Here is the scenario: Statistics
from the FBI and other sources state that blacks are more likely to commit a violent crime than whites. Those are facts. If you say something like that then people
will call you a bigot.
Here is the question: Since the definition of prejudice is “An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand
or without knowledge or examination of the facts”, can stating a fact be considered a prejudice remark?
If you believe that facts can be prejudicial, as one sad-excuse-for-a-man
once told me, then what role do we hereafter assign to the truth? What the hell
is it good for?
Many equate prejudice with anything that hurts someone else’s feelings.
If you insult a homosexual by telling him that he is a pervert, then many will cry prejudice from the highest mountain. The definition of perversion has several meanings one being: “one that has
been perverted; specifically : one given to some form of sexual perversion”.
Another definition of pervert is: “To put to a wrong or improper use; misuse.”
One man attempting to breed with another man certainly should qualify as
improper use of male organs. That is perversion no matter whether you like it
or not. That is a fact. So is it
also prejudice?

Truth: Solution to black America's moral poverty

Last week, I wrote in this space that it was the lack of moral character and dependence on government
that cost blacks when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, not President Bush or racism. Since then, I've been deluged by e-mails
– overwhelmingly positive – repeatedly making the same point: I said what white Americans know to be true, but
are afraid to say.
As it was put in one e-mail, "I thought along the same lines as your sentiments, but as a white
I would never voice such words for fear of being called a racist and worse." Another wrote: "Even as I sit here writing
to you I'm breaking out in a sweat for fear of being called a racist." Another said: "That was an excellent article, and unfortunately
it could only be said by another African-American."
This confirmed what I've known for a long time: Everyone knows most of black America
is screwed up – immoral, dependent, weak – but so few are able to say so. Unfortunate as that is, it is reassuring
that we all know the truth. With this in mind, I would like to make the case that all Americans – black and white –
should tell the truth when it comes to race and morality.
To do this, I'd like you to consider the recent controversy surrounding Bill Bennett. Last week,
a caller to his national radio talk show suggested that abortion could be opposed on the grounds that it has hurt the solvency
of Social Security (fewer taxpayers means less Gross National Product, he reasoned). Bennett took issue with this ends-justify-the-means
form of argumentation, and challenged it with a hypothetical: (referencing statistics in the book "Freakonomics"):
I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your
sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an
impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these
far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.
Bennett was immediately attacked by Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid,
the NAACP, the National Association of Black Journalists, and many others. His comments were labeled "racist."
Of course, no one on this list of elite whites and angry liberal blacks could possibly explain
how Bennett's comments were racist. Nor could anyone show that the comments were false. The reason is simple: They
weren't racist. They were true.
(Thank you very much Rev. old chap....My point exactly....truth
CANNOT be prejudice!)
That is just the point: The truth doesn't matter to these people. That is why all should tell
the truth to black America.
Bennett didn't say anything objectionable, yet he was attacked. He was attacked by people whose
only purpose is to destroy, by people who don't care who they destroy. Whether you tell the truth or stay silent, they will
go after you. They need no provocation.
Consider this analogy. There is a movie in theaters now called "Grizzly Man." It's about a man
who spent several summers "making friends" with Alaskan grizzly bears. He gave the grizzlies names, sang to them, told them
he loved them. Then the grizzlies ate him.
Not surprising, of course. Be as nice as you want; at the end of the day, grizzlies are grizzlies
– wild animals that will kill you when it suits them.
Evil is the same way. No one needs to provoke Kennedy, Dean, Reid, or the NAACP. They serve
the side of destruction. That's just what they do.
No matter what you do, no matter how nice you try to be, no matter how genuinely you try to
have a dialogue, no matter how much money you give, evil will never cease to be evil. Liberals, black and white, will attack
conservative white Republicans as racists regardless. Ask Bill Bennett.
Or ask President Bush. He's invested more government money in black America than Bill Clinton.
He's put more black Americans in prominent leadership positions than Bill Clinton. He's been a fine moral example, unlike
Bill Clinton. It doesn't matter. Evil people love Bill Clinton because he is one of them. Those who oppose President Bush
hate him because he's good. They will forever oppose him for this reason. Just recently, Congressman Charles Rangel called
President Bush the modern-day "Bull" Connor.
Do you think Charles Rangel and those like him will let you off the hook, whether you tell the
truth or not? Guess again.
When all is said and done, you're left with two options:
- Tell black America the truth. Accept that it won't always be met pleasantly, but that you're
standing for what's right, you are exposing lies, helping truth gain ground, and inspiring others to do the same. Or,
- Stay silent. Let evil do what it wants. It will strike, of course, despite your silence. Only
this way it goes unopposed, gains ground, and the good lose heart.
Is there really a choice?
