Of course, the right-wingers will get defensive when we point out the obvious. That is, right-wing extremist religious zealots commit the most atrocious sex crimes against children. But since they don't like to accept these strong corelations, we will fill in the gaps as we have done so in the past.

Mr Bill,
I saw this link and it made me think of you site. Why is it that the news always shows peoples of color when they do storys on crimes? I meen the link above.
White peoples commit crimes just as much we do. But if a black man commit a crime his pitcher is on the front page.
Do you think this because the news is trying to make white people scared so they will be even more racist?
Thank you for your blog. We need a voice.

I tried to comment on your Wal-Mart post several days ago, but the comments section of the blog was not working.
I own a manufacturing company that supplies certain products to Wal-Mart and I don't understand all your Wal-mart bashing.
I run my business much the same way Wal-Mart runs their's. The labor that my company requires to make our products is just like any other comodity we require: electricity, fabric, aluminum fittings, what have you. We buy the labor from the suppliers (i.e. the workers) just like we buy everything else: We try to get the best product for the lowest price -- just like you do when you go shopping for a car or food or a house.
Some labor suppliers (i.e. workers) provide better products than others, so we are willing to pay more for them. For instance, we have a good number of no / low skills, no / low education, low motivation employees who are qualified to do nothing more than pack boxes for shipping. They are mostly black. We pay them something very near minimum wage. That's all they're worth and they're barely worth that. If minimum wage goes up, we will likely automate the packing process. Counting the initial cost of purchasing the machine and the expense of running it, maintenance etc., our bean counters figure it will cost about $250 per hour for automated packing. The machine can pack at the rate of 30 people. And we have no workers comp or unemployment to pay, no threats of discrimination lawsuits etc. So right now, people are the cheapest way to go, so that's what we use.
On the other hand, we have a number of highly skilled technical people: electricians, computer people, accountants etc. that are VERY well paid. $25 to $30 per hour is median. Machines cannot replace these people. They are, without exception, white or asian. Scour the hills as we might, we have never had an even marginally qualified minority person apply for any skilled job.
So what happens to my 30 or so packers when you raise minimum wage to $7.50? Adding in social security, unemployment, paid time off etc. its about $9 per hour. Why should I pay people $9 when a machine can do it for $8? Even if I kept the people on out of a sense of benevolence, if my competitor switched to automation, (and they would) I would have to do likewise or be forced out of business.
So you boycott Wal-Mart. What does that do to the number of low skilled people I can cost effectively hire?
Your intentions, I concede, are good: Raise everybody's standard of living. But you can't do it by legislating prosperity; i.e. raising minimum wage and setting an artificial floor on the price of labor.
Think about it.
The road to hell was paid with good intentions.
