* What was true in 1958
is still true today ! It's
just covered up by the
media now.
THE NEGRO CRIME
RATE: A FAILURE
IN INTEGRATION
mayors groan in private that their biggest and most worrisome
problem is the crime rate among Negroes.
In 1,551 U.S. cities, according to the FBI tally for 1956, Negroes, making
up 10% of the U.S. population, accounted for about 30% of all arrests, and
60% of the arrests for crimes involving violence or threat of bodily harm—
murder, non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated
assault. In one city after another, the figures—where they are not
hidden or suppressed by politicians—reveal a shocking pattern. Items:
New York (14% Negro). Of the prisoners confined in houses of detention
last year to await court disposition of their cases, 44% of the males and
65% of the females were Negroes.
Chicago (15% Negro). In 1956 twice as many Negroes as whites—1,366
to 679—were arrested on charges of murder, non-negligent manslaughter,
rape and robbery.
Detroit (25% Negro). Two out of three prisoners held in the Wayne County
jail are Negroes. Last month 62% of. the defendants presented for trial in
Recorder's Court were Negroes. Of last year's 25,216 arrests resulting in
prosecution, excluding traffic cases, Negroes accounted for 12,919.
Los Angeles (13% Negro). In 1956 Negroes accounted for 28% of all
arrests, and 48% of the arrests for homicide, rape, aggravated assault,
robbery, burglary, larceny and auto theft.
San Francisco (7% Negro). The victims in 896 of last year's 1,564
recorded robbery cases reported that the assailants were Negroes.
The same excuse they use 50 years later -
statistics wildly distort the comparative incidence of
crime among Negroes and whites because cops are more
likely to arrest Negroes for petty crimes or on mere
suspicion. Protests Executive Editor Charles Wartman of
Detroit's Michigan Chronicle, a Negro weekly: "The number
of Negroes booked is at least partially indicative of
subconscious if not conscious racial persecution on the
part of police officers."
