Ann Coulter: "If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium"
http://www.theroot.com ^ | January 15, 2013 | Elon White

Posted on 06/25/2013 8:22:15 PM PDT by B4Ranch

To say I'm shocked at Coulter's assertion would just be a lie. This is Ann Coulter. She says ridiculous nonsense on a regular basis. But on top of her magically ridiculous statements, the oh-so-reasonable Sean Hannity -- the host who should rein in commentary on his show that has gone completely off the rails -- simply let her statement stand. Sure, she just said that gun violence is an issue only with communities of color, but whatever.

Since when are people of color Americans? If gun violence affects only them (which it doesn't), then we don't really need to address it!

So, quick question: With these shining staples of the right wing, why should nonwhites feel comfortable with the Republican Party again?

Kinda slow on the black violence apologia tonight my main man

Are u tired?

Hugs

....I think its disgusting how Deen begs for forgiveness

For BS UTTERANCE...no one is likely guiltless of anywhere

Yet Mike Tyson on ESPN radio opines that he would like for Sarah Palin’s vagina to be “ripped apart” by some hung black stud and he alluded to pansexual Dennis Rodman

And convicted rapist Tyson received no recriminations from the media or public

Jamie Foxx jokes about what fun to be paid to kill white folks in that Weinstein abomination Django

JayZ says vile crap about whites non stop even though his Wifey and POTUS bro are both as white as they are negroid

Zero push back

But pathetic Paula Dean is a threat to the black sensitivity unicorn

Well...this worm needs to turn now and when whites wake up...it will

I was soft once....felt sorry for them

For good reason..... 40 years ago

They have replaced Jim crow with a minorities in general version directed at whites

Push back is coming

FYI, Connecticut had 2 coal-fired generating stations in 2005, with 614 MW of capacity, representing only 7.0% of the state’s total electric generating capacity; Connecticut ranks 40th out of the 50 states in terms of coal-fired electric generating capacity.

How many Trayvons have been murdered by black killers since Zimmerman pulled the trigger? If this were truly a racist country most black murder victims would be killed by white people. Most black murder victims are killed by black killers.

Please notice he doesn’t dispute the veracity of her statement.

New Hampshire has one of the whitest populations of any state, and just about the least gun restrictions of any state in the Northeast. It’s homicide rate is lower than just about any European country or Canada’s. Japan and Singapore, I believe, have lower homicide rates.

As a member of the white community I applaud Ann’s statements.

Actually, I read a fairly definitive study that said just that. Gun violence is a demographic issue. This is fact that can be easily demonstrated. It’s not racism. The numbers are there.

So true, and it is also a fact that blacks, as a group, produce more great basketball players, than whites and that is not racist, just plain facts.

No one on the left, or right, disputes those facts, why does the left refuse to accept the other facts that are so prevalent in the black community? {rhetorical question}

During the 1960s, one neighborhood in San Francisco had the lowest income, the highest unemployment rate, the highest proportion of families with incomes under $4,000 per year, the least educational attainment, the highest tuberculosis rate, the highest proportion of substandard housing of any area of the city. That neighborhood was called Chinatown. Yet in 1965, there were only five persons of Chinese ancestry committed to prison in the entire state of California.

The Chinese were for many years denied access to public schools of California, not allowed to testify against whites in trials, and made the object of discriminatory taxation. (p. 473)

The experience of the Chinese and Japanese suggests that social isolation, substandard living conditions, and general poverty are not invariably associated with high crime rates among racially distinct groups. (p. 474)

I've looked up the data and statistics a number of times over the years.

The murder rate for non-Hispanic whites is about the same as for the European murder rate. The murder rate for Hispanics is higher, and the rate for blacks is highest. If you separate out the non-European-descent demographics, what you have is the European rate.

International Homicide rates

I ignore political correctness in my own life. But, as we see in cases such as Paula Deen, some powerful people take political correctness very seriously, and take it to extremes. So, we need to take notice of how and why liberals are so influenced by nonsense such as political correctness.

See #72. The NYTs has a very good interactive crime data map if you dig up that day’s paper. This is a screen cap of all murders by race. Reality is not very PC.

European Murder Rates Compared to the United States: Demographics vs Guns

Let me give you another set of facts.

My state has the highest per-capita gun ownership east of the Mississippi.

1 in 4 in my county drop out of high school. Only 1 in 10 are college educated.

A large number of people live at or below the official “poverty” level.

Drugs, especially methamphetamine, are common.

Yet, in my county in 2012, the total number of ALL murders was...0. Exactly what it is in most years.

Violent crime in total is very low.

If guns are the problem, then how is this so?

First, Paula Deen is a registered Democrat.

Secondly, 94% of all violent crimes committed against blacks are committed by Democrats.

That good enough for you, Elon?

Not what she said, or implied. Gun violence is a product of black CULTURE, something you can FIX. It's not a product of black SKIN, something you can't change.

Political Correctness, ie, Cultural Marxism as it was originally named,

is solely about suppressing the telling of truths that thwart the advance of Marxism.

In 2012 in NYC blacks and hispanics committed 98% of all shootings. Whites accounted for 1%.

Ann is dead on on this.
