Poll: Do black babies commit too much crime in America?

[skooooo]

[sniffa]

1. tough question

[mattclearing]

2. Classic poll.

:D

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. Is the last option supposed to be ironic?

Enforcing the stereotype that the area heavily populated by african americans will resort to physical violence?

[skooooo]

8. who said anything about violence?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. Oh right, you mean drop Bill Bennet off for tea and cakes then...

at...night...

Or perhaps a friendly chat?

at...night...

Even if physical violence is not what you meant, I guarantee that many of the people choosing that option are thinking that.

On Edit: If this were a comment against white people, you wouldn't say

"Drop him off at the hamptons...at night"

[skooooo]

16. whatever...

I don't try to read people's minds, and don't expect them to read mine.

If this offends you, I'm sorry. I'm pissed off, and this is an emotional issue.

28. More "it's PC" from those who want to make stereotypical jokes without

feeling guilty.

On Edit: There are plenty of things in this world to find humorous, without resorting to old stereotypes.

[IkeWarnedUs]

49. ok, if you prefer

Drop him in the Hamptons - from a low flying plane with no parachute.

[DS1]

18. nice fucking try

:eyes:

[southlandshari]

15. Good point, SCQ.

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

20. No, for a friendly game of poker, that's all. nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

24. No violence necessary.

Just being in what he would see as a 'situation' would give him a heart attack.

[LostinVA]

4. Where's the "Yes, they do" choice?

Come on, y'all had to have seen that FOX footage from NOLA right after Katrina... no? What,m for REAL? You didn't see those little black babies looting Pampers and beer from the grocery store? man, I did... Fox also had some footage of some little white babies getting supplies from the same store... SEE?

[ret5hd]

9. not to speak of the baby-on-baby crime problem sweeping the country!

[skooooo]

14. lol...baby on baby crime...

Yep

[ret5hd]

29. oh, you laugh now...

wait till your innocent childs sucker/pacifyer has been ripped from his soft lips by a thuggish black baby!

[skooooo]

30. LMAO these babies are OUT OF CONTROL

And something must be done. How about a 3-strikes your out -- TIME OUT in the playpen!!!

[ret5hd]

34. Exactly!!! Mandatory sentencing rules need to be enacted! (nt)

[skids]

31. Hey, it happens...

"A one-year-old boy has been bitten 30 times by a group of more than a dozen other babies at a nursery in Croatia."

17. God bless Bill Bennett; he's doing something to stop that hideous

baby-on-baby crime wave.

[UncleSepp]

48. ROFL! Coffee out the nose!

[ComerPerro]

32. I saw this one baby, probably 3 months old, with

a carton of cigarettes, a Plasma TV, and a case of beer.

He looked like hell, probably hadn't shaved in a week

My first thought?

I wanna party with that guy!

[seemslikeadream]

5. This is the first poll I reeeeeeeeeealy took pleasure

in casting my vote

[southlandshari]

6. In case anyone missed it...

Before alerts start coming in on this thread, thought I'd make sure folks know what you are talking about!

7. Sean Hannity said that black babies rioted and looted in NO

Then they blamed it on federal officials....

[Darth Lib]

11. The last option is kinda funny

Considering the complaint

[AllyCat]

19. I'll agree with you on that one Darth

For anyone concerned about the issue with Bill Bennett's comments, I would think the last choice about Harlem would be the pot calling the kettle black.

Basically in the same vein of what Bennett said.

[skooooo]

25. Do you think Bennett would be around minorities by choice?

I see your point, however.

[AllyCat]

35. Probably not. But a better choice here would have been to put him

at an NAACP meeting or something. The equating of Harlem with a "punishment" as this choice suggests seems not quite right given the topic.

[skooooo]

36. Ok, let's see an NAACP meeting..

Because you think he would be educated there?

I really think there are a lot of white supremacists in our government now.



Thinking about when the Allies reached the death camps in German, Poland, etc. There are stories about them letting the prisoners have at it with some of the guards, and yes there was violence. When people are beat down and abused it's natural to want "revenge," or justice. I don't think it has anything to do with the color of anyone's skin. AND I think we are all quite suseptible to making assumptions when the discussion of race comes up.

