Jean, you ought to get some real doozies given the comments in this section the last few weeks….

You know what I would like to know? (This is way off topic from race btw, but what the hell.) Why don’t we have truth in sentencing laws for speeding tickets? If you get a moving violation why can’t it be a rule that you have to get the points put on your license. I think that would go a long way towards slowing people down (assuming of course that such a law could be passed…I don’t know that it is Constitutional as I am not a lawyer).

Crime is crime and has no direct relationship to race except that of the racial make up of the community where the crime happens. The relationship you should be looking at is, drugs to crime or poor to crime not race.

I decided to not let the previous poster down.
My question is this, If Black people commit 50+ of the felonies in our country and somewhat higher here locally. Why can’t we as a society do a study on the correlation of criminal behavior when it’s related to the group called African Americans? It’s not politically correct, but I believe they tend to have abnormal behavior more than any other group. Also I would like to see a study of Black on white crimes; they seem according to the justice dept to be increasing. Are they crimes because of white’s makeup 75+ of the population?

ok, what is your opinion on the stance taken by the author’s of the book “Feakanomics”? The stance is this, The nationwide crime decline seen in the USA in the early 1990’s was due to the legalization of abortion in the 70’s. Their stance further: Less “unwanted” children leads to less crime (not accounting for race).
