NYPD Can't Hire African Americans Because "So Many Of Them Have Spent Time In Jail," Commissioner Says
“The people in this building are just as upset over that piss as you are.”
That’s what 22-year NYPD veteran Eric Adams told a rookie cop when the two entered an elevator in a New York public housing project. The puddle of urine in the corner prompted the new recruit to offer the following appraisal: “these people are all animals; they don’t deserve anything.”
Adams — who was a captain by the time he retired five years ago to pursue a career in politics — is African American and says police too often stereotype entire communities based on the offenses committed by a “numerical minority.” One might be inclined to view minorities' disproportionate share of lethal police shootings involving unarmed suspects as evidence of this dynamic.
Some suggest that hiring more African American police officers would help to ameliorate the situation.
The problem, according to NYPD commissioner William Bratton, is simple: too many African Americans have spent time in prison. The Guardian has more:
What an officer does, in essence, can make or break community trust – and even keep black applicants away from the NYPD. Even as the NYPD is more diverse over all than it’s ever been, in late June the police academy will graduate one of its smallest percentage of black males since the 1960s..
While increasing numbers of Hispanics and Asians, especially men, are joining the NYPD, the future looks bleaker for black applicants. One number in particular is jarring: black males make up only 6.86% of the 2015 police academy recruit class that will graduate this month, with black females just under 4%, for a total of 10.86%, while black residents total about 22% of the city’s population.
For comparison, black recruits totaled 7.3 % in 1970 at the end of the Civil Rights Movement, almost all of whom were men.
Commissioner William Bratton is blunt about probable causes. “We have a significant population gap among African American males because so many of them have spent time in jail and, as such, we can’t hire them,” he said in a 20 May interview. Because many black men have been convicted of a felony, they are automatically disqualified.
The irony, of course, is that one reason so many African Americans have spent time in jail and thus cannot become police officers is poor policing.
A complicating factor is what Bratton calls the “unfortunate consequences” of an explosion in “stop, question and frisk” stops in the last decade that caught many young men of color in a summons net.
Those summonses are not automatic disqualifications. However, after passing the exam, a candidate moves to the more subjective background investigation, which includes criminal records. A pot arrest without indications of gang activity might not disqualify a candidate, but a series of summonses could. As a result, Bratton is concerned that the “population pool is much smaller than it might ordinarily have been”.
Bratton is often blamed for New York’s stop-and-frisk era – 4.4m stops; 92% non-white from 2002 until 2012. The controversial policy was struck down in 2013 by a federal judge, who called the practice blatant racial profiling.
Trevena Garel, a retired African American NYPD veteran of 21 years whose father was an NYPD detective, is not optimistic about the future for relations between police and African American communities. In fact, she tells her own son that if he is ever pulled over he should immediately place his hands on the steering wheel, refuse to say anything, and ask for an attorney. Here's her rationale:
“I may piss off my law-enforcement colleagues, but I want to keep my son alive. That’s something that, unfortunately, I have to do, and my white counterparts don’t have to do. That’s what America’s ugly history has taught.”
Needless to say, that rather grim assessment does not bode well for the future of race relations in America.

If only we could get more Banker Wankers locked up.
That's discrimination. All are created equal. 100% of the police should have spent time in jail to know what it's like.
That's ok.. We are getting ready to throw a few more white cops in jail....
FDA and a drug dealer on the street corner... whats the difference? No difference! If anything the dealer on the street would have to answer for bad drugs. FDA have yet to have someone come for them. Legalize drugs to at least give the people, who are willing to do something, a chance to make their lives better.
USA is one of the few countries that jail people who hurt themselves or do what pharm companies/FDA do... Sell drugs (drugs are in non-organic foods too).
The only thing that pissed me off about this story is that the black NYPD officer retired after only 21 years.
How about putting an end to that shit first?
It's all Whitey's fault
Why aren't there any quotas for black banksters? So many having spent time in jail makes them perfect candidates for the banking profession.
Then we'd hear Banksta Rap songs.

