I guess you are correct that there is a lot of racism here and there. However, there is also a lot of rabid anti-racism. For example, you&#x27;ll never read an article in the mainstream press about how blacks, on average, have lower IQs than white people, although this clearly is relevant in the whole crime debate. Why are blacks more likely to commit crimes than whites? The IQ explains a lot, but mentioning it is taboo, it seems. What happened here in Alabama is of course horrible, but it seems unlikely that corrupt and racist cops is the whole explanation for the high crime rate among blacks elsewhere in the US.<p>This shouldn&#x27;t be necessary, but I probably need to point out that not every single black person has a lower intelligence than every single white person. It&#x27;s just the average. Some black individuals have higher IQs than some white individuals, of course. Which means that solutions like segregation&#x2F;apartheid are ham-fisted and totally unfair to these high IQ blacks.<p>For more info on the IQ and race thing, I recommend the book IQ and the Wealth of Nations by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen.
