According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white
victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder
blacks.
These breathtaking disparities began to emerge in the mid-1960's, when there
was a sharp increase in black crime against whites, an upsurge which, not
coincidentally, corresponds exactly with the beginning of the modern civil
rights movement.
Over time, the cumulative effect has been staggering.
Justice Department and FBI statistics indicate that between 1964 and 1994 more
than 25 million violent inter-racial crimes were committed, overwhelmingly
involving black offenders and white victims, and more than 45,000 people were
killed in inter-racial murders. By comparisons 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam,
and 34,000 were killed in the Korean war.
When non-violent crimes (burglary,
larceny, car theft and personal theft) are included, the cumulative totals
become prodigious. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says 27 million non-violent
crimes were committed in the US in 1992, and the survey found that 31 per cent
of the robberies involved black offenders and white victims (while only 2 per
cent in the reverse).
When all the crime figures are calculated, it appears
that black Americans have committed at least 170 million crimes against white
Americans in the past 30 years. It is the great defining disaster of American
life and American ideals since World War II.
All these are facts, yet by
simply writing this story, by assembling the facts in this way, I would be
deemed a racist by the American news media. It prefers to maintain a
paternalistic double-standard in its coverage of black America, a lower
standard.