These statements are at odds. Wonder which one is more accurate?
I wouldn't want to be a cop at all. They have lost my trust as you cna see with this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oTWMXfb_QY
It would never occur to the prison industrial complex that there are too many things which are illegal.
The value of any form of government can be measured by the number of aspects of private life which are outside the reach of the voter.
Is this like a poll tax or voter ID? Institutionalized discrimination, I tell ya. What's next, you have to actually get good grades to graduate and have qualifications to be hired for a job? Wait until Obozo gets his "common sense" regulations implemented, then we'll be able to continue the march towards income and social equality for all.
I could never qualify to be a cop. Sadly, my IQ isn't low enough.
I am Chumbawamba.
That information right there knocks a standard deviation off of the likelihood that chumba resembles Trayvon.

In the following case, yes, as both the cops and their victims are white. They'll find a way to stereotype you before they beat you.

Reality is so racist. We should all ignore it!
But you've never been acquainted with reality.
Doesn't NYPD make criminals, anyway?
Criminals, cannibals, you name it.
the average black iq is 70, they have elevated testosterone levels, they commit violent crimes at the same ratio of male crimes to women or 8:1 black crimes to white.
What's your IQ? Mine is 138.
Son, that 3 digit number won't even buy you a cup of coffee anymore. I'm not even talking about the good stuff. I'm talking about the piss water swill they serve at the convenience store on the midnight shift that's been sitting there since noon. Buys you about as much as a good credit score these days.
Could you state your point more succinctly? I enjoyed the ride but I'm not sure where we ended up.
It didn't really mean anything. Maybe my critique of shitty convenience store coffee, but that's about it.
It was all about the ride.
:D

If the cops wish to keep saying that there are only a few bad apples in their bunch. perhaps they could start to disove the thin blue line and begin outing these bad apples. Because from where I stand, the bad behavior tends to be more the norm rather than the exeption.
Sterotypes exist because they are largely accurate.
Oh no, did he just make a simple observation based on the NYPDs policies.
Racist!!!
Very difficult to tell the criminals from the police these days.
According to the agitprop that passes for news, and cryptocommunist obama DOJ appointees and their flaks, yes it is.
Police are even less accurate and display even fewer qualms about opening fire for the slightest imagined provocation.
Police call for backup and will have 20 officers on a "scene" quicker than flies on fresh cow pie.
A large percentage of police are on steroids than common criminals.
The police rob you with fines, tickets and then with taxes; even when they're not robbing you, they're robbing you. Non-state sanctioned gangbangers are unable to mount such a persuasive, ongoing robbery campaign.
Police are festooned with more weapons and armor than a Navy Seal, yet are frightened by old women, chained dogs, an unfunded pensions. Criminals are usually unarmored and lightly armed, if at all.
There's an imposed upper limit to a cop's IQ; regular criminals, not so much.
Shoot a cop's dog as it tries to tear your throat out - that's a big no no and you'll do time. Shoot a criminal's dog as he attacks you, no big deal.
I could go on, but this should give you a rudimentary way of figuring out which flavor of criminal you're dealing with - state sanctioned or otherwise.
Fact: Cops are NOT legally liable for their errant rounds. Citizens ARE legally and criminally liable for rounds that miss. Who do you think is gonna fire more and miss more, given this risk/reward?
Dont forget, cop shoots somebody, it's PAID VACATION CITY. Citizen shoots somebody? Time for the 2nd mortgage to pay the lawyer. Not to metion pink slip, if you are working for the man.
DOES ANYONE SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS SYSTEM?
How many decades of patently unconstitutional "stop and frisk" abuse of people "of color" without any hope of legal representation did it take for these thin blue line cocksuckers to be able to say "gee, we wish we could hire them, but they've just plain been in jail too much."
I would be curious to know what the statistical difference in black arrests were between say 1955 and 2015. How much of police violence has been a response to minority violence versus how much minority violence has been a response to police violence OR civil rights activists and liberal media that instantly highlight any action that could be seen a racist in even the slightest way?
As a white man living in a predominantly black suburb and having a wife who has served on a city board, I can tell you that there is virtually NO conflict that is not couched in claimed racism. While this is bad enough in that many times the real issue is missed completely, it fosters animosity in many minorities who have been indoctrinated with the belief that they were being oppressed as the ONLY reason why they had not achieved all that they dreamed possible. How could ANY police department maintain any set of laws fairly with this kind of predisposition. We are living in a world where everyone is carrying a chip on their shoulder, being constantly reminded of their NEED to do so, to retain every sense of injustice from birth, as justification for THEIR demands for JUSTICE.
Does anyone even really know what justice is anymore?
Another poster on this thread linked this:
According to it:
When whites commit violent crime, 3% of their victims are black.
In contrast blacks commit more violent crime against whites than they do other blacks.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa (this I found astounding, given the politization of 'hate crime'.
Of the ~770,000 violent inter-racial crimes involving blacks and whites, niggers commit 85%.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime againsta white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Now repeat after me, “Diversity is our greatest strength”
Really want your mind blown? Look up the black on white vs. white on black rape statistics. There's a war on, friends, whether you're willing to admit it or not
"Sterotypes exist because they are largely accurate."
So the stereotype of the racist white male who hates black men because their penises are larger is true in your experience. My condolences to your libido.
lil dingy cracker hates bid dingaling blacks and loves guns. Freud would have a field day.
To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a gun is just a gun.
They drink Thunderbird but their penises are regular sized.
I don't think I hate anyone, but what I sincerely dislike is anyone who thinks I owe them something, and also feels they have the right to take it. I'm just a little resistant to that.
Right there with you, buddy. And most of the folks who rip me off are white like the former and present governors of PA, for example.
And how many are playing Robin Hood, stealing from the "rich" to give to the under privileged? Don't you love that word..."under privileged"? Its all about getting your fair share of "privileges" right?
Our rights are easily preserved and cost little to nothing to do so as they come to us naturally. It is the love of our elites that works so hard to convince us that those rights are not enough, that we need to redistribute the "privileges" amongst those who exist under quota.
Nice 6th grade level rebuttal.
How's that? The guy said that stereotypes are mostly true. There is a stereotype that whites are racist and there is a stereotype that black men have larger penises. He said that those stereotypes are true, I didn't.

