Yet more statistical dreck from AfricaCheck

Why are white women so much more likely to be murdered by ‘others’?

There is an Afrikaans word for faeces that is used rather less often than its more vulgar “kak“ equivalent: “drek.” I was extremely amused to read a piece issued by AfricaCheck, which is where my “drek” word comes in, because, you see, AfricaCheck should rather be called AfricaDrek, due to all the faeces emanating from the likes of the author of the piece in question, Ms Lisa Vetten. AfricaDrek is rather like the newspaper, Pravda (“Truth”), in the old Soviet Union; an organization, its name notwithstanding, not interested in publishing the truth at all, but rather dedicated to lies, obfuscation, and yes,  pure, unadulterated bullshit or drek. (These days, of course, Pravda is a lot more readable in post-Soviet times.)

manfredNo piece I’ve read in 2014 has been more worthy of being described as drek than this masterpiece of desperate, attempted obfuscation by Ms Vetten. Congratulations, Ms Vetten! You can come and collect your plastic toilet seat award from me, for the most smelly turd of 2014.

Firstly, Ms Vetten describes herself as a researcher in the blurb below the article, and therefore presumably fancies herself to be some kind of academic, one given to objective analysis and the pursuit of the facts. Certainly most people would not think of an academic as one who would descend to name-calling and labelling. Yet name-calling is exactly what she cannot resist doing, describing her opponents variously as “prejudiced”, “amateur” and the “white right”.

Yes, of course. The usual suspects. Puke Watson would be proud of Ms Vetten’s stereotypes – thick-as-bricks Afrikaners, who wear khaki and down Klippies and Coke. Dumb Dutchmen.

Not quite the type of thing my professors would have approved of in a research paper, but nonetheless, at AfricaDrek, it seems to be acceptable to pretend to be an academic, but descend to name-calling when you know you’ve lost the argument, which is all the time. I was therefore tempted to use similar terms in the title to my piece, say “Feminazi causes a late-term statistical abortion”, but then I’m an amateur and not an AfricaDrek academic.

But let me, the mere dumb Dutchman, and yes, an amateur white right-winger, flush Ms Vetten’s drek down the toilet, as it were.

Firstly, uniquely among all races, the study quoted in Ms Vetten’s piece above says that many more white women are killed by others, i.e. not by their intimate partners. In fact, uniquely among races, white women were killed during the study period at a rate more than twice that of being killed by their intimate partners! Ms Vetten quotes in her column that 2.8 per 100 000 white women were killed by their intimate partners in the MRC study of 1999, but that a whopping 5.8 per 100 000 of white women were killed by “others”.  So a white woman had a 32% chance of being killed by her partner, as opposed to a 68% chance of another person killing her – of being murdered by “others”.

However, this paper, also by the MRC, states that anywhere from 50% to 56% of all female homicides in South Africa generally are perpetrated by their intimate partners. Oops, now this presents somewhat of a dilemma to Ms Vetten.  Why were “only” 32% of white homicide victims, as opposed to between 50% and 56% of the overall SA population, murdered by intimate partners? Why are white women so much more likely to be murdered by others?

Are white uncles, friends, cousins, parents and so on, really, seriously that much more violent than the “others” of other races, by a factor of between 30% and 40%? (68% divided by 50%.) No doubt Ms Vetten would agree with the above, and might even confidently state that indeed we whites are indeed 40% more violent towards our women. Perhaps she would hasten to add that white right-wingers are especially guilty of “other” feminine homicide.

What she doesn’t say is, however, more important than what she does write in her piece. Ms Vetten doesn’t even attempt to explain the above huge discrepancy. She wouldn’t dare to, because even an amateur like myself would understand that this would overwhelmingly support the contention that whites are being murdered more by “others”, than blacks, Indians and coloureds are. Who are these others?

Lisa Vetten doesn’t know. She has not the foggiest notion who they might be. As she herself writes:

But of course, given that we do not have racial breakdowns of perpetrators per category of women, it also possible that some white men may have killed some African women, that a few African men may have killed a small number of Indian women and that some coloured men killed white women.

