Perhaps it’s time for conservatives to finally concede the undeniable t***h: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and their fellow civil-rights crusaders have apparently been correct all along: There is indeed a whole lot of r****m in America that just won’t go away. Thus it’s wholly understandable that Sharpton—emphasizing that “We have had enough!”—has so passionately condemned the recent police “execution” of Michael Brown in Missouri. It’s likewise understandable that he calls this a “defining moment” for our country, a moment where the nation itself—with all its weighty, r****t baggage—“is on trial.”

The numbers, after all, don’t lie. During the most recent five-year period for which single-offender, interracial crime statistics are available, w****s committed, on average, 65,923 assaults annually against black victims.(1) To frame it another way, 33.5 of every 100,000 w****s in the U.S. assaulted a black victim at some point during each of those five years.

Oh, sure, the nitpickers will point out that during the same five-year period, b****s in the U.S. committed, on average, some 327,900 assaults annually against w****s—meaning that about 898 of every 100,000 b****s nationwide assaulted a white victim at some point each year. In other words, statistically the average black was nearly 27 times more likely to assault a white, than vice versa—898 versus 33.5 (out of every 100,000).

But therein is heart of the problem, though you may have missed it. The white-on-black assault rate may be low, but it isn’t zero. And in the calculus of modern-day civil rights crusaders, anything more than zero means, ultimately, that “we still have a long way to go” before we can finally get past our country’s “troubled racial past.” Any incident—however rare it may be—becomes the exception that proves the rule.

We find similar evidence of white r****m in other statistics as well. During the same five-year period, w****s committed, on average, 2,738 robberies annually against black victims. In other words, about 1.4 out of every 100,000 w****s in the U.S. robbed a black victim each year.

Meanwhile, 70,302 b****s annually robbed white victims—a rate of 192.4 per 100,000. Statistically the average black was 137 times more likely to rob inter-racially than the average white—192.4 versus 1.4 (out of every 100,000).(2)

Once again, any white-on-black crime total above zero means that the hearts of too many w****s still percolate secretly with r****t longings to return to “the good-ol’ days” of lynchings and Jim Crow.

But if you really want your blood to boil, consider the stats on interracial sex crimes. During the same five-year period, black offenders were responsible for about 22,980 actual and threatened sexual assaults annually against white victims. By contrast, the number of white-on-black incidents of the same description were so infinitesimal that, in each of those five years, w****s were estimated to have accounted for 0.0% of all sexual assaults—actual or threatened—against black victims in the United States.

Such a statistic, of course, runs the dangerous risk of persuading shallow thinkers to wrongly conclude that maybe America’s streets and alleyways aren’t filled with hordes of white r****ts poised to abuse black women whenever they get an opportunity. But thankfully, we have deep thinkers and keen-eyed social critics like Al Sharpton to shine the light of t***h on white sex offenders, even where a white-dominated criminal-justice apparatus turns a blind eye.

Remember, for instance, how Sharpton helped us all become aware of Tawana Brawley’s brutal gang-rape at the hands of w***e s*********ts in 1987? Oh sure, the nitpickers again will moan that the whole thing was one big lie. But don’t ever forget: The only thing that prevented young Tawana from actually being raped by a pack of Klansmen was the fact that … well, no one raped her or even attempted to. But apart from that, everything Sharpton said about the case was true.

We must also thank Mr. Sharpton for having alerted us all to the horrors of the “rich white boys” on the Duke University lacrosse team who gang-raped a black stripper in 2006. Sure, it turned out to be another h**x that d**gged several innocent young men through a cesspool of pain and public humiliation—but hey, the noble quest for racial justice is bound to spit out a few collateral victims. No omelet can be made without breaking an egg or two.

Murder stats likewise bring into stark relief the white r****m that continues to infest our nation. In 2012, for example, 6,454 b****s in the U.S. were victims of homicide. Some 91% of those were k**led by other b****s, and 9% were k**led by everybody else, including w****s. It’s unlikely that w****s were responsible for any more than about 3% of all black deaths by homicide. But those were the most significant and troubling 3%, don’t ya know? The other 97% of victims can all rot in their graves, but these—ah, these—were the cream of the crop, just like Michael Brown.

In light of the various figures cited above, perhaps you’ll find it in your heart to be more sympathetic to Al, Jesse, and similar proverbial skunks who are forever seeking out the next picnic where they can show up and spray the potato salad. They have to make the most of Ferguson, you see, because opportunities like that just don’t come around very often.

FOOTNOTES:

(1) All statistics are from Criminal Victimization in the United States, published annually by the Department of Justice Statistics.

(2) These assault and robbery statistics do not necessarily prove that black offenders are specifically targeting white victims. One reason why the multiples are so high (27:1 and 137:1) is because there are 5.4 times as many w****s as b****s in the U.S. In other words, b****s, in course of their daily travels, are 5.4 times more likely to encounter w****s—and thus, potential white victims—than to encounter other b****s (and potential black victims). To correct for this difference in the respective sizes of America’s white and black populations, we must divide each of the multiples by 5.4. In the case of assaults, the 27:1 ratio becomes 5:1, meaning that the average black offender is 5 times more likely to choose a white victim, than a white offender is likely to choose a black victim. And in the case of robbery, the 137:1 ratio becomes 25.4:1, meaning that the average black offender is 25.4 times more likely to choose a white victim, than a white offender is likely to choose a black victim.

John Perazzo

I John 1:9 comes immediately to mind. It says that if we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In God's eyes all means all--no exceptions. Also read Psalm 51 that David wrote after he committed adultery with Bathseba and had her husband set up to die in battle God forgave him. Ephesians 2:8-9 says that we are saved by our faith and God's grace not by our works. No one is worthy of salvation but can have it through Jesus and what he did. The Bible also teaches that when God forgives that he no longer remembers our sins. Try to help this young man see that forgiveness and restoration do not come by who we are or what we have done but by who God is and what he has done. Even the Apostle Paul consented and participated in the k*****g of Christians before he was saved and he was forgiven and used greatly by God. If God can do it for him then this young man needs to know God can do it for him. He should not keep punishing himself for what God has forgiven. I became a Christian not because I was good but because I knew I was not good. I hope this helps a little.

You bet it is, everyone should watch it, you would cry.

I've said I have a picture of Jesus, sitting here in front of me, the the young girl with visions of heaven painted. There's a short video following, you'll love her portrait of Jesus.
