Alabama GOP Official Explains Racial Disparities In Schools: ‘Blacks Misbehave’

I found this article on a website called Think Progress (which exposes the radical Right-wing agenda - oh boy, now I'm really scared!), so you can imagine how they can play Black racism-twister like a professional. Nothing like the truth to get these people all riled up. The US DoJ Civil Rights division has been "evaluating" the Huntsville, Alabama school system (read: trying to blame racism as to why Blacks are not doing as well as White children in the district). They conclude that Black children are being punished and suspended at "alarming rates" in White schools. There are other findings that you'll find below. A GOP Executive Committee member, Mr Hugh McInnish, came out with a letter in response - stating that Blacks are more prone to violence than Whites and that's why Blacks are punished more. According to Think Progress, McInnish cites "bizarre" proof of his findings....no dear Think Progress - you only have to look at the adult Black male incarceration stats to know that McInnish isn't lying. On top of Think Progress being a tad bias towards the poor down-trodden Blacks, they rely on the fantastically racist Southern Poverty Law Center to damn McInnish's letter. Oh the irony. The SPLC is a tax funded "social justice" wankers club who are anti-White and their fearless leaders live in poverty mansions, cause don't you know, tax funded causes pays so well. Just love it! The SPLC just have to sniff out a hate crime and they're there, faster than flies on horse manure. And we have to accept their view on the letter? I don't think so...Oh, and do yourself a favor and link to the original article to read the comments as an eye opener.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division has been evaluating the Huntsville, AL school system’s racial integration, and earlier this month released a report that “wasn’t promising.” The DOJ listed “several outstanding desegregation issues that the school district must address,” including “that predominantly black schools have too few advanced courses” and “that black children at predominantly white schools are punished and suspended at alarming rates.”


But Hugh McInnish, a member of the Madison County Republican Executive Committee who also sits on the state Republican Executive Committee, set out to school the DOJ on the real reason racial disparities exist in Hunstville: “Life is unfair.” In a press conference at his gated community and a letter responding to the DOJ last week, McInnish offered a litany of bizarre “proof” that racial disparity isn’t “manmade,” claiming “blacks misbehave on average more frequently than whites do,” and that black students are unable to perform as well as white students. To McInnish, the only “manmade unfairness here” is that the DOJ wants to “correct a problem that is not of their making”:

McInnish went so far as to include in his letter a chart that purports to show the “black crime rate as (a) multiple of (the) white crime rate.” The chart indicates that black people commit more than six times the violent crime of white people overall; it has them committing about eight times as many murders as white people and more than 14 times as many robberies.[...]

McInnish also argued Tuesday that the gap between white and black students’ participation in advanced courses is not because black students are not afforded the chance, as alleged in the Justice Department letter.

Instead, he said, the gap exists because black students are not able to perform as well in advanced classes.

If the DOJ actually decides to peruse his letter, it will find that most of McInnish’s data is cribbed from the right-wing New Century Foundation (NCF), which, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, is a “self-styled think tank” that propagates “academic racism.” Dedicated “to the ideal of the United States as a white European nation,” NCF also publishes the American Renaissance — a magazine that “publishes frequent articles on the discredited field of eugenics” which is “selective breeding to improve human genetic stock.” Incidentally, the foundation’s “most important publication” is The Color Of Crime (which, to NCF, is black.)


If McInnish ever stepped out of his gated community, he might actually discover that there is absolutely no evidence that African American students “act out more” but rather that “suspension and expulsion is evidence of a pervasive and systematic bias” that’s been present “for the past 25 years.” But McInnish spends more time posting editorials on the white supremacist site VDare, and publishing the news aggregater Suppressed News which includes insightful comments like “Black on black racism is OK. White on black racism for the same reason is not. When are we going to wake up?”

McInnish won posts on the executive committees for both the county and state Republican parties in June but insists he “Was not speaking out as a representative of either group.” “Some of them will be aghast at what I’ve said,” he mused.
