Blacks Must Confront Reality

Though racial discrimination exists, it is nowhere near the barrier it once was. The relevant question is: How much of what we see today can be explained by racial discrimination? This is an important question because if we conclude that racial discrimination is the major cause of black problems when it isn't, then effective solutions will be elusive forever. To begin to get a handle on the answer, let's pull up a few historical facts about black Americans.


In 1950, female-headed households were 18 percent of the black population. Today it's close to 70 percent.

Coupled with the dramatic breakdown in the black family structure has been an astonishing growth in the rate of illegitimacy. The black illegitimacy rate in 1940 was about 14 percent; black illegitimacy today is over 70 percent, and in some cities, it is over 80 percent.

The Census Bureau pegs the poverty rate among blacks at 28.1 percent. A statistic that one never hears about is that the poverty rate among intact married black families has been in the single digits for more than two decades, currently at 8.4 percent. Weak family structures not only spell poverty and dependency but also contribute to the social pathology seen in many black communities -- for example, violence and predatory sex. Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Coupled with being most of the nation's homicide victims, blacks are also major victims of violent personal crimes, such as assault, rape and robbery.

OK, so why don't we hear about the disproportionate rate of forcible rapes amongst whites? About the disproportionate rate of arrests among whites for arson? For assault? Burglary? Sex offenses? DUI?

Because you have it wrong.

Blacks are about 13% of the U.S. population.

Crimes committed by blacks (according to your chart) exceed 13% in every category except DUI and liquor laws (under age drinking?).

Percentage of rapes by blacks is 32.9% - assault 33.6% - arson 25.7%

Since 63.9% of assaults are committed by whites; 65% of all rapes committed by whites, then the conclusion must be that whites are committing these crimes on blacks at a disproportionate rate.

[although the phrase "blacks are major victims" is hardly definitive.]

There's that blind spot of white privilege waving its banner again. Somebody has been listening to FOX News too much.

So when the black and brown folks become the new majority, suppose, just suppose they start targeting white folks for crimes at a much higher rate than they do the black and brown people? Suppose the white people are now put in jail for doing the same things that the black and brown people are doing but not getting arrested for?

Suppose a large chunk of the prison population suddenly becomes white males and the numbers increase over a generation because the black and brown folks are targeting them more?

Suppose that leads to more white families without fathers present.

In other words, save the foolishness. Prisons are an INDUSTRY in the United States. In fact , it is one of the fastest growing industries in the country and its investors are on Wall Street.

And last time I checked,Wall Street is being run by old white men.

SO contrary to your limited sight beliefs, white men have played a large role in the break down of the Black family structure TODAY just as they did during slavery when they broke up families by selling or killing the fathers and brothers, or the way they did during Jim Crow when they killed and lynched fathers and brothers.

SO yes Blacks should take responsibility. But it's time for Whites in America to admit that they and theirs helped Blacks to get to that point today just as they did during slavery and Jim Crow.

You left out one very significant factor!

Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.

This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."

A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions.

EUGENICISTS REJOICE: MORE BLACK BABIES ABORTED THAN BORN IN NYC

by BEN SHAPIRO 21 Feb 2014

On Friday, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Office of Vital Statistics released a report titled “Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes.” As expected, the report showed an exceedingly high number of abortions and an exceedingly low number of births.
But the report also showed something more disturbing: a vast majority of the abortions came from the black and Hispanic communities – and in the black community, births were outnumbered by abortion by 6,570. Overall, 42.4% of abortions in the city were of black children; another 31% came from the Hispanic community.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, some 30% of all abortions in the United States are performed on black women, and another 25% are performed on Hispanic women. Rev. John J. Raphael of Howard University has calculated that approximately 13 million black children have been killed before birth since Roe v. Wade, representing a population decrease in the black community of nearly one quarter. Almost 40% of all black pregnancies currently end in abortion.

This was the dream of the population control eugenicists’ whose heirs would eventually force abortion into the American mainstream. The early proponents of population control in the United States were eugenicists like Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, who stated, “[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”

You are a racist Zaac and that becomes more apparent with each post you make.

In the history of the world there has never been an occasion where people of one race have fought a war to free people of another race. The Civil War resulted in brother against brother, white against white, and cost as many lives as all other wars combined! Yet many race baiters like you and Al Sharpton blame "whitie"!

At one point there were just as many black slave owners as there were white ones. Some of those came out of slavery and were just as mean to their slaves. There were asian slave owners as well. Also it was the natives to Africa that caught and sold slaves to people all around the world. This was a result of tribal jealousy and conflicts. So the idea that the American white man is to blame for all the ills of the black community is just bunk.

That your logic skills can lead you to this conclusion says a lot.

Man at the rate that yall are calling me a racist, some are gonna start to think y'all must be Black since so many of you are always complaining about Blacks "whining" and crying race or racism. :laugh:

Umm, because old white men and their money were the reason it was being fought.

It's OK, Zach.

Nobody here expects you to confront reality.

We've observed your head in the sand racial attitudes for too long.

So the real question is...

When will black Americans stop blaming whites for all their problems?

When will they actually look in the mirror and see their worst enemy and do something about it...besides whine?

There is no doubt. The statistics come from too many sources, including enlightened black Americans. The root cause of their poverty and atrocious crime rates is the collapse of the nuclear family.

When will they address that and try to do something about it?

Listening to the apologists from the left here, the answer is ...never. Still in denial.
