14. It doesn't help to distort what he said
Edited on Fri Sep-30-05 04:50 PM by sandnsea
That actually makes it worse. The wrong in what he said was the assumption that blacks are all criminals and that no blacks would mean no crime, the same thing that caused the rape & murder rumor mongering in New Orleans and the same thing that's causing the NO race cleansing. Dumping that attitude on African Americans is part of the racism that makes it harder for African Americans to get a job, get into school, etc.

He didn't say we should abort black babies to reduce crime and if we try to make the statement something that it obviously wasn't, we'll lose again.
