Crime is the new black entitlement.
As
long as black people are permanent victims of relentless white racism, cops
should not chase them, juries should not convict them, judges should not
sentence them, schools should not punish them, and white victims should not
complain about the black crime and violence so wildly out of proportion.
This
is what a growing number of lawmakers, professors and, of course, reporters are
prescribing as a way to “improve the way our system serves justice.”
The
latest came on NPR a few days ago when Georgetown Law professor and former
federal prosecutor Paul Butler broke it down for the racially unenlightened:
“If
you go to criminal court in D.C., you would think that white people don’t
commit crimes,” Butler said. “White people don’t use drugs, they don’t get into
fights, they don’t steal, because all you see are African American people.”
Before
you pack your child off to Georgetown Law school -- or if you usually do not
believe something too ridiculous to be true -- you might want to hear the
distinguished professor wax at length on this video: Racial Jury Nullification at Georgetown Law.
One
group of “African American people” Butler will never see in a D.C. court are
the black people who beat the white husband of an NPR executive into a bloody,
broken mess on the D.C. Metro line. You can find the details here from my
account at the American Thinker, but not from NPR, which never covered it. NPR
Another Victim of Black Violence and Denial.
Neither
will Butler find the black people who attacked the NPR producer from Kentucky,
in D.C. on company business. You can find the details of that in the
scintillating best seller Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry. But not
on NPR.
And
yes, professor, black criminality is just as wildly out of proportion in
Washington as it is in the rest of country. Even more so.
Butler
says there are two justice systems in America, one for white people and one for
black. He proposes to correct this inequity with a system of racial jury
nullification to promote the new entitlement of black criminality: “I encourage
any juror who thinks the police or prosecutors have crossed the line in a
particular case to refuse to convict.”
To
make his case, Butler trotted out some information from the National Institute
of Health which he says proves that black people and white people use drugs in
the same amount, but black people are arrested and convicted many times more
than their drug-using white counterparts.
QED:
Courtroom racism is rampant and if you do not see that, well, you know what
that makes you.
That
is part of the greatest lie of our generation and here is why.
The
National Institute of Health -- and everyone else who repeats that bogus claim
-- are using info gathered from the Census Bureau: Instead of filling out a
questionnaire, sometimes the Census Bureau will go into a home and ask the
occupants a series of other questions, including if they use illegal drugs.
When
they do, black and white people basically give the same answers in the same
amounts.
That
is called self-reporting and it boils down to this: can we depend on drug users
to tell the truth about their drug use? Short answer: No. Long answer,
when you actually test people, doctors find there are two determinants of
whether the person was actually telling the truth about their drug use: One,
were they recently released from prison?
Two,
are they black?
Yes,
they actually say that.
Here’s
a summary of a few of the peer-reviewed studies from the scintillating best
seller Don’t Make the Black
Kids Angry:
Some
doctors down at Johns Hopkins University actually found out what happens when
you test the reliability of self-reporting of marijuana and other drug use
among black people. A study of 290 African American men in Baltimore, Maryland
undergoing treatment for hypertension showed that self-reporting of illicit
drug use is unreliable.
Only
48 of the participants reported drug use but urine drug tests revealed that 131
had used drugs. With self-reporting, drug use among black people was 16
percent. With testing, 45 percent. Ooops. There’s more. Different study.
Different journal.
According
to the medical journal Addictive
Behaviors, “underreporting of cocaine was documented with urine testing
validation as well where African Americans in comparison to Caucasians who were
urine positive were about 6 times less likely to report cocaine use when other
factors are controlled for.”
Translation:
When you ask, white people and black people report using cocaine in about the
same amount. But when you test, black people are six times more likely to use
cocaine. And lie about it.
More
from the same journal for you science junkies: “The present study also
identified predictors of discrepancies between self-report and hair testing.
Race was the most salient predictor of cocaine disagreement.”
“Even
when other factors were controlled for, the self-report and hair test results
for African Americans were more discrepant than for non-African Americans, a
finding consistent with past studies (Fendrich, et al., 1999; Feucht, Stephens,
& Walker, 1994).”
“In
a large study of youth (9 − 20), underreporting of cocaine was documented with
urine testing validation as well (Fendrich & Yanchun, 1994) where African
Americans in comparison to Caucasians who were urine positive were about 6
times less likely to report cocaine use when other factors are controlled for.”
This
is hardly new: ask a cop what happens when they pull over a black person for
anything from a routine traffic stop to investigating a murder. ’99 percent
tell us we are only doing that because they are black,’ said dozens and dozens
of active and retired cops to me over the last five years.
What
Butler wants, many cities already have: they are called Bronx juries -- where
black people tend not to convict black defendants. Even Hollywood uber-liberal
David Simon had to acknowledge that in his 2013 book:
The
effect of race on the judicial system is freely acknowledged by prosecutors and
defense attorneys-black and white alike -- although the issue is rarely raised
directly in court. Race is instead a tacit presence that accompanies almost
every panel of twelve into a Baltimore jury room.
Once,
in a rare display, a black defense attorney actually pointed to her own forearm
while giving closing arguments to an all-black panel: “Brothers and sisters,”
she said, as two white detectives went out of their minds in the back row of
the gallery,“ I think we all know what this case is about.”
