Abstract: We find prima facie evidence that African Americans and Hispanics are over-stopped, over-frisked, over-searched, and over-arrested.
The findings of racial disparity are supported by ancillary analyses of investigative outcomes and officer race. We find that frisks and searches are systematically less productive when conducted on blacks and Hispanics than when conducted on whites.
It is implausible that higher frisk and search rates are justified by higher minority criminality, when these frisks and searches are substantially less likely to uncover weapons, drugs or other types of contraband. We also find that the black arrest disparity was 9 percentage points lower when the stopping officer was black than when the stopping officer was not black. Similarly, the Hispanic arrest disparity was 7 percentage points lower when the stopping officer was Hispanic than when the stopping officer was a non-Hispanic white.

[Though] Bratton was critical of the Ayres report, he has as yet failed to disclose the information [that] … is readily available and would surely refute the report’s bottom line, to wit, that blacks in Los Angeles, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, commit crimes at a far greater rate than do whites, and are therefore subjected to a greater level of attention from police officers on patrol…
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa [who flunked the California bar exam all four times he took it, and thus cannot practice law] was once president of the L.A. chapter of the ACLU, and the rest of the city government is composed almost entirely of like-minded liberals. They are far too committed to politically correct ideals to disclose the cold and persistent facts that LAPD cops, indeed cops all over the country, know all too well….

Kevin McAleenan took the El Paso shooting personally. The acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security had visited the city more than a dozen times. He recalled in an interview yesterday that among his first thoughts were the safety of the DHS workforce, which numbers some 4,000 people there, many of them Hispanic.
The shooter’s motivation quickly became clear, with 22 people dead in a Walmart and an online manifesto attributed to the shooter citing an “invasion” of immigrants. “This,” McAleenan recalls thinking, “was an attack on all of us, on our family.” Speaking to The Atlantic more than six weeks after the attack, he had an “El Paso Strong” bracelet on his wrist.
The El Paso shooting figures into a new strategy to counter terrorism and “targeted violence” that the Department of Homeland Security will release today, which The Atlantic obtained and describes here for the first time. The document dwells at length on the threat of white supremacists specifically, which is surprising coming from President Donald Trump’s administration, given that one of its first counterterrorism policies was to try to ban citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries. Trump has also pushed for a border wall, which he has said will help keep out terrorists, even though most fatal terrorist attacks in the United States in recent years have been carried out by U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The DHS document is an acknowledgment that, nearly 20 years after 9/11, the new terrorist threat comes largely from within—and not as much from jihadists as from the extreme right.
The department is clearly trying to send a message that it takes the threat of violent white nationalists seriously, and McAleenan said that when leadership lays out its goals, bureaucracies tend to move.

Ironically, if killers of Michael Brown had been more humane, they would have called ambulance & body would have been quickly removed.— Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) August 26, 2014
It was not a safe situation…. The police could not control the crowd. There was times where we feared for our lives…. There was gunshots while we were there…. It took so long, because we could not do our job. It was unsafe for us to be there. [A cop told the Whitakers] “Stay in your vehicles. You guys do not have vests. The best thing for you to do is to kind of get down, and let us get control of the situation.” [“Funeral director explains why it took so long to remove Michael Brown’s body from street” by FOX 4 Newsroom, Fox4KC, September 8, 2014.Unbeknownst to most people, Oates has been preoccupied with race her entire career, in the same manner in which she has sought to keep hoax alive in the Brown case.
In The Accursed, white elites in Princeton, 1905-1906, including university and future American president, Woodrow Wilson, are cursed by demons and the Devil himself, because they didn’t do anything about a double-lynching of a pregnant black woman and her brother in Camden NJ in 1905, as well as three other lynchings of blacks in other New Jersey towns at the time. A character addresses Woodrow Wilson saying
“These lynchings are common in the South, and the murderers never brought to justice, and now they have increased in New Jersey, there was a lynching in Zarephath only a year ago—where the ‘white supremacists’ have their own church—the Pillar of Fire—and in the Pine Barrens, and in Cape May …” [The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates, 2013, p. 14 (pdf) ]But in reality, there was no (0) lynching in Camden at that or any other time… let alone in Zarephath, the Pine Barrens, or Cape May.

