One Year Ago: Is Ditmas Park Blog Racist?

A year after our website was founded, the question still remains--is Ditmas Park Blog racist?

Although they have added one new contributor who is black, they still post stories about minorities robbing and raping. No matter how many times they post about a holiday church event or a black nanny rescuing someone's cell phone, the question still remains.

I think we all know the answer.

  1. This year, New York City may set a special record for crime.

    So far every NY City murder victim and every NY City murderer has been black or hispanic.

    No whites in either category. A record.

    The city will probably record about 500 murders, which is low, but not a record.

    When it comes to getting caught in the act, having security and surveillance cameras in more and more places is bad for blacks and hispanics. Every day the papers and other media venues post pictures of criminals at work. Guess who shows up almost every time?

  2. Even the NY Times admits blacks are more violent and prone to crime. As yesterday's article states, the most violent police precincts in the city are inhabited by blacks and hispanics, murdering, raping and robbing each other:

    New York City Crime Dips but Violent Crime Is Up

    Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, faced questions about the state of crime in New York City with what has become a familiar and welcome answer: Overall crime in the city is down again in 2010.

    When pressed, Mr. Kelly, to be fair, does not dodge the truth of the more disturbing numbers. “We have seen a spike in murders, rapes and robberies,” he acknowledged.

    Robbery is driving the citywide rise in violence. On a precinct level, the 75th Precinct in East New York, Brooklyn, was one of three in the city showing the highest increases in robberies. The others were the 103rd in Jamaica, Queens, and the 79th in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Citywide, robbery was up in four of the five boroughs, and in pockets of all of them.

    The police say teenager-on-teenager robbery is up in many places. It is hitting hardest in the Bronx, where an increase of 383 robberies, compared with the same period in 2009, accounted for almost half the citywide jump.

    Rapes were up 15 percent citywide and rose in every borough but Queens. The highest rape rates — those double or more the citywide per capita rate — cut two distinct swaths through the city, one across Harlem and into the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, and the other running southeast in Brooklyn from Bedford-Stuyvesant into East New York.

    Homicides hit 470 by Nov. 14, which was 67 more than in the same period last year. Their numbers increased the most in traditional danger zones, in the Bronx and northern Brooklyn, and new concentrations appeared in eastern Queens, where two precincts accounted for 20 percent of the city’s overall increase.

    A look at homicides per precinct shows that the 75th led the way, with 29. Next door in Brooklyn, the 73rd Precinct was on pace to log the highest rate of homicides per capita, for the fourth year running, with 2.6 homicides per 10,000 residents. The 25th Precinct, in East Harlem, saw the biggest raw number increase, to 10 from 2 last year. By contrast, eight precincts made it through mid-November with no homicides.
