"ALL CAPS IN DEFENSE OF LIBERTY IS NO VICE."

The Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a Racist!

Or he would be if he were a conservative. Conservatives are not allowed to notice any differences between blacks and whites:
"Tony Blair yesterday claimed the spate of knife and gun murders in London was not being caused by poverty, but a distinctive black culture. His remarks angered community leaders, who accused him of ignorance and failing to provide support for black-led efforts to tackle the problem. One accused him of misunderstanding the advice he had been given on the issue at a Downing Street summit.

Black community leaders reacted after Mr Blair said the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave, but as specific to black youth. He said people had to drop their political correctness and recognise that the violence would not be stopped "by pretending it is not young black kids doing it". It needed to be addressed by a tailored counter-attack in the same way as football hooliganism was reined in by producing measures aimed at the specific problem, rather than general lawlessness.

Mr Blair's remarks are at odds with those of the Home Office minister Lady Scotland, who told the home affairs select committee last month that the disproportionate number of black youths in the criminal justice system was a function of their disproportionate poverty, and not to do with a distinctive black culture.....

PC on the subject is really much worse than the article indicates.

In my article on Inequality I note that blacks from certain areas in Africa have very high talents in sports. In addition East Africans excell in some sports and West Africans in others. Natural selection at work on isolated populations.

In addition we know that Africans in general have lower IQs than whites generally do (being a distributional effect there will be some blacks smarter than some whites - treat every one as an individual).

We also know that crime is IQ related. High IQ folks tend to commit fewer crimes (per capita) than low IQ folks.

What can be done about this? I have no idea. However, because of the taboos involved no one is even looking into the question.
