Bennett's Freudian Slip...




I'd wanted to post this the other day but due to blogger maintaince I couldn’t and then I totally forgot about it. So here we go, better late than never….

On Sept 28th Former Education Secretary, former drug czar, and a talk show host, Bill Bennett, had a dumb blonde moment and he’s not even a blonde!
A big brouhaha was started when Bennett had a Freudian slip and lit a fire to his ass with cheap gas. Some right to life pseudo intellectual called in to Bennett’s show with a new anti-abortion argument. He was hoping to convince people that social security wouldn’t be in the mess it was in if “the lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30-something years, could fund Social Security." He felt that banning abortion would actually raise the GNP rate, and lower the deficit because these babies would grow up to be taxpayers.

Mr. Bennett attempting to be part of the cool crowd tried to bitch slap the caller with a healthy dose of sarcasm. It was a feeble attempt and one that backfired on his ass. Mr. Bennett proposed "far-reaching, extensive extrapolations" by declaring that if "you wanted to reduce crime ... if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." Bennett conceded that aborting all African-American babies "would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do," then added again, "but the crime rate would go down.” Yup he done said that and after that all hell done broke loose. Click here and listen for yourself

Notice how morally reprehensible came last... shouldn't that have been the first thing ? Bennett's Freudian slip um I mean remark was inspired by the claim that legalized abortion has reduced crime rates, which was posited in the book Freakonomics (William Morrow, May 2005). The authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, argued that aborted fetuses would have been more likely to grow up poor and in single-parent or teenage-parent households and therefore more likely to commit crimes; they didn’t put forth Bennett's race-based argument. He did that allll on his own.

After letting the cat outta the bag Bennett felt the need to go on a national rampage to explain his Freudian slip and disprove that he‘s a racist.
Witness the following from an interview with Alan Colmes on “Hannity & Colmes: “I said, arguments in which you take something that's far out, like the GNP and try to connect it up with abortion are tricky. I said make the case of abortion on the basis of life and protecting life. I said abortion is invoked in another way; you could make an argument that if you wanted to lower the crime rate, you saw the quote; you could practice abortion in very large numbers. You could do it in the black community; you could do it in other places. This is, by the way, the subject of a book for economics by a professor at Yale.” ( For the love of licorice whips Bill STFU you’re just digging yourself into a deeper hole. ) Wow nice to know a Yale professor is writing a book on how to lower crime by aborting a certain sector of the population. What next a handbook on how to eliminate terrorism by aborting Arab fetuses that may grow up to be radical Muslims?

Bennett and Hannity then went on to discuss what was perceived as the root cause of crime poverty and black on black violence it was an interesting interview. I suggest you read it for yourself.


After hearing about Bennett’s interview a few of my friends and I discussed the context of what was said and how it could be interpreted by different groups in this country. We felt that the KKK would love it because aborting black fetuses would ensure that whites would rule the roost once again in terms of racial purification. Then of course there’s the bonus that aborted blacks rarely if ever committed crimes, against living white people.

The down side is that sports would suffer greatly. Whites own hockey and we Latinos have baseball practically sewed up, but what about football and basketball? Can these 2 sports survive Bennett’s sarcastic proposal of aborting black babies and what about all them silicone enhanced white sports groupies? Has anyone thought of the ill effect this would have on them? The potential loss of these potential young black brothers could potentially cripple our economy! The diamond trade here in NYC would go bonkers. Jewelers would be dropping like flies all over the diamond district. I know Jacob The Jeweler would be hard hit he’s not just about rappers some of his bread and butter comes from our over paid black athletes and the wives they cheat on with the white sports groupies.

Note to Bennett: Bill babe sarcasm doesn’t work for you. Leave it to the professionals. You have to know how to work it properly. Wtf, who do you think you are, me?! Sarcastic wit is an inherited trait you just can’t buy it off of e-bay. For the love of crunk juice you could’ve cause some serious damage with your Freudian slips errr I mean sarcasm.