Those aren't stereotypes, that's just some shit you made up.
A stereotype should be a stereotype when it has some statistical backing, a nugget of mathematical empirical truth to it. If it doesn't, it's just a widely held belief, an incorrect one at that.
Neither of the two things you claim is backed up by any kind of definitive data.
What we do have a fucking mountain of data on, though, is just how much more violent crime blacks (not just USA, pick any country) commit than any other race. It's quite astonishing.
"Those aren't stereotypes, that's just some shit you made up."
Yeah, I made up the stereotype about black guys having bigger dicks. I admit it.
Moron.

"Black guys generally have larger penises" is likey a true stereotype although I have not personnaly conducted any research on this. Perhaps you have? You threw out an ad hominem attack about my libidio which makes you sound immature. But what the hell this is Fight Club. All good.
Oh, and by the way....

I copped the "My condolences to your libido" line from a M*A*S*H episode so it's Larry Gelbart who you should think of as being immature.
And why would you even have to ask if JJ is racist? Isn't it obvious?
Just as obvious that you are a nigger,

“Rev. Billy Graham openly voiced a belief that Jews control the American media, calling it a "stranglehold" during a 1972 conversation with President Richard Nixon, according to a tape of the Oval Office meeting released Thursday by the National Archives.
"This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain," the nation's best-known preacher declared as he agreed with a stream of bigoted Nixon comments about Jews and their perceived influence in American life.
"You believe that?" Nixon says after the "stranglehold" comment.
"Yes, sir," Graham says.
"Oh, boy," replies Nixon. "So do I. I can't ever say that but I believe it."

Wasn't it Voltaire who said something about knowing who rules over you by who you cannot criticize?
From where I'm sitting it looks like the following cannot be criticized:
Jews
Women
Gays
Blacks
Hispanics
Transgenders
Feminists.
Very good link and excerpt there sir. I am not surprised that Nixon said "I can never say it" because... Wait for it... he knew who ruled then and so did Graham.

