The Big "Hate Crimes" Lie

Another day, Another Campus Hate Hoax.

This one all got started when a certain African-American...ummm...entertainer who goes by the name "Jiggaboo Jones" held a "Compton Cookout" in San Diego to celebrate the release of his latest DVD. A "Compton Cookout," one gathers, is a theme party where participants are encouraged to dress up as stereotypical characters from the wonderful world of black popular culture. Among the invitees were some white frat-dudes, fans of Mr. Jones, from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

According to Mr. Jones, everything went swimmingly and a good time was had by all. But then, as he tells the story:

"Over the next few days some hate mongering black people had told a pack of lies about our event stating that a White Fraternity and several members of the KKK threw a Racist party that made fun of black people. This lie was quickly soaked up by people with some kind of political agenda to spread hate and discontent among people who attend UCSD.

"The divisive few told a 'Woa is me' tale of how all blacks at UCSD are almost lynched in trees seemingly everyday. Members of the media ate this up...Blog sites went crazy and facebook fascists took their laptops and started the witch hunt that would ruin the reputations of several good hearted people and their families with their inaccurate statements...

"As I jumped in and pulled the curtain back exposing the fact that it was never a racist event and explained the whole mix-up, I was hung up on, called an uncle tom and was accused of getting paid off to 'Cover for the Racists'...

"To my fans at UCSD I am sorry this came out like this - I never wanted anyone to be branded as a KLAN member for simply drinking a few beers and having a few laughs with a mixed crowd of people and laughing about the stupidity of racial tensions in 2010."

Behold "Jiggaboo Jones," if you dare:

Alas, despite Mr. Jones' best efforts, once the Racial Grievance Industrial Complex had transformed the truth into an urban legend of white male malfeasance, all p.c. broke loose: anti-racist teach-ins, campus marches, sit-ins, demands, "cave-ins" by the administration, a fake "noose" incident, a pillow-case placed over a bust of Dr. Seuss (believe it or not, I'm not making this up).

Can a candle-light vigil be far behind?

* * * * *

Compare and contrast:

Recently, the increasingly frequent outbreaks of mayhem by groups of blacks targeting whites that have lately afflicted Minneapolis and Denver, among other cities, have spread to Philadelphia in a particularly terrifying form - the violent "flash mob":

In this latest case, an estimated 3,000 "youths" appeared, as if from nowhere, to attack businesses and their customers and passers-by in Philadelphia's South Street area. This is the fifth such incident since last May.

Simply substitute white for black perpetrators and black for white victims here, and there would be hell to pay. There would be congressional investigations. There would be ten-part front-page investigative reports in the New York Times. Every institution of "higher learning" in America would give over the rest of the year to...anti-racist teach-ins, campus marches, sit-ins, demands, "cave-ins" by the administration, candle-light vigils - you name it.

But the perpetrators here were clever enough to be born black, and the victims foolish enough to be born white.

So - nothing.

Why the double-standard? Because academia and the msm and the left in general have convinced themselves that, give or take the odd exception, "hate crimes" are mostly something that whites do to blacks. So white-on-black "hate-crimes," however trivial or fraudulent, are big news, while black-on-white hate crimes, however real and serious, are no news at all.

But this is false.

Richard Spencer's new web-magazine, Alternative Right, has just published a short article of mine in which I demonstrate, using the best available data, that:

(1) Any given encounter between whites and blacks is at least six times more likely to lead to an anti-white hate crime than an anti-black one - and at least eight times more likely to lead to a violent anti-white hate crime.

(2) American law-enforcement is systematically, institutionally racist - against whites. They are about thirty times more likely to accept reports of white-on-black than of black-on-white hate crimes.

I hope that some of you will read the whole thing, over there, and let me know what you think.

I applaud without a single demurral your crimethinking. I fear, though, that we've lost this one, beyond any prospect of recovery.

Heh, Maximos - maybe you & me & John Derbyshire could form some sort of *axis of despair.*

According to this Link at National Review its different, at the bottom of the page it says:

http://agenda.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MjE0ZGQ3ZDVmMGM2OGZmMDA2N2RkMWQ4OWYxYWU1Mjc=


"actual racism is the following, from a 2000 paper by Edward Glaeser and Bruce Sacerdote.