In a
Cleveland nail salon, a black customer was raging in and out of the store when
confronted with the manager who restrained her, then fought with her until the
police arrived.
“You can’t do this
to me,” she said in a viral video. “I’m black… And besides, you are white
and you don’t know shit.” A few days later a few dozen protestors gathered
to remind reporters that putting your hands on a black woman for any reason is
illegal. Even if she is trying to steal from you.
in
Philadelphia, the NAACP is demanding the district attorney prosecute an Asian
business owner after chasing and shooting a black robber with a knife -- and
the businessman’s money.
The
NAACP joined hundreds of parents and groups around the country who wonder why
people with guns have to defend themselves against black people with bad
intentions? Like the sister who said her brother should not have been shot
during a home invasion robbery because “where else is he going to get his
money?”
Or the parents who criticized the Pizza Hut employee for shooting
their son while he was trying to rob them. After all, it wasn't their money and
didn’t insurance cover it? So why did their son have to die just for committing
an armed robbery?
Crime
is the new black entitlement.
Down
in Jackson, Mississippi, a black city councilman said the black leaders of that
city should encourage black people to “throw rocks and bricks and bottles” at
police if they chase black criminals into their town. “That will send a message
we don’t want you in here.”
The
councilman would also like the taxpayers of Jackson to pay for any loot that a
black citizen may have stolen. Thus removing any other need for police to chase
the “babies” in that city after they commit a crime.
And
no: I would not expect you to believe it without seeing him say it here: Video: Crime
Is The New Black Entitlement.
Next
stop, Madison, Wisconsin: a black pastor who was a top official at the
University of Wisconsin and who now sits on the bench as a judge, echoed the
councilman about arresting black criminals: “I just dont think they should be
prosecuting cases of people who steal from Wal-Mart,” said Dane County Judge
Everett Mitchell. “I dont think Target -- or all those other big box places
that have insurance -- should be using that as justification to use aggressive
police practices.”
“They
do that all the time to justify why they are going to over police our
children,” said the judge.
The
over-policing thing was a hot topic on the Democrat presidential campaign trail
last year. Berry and Hillary each tried to outdo the other with the sympathy
for the plight of the black criminal: Hillary talked about why more black
people are in prison than white people “for no good reason.” And Bernie loved
talking about the racist over-policing of black people as well.
“What
we have to do is end over-policing in African-American neighborhoods,” Bernie
said during the Democrat debate in Milwaukee. “The reality is that both the
African American community and the white community do marijuana at about equal
rates. Reality is four time as many blacks get arrested for marijuana.”
There’s
that big lie again. And there are the thousands of reporters and public
officials eager to repeat it with enthusiasm, without a trace of truth.
Let’s
head over to Philadelphia to hear from Judge Wayne Bennett, who writes a blog
called the "Field Negro." Bennett had just read one of the columns
from the Great Thomas Sowell where he talked about the modest contributions of
your humble correspondent to the field of black criminality and journalistic
denial.
Sowell
wanted to know how crime as the new black entitlement could happen. Bennett supplied a popular rationale:
White people deserve it.
“No
matter how violent young black punks are towards white people, it will never
make up for all the violence against people of color throughout this nation’s
history.”
This
judge could have been channeling the former President of the United States and
thousands of those who worked for him and made black on white racial hostility
mainstream.
One
of the most active fronts in this fight for crime as the new black entitlement
are the schools. For eight years, the Obama administration warned school
officials throughout the country that there is no reason to believe there is
any difference between white and black children when it comes to behavior and
grades.
So
any difference in discipline and academic performance can be the result of one
cause only: White racism.
That
caused schools around the country to stop calling police for criminal offenses
such as drug use and assault. And replace it with “restorative justice,”
which involves lots of talking and lots of promises to never do it again.
In
New York City, the mayor last week ordered city schools to “stop documenting”
what school officials calls minor crimes such as drugs and other misconduct.
The
reason is known to every teacher and administrator in America: Black students
are victims of white racism in the classroom that causes teachers to pick on
them for no reason whatsoever. Thus resulting in lower grades and more
suspensions.
No
more.
The
list of public officials calling to make crime the new black entitlement is
long and growing. Out in Kansas City, they liked their mayor Emmanual Cleaver
so much they named a freeway after him.
Now
he’s a congressman where he serves as an enthusiastic member of the Black
Caucus: every member of that caucus at one time or another has agreed: Black
people and white people commit the same amount of crime, but the only reason
black people are arrested more often is because of too many police in black
neighborhoods.
‘Take
the police out of black neighborhoods and put them in white neighborhoods and
you would have the same amount of crime,’ they say, over and over and
over.
In
Kansas City, large groups of black people descend dozens of times a year on
that town’s entertainment district called the Country Club Plaza. There they
cause violence and mayhem and property destruction with predictable regularity.
On
one of Cleaver’s visits to his hometown, Cleaver told a local reporter he did
not support curfews to outlaw the large scale black mob violence at the Plaza,
because “all that would do is make a lot of black kids angry.”
