Why Bill Bennet's racist

( transcript from Bennet's radio show )

The reason Freakonomics posits for abortion == declining crime rate is that the women having abortions frequently have decided they can't be good parents. Why? They're young, poor, want to focus on their existing kids, et cetera. Does this mean they are black? No.

Bennet (and yes, this is a call-in show, so he's thinking on his feet) wanted an example of how targeted abortion could improve the crime rate. Did he think of poor women? Minors? Or, maybe...CRIMINALS? No. He thought of black women. When he thinks "crime rate", he thinks "blacks".

And THAT is the problem.