Does the economic model of optimal punishment explain the variation in the sentencing of murderers? As the model predicts, we find that murderers with a high expected probability of recidivism receive longer sentences. Sentences are longest in murder types where apprehension rates are low, and where deterrence elasticities appear to be high. However, sentences respond to victim characteristics in a way that is hard to reconcile with optimal punishment. In particular, victim characteristics are important determinants of sentencing among vehicular homicides, where victims are basically random and where the optimal punishment model predicts that victim characteristics should be ignored. Among vehicular homicides, drivers who kill women get 56 percent longer sentences. Drivers who kill blacks get 53 percent shorter sentences.

More broadly, criminals who murder African Americans receive shorter sentences than those who murder non-blacks, after correcting for other victim characteristics."


I'am not sure if this is correct or what but that's what it says.

(The Paper may also be Outdated).

(1) Any given encounter between whites and blacks is at least six times more likely to lead to an anti-white hate crime than an anti-black one - and at least eight times more likely to lead to a violent anti-white hate crime.
I like the way you preempted spurious objections in the article, Steve:
Defenders of the conventional wisdom may object that the above result is simply a product of the fact that American whites out-number American blacks by a factor of six to one - so of course white victims of anything can be expected to outnumber black victims by some such factor. But potential white aggressors outnumber potential black aggressors by exactly the same factor - which would lead one to expect fewer white and more black victims. I think that the key point is that the number of white encounters with blacks is, necessarily, identical to the number of black encounters with whites. So if each group were equally aggressive and equally disposed to hate the other, then one would expect such encounters to be equally likely to lead to white-on-black as to black-on-white hate crimes.

Zippy - my training in philosophy didn't go for much, but it didn't go for nothing.

;^)

In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.

If this doesn't chill your blood (if you're white with a wife and daughters), what would?

Hear much about this in the media? Heard about the Duke rape case that wasn't because the Duke boys were only doing what comes natural to white males?

I won't cite the facts about how often white men are raped in prison by black and hispanic males. That's just as chilling.

Mark Butterworth - I followed your link, but cannot find, there, the numbers that you're citing.

This is a very sensitive issue, so we really need to dot our i's & cross our t's, here, so to speak.

This is a better place to start on the source at Frontpage:
http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=26368

"To see the real truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice document Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005. (Go to the linked document, and under "Victims and Offenders" download the pdf file for 2005.)"

American law-enforcement is systematically, institutionally racist - against whites. They are about thirty times more likely to accept reports of white-on-black than of black-on-white hate crimes.

Steve, if you have any faith in our legal system, I have a blog suggestion for you, The Agitator. Radley Balko has done yeoman's work on researching police corruption, the abuse of SWAT units and other things which should make a conservative's skin crawl. The most depressing thing is that consistently, police who abuse the public's trust or deny justice by refusing to arrest certain types of people are simply never punished with any regularity that might prompt them to even flinch.

"American law-enforcement is systematically, institutionally racist - against whites. They are about thirty times more likely to accept reports of white-on-black than of black-on-white hate crimes."

If you look at what I posted from National Review it seems to suggest commiting crimes against Black's get you less time in jail. Which would imply that there is Racism in the Legal System (if Correct).

Phantom Blogger: do *whites* who commit crimes against *blacks* get "less time in jail" than *blacks* who commit crimes against *whites?*

"More broadly, criminals who murder African Americans receive shorter sentences than those who murder non-blacks, after correcting for other victim characteristics"

According to this at least with murder, blacks on average would get longer sentences for killing white people than a white (or any other racial group)person would for killing black people.

Phantom Blogger: thanks for the link, but I don't find anything particularly interesting there. The paper to which Mr. Salam refers is concerned with vehicular homicide. The big questions there would be: (1) do whites who commit vehicular homicide against blacks get less time in jail than blacks who commit vehicular homicide against blacks? & (2) do whites who commit vehicular homicide against whites get less time in jail than blacks who commit vehicular homicide against whites?

In any case, none of this has anything to do with my claim that American *law-enforcement* (by which I mean, basically, the police, and not judges & juries) is systematically, institutionally racist - against whites.

I realised after I posted it that there was a difference between this article on Law-enforcement and that one on the Legal system. As well as that it seems that Salam only mentioned it to divert away from the claims that a Republician add was racist.

guilty until proven innocent,remember the duke lacross rape case? whats so differant?whitey is guilty and thats minority justice in this farce of a third world nation!want strife,blame a white dude.want to riot,blame a white dude,want to rape and get media suckeling,yes,blame all white people!the mass media has been minority boot licking since 1965 to presant day!it's truely amazing they can talk news when there mouths are full.eric holder wasnt to far off when he said were a nation of cowards when it comes to race,if only he meant the entire news industry as a whole.no justice no peace,kill a white man for free press release.
