Bennett Fires Back Against Racism Charges

Mrs. FilmProducer, it is evidently an old saying that a text out of context is a pretext. If the masses misunderstand, it is because they are unwilling to get a dictionary and see what was said before they go off on a tangent and make false accusations.

I think that it is genocide that best explains abortion statistics.

If you honestly believe this, then you'd best NEVER open your mouth on ANY subject.

To pull a qoute out of context like this was, and like was done to Trent Lott, is pure and simple evil and SHOULD be covered by slander /libel laws.

But of course there's that pesky "freedom of the press" concept which in reality allows the press to print virtually anything and be protected from the responsibility of the truth.

But as to your ideas as quoted above, well, if this were true, then no one could ever say anything without fear of somebody trying to ruin their reputation; just like the MSM does today!

 

Bennett took a gamble with his comments and choose his words extremely unwisely...he said it! he knew
the risks! and he lost! big time. The guy can get
out of control as most gamblers are prone to do.

You obviously do not know of the bias in the media that has tarnished African Americans and perpetuated years of stereotypes. Point blank the man made an offensive statement that he no business making. Defend him all you want. Personally I believe he, and others, in the media, should be held to a higher standard.

If the masses misunderstand, it is because they are unwilling to get a dictionary and see what was said before they go off on a tangent and make false accusations.

Precisely the reason why the media should be held to higher standards. He should have found another way to prove his point.

Not sure what you are trying to say?

I think that it is genocide that best explains abortion statistics.

Well, that is your opinion and I respect that, but I disagree, and when I have a chance I will post my findings.

The mere mention of race need not be taken as a offense to persons.

It was not the mere mention of race, it was the perpetuation of a STEREOTYPE. Black men are not all criminals, nor are they the only criminals, as HIS statement IMPLIED, (within context or not).

Based on data from the CDC you are right that black women are three times as likely to have an abortion. I stand corrected.

 

Thanks, Mrs. The situation is appalling. Abortion has only brought death to minorities, which is exactly what it was designed to do.

 

Bennett's exact words:

Yesterday on his radio show, Mr. Bennett -- Dr. Bennett was quoted as saying. I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you cold abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down...that would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

The comments have drawn criticism today from Senate minority leader Harry Reid who said he was appalled. Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy who called them racist and from House minority leader Nancy Pelosi who said they were shameful.

Ted Kennedy is very learned. He reads The New York Times everyday--errrr, he has one of his servants read it to him everyday, anyway. Teddy doesn't look anyone in the eye anymore. The only thing he looks in the eye is the ice cube in his glasses of whiskey.

 

I concede to the numbers, but not necessarily this statement. Abortion is wrong. (I want to get that out of the way.) In 2000 there were less than one million abortions. Actually the number was a little over 800,000. While African Americans may be three times as likely to have an abortion in porportion to their population size, the reality is that more white babies are aborted. Approximately 57% of abortions were by white woman.

As far as I am concened, abortion is a problem everywhere and by all races, not just African Americans. As is pre-marital sex. We have talked a lot about context. These abortiion numbers must be looked at in context, also. Besides abortion stats there are pregnancy and birth stats, teen pregnancy stats, contraceptive use stats, method of contraceptive stats, etc. All of these aspects need to be examined to obtain an accurate picture of the situation.

 

The reason that the first half of his statement is receiving so much attention is because he ASSERTED THAT IT WAS TRUE. He then went on to say that it would be a ridiculous, morally reprehensible thing to do. Herein lies the whole problem. It is a racist ASSUMPTION, therefore the outcry and the problems. His ASSUMPTIONS are the reason stereotypes are perpetuated. At some point we need to hold the media accountable for what they say.

Bennett was wrong in what he said that the crime rate would go down -- that was based on an assumption that more blacks commit crimes but statistics do not back it up. There may be more blacks in prisons but

I heard on TV that 70% of crimes in the US are committed by white people. But more blacks end up in prison.

I tried to do searches but either the stats were for those imprisoned (not for those convicted) or so many disgusting white supremacist sites came up that I quit. I don't want to throw up my dinner.

Bennett, the "Book of Virutes" man turned out to be a gambler. No matter how you look at his statement, it has a racist tinge to it.

 

It was taken out of context, he was goaded into saying it.

Was I the only one listening to Rush yesterday ? Did anyone but me hear the black man call in ? You know, the one that impressed Limbaugh so much he gave him his honorary membership ?

People are pretty quick to jump on any racist "tinge", whether is justified or not. Meanwhile, Robert "sheets" Byrd gets a free pass.

Does anybody care that Bennet ended this statement with...and I quote...

"That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do...... "

 

No, I don't care that Bennett ended his statement like that. I think that it doesn't undo his earlier statement, which I do not think was taken out of context. He was saying more crimes are committed by blacks, which is not true.