Who runs Hollywood? C’mon
December 19, 2008 | JOEL STEIN | LA Times
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish)*, CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/19/opinion/oe-stein19
* Barry Meyer has since been reassigned to the San Francisco FED.
That's because making movies has no barriers to entry. All you need is a camera and to be literate enough to write the screenplay. Jews were historically excluded from many industries (such as law) and they made their own spaces where they could be successful. Now you want to cry about it? Are you also going to cry about blacks being successful in athletics? I feel bad for you, you pathetic bigot.
Its also easy to become a banker if one starts as a loan shark. Its an honest business despite the connotations.
Dat be raycis!
You picked up on Ebonics pretty quick there, fella, sure you're not high yellow?
Now you bein raycis~
It is all because police are trained to induce by threat one's Constitutional Rights. Walking while black and using an automobile while black are Constitutionally protected rights the same as for whites. First you are tricked into giving up your private rights and now you only have government permission. When you have permission from the government to do something they can check any time they want to make sure you are complying by the rule book.
The stop and frisk statute was blatantly in violation of the American Constitution. Those who wrote the statute, those who voted for the statute and those that enforced the statute ( or was it just policy ) are guilty of conspiracy to deprive people of their Constitutional protections. This is conspiracy by felony treason, a capitol crime.
Why don't we make Jaycee and Oprah the new Czar of African'merican Employment? Fuck your rules!
The only downfall is they might only have a handful of clients that actually want to work.
A statist racist would see that as being the only problem. How about we end the welfare-warfare state entirely?
But without big gobernut welfare, poet fags named Billy would starve and we wouldn't have to see that libtard's shit posts here day after day!
so there could be a looming battle between lower income black people(who statistically commit most crimes) and the authoritarian, corrupt, NYPD? Sweet. They can battle it out, ill watch on TV. No matter which side prevails, the average working person wins with less of both groups. Fuck em
that's not the only thing that pisses me off.
I've met a few racist over the decades, but i've never met anyone who was "proud" of the history of slavery. But I'm sick of these comments,
"That’s what America’s ugly history has taught.”
....America's "ugly history" has given tens of millions of black people an opportunity for a decent life they never would have had if some immoral slugs had not sent their ancestors to America.
"We have a significant population gap among African American males because so many of them have spent time in jail and, as such, we can’t hire them."
(Golf clap)
And the rest are too dumb to pass the test.
I thought that was a good thing for cops.
Can't have them too smart now! Who knows what they'd figure out!
They already 'adjusted' the required scores for each race. Whites>Hispanics>Blacks on most .gov entrance exams.
The 'curve' they put in for certain groups would blow your mind.
And I don't doubt that you're right. Even the curved test results.
But but but blacks have felony records cuz raycist.
Deydindunuffin.
This is called " sarcasm " , a type of HUMOR people ! [ This in response to the comment by publicus above ]
Publicus, do you have any idea how fucking stupid your statment was?
You have to be a dumb, sheltered, naive mother fucker to believe the reason black males are arrested more than white Amish males is because of racism.
A seriously borderline retard.
Publicus- If we still had thr rule of law, many of those on police forces would have criminal records
"Some suggest that hiring more African American police officers would help to ameliorate the situation."
Didn't help in Baltimore.
Law enforcement is between a rock and a hard place. They have to follow orders from politicians who tell them to do something, which they proceed to do. Then it pisses off the people and they bitch at the politicians, who proceed to flog the police for following orders. Lose-lose for everybody BUT the politicians who get re-elected on reform......
Law enforcement is between a rock and a hard place.
Get a real job in the private sector, bringing a valuable and desireable product to market at a competitive price, raising the wealth of those around you in the process.
Or, get a job enforcing the will of the corporate oligarchy, stealing people's property and their liberty every chance you get, in order to fully fund your pension plan, get promotions and raises, and enrich your corporate-entity "government". And then expect sympathy.
You mean like the finacial services industry? SWRichmond, you are a fucking clown.
It could be financial services. If you are a pig who has had enough of playing the tyrant, you could become a life insurance salesman and sell policies to your pig buddies. Or you could open a Jiffy Lube. Or a restaurant.
And dont forget the criminal opportunities, leveraging your cop friendships to make everyone a little more wealthy.
And the MSM stirring the pot. What a circus. lol.
Stirring? They make stories up. Usually by targeted omission of pertinent facts, innuendo, framing the story just so, etc, but not only. They practically beg shit stirring low lifes to bring them fodder.

