Complaint on William J. Bennett


You may make a complaint against William J. Bennett and his radio broadcasts by going to :



http://www.srnonline.com/index-contactus.shtml



I am sickened and disgusted by the remarks made by William J. Bennett on his radio show "Bill Bennett's Morning in America".



"But 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."



The remarks and his subsequent defence of them clearly come from a background in eugenics in which he has been educated and believed in or has stumbled into.



The connection between blacks and crime is reprehensible in itself. The subject of abortion spoken about so glibly is an insult to every American's humanity.



I think it is time for William J. Bennett to remove himself from the American airwaves and allow others to communicate through the media who are not so empty of mind and cold of heart.



While you are there take a look at his friends on the Salem Network :

Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Mike Gallagher, The Word in Praise and Today’s Christian Music.

Re: Complaint on William J. Bennett


I have to agree on this one. That was a very poor analogy that he used. Well, that is what he called it.

I call it pure racist remark. I would like to see the statistics that he claims supports his statements.

It is people with opinions like his that keep the road blocks up that prevent forward movement to accepting other humans based on what's inside and regardless of their race, creed, religion, etc.

Racism comes in all colors. Don't we have enough to worry about then promoting racism?

Granted he has a right to speak his mind but he needs to look inside himself as a human, father, uncle, son, grandfather, public official, etc. and then ask himself whether this analogy originated from fact or racsim.

Regardless, we cannot blame children; infants; fetus' for the crime in our world.

All races contribute to the crime and we being human we cluster with like kind... and I don't mean only in race but in beliefs, ethics, income levels, etc.

We have black gangs; white gangs; latino gangs; chinese gangs; etc. all committed same or very similar crimes... what is the common denominator?

Of course it would be income - money. Lower income areas see higher crime rates at least that's what media wants us to beleive.... what about all the murders; corporate thefts; that happen in afluent areas?

Enron; Loan Giant; Mortgage Corp of America, to name a few.... how many people of whatever race were convicted of crimes?

Of course what we see on tv is drive by shooting this; gas station robbed that...how much time is really devoted to the crime statistics?

Anyone know the crime statistics in our little Community? I know I don't.

Ok what's my point... my point is that crime isn't governed by color.....Economics play a VERY large role in crime....Economics is color blind.

Awhile back, i stumbled on some interesting statistics concerning white on black crime and vice versa. Needless to say it was interesting. The gist of it is statisitically speaking, that blacks commit crimes against white at a higer ratio than whites do blacks, while the black population is some-what small. You would figure it would be the other way around since there are more whites than blacks.