This spring, Oates published a new collection of stories, High Crime Area: Tales of Darkness and Dread. In one, set in Detroit in 1967, the year of America’s worst race riot, a white woman senses herself being followed by a black man. However, the black man turns out to be an angel. As VDARE.com’s Fulford commented: “Here’s what it’s about—treating black crime as myth, and self-defense as paranoia.”
(Significantly, Oates and her husband, Raymond J. Smith, responded to the black Detroit riots by fleeing from the city to Ontario, Canada.)
This is not merely a literary point. If Oates’ new Detroit-set short story is taken seriously by her mostly female readers, it will lead to them lowering their guard around black men so as not to be seen as “racist.” Some of these white women will inevitably be raped and even murdered.
Oates poses as a feminist. Why, then, does she seek to get white women raped and murdered?
Once Oates did write about a real monster, or at least she was inspired by one. Her 1966 short story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?,” which was turned into the 1985 movie, Smooth Talk, was inspired by serial killer Charles Schmid Jr., the “Pied Piper of Tucson,” who strangled three teenaged girls in 1965.
Schmid was, of course, white.
This is the stuff of literary “giants” today—sowing seeds of paranoia in white females’ minds about white men, most of whom are no danger to them, while sowing seeds of trust in the same white female minds about black men, many of whom are extremely dangerous.
The simplest indicator of what Joyce Carol Oates is about, is in her dedication to The Accursed.
“for my husband and first reader, Charlie Gross; and for my dear friends Elaine Pagels and James Cone”Elaine Pagels is a controversial leftwing scholar of religion.
“If God is not for us and against white people,” writes Cone, “then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community.”[“Obama pastor’s theology: Destroy ‘the white enemy,’” World Net Daily, March 17, 2008.]
“who through her magnificent epic writing has—in the words of Alfred Nobel—been of very great benefit to humanity.”But the real explanation follows in the political section:
Deeply Involved in the Anti-Apartheid Struggle South African Nadine Gordimer wrote from an early age, and published her first story at 15. Her works comprise novels and short stories in which the consequences of apartheid form the central theme. Some of her books have at times been banned in her native country. She depicts extremely complicated personal and social relationships in her environment, putting the face of racism before the readers. The Nobel Prize in Literature 1991, Nadine Gordimer, nobelprize.org.]In short, Gordimer won the Nobel Prize for writing anti-white propaganda.
Prize motivation: “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality”Gave the Afro-American People Their History BackIn the case of West Indian black supremacist Derek Walcott, the Committee combined the platitudinous and the political:American author, editor and Professor Toni Morrison’s writing provide [sic] penetrating depictions of the world of the black people in America….
[The Nobel Prize in Literature 1993, Toni Morrison, nobelprize.org.]
Prize motivation: “for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment”The prize ought to be renamed the Nobel Prize in Propaganda.[The Nobel Prize in Literature 1992, Derek Walcott, nobelprize.org.]
Prize motivation: “for having united perceptive narrative and incorruptible scrutiny in works that compel us to see the presence of suppressed histories”Also in my opinion, the greatest Nobel laureates of all were T.S. Eliot and Rudyard Kipling. Here’s Eliot:[The Nobel Prize in Literature 2001, V. S. Naipaul, nobelprize.org.]
Prize motivation: “for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry”Short and sweet, eh?[The Nobel Prize in Literature 1948, Thomas Stearns Eliot, nobelprize.org.]
Prize motivation: “in consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author”[The Nobel Prize in Literature 1907, Rudyard Kipling, nobelprize.org.]
Rebecca Weiss was sexually assaulted and murdered on this spot on February 1, 2015. Rebecca was a student of Joyce Carol Oates at Princeton, and an avid reader of Prof. Oates’ works. Prof. Oates inspired Rebecca to become a teacher in Camden High School, helping underserved minority children. Although Rebecca was killed by one of her children, a boy who had otherwise been a gentle giant, she would not have wanted others to be discouraged from helping those most vulnerable and needy, or for anyone to blame the victims of racism for their occasional mistakes. Rebecca’s parents have since adopted the child, visit him constantly in prison, and have been fighting for him to be paroled.
