem I see is when people don&#039;t try to find a solution.  It is not someone else&#039;s problem because we are all one PEOPLE.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And still no response from Ms. Beirich. She&#039;s been called out as race-baiting huckster for this particular article and others on numerous blogs. But she refuses to acknowledge her bias and her unfounded attacks. And she&#039;d have us believe that it the white male-dominated media that never takes responsibility for outlandish remarks and criticism. Hmmm. Well, at least her fruadulant, unfounded, broad brush comments have been exposed for what they are---a sham. At least we can be heartened by that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, at Ruby Ridge a baby was shot and killed by a federal sniper while in his mother&#039;s arms. And I&#039;ll bet you less than 2% of white America has the slightest clue what &quot;Ruby Ridge&quot; even refers to, whereas everyone knows who Rodney King was. What do you think of that? And as for Waco, you must not know much about that particular case, because a great many non-white men, women AND children were killed. (See John Conyers heated questioning of Janet Reno and draw your own conclusions).

At any rate, would you like to take this opportunity to defend black America&#039;s joyous response to the OJ verdict?

Incidentally, my white cousin was shot and killed by police officers, shot 17 times, in fact, and didn&#039;t fire a single shot at them. I loved him, but I can&#039;t blame the police. They&#039;re only human and I doubt they woke up wanting to take a 40-year-old man&#039;s life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What the SPLC does, though no doubt with the best of intentions, is to insist on a reality that most white people who live on the streets know is an ideologically constructed lie. They&#039;re more concerned with the potential white reaction to violent interracial crime than the violent interracial crime itself. However, I think you (SPLC) create more white racism this way. If you want whites to have sympathy for the plight of blacks, you can&#039;t lie to us when the truth is all around us. It just creates cynicism and isolates us. The media of course is complicit. For example, you almost never see a black accused of raping a white woman on the TV crime shows--the exception being when he has been falsely accused by a wicked white prosecutor and/or police force.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What the SPLC does, though no doubt with the best of intentions, is to insist on a reality that most white people who live on the streets know is an ideologically constructed lie. They&#8217;re more concerned with the potential white reaction to violent interracial crime than the violent interracial crime itself. However, I think you (SPLC) create more white racism this way. If you want whites to have sympathy for the plight of blacks, you can&#8217;t lie to us when the truth is all around us. It just creates cynicism and isolates us. The media of course is complicit.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;By the way, IQ tests primarily measure educational attainment, reserving only 10-33 percent of the materials for raw cognitive ability. &quot;

Educability is controlled by IQ, not the reverse. Futher, simple reaction time tests, in which the subject is asked to respond to a simple stimulus such as the appearence of a color or object on a screen, also correlates well with IQ and the racial IQ gap also shows up. Also, blacks with an equal amount of education do not score as well as whites or Asians. Also, blacks from families who earn more than 80k/year do less well on IQ tests than whites from families who earn less than 10k/year. Also, blacks adopted by well-off white families as toddlers do not score as well on IQ tests as whites from similar socio-economic backgrounds. Also, twin studies reveal that IQ is about 75% heritable. Twins reared apart show remarkable consistency in IQ scores despite being raised in sometimes very different socioeconomic environments. I could go on but I&#039;ll leave it at that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;You hit the nail on the head, the color of the criminal does not matter. &quot;

This is like saying that the make and model of two cars don&#039;t matter much once they both break down. However, some makes and models are less likely to do so and it might be wise to consider such things when in the market for a new automobile. The race of criminals allows us to make statistically valid assumptions about the likelihood of future crime when confronting people of different races. It means that it&#039;s perfectly logical to be more suspicious of blacks with regard to violent crime and that racial profiling is nothing more than a recognition of reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I went to the web site mentioned above, then I read their Color of Crime report, then I checked some of the stats with the US Dept. of Justice.

There isn&#039;t one thing they reported that I have checked so far that I could find incorrect.  Not only that, but their contention that Hispanics are lumped in with white crime figures is also correct, and disturbing to me, by the way.

I checked incarceration rates as well, and blacks do disproportionately  have greater numbers in prison, with Hispanics a distant second, whites third, and Asians last.  

I also gleaned the following current wanted list by the FBI and was amazed to see just one white face on there.  

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/fugitives/vc/murders/vc_murders.htm

I get so sick of reading the kind of tripe this site puts out about white racism and invariably when I check into it myself I find it&#039;s a bald face lie.

I would like to ask the SPLC why it insists on making so many false allegations about white people and distorting the fact that black and Hispanic crime is out of control.

Isn&#039;t the best way to solve a problem to recognize the basic facts, then try to comne up with solutions from that?  How can we bring black crime under control if we allege it doesn&#039;t exist?

To do so will make the situation worse, and a worsening situation in this country is one that is close to erupting into civil conflict.