They only see two colors: blue (heroes) and not blue (heroes).
That's the problem. They see us as the enemy. Doesn't matter where they come from they eventually adopt that attitude.
Have you dealt with a cop lately? (borrows from the old Ford ad campaign).
Have you dealt with a cop lately?
A friend of mine owns a drive through beverage store. A few months back, a bling-bling Escalade pulls in with a young woman blond driving and a clearly 40+ year old man sitting next to her. Assuming that it was his vehicle and he was dad/sugardaddy, she asks for a case of Labatt Blue and he asks for ID.
She says she 'forgot' it, so my friend says sorry, I need ID. Old man sitting in the passenger seat quickly says "I'll buy it" and whips out his ID. Transaction done, 15 minutes later the SWAT team arrives and arrests him on the spot.
Not for selling to minor, mind you, but for EWOC (endangering welfare of child) because of course it was an undercover sting operation for underage sales (which did not occur) but the cop (daddy/sugardaddy) says that my friend knew the beer was for an underage minor!
Months later and thousands of dollars in attorney fees, they let him plead to a minor 'violation' that will not be on his record, but the fine is still steep.
YMMV
I have. Some asshole smashed the back window in my car looking for something valuable (there was nothing except a few coins in the cupholder), and got shards of glass all over the baby's carseat. Baby on Board signs be damned, must have been some desperate junkie, all he/she needed was some compassion.
The two white cops that came looked no more than 25, both wearing wedding bands - they were considerate and helpful.
We're further down this road in the UK where the primary role of the police is enforcement of political correctness. They go to great lengths to obfuscate racial aspect of newsworthy crimes, and are relentless and heavy handed (incarceration before trial) in the pursuit of anyone percieved to have given the slightest offense based on race, creed or sexual orientation. Even a misheard remark in a stranger's conversation on a train has led to 48 hours in custody for the accused.
The important thing to note here is that the rank and file officers were so put upon for actually pursuing traditional crime (robbery, assault, burglary etc) with accusations of institutional racism, that they have taken to their new role with gusto and relish the chance to turn the tables on the traditionally law-abiding.
This is how things will evolve in America.
I wonder if the NYPD would have hired Kalief Browder? He's the kid who was accused of stealing a backpack, never got to face his accuser, spent nearly three years on Rikers (two of those in solitary confinement) and was never convicted of a crime. Of course, the question is now moot, Kalief committed suicide last weekend.
http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/kalief-browder-1993-2015
Boy, it sure is great having a system where rich crooks are never even charged with crimes, while poor people who aren't even convicted of a crime get to spend years and years in confinement. Such a wonderful system. Makes me want to wave a flag.
Your link is broken, but thanks for trying.
Sucked to be Kalief.
Seems to me I recall hearing that Martin Armstrong also spent several years in jail without a.....errr..... never mind.

Pretty stupid making death threats to judges, online or not
Many, many, many posts here over the years could be treated as serious threats by those so inclined...
Each and every government worker should feel that their job is at risk. The fact that they quite obviously don't live under such threat explains their abuses and the great animosity of the so ruled. Judges and prosecutors should expect, with the unaccountibility of immunity(invented of whole cloth by the judiciary alone) lots and lots of outrage and not a little bit of seething rage.
For sure. Scare tactics at the same time (psy ops). Fuck em.
Why not import more Africans from the homeland with clear records, problem solved :)
Great idea. Plus a boost to BDI. Awesome. Especially if we can count them as part of GDP and employment.
So if it is "bad policing", then wouldn't we have equal percentages of whites and blacks who are in jail but shouldn't be? It still heavily skews black, and I think we have enough riots and videos to prove that.
Let's ask it another way. NOLA had rioting and looting when Katrina came in, but why didn't we hear about riots in Iowa when that flooded around the same time?
bullshit
racism
Likelihood of intellegent analysis and tracing to root causes as a means of affecting real social change: nil.
When asked why there are so few African Americans accepted into the Harvard Medical School, Dean Jeffrey Flier responded: "Look, we'd love to have a greater representation of African Americans, but the fact is that most of them have been sick at some point in their lives, and therefore our hands are tied."
Except they do admit black students, that quote was never made, and that quote does not apply to this situation anyway. It is 100% libtard logic.

