An article appeared on July 8th by Jesse Byrnes entitled, "Gingrich: White Americans ‘Don’t Understand Being Black in America’" quoted Newt as saying:
"white Americans “don’t understand being black in America”Okay - I agree - let's see the things white Americans doesn't understand about black America.
- We don't understand why billions of taxpayer's dollars have gone into the black community and they still claim they have nothing. We don't understand how so-called poor Americans (all races) on public dole can afford:
- Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, at the beginning of the War on Poverty, only about 12 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
- Nearly three-quarters have a car or truck; 31 percent have two or more cars or trucks.
- Nearly two-thirds have cable or satellite television.
- Two-thirds have at least one DVD player, and a quarter have two or more.
- Half have a personal computer; one in seven has two or more computers.
- More than half of poor families with children have a video game system such as an Xbox or PlayStation.
- Forty-three percent have Internet access.
- Forty percent have a wide-screen plasma or LCD TV.
- A quarter have a digital video recorder system such as a TIVO.
- Ninety-two percent of poor households have a microwave.
- We don't understand how blacks can still be on the public dole at a higher rate per ratio than anyone else.
- We don't understand how multiple generations of a black family could have never had a job.
- We don't understand a society that 68 percent of black households are headed by mothers with children from multiple fathers. Absentee fathers!
- We don't understand how a community can have a 70% illigitimacy rate and claim another race is keeping them down. Kudos to Charles Barkley!
- We don't understand why blacks kill so many other blacks.
- We don't understand how so many black kids cannot go to school everyday, and when they do they don't/won't learn - they cause trouble.
- We don't understand why a black kid who takes schooling seriously, works hard and gets good grades is abused because he's "acting white".
- We don't understand why black parents allow so many black kids to not finish school.
- We don't understand how going around punching old people, women or helpless people in order to knock them out with one punch or setting them on fire is a "game".
- We can't understand why these aren't hate crimes - if they were white on black crimes that's the way they would be classified
“It took me a long time and a number of people talking to me over the years to begin to get a sense of this: If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively underestimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.”What nonsense! What exactly does any of that mean? That statement is one great big logical fallacy, and Gengrich is completely aware that's exactly what his statement is. First of all - the word discrimination is misued just as much as racism. To be a racist is to hate someone of another race simply because they belong to that race. To discriminate is the make a judgment regarding something, anything or everything for that matter. Someone is lauded for having discriminating taste, but is attacked for not liking someone of another race....particularly blacks. So tell me - why do we have to like anyone or any group if we choose not to? Is it possible whites aren't racists or discriminatory in a negative way - but have merely evaluated black society and found it wanting?
Statistics and reality show why whites "discriminate" against blacks. They're afraid and have legitimate reason to be.
He continues saying:
“We’ve got to rethink what it means to be American and how we function together as an extended family.”We don't need to do any such thing. We know what it means to be a real American. It means we get a job, go to work everyday, do the job we're hired to do, don't steal from the employer, don't give the employer fifty tons of attitude everyday, don't commit crimes, pay your bills and marry the women with whom we've chosen to have children with....see....simple!
And we are not an extended family. We are a nation of diverse people who need to do one thing and one thing only - get a job and take care of your own responsibilities - that's what made America great, not any of this kumbaya clabber from over educated, undersmart elitists who've been catered to for entirely too long.
But mostly we need to do is stop catering to every squeaking wheel and get everyone off the federal dole. Eliminate national federal welfare - it's destroyed black society and lays foundation for all the claptrap we see going on now by these black race baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Farakahn and Marxist rabble rousers such as Black Lives Matter. All of whom should be prosecuted for extortion.
But if we really want racial harmony we had just better stick to the statistics and stop this pandering, and here are the crime figures based on race from 1972 and 1997.
U.S. Department of Justice has conducted a National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to determine the frequency of certain crimes. One category is interracial crimes. Its most recent publication (1997), "Criminal Victimization in the U.S.," reports on data collected in 1994. In that year, there were about 1,700,000 interracial crimes, of which 1,276,030 involved whites and blacks. In 90 percent of the cases, a white was the victim and a black was the perpetrator, while in 10 percent of the cases it was the reverse.
Another finding of the NCVS report is that of the 2,025,464 violent crimes committed by blacks in 1994, 1,140,670 were against whites - that's slightly over 56 percent. Whites committed 5,114,692 violent crimes; 135,360, or 2.6 percent were against blacks.
In 1997, there were 2,336 whites charged with anti-black crimes and 718 blacks charged with anti-white crimes, so-called hate crimes. Although the absolute number of white offenders was larger, the black rate per 100,000 of the population was greater, making blacks twice as likely to commit hate crimes.So Newtie - it would appear we really do understand what it means to be black in America -and we don't "instinctively underestimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk". We recognize it and don't like it! And if the economy tanks by 2020, which I think it will - we will have a massive civil war on our hands and no amount of elitist horsepucky is going to fix it.
I do so wish you and George Will, John Kasich, Karl Rove, Jeb Bush, Charles Krauthammer and all the other neocons would stop claiming to be conservatives. None of you would have even been good "classical liberals".
Oh, one more thing. Tell me again why you and Nancy Pelosi think we should support Global Warming and alernative energy initiatives, especially since someone like you is at the center of the information world - so you had to know it was all horsepucky. I gotta tell you Newtie - I don't find your views trustworthy, and you haven't said anything to change that.