That&#039;s what is coming if the liars don&#039;t face reality and help us find a solution.  Denying a problem makes it worse, just as ignoring an open cancer would.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Smith, you have a very naive way of thinking here.
Race doesn&#039;t matter when it comes to crime as the most people have said here. The only reason why they have not recorded white crime is because of the feeling of superiority they have since it is their &quot;country&quot; and therefore stick up for another. This is actually natural. Races stick up to one another because of the same color.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am appalled at some of the statements posted on this site, chief among them, the statement about low IQ&#039;s among them, -&quot;Exact racial equality may have contributed to more deaths during Katrina (?).&quot; Where do you get this? Next, someone will be blaming 9/11 victims for not figuring out the geometric angles necessary for escaping falling debris from a collapsing tower. I know, some may say the two are not comparable. You are wrong. Both were man-made disaster. Hurricane Katrina did not cause the massive flooding. Criminally negligent levees designed to protect a population of about 500,000 are to blame. If San Francisco, Seattle, New York, or other city relying heavily on public transportation were to suffer large-scale flooding, causalities would occur and civilians would be stranded.  These cities have a lower black profile and plenty of whites. I would dare any of you Franz Boaz, Herrnstein and Murray theorists to assign race-based IQ theories as to why those fair-skinned urban people were unable to evacuate.

By the way, IQ tests primarily measure educational attainment, reserving only 10-33 percent of the materials for raw cognitive ability. Clearly there exists a gap difference between white/black levels of educational attainment in the US. While personal responsibility should not be glossed over, institutions have the responsibility to educate its citizens, proving adequate resources and information to all American citizens. 

Prior to the 1940&#039;s most people, white, black or otherwise, were unable to access higher education. Government policies created 2 million new seats in colleges and Universities nationally and thus a middle class. Prior to that, institutions now considered elite, were simply par for the course. This is so the elite can continue to distinguish themselves from the commoners (yes whites too). My point being that where IQ and education are concerned, old money families possess a great deal more knowledge that does most Americans.  &quot;Knowledge&quot; is transmitted between generations as much as information is given in the classroom. Most American&#039;s find they testing well enough to get into some colleges but not Yale or Berkeley. Students at those institutions have an inherent stock of knowledge presented to them, in part, by legacy. So, while tier-system colleges are in place to make a lot of people feel like somebody, to feel intelligent, and I&#039;m sure you all are, legacy separates the choice few. Similarly, legacy and favorable policies allowed for whites to access universities before other ethnic groups who have long-standing roots in the US (Blacks, Indigenous Nations). And so, there exists a matured stock of knowledge and an inherent entitlement created by policy that facilitates the ongoing disparity among racial groups in America. 

Many of us (whites) look down on others to prevent us from looking up at the multi-generational, policy making, old money ruling class who keep us all in our place, black or white. 

Finally, thank everyone who has spoken their minds on this site, even the bigots masquerading as truth tellers. Thank god for the secrecy that online bogging affords...at least until white hoods and sheets become fashionable once again (lol).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The simple fact is that blacks are far more racist than whites are, at this point in American history.

So much effort has been put into training whites to be fair, including shaming them but also education... yet...

NO EQUIVALENT EFFORT has been made to train and shame blacks into being fair.

One has to ask why. What are the elites up to, by effectively encouraging black racism?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trying to shame out of existence any open, honest discussion of race/crime by calling those you oppose like Pat Buchannan racists doesn&#039;t work and makes the SLPC look childish. You call his source racist, yet Buchannan&#039;s source &quot;The Color of Crime&quot; supports all their findings with data from the U.S. Government so you are also calling the Department of Justice and the FBI racists when you call his source racist. Why doesn&#039;t the SLPC  bring legal action against the Department of Justice or the FBI then and prove your position with facts?
There is a huge gulf in the overall moral sense between the black and white community as a whole, the crime statistics prove it, black pop culture proves it, the no snitchin attitude in the black community proves it and poverty has nothing to do with it for as I am sure the SLPC knows there are actually more whites at or below the poverty level in America than blacks so how can you rectify that blacks being 12 or 13 percent of the population are responsible for half of the murders in America and are overrepresented in virtually every crime category especially predatory crime?
In my book a racist is one who promotes falsehoods about race and if the SLPC is claiming blacks are not more criminal than whites or that blacks don&#039;t have lower IQ on average than whites then it is in fact the SLPC who are the racists. It is only fair that the egalitarians at some point should have to be held to task and prove their position, right? This is especially true when the SLPC is making unsupported accusations of racism against those it disagrees with. It seems the SLPC would support their argument with intelligent commentary supported by evidence (if they had any) but instead they resort to name calling and no evidence. Name calling makes for a very poor argument and those at the Law Center should have learned that in law school a long time ago.