Apparently my original post was far too nuanced for you (and others) to understand.
The original was brilliant.
agreed.........
Have there ever been any black/brown EMPIRES?
Egypt, which created Greece.
egypt doubtful, but how about tolmec, inca, aztec?
Newsflash-It's the other way around! Egypt is a greek name meaning below the Aegean(Aegis-agean+ptos-below) for the Egy-pt..............
That doesnt mean anything one way or the other. You are just talking about the etymology of the word Egypt. I dont know how ancient egyptians called themselves but here in Israel we call Egypt "Mitzraim".
Which actually means "Eastern".
North Africa is not Black. Egypt did not 'create' Greece, unless you think trading in the Aegean with the Minoans counts. Carthage would have to be included if you are considering North Africa as Black, but its not black.
Egypt was ruled by Greek dynasties from the time of Alexander the Great until Rome took over.
The Ptolomies, I believe
Tinky your orginial post was fucking lame. Only your dumbass thought it was great.
And in fact blacks get a much higher acceptance rate to med school than whites or asians with equal GPA and MCAT score. Ridiculously higher.
AMA did a study. I read about it when the story of the Indian guy who pretended to black so his (good) scores would get him med school. As an Asian he was rejected with his scores. As an African American he got to pick his school.
Again, with the same scores.
Question to ponder: Does lowering standards so some less capable people can do a certain job (in fairness of course) lower or raise the standards for that job and industry?
If the NBA had affirmative action and required 65% white players on each team (in keeping with population makeup), required at least half the players to be under 6 foot tall (population averages), would the teams be better or worse?
Everyone can accept that affirmative action in sports would put less talented athletes on the court. But for some reason this rock solid logic does not apply outside of sports and entertainment.
I wonder why that is?
having been sick as a disqualification for med school has no logic, but being a felon as a disqualification for being a cop does. what's so fucking nuanced about that?
Do you want to go to a doctor whose only qualification is his skin color?
Send the niggers back to Africa...
What? Africans dont want em either? They're Africans!! You take those fuckers back!!
Sad how ZH allows this NeoNazi cunt to spew his hate.
it's up to you. send a mail to Abuse/Complaints: abuse [ at ] zerohedge.com with the link of the abuse perpetrated. Tourette Syndrome is the default, I guess
fwiw I think the more libertarian approach to speech you don't like is more speech - not trying to have the speaker removed.
Don't you?
Nope. If it upsets my feeble sensibilities, it must be banned! Banned, GODDAMMIT! BANNED!!!!!!
;)
LOL. This place has become even stranger then before. If I wanted that speaker removed, I would have sent that mail myself
Logic has evacuated the ZH commentary premises
Ghordius,
What in fucking Dog damn name are you fucking talking about?
You sound like that cunt Tony B.Liar

Free speech can be uncomfortable and very irritating.....but the alternatives are much worse my friend.
Free speech is not race baiting by Jewish media outlets, discerning between the 2 could save your life.
free speech appears to end where you say it should
At least i know when I am being played by a third party to stir up racial divisions as a distraction from far more important issues.
Race is the most important issue.
One alternative would be to move yourself to a heavliy black neighborhood if you like black people and want them to be your neighbors.
Hell practice what you preach downvoting progressives.
My guess is that none of you has ever had teh privilege of witness black mob violence (aka chimpout) first hand as a white person bystanding innocently.
Then why did you move the Blacks to your neighborhood, you brought them there...and now you can't make them work for free you would like to send them back. Somehow I doubt the Jewish slave traders will comp them a ticket home.
Plenty of mainstream websites rigorously censor their comments. Go there if you don't want to be troubled by racist ideas. If it makes you feel better, when the National Unity government sets up internment camps, we'll be extra careful not to segregate liberals by race. You'll love Africans even more when they're your grandchildren!
