Personal Choice To Beat 91 year-old Man

Here in Detroit the other day a young guy jacked the car of a 91 year-old man, a WWII veteran. Both the thug and the victim are black, and the victim in this video news report along with his wife both offer the same two solutions to the situation: lock up the guy for many years, and the other young men in Detroit behaving this way should alter their behavior.

The choices of these people in Detroit to harm other people and themselves, and to destroy and steal, and to refrain from improving themselves, is a major source of Detroit's troubles. Residents of Detroit live in a democracy, and they have choices to vote. But they also have other choices as well.

I like that this 91 year-old-man was at a liquor store. What was he buying? The interview of him and his wife show that decent, self-respecting, intelligent people can drink healthily well into old age!

Here he rails at the people who stood around watching and chatting while he got beaten.

And if the mugger and victim had been white, Paul Hue never would have printed this story.

You know it and I know it.

If the mugger had been white and the victim black, this would be a national story.

If both had been white I wouldn't have printed it, because nobody is claiming that anything other than personal choice explains crimes committed by white people.

Looks like the victim went to the liquor store only to check his lottery ticket, so he's not the hep cat I hoped he was!

Oh bull$hit.

I already proved to you that often white on black attacks go unnoticed by the media and unpunished by the justice system.

Did you ever hear about the Pasadena, MD murder before I posted the link?

Quick and don't google.

Who was Garnett Johnson Paul?

If white on black murder always becomes a national story?

You white righties don't have a clue.

White-on-black violence doesn't *always* become national news, so I can't predict 100% that this would have made the national news. None the less, white-on-black violence is a rarity today.

White-on-black violence today occurs at a rate that's about 10 times of the reverse, and violence suffered by blacks occurs about ten times more frequently from black criminals than black.

The point of my posting is that Detroit is a city beset by problems, and one of those is violence and other acts of crime that cause all sorts of other problems, such as lowered property values and higher insurance rates. And the answer to all these problems returns to my theme of personal choice. The people who live in Detroit could create a paradise if they chose to do so; no outside agencies, individuals, or groups are conspiring to defeat Detroit or its residents.

The causes and solutions to all of Detroit's problems reside within its borders and the choices of its residents. The victim here and his wife made all the right choices, as do most of the residents there. But it only takes a minority of retarded individuals to ruin what a majority have tried to create.

"None the less, white-on-black violence is a rarity today."

Paul, THAT IS A LIE.

You white righties wave around your "stats" which are gathered, compiled and published by other white folks which apparaently "prove" that blacks are more violent toward whites than reverse.

My personal experience and that of most other blacks tell us differently and we are not going to accept your interpretation.

BTW, aren't white people far more likely to be victimized by other whites than blacks?

If not, why not?

Paul Hue said...

The stats speak for themselves, regardless of how you choose to interpret them. Black victims of violence, rape, and theft in today's USA have a tiny likelihood of having a white assailant, a sliver of a fraction of the 50% honkey fraction of the population, and even of the 25% fraction composed by white men (men commit about 90% of these sorts of crimes). Meanwhile the opposite is true for white victims of these crimes: their likelihood of having a black male assailant is many times higher than the 6% of the US population composed by men.

I have confidence that if the opposite were true -- if white-on-black violence and other crimes dominated over the reverse -- you would cite this as evidence of racism, and a reason for many of society's problems.

round and round we go.

The main difference is that when blacks victimize whites they are punished severely..

When whites victimize blacks they often walk free as birds.

And you still didn't answer my question..

Aren't white people far more likely to be victimized by other whites than blacks?

Yes or no?

Paul Hue said...

Here's the factual crime stats that I've previously presented, and they are very clear:

As for the answer to your question, Steve, I don't know if whites are absolutely more likely to be victimized by blacks than whites. I just know that when interracial street crimes (murder, rape, robbery, assault) occur, 90% is black-on-white, and when blacks are victims of these crimes, over 90% of the time their assailant is black. In summary, black perpetrators dominate crimes against blacks, and they also dominate black-white crimes; I do not know if they also dominate all crimes against whites, but I assume that not to be true.

In any case, where black folks -- like the victims in this story -- live in areas of high crime that are also areas with a black majority, nobody can logically blame anybody but those criminals themselves. In a nation where black folks commit 90% of all interracial black-white crimes, racism surely cannot explain the high crime rates in the area where this decent crime victim lives.

Most crime is intra-racial.

The truth shall set you free.

I already know this, and nothing I have written, including all the factual data I have presented, contradicts your observation that "most crime is intra-racial". Only a very ignorant, dim-witted person could conclude that what I have written indicates that I believe otherwise.

The point I have made with this posting, clearly, is: Detroit suffers from very high crime, this crime is nearly all black-on-black crime, and although many of my fellow Detroit boosters blame Detroit's problems on external white racists, the black-on-black crime that beleaguers Detroit cannot be explained by white racism. The only possible explanation: bad choices by the people who commit these crimes.

"I already know this, and nothing I have written, including all the factual data I have presented, contradicts your observation that "most crime is intra-racial". Only a very ignorant, dim-witted person could conclude that what I have written indicates that I believe otherwise."

Right after he says THIS:

"I don't know if whites are absolutely more likely to be victimized by blacks than whites."

This is an obvious attempt at wiggling and evasion until the truth is presented where you can't evade.

My work is done here.

Paul Hue said...

Steve: The comment from me that you quote was a response by me to your question posed to me, wherein you asked me to explain a claim that I have never expressed, and it was followed by my stating that I assume that the claim in question was false.

uptownseteve said...

Could you please just answer a straight question with a straight answer?

Isn't it true that white people are far more likely to victimized by another white than a black?

Yes or No?

And if not, why not?

Paul Hue said...

Yes, absolutely.

Paul Hue said...

Yes, the vast majority of crimes (murder, rape, theft, burglary, assault) experienced by honkies is committed by other honkies, especially when the event occurs in areas with high white majority residents.


I don't recall the exact figures, but this is what I remember.

The victim and his wife here fairly encourage fellow prisoners to beat up the assailant.