Each of these permutations is possible when we are dealing only with percentages overall.

Exactly, Ms Vetten. As you yourself say, even the so-called amateur white right may be dead right, when they say that most white women are killed by black others. Again in your own words, “each of these permutations is possible”. You simply don’t know who kills white women, but if you consider how comparatively many white women are killed by others, and considering news reports and anecdotal evidence, all thinking people at least have their suspicions that it is NOT white grannies above 75 who are killing other white women.

And then, of course Ms Vetten, after having failed to explain why others kill white women at a far higher rate than what is true for other races, and having  admitted to her total ignorance in the quotation above, she falls back on the tired old brain-dead excuse, which I will paraphrase as follows: “Everybody suffers from crime. White women aren’t special.” (Which makes white homicide and hate crimes committed by other races against whites OK, then?)

Another giant turd from AfricaDrek, indeed.

The truth on interracial rape in the United States

By Lawrence Auster

Like Ahab’s search for the Great White Whale, liberals’ search for the Great White Defendant is relentless and never-ending. When, in 1988, Tawana Brawley’s and Al Sharpton’s then year-old spectacular charge that several white men including prosecutor Steven Pagones (whose name Brawley had picked out of a newspaper article) had abducted and raped the 15 year old was shown to be completely false, the Nation said it didn’t matter, since the charges expressed the essential nature of white men’s treatment of black women in this country. When the Duke University lacrosse players were accused of raping a black stripper last year, liberals everywhere treated the accusation as fact, because, just as with the Nation and Tawana Brawley, the rape charge seemed to the minds of liberals to reflect the true nature of oppressive racial and sexual relations in America.

To see the real truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice document Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005. (Go to the linked document, and under “Victims and Offenders” download the pdf file for 2005.)

In Table 42, entitled “Personal crimes of violence, 2005, percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender,” we learn that there were 111,590 white victims and 36,620 black victims of rape or sexual assault in 2005. (The number of rapes is not distinguished from those of sexual assaults; it is maddening that sexual assault, an ill-defined category that covers various types of criminal acts ranging from penetration to inappropriate touching, is conflated with the more specific crime of rape.) In the 111,590 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was white, 44.5 percent of the offenders were white, and 33.6 percent of the offenders were black. In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.

The table does not gives statistics for Hispanic victims and offenders. But the bottom line on interracial white/black and black/white rape is clear:

 In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.

The Department of Justice statistics refer, of course, to verified reports. According to the Wikipedia article on rape, as many as half of all rape charges nationally are determined by police and prosecutors to be false:

Linda Fairstein, former head of the New York County District Attorney’s Sex Crimes Unit, noted, “There are about 4,000 reports of rape each year in Manhattan. Of these, about half simply did not happen…. It’s my job to bring justice to the man who has been falsely accused by a woman who has a grudge against him, just as it’s my job to prosecute the real thing.”

No wonder there was such absolute belief in the guilt of the Duke students among the leading sectors of liberal America. A drug-addled, half-deranged, promiscuous black stripper accused three young white men of raping her. There are virtually zero rapes of black women by white men in the United States, and half of all rape charges against specific individuals turn out to be false. But in the gnostic, inverted world of liberal demonology, the white students had to be guilty.

Meanwhile, in the real America, week after week, the newspapers report the rapes of white women by black men—though, of course, without ever once using the words, “a white woman was raped by black man.” Just last week in the New York Post there was a story about a serial black rapist who invaded women’s apartments on Manhattan’s Upper West Side; you knew the rapist was black from a police drawing accompanying the story, and you knew the victims were most likely white from the neighborhoods where the attacks occurred. But even when news media’s reports of black on white rape make the race of the perpetrator evident (which the media only does in a minority of instances), no explicit reference is ever made to the racial aspect of the case. Each story of black on white rape is reported in isolation, not presented as part of a larger pattern. There is never the slightest mention of the fact that white women in this country are being targeted by black rapists. In the inverted world of liberalism, the phenomenon does not exist.
