William Bennett - killing unborn black babies will reduce crime!
(01.10.2005)

Former Republican Education Secretary William Bennett has caused a storm over his remark that aborting every black baby in the United States would reduce the crime rate.

As usual, when these people with extreme thinking have their words published, they always claim that their words were taken out of context.

William Bennett said on his "Morning in America" show "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". He added that this would be "an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down"

How on earth can this be taken out of context? The man is clearly a racist and confirms that the Ku Klux Klan mentality is still alive and well in America.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said "The president believes the comments were not appropriate". Not appropriate? Doesn't that have just a hint of approval in it? Surely, a better response would be "I am outraged at Mr. Bennett's remarks and hope that he will make a public apology immediately"

But perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised at the Presidents remarks, his mother, Barbara Bush, was on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston when she said "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (chuckles) is working very well for them". As many of "them" (the victims) were black, we can easily guess who she considers to be underprivileged.

Perhaps William Bennett should also consider that if it wasn't for white people using blacks as slaves in America (which officially ended in 1865) and restricting their "growth" for many years afterwards, there wouldn't be any division between blacks and whites. People with his kind of "superior" thinking have done more harm to race relations that anything else.

We feel sure that many people probably think that if certain figures in our history had been "aborted", the world might be a better place. Thankfully, such people live in the real world and hope that such extreme methods will never be needed. William Bennett has placed fuel on the racialist fire and should pay some penalty for his remark.

We have heard much about the new laws for "hate crimes", does this not fall into that category? So far, we have only seen this used against people who show "hatred" to jews. We feel sure that this was not introduced solely for that purpose and this would be a good time to show the public that it is there to protect everyone.
