It appears that William Bennett is in hot water again. His comments to the effect that "if you wanted to reduce crime, you could...abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down," have caused quite a stir

So William Bennett hates niggers. Ooh, whatever will we do.

I don't get all the hubbub honestly. White folks getting their panties all up in knots about it. "Oh, he shouldn't be allowed to say that!" The hell he shouldn't! This is America. Willaim Bennett ain't fucking or feeding me. Besides, he's just saying what most folks are thinking, deep in the back of their minds, afraid to get called on the carpet for their fucked up views.

Well, ya know what? Get over it, I got over it. Life's too short, and I'd rather deal with the devil I know than the devil I don't. At least I know where William Bennett stands. If I'm stuck on the side of a road and he drives by, I know he won't stop and help because I'm a nigger and I should've been aborted cause one less darkie means a few points off on the crime statistics.

It's cold, but that's how it is. And as this country gets poorer and poorer, you're going to see people like him get braver and braver.

I wasn't surprised to find out who he hates. And, yeah, I'm one of them white folks. I do get upset. And he ain't fucking, feeding or anything else to me, but people in power are supposed to represent more than just the largest percentage, but the aspirations and goodwill of all people.

Yeah...I'm a sappy type. But cold hard reality needs to be shelved here and there so we can come together and recreate the contract we *once* agreed to uphold. That whole social contract thing. Sorry, anything else is just hegemony and oligarchy. And it's wrong to me, plain and simple. And it needs to stop. So, yeah, his ass does need to be called on the carpet.

So there. (sorry, fresh out of snappy retorts. :)

I do see your point, but I can't let myself get resigned. There's too much love in the world to let assholes like him get away with it. And that, as they say, is that.

People in power are just people who had the money, connections and luck to get there. At their core, they're still people, and whatever fucked-up views or beliefs they have don't change just because they stumbled upon some extra responsibility.

I'm all for upholding people to standards, as you know, but I'm also for choosing my battles. Who in the fuck is William Bennett, but a washed up, out-to-pasture good ol' boy who's already done his part to ensure the destruction of America, and is likely simply looking for any chance of getting his face in the news?

People like Bennett aren't the problem - he's just saying what everybody who looks like him is thinking or has thought on some level. See, it's that overriding belief that a more than insignificant number of white people have that they're inherently better than anyone else because they're white that is the real issue here. I don't hate on Bennett at all, I commend him, for having the balls to speak his mind. He's better off than many of these sorry ass, milquetoast

I absolutely find no fault or flaw in your logic nor in what you're saying. Perhaps I'm terrified that there are so many people out there who are more cowardly, so craven that the William Bennetts in the world only stand out to my narrow, Bay Area based views
