"Every assistant D.A. in the Bronx … shared Captain Ahab's mania
for the Great White Defendant. For a start, it was not pleasant to go
through life telling yourself, 'What I do for a living is, I pack blacks
and Latins off to jail.'"

Does

If you criticize this NYT op-ed by pointing out that the Hispanic imprisonment rate is 2.9 times the white rate,
well, then you are an evil racist and nobody should listen to you.

All September, ever since the New Orleans Nightmare became evident on
September 1st, the hysteria built among the political and media elite over
which of them would crack first and mention the elephant in the living
room: that blacks have higher average crime rates. Finally, it has burst
forth in a spasm of irrational and self-righteous denunciations of former
Education Secretary William J. Bennett.

|
The tragic conundrum is that the young men who could most benefit from serving a hitch in the Army, the decent but not too bright 18-year-olds who are on the knife-edge between getting their act together and falling into a lifetime of drugs and crime, are the ones least likely to
make Armed Forces' cognitive cutoff of having an IQ of 92 or above.

New Orleans should remind us that we still live in a harsh world. The make-believe that passes for public discourse, even at the elite level, simply isn't adequate for protecting American citizens.

That Thomas Sowell hasn't yet won the Nobel Prize for Economic Science
reflects more poorly upon the economics profession's infatuation with
mathematical formulas than upon Sowell's lifetime achievement. Personally,
I've learned more from Sowell than from any other living economist.

Pre-emptive
Executions?
|
American Conservative
|
5/9/05
|
Did legalizing abortion in the early ’70s reduce crime in the late ’90s by allowing “pre-emptive capital punishment” of potential
troublemakers, as Steven D. Levitt argues in Freakonomics? Or did the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, by outmoding shotgun weddings, adoption, and respect for life, instead make more murderous the early ’90s crack wars fought by the first generation of youths to survive legalized abortion?

The

|
Perhaps,
though, our soldiers should have shown their civilian overlords “The
Battle of Algiers” before the latter blithely decided to occupy an Arab
country. For extra verisimilitude, the special-ops boys could have
strapped Douglas Feith’s Office of Special Plans ideologue-warriors to
their armchairs, pinned their eyelids open, attached electrodes, and
applied little jolts of juice to help them remember the movie better. Even
without such stimulation, “The Battle of Algiers” is hard to forget
but also hard to enjoy.

Jonathan Tilove has created a small

America's Main Street. The two (white) men visited a sizable fraction
of the 650 streets named after Dr. King—and returned with a valuable
impressionistic portrait of the blackest streets in black America.

As a movie critic, I see lots of films
featuring one of the more common bits of Hollywood hokum: the
multicultural criminal gang. You know, there's a white guy, a black guy,
an Asian girl, a Sikh, a Lubavitcher, an Amish farmer, a whatever. Do you
remember "The Truth About Charlie", "Femme Fatale",
"Don't Say a Word", "Atlantis", and "What's the
Worst that Could Happen?" You don't? Well, neither did I until I
looked them up. And, heck, I reviewed all of them within the last two
years. When you see a multiracial gang, you can be pretty sure the overall
movie is forgettable.

|
Almost every author who writes about social issues
involving African-Americans appears to know nothing -- and doesn't seem to
want to learn anything -- about Africans. In contrast, a musicologist writing on the background
of American popular music who willfully ignored African influences would
be laughed at, and rightfully so.

Many
on the Naïve Right are exulting over the first paragraphs in President
Bush's remarks on Wednesday siding against the University of Michigan for
using a racial quota admissions system. But (ahem!) didn't the Supreme
Court already outlaw "quotas" 25 years ago in the Bakke
decision? Fat lot of good that did. And fat lot of good the
Administration's "very narrowly tailored" brief to the Supreme
Court will do either.

a recent graduate who took science from Phelps. Today,

We are
constantly told that there is no solution to the problem of illegal
immigrants crossing America's largely wide-open 1,800-mile border with
Mexico. But the $2 million/mile cost of the new Israeli fence suggests
that building a high-tech security barricade from the Pacific to the Gulf
of Mexico would be a bargain: only $3.6 billion.

Multiculturalism and Democracy don't mix (Balkans case study)

Democracy
is what caused the mess in the Balkans. Multiculturalism works fine ...
under a real dictator, like Tito. He had multiethnic Yugoslavia locked
down tight, nice and peaceful. But when the inhabitants got more say in
their lives, they started killing each other. They wanted democracy. But
they knew that to have it, they needed mono-ethnic states.

This
"debate" over racial profiling shows how utterly divorced
American political discourse has become from personal reality. Every
single person who lives in a diverse part of the country racially profiles
every other pedestrian as he walks down the street at night. Jesse Jackson
notoriously admitted that he does exactly that - and sighs with relief
when he finds that the footsteps following him don't belong to a young
black male.

| "By providing a safety valve
that drains off Mexico's most desperate young brown men, our lax borders
have allowed Mexico's most avaricious old white men to loot their nation with
impunity. In the U.S., this mestizo influx generates ever greater quotas
and set-asides designed to propel their climb in American society. In
contrast, in Mexico all the best jobs in government, industry, and
academia are becoming ever more segregated. |
