From the liberal mediamatters.org:

Quote:


BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. 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. 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 view that aborting Black babies would be "ridiculous and morally reprehensible" seems to be a strongly anti-racist statement to me. I wonder how many news outlets will be showing the inflammatory quote in full context?


This controversy strikes me as phony and unwarranted as the Washington DC politico fired for using the word "niggardly".