[AllyCat]

38. No. I think they would let him have it...non-violently, of course

Sorry. The Harlem image just seems to perpetuate the "black crime" myth that we are already so upset about with Bennett's comments.

[skooooo]

40. I see your point exactly...

Did you see "Mississippi Burning?" WHen Gene Hackman dropped off one of those racist lawmen in the middle of the poor black community? He was scared and had to face the very people he'd offended.

[AllyCat]

42. I've never been able to sit through that whole movie.

I got so mad I had to turn it off. Guess I need to try again.

[skooooo]

43. You gotta see the scene with Hackman...

....in the barbershop, shaving the "deputy!" Omg, it's one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen Hackman do. Well, gotto get ready for work. Nice chatting with you. Thanks for making me think.

[AllyCat]

44. Have a productive day and enjoy your weekend.

I'll try to get up the guts to watch that movie. I've heard it's great. The little I saw made me too angry.

[Torgo Johnson]

12. Well,actually.

I do remember seeing a eleven-month old black infant rob a 7-11 one time. After that, I swore never to drop acid again.

[Montauk6]

13. You forgot "...and the horse he rode in on!"

[unrepuke]

21. Well, apparently it's all those little B Babies stripping the

lead based paint off the walls in old buildings and eating it. Prolly been the same ones chowing down asbestos, making trouble for Johns-Manville and Dow Chem. See -- they just can't wait to get big enough to star on a 'Cops' episode.

[Ian David]

22. My wife was once mugged at rattle-point for her breast milk

She never got a good look at the baby.

He was wearing a Teletubies mask.

[Alamom]

26. They commit just as much crime as white, hispanic, native

american, etc.....babies do. :silly:

They all poop and cry when they're hungry.


:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:




edit to add major crimes of babies.

[skooooo]

27. lol

[genieroze]

33. Drop Bennett in Harlem at night and make him wear a white sheet.

[RethugAssKicker]

37. Lots of white people walk around Harlem at night

Would have been a good poll except for the last option!

[skooooo]

41. Does Bennett?

[Jamastiene]

39. I voted drop Bennet in Harlem at night, but I say cuss him out first. n/t

[derby378]

45. Strike Two for KSKY 660AM in Dallas...

They carry Bill Bennett's radio program.

Back in the early to mid 90's, however, they also carried the National Alliance program American Dissident Voices. These guys are white supremacists based in West Virginia, and some of their members got involved in a terrorist network that robbed armored cars, assassinated talk radio host Alan Berg, and were setting up a guerilla training center for some future race war.

[skooooo]

46. Oh geeze...this reminds me of..

...a book I read about the Radical Right wing. It documented the metamorphasis of all these groups. I should dig it out and see if there's anything interesting in there.

[derby378]

50. Fortunately, "The Order" is now history

But it's still got plenty of sympathizers out there, and a few copycats.

Robert Mathews, the guy who founded The Order, is revered as a folk hero by white supremacists. A completely objective look at this guy reveals an earnest if somewhat naive man who selflessly gave his time and money to those who needed a leg up. His favorite meal was apple pie washed down with milk. He drove a Chevrolet. He loved Scottish folk music. His dream was to settle his family on his own farm in rural Washington. On the outside, Mathews looked like an all-American boy.

But Mathews also wanted to rid America of Jews and non-white ethnicities. His followers included Klansmen, neo-Nazis, counterfeiters, survivalists, military veterans, and ex-cons. His favorite books were Which Way Western Man?, written by a disillusioned integrationist and labor activist who embraced the white supremacist message, and The Turner Diaries, a novel of a fictional race war that some considered to be a secret blueprint for assassination and bomb-making. His dreamworld was held together with a network of fragile truces, collective paranoia, and outright lies.

I recommend reading The Silent Brotherhood if you can find it at your local bookstore; it's a great synopsis of the history of The Order and a look at white racialists in America during the 80's. Disturbing at times, but well worth the read.

47. Oh! And they're such barbarians