You call his source racist, yet Buchannan&#8217;s source &#8220;The Color of Crime&#8221; supports all their findings with data from the U.S. Government so you are also calling the Department of Justice and the FBI racists when you call his source racist. Why doesn&#8217;t the SLPC  bring legal action against the Department of Justice or the FBI then and prove your position with facts?<br />
There is a huge gulf in the overall moral sense between the black and white community as a whole, the crime statistics prove it, black pop culture proves it, the no snitchin attitude in the black community proves it and poverty has nothing to do with it for as I am sure the SLPC knows there are actually more whites at or below the poverty level in America than blacks so how can you rectify that blacks being 12 or 13 percent of the population are responsible for half of the murders in America and are overrepresented in virtually every crime category especially predatory crime?<br />
In my book a racist is one who promotes falsehoods about race and if the SLPC is claiming blacks are not more criminal than whites or that blacks don&#8217;t have lower IQ on average than whites then it is in fact the SLPC who are the racists. It is only fair that the egalitarians at some point should have to be held to task and prove their position, right? This is especially true when the SLPC is making unsupported accusations of racism against those it disagrees with. It seems the SLPC would support their argument with intelligent commentary supported by evidence (if they had any) but instead they resort to name calling and no evidence. Name calling makes for a very poor argument and those at the Law Center should have learned that in law school a long time ago. The evidence for racial equality simply does not exist and the SLPC knows it and wants to do anything and everything it can to hide the truth. Shame on you!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The SPLC condems Buchannan for quoting Steve Sailor of VDARE. They go on to say about Sailor&#039;s work:

&quot;It is typified by an article on Hurricane Katrina, where he blames the disaster and deaths on African Americans with low IQs who were ”too shortsighted to worry.”

This is a false statement. Steven Sailor did NOT blame &quot;disaster and deaths&quot; on African Americans. Rather, he blamed city officials for not taking into account the IQ and culture of the New Orleans population. 

Question for the SPLC:  If African Americans REALLY DO have a lower IQ - as some  research suggests - then wouldn&#039;t it be immoral to NOT consider this factor in times of emergency? 

For example, if a group of 14 year olds were in the path of a Hurricane, we would simply remove them, no questions asked. 

Of course, Blacks are adults, not 14 year olds. But by assuming that Blacks have the exact same reasoning capacity as Whites, we may actually ENDANGER them by assuming they will act exactly as Whites during emergency situations. 

Thus, in my opinion, the myth of &quot;exact racial equality&quot; actually may have contributed to the deaths of Blacks during Katrina.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know I&#039;ve seen these statistics posted in a variety of places - often with the author&#039;s intent being what faults the message.  Hate is a terrible pulpit to stand on if you&#039;re going to try to fix a problem as far-reaching as cultural decline within a specific racial or even economic area.  Buchanan&#039;s statistics  are representing an author without credibility, but the source is inviolate.  So what is the problem?  Are blacks more violent than whites?  Are blacks more violent in general?  Is this all the result of something created by &quot;zionists&quot;?  These questions are unimportant if we can&#039;t get out of the cycle of condemning every racially heated topic as soon as it springs up.  I don&#039;t pretend to have the answers on this one, but a society that embraces political correctness so much that someone as admired as Bill Cosby would disappear from the public for daring to say that maybe *gasp* blacks were responsible for their own lot in life is headed down a bad road.  So we&#039;re victim to our own ideologies on this one it seems.  I know someone is going to jump out and yell &quot;Cultural Marxism!&quot; or &quot;Right Wing-Wakko!&quot; or something like that...maybe that&#039;s true.  Maybe some jewish scholars did form a school and bring it to America with the intellectual purpose of destroying our societal constructs by implementing Marxist ideals on culture rather than the working class...but in this case their intent hardly matters.  The average person is terrified that if they speak up and question the idealogical &quot;reality&quot; of anti-hate groups they&#039;ll be branded the worst sort of human and cast into a state of permanent apology for being so debase as to suggest that maybe the races are different.  Maybe people are different...maybe genders are differnent too...all of it.  We should all be afforded the same opportunities to pursue liberty and happiness, but that hardly argues that we are the same.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope that someday Ms. Beirich can leave the prison of white self-loathing that she has been placed in, and partake in the full membership of our civilization that is her birthright.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;This isn’t the first time that Buchanan, a long-time television commentator and sometime candidate for the White House, has gone to the racist well for his “facts.” In the footnotes to his 2002 book The Death of the West, the former Nixon speechwriter cited approvingly the late William Pierce, author of the race-war novel The Turner Diaries (the blueprint for the Oklahoma City bombing) and the founder of America’s then-leading neo-Nazi group. In his 2006 book State of Emergency, Buchanan cited a host of haters including white supremacist James Lubinskas; Edward Rubinstein of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute; Clyde Wilson, a board member of the racist and secessionist League of the South; and Wayne Lutton, a veteran immigrant- and gay-hater.&quot;

If the SPLC had the facts on its side it wouldn&#039;t need to engage in the kind of name-calling and neo-McCarthyite guilt-by-association tactics it habitually uses. Look at the  passage quoted above  and you will see a textbook example of the kind of tactics for which the late Sen, McCarthy was reviled.]]></description>
