The Truth About Crime in America

@ 10:28 PM (35 months, 5 days ago)

It's time to educate the former Education Secretary of the United States.  (And thereby, time to educate all of his supporters).

Bill Bennett wants us to believe that if we aborted every Black baby in the United States, the crime rate would go down.  So obviously, Black Americans are the only ones breaking the law.

Well, The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) tells us otherwise. According to the FBI, in the year 2002, "70.7 percent of all arrestees in 2002 were white."  (http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel03/ucr2002.htm)

Hmmm..In 2002, 70.7 percent of all arrestees were White Americans.  Is Bill Bennett now going to call for aborting all White babies to help reduce the crime rate?
