Bill Bennett's final solution: aborting all black babies could reduce crime

how precise is the subset you're talking about? will 100% of black babies commit crime?

 

Of course not. But to get rid of <b>all future</b> black/brown/white/left-handed criminals for certain you have to get rid oll black/brown/white/left-handed babies <B>in advance</b>.

 

Then for the 4th time, what do you call the systematic termination of all black babies? You keep saying no no no, but you don't offer anything else. So I'll just accept your refusal to answer my question as the only way you are capable of accepting defeat.

Thanks for playing.

I presume you just spouted off something without thinking because your comment is just plain stupid.

What "right" are you referring to? The right for another person to tell you how you feel? If I punch you in the face, you are saying I have a right to tell you it doens't hurt?

As a white person, you are in no position to tell black people they shouldn't be offended by Bennett's comments. Don't be a pompass a$$!

 

Prove what? Prove that he said what he said? What a dumb thing to say. I'm through with you.

 

To prove that it was a ridiculous solution. Thank God you're through with me! You have zero imagination.

 

It was a joke, hence the smiley (which you failed to include in your quoting of me, changing the meaning of my message, please try to avoid that while editing). Lighten up Francis.

With that I am done with this rediculous thread. One side is arguing from a position of logic and the other is simply making an emotional response. At this point I don't think other side is shifting or presenting new information. It was fun while it lasted. Peace.

 

If you're using cold logic...To sterilize an ethnicity based on majority percentages on certain crime convictions implies that their detrimental value is higher than the social benefits that ethnicity brings.

It's just as offensive as suggesting we sterilize Muslims so that .001% of their population won't become future terrorists.

 

You know what else would reduce crime, more social welfare.

 

It was an illustration not an agenda.

 

As the WP article points out. There wasn't any reason for him to illustrate that point. It came from left field.

If you and I were talking about what we did over the weekend, and I said that I played in a softball game, and you said that your house was broken into, and then I gave a truthful statement about what percentage of the prison population blacks comrpise, I just said something true. It was out of the blue but 100% true.

I didn't need to bring up that statistic. Yes it had to do in some way with crime, and yes the statistic was true. But the fact that you were talking about crime, which we don't know to have been committed by a minority or not, and I start talking about blacks and crime, it says something about my thinking. It shows where my mind goes as soon as crime comes into the conversation.

Bennet did the same thing.

 

This was a call-in radio show where people discuss ideas not re-hash their weekend... it's a different animal.

 

I understand, but it was still out of the blue that Bennet brought race into a discussion on crime.

 

so why are y'all singling out blacks?

 

Is the crime rate not more of a problem for the black community more than the White or the Hispanic or the Asian? Which sub-population has been in the headlines for two or more decades revealing problems with crime? Hint: look at almost any prison movie; is that a racist portrayal too?

Who is y'all? It was only Benneft who said it.

 

If a black person brings race into a discussion all you conservatives will have your panties in wad talking about "why we gotta talk about race, its 2005"

Conservative Bill Bennett brings it into the discussion, "well look at the statistics"


You guys are funny.

Let's talk about affirmative action and watch how many of you guys say race shouldn't matter.

 

but y'all are defending him or making a case for him right?

when you say crime what specifc type of crime? do you have seprate statistics for these categories? white-collar crime, tax-evasion, child sex offenders, serial killers, random shooters, bombers? would you say blacks are involved in these crime significantly more than whites or other races?

hint: in movies, who are usually involved in white-collar crime, tax-evasion, child sex offenders, serial killers, random shooters, bombers?

 

In a prison movie that is part of the environment. Bennet brought it up out of the blue. Whether or not it is accurate according to statistics doesn't matter. It doesn't affect whether it is racist or not.

 

That's why some of the more compassionate members of the right have suggested sterilization.

 

I guess (duh) we'll have to agree to disagree. You keep saying that Bennett brought this up "out of the blue" while I see a very logical construct which leads to the radical statement and an immediate recognition of the sensitivity of his point-- which a racist would not offer, would he?

 

LIke Margaret Sanger? Isn't Planned Parenthood related to her somehow?
