Posting “National Review’s John Derbyshire Pens Racist Screed” relates:
A writer for the conservative National Review provoked outrage on Friday after penning a column that warned whites to “avoid large concentrations of blacks.”
“There is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too,” he writes, before listing some of the advice he gave his children about black people. They include:
(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving. … (more)
WATCHDOG: If in your heart of heart you would not give similar advice to your youngster and act accordingly, then you are qualified to judge John Derbyshire a racist.
