Quite possibly the most racist article you will ever read

[Big_McLargehuge]

Very racist? I don't see anywhere in the article that says any race is inherently inferior just because of their race.

What SMS said. And the term racism covers more than just "supremacy" tendencies.

I don't see that as a Racist Article. He spoke of truths he has seen. As above, truth hurts and then it easy to start hollering Racist.

I agree but the Media will not portray it that way. They will make him sound like a member of the Klan.

Guess you didn't read the whole thing? *snip*

I did read the whole thing. From the article:

I have no explanation for why this is, but crime has racial patterns.

To start the second paragraph he says race isn't a reason for crimes, just that they are correlated.

Underlined is basically the premise of the linked article. Boldened is a qualifier, but does not indicate the definition is limited to such.

Let's be real here: if you hold a negative view of a race, then you're a racist and no amount of wordplay changes that.

Once again, the author doesn't say that all blacks are criminal/inferior, etc. Just that there are racial correlations to crime. Nowhere does the article say that race is the cause of any crime.

It seems to me that you're reading too much of what you want to see into this article.

Right, because the opening paragraphs aren't straight-up racist?

Lines like:

"As a young lawyer, I believed the official story that blacks are law abiding, intelligent, family-oriented people, but are so poor they must turn to crime to survive. Actual black behavior was a shock to me."

Nothing wrong with that, right? I must be reading too much what I want to see.

Hmmm. Interesting that an article as this inspires so much anger. Was he calling for some kind of violent action against a group?
