link  NYPD Warns Women About Skirts in Brooklyn Sex Attack Probe | NBC New York.

Interesting that we’ve yet to hear from national human rights groups protesting about this NYPD warning.  Sure, the expected bit of chirping has come from the local organizations,  but the mentality of stupidity of the NYPD’s warning is not fully appreciated by most readers.

It’s a certainty that they think they are doing women a public service by warning them not to dress in a certain way.  While there are certainly women out there that make Britney Spears dressed for a night on the town look like a nun, a google search fails to find any instances of women in short skirts or shorts committing regular acts of crime, violent or otherwise.  Oddly, we don’t see news stories of roving bands of women in short skirts terrorizing neighborhoods.

On the other hand, countless surveillance videos at 7-11’s, shopping malls, train stations, night clubs and parking lots show that people wearing hoodies and or baseball caps are over represented in the committing of violent crimes and robbery.  Wouldn’t it make more sense to ban people wearing such clothing, or at least warn them that such attire will cause them to be harassed by police?

The rights of potential perps have long ago surpassed the rights of victims in the perverse world of political correctness. This is but an egregious example of how extreme it has gone.   Rather than focus on discouraging the activities of those that exhibit anti-social and criminal behavior, liberal apologists instead would rather curtail the activities of law abiding citizens.  We are asked to purchase all sorts of personal and property security as well as pay usurious insurance rates rather than sufficiently deter and punish criminals.

We are hit on the head constantly with the old chestnut about not being able to tell a book by its cover, but that sentiment is more the exception than the rule in real life.  In the animal world, survival depends on being able to distinguish friend from foe with very simple visual cues.  Lamb= friend, lion, not so much.  It’s possible there there once existed animals congenitally programmed with curiosity to approach obvious predators.  But they are extinct.

In the much more highly evolved human societies, we are conditioned to ignore obvious danger cues from our surroundings on the premise that ‘the law’ will protect us from harm.  This would not be an issue except for the fact that those with such misguided notions often wind up in political office and such errant beliefs are imposed on an otherwise sane public.  In the animal world, they would simply be eaten.

The NYPD have it all wrong.  The philosophy should be to make life miserable for the perps, not the regular folk.  Pick on the guys wearing hoodies in summer, sideways ball caps and baggy jeans.   Heck, we’d be better off if everyone wore short skirts.  That would make it easy for them to pick out the perps from the crowd.   Maybe the Scots had something….

More idiocy masking as objectivity.  The ill advised policies of political correctness actively pursued by liberal sensibilities are fast becoming caricatures of stupidity.  In the animal world, only the highly advanced humans would ignore the most basic tenets of survival.  The natural equivalent of all of this politically correct nonsense would be if Wildebeest were to blithely frolic about while all around them lions began to gather. This is fantasy, we would never see this because Wildebeest are not that stupid.

In the human world, thanks to moronic notions of fairness, people are asked to literally turn a blind eye to the nefarious elements of society.  Apparently, the label of racist is the most heinous of all things one can be accused of, more to be avoided than other sundry labels such as, oh let’s say, murderer, child molester, or Internet creep.  We know this thanks to the exploits of Fidel Castro, Roman Polanski and of course recently, Anthony Weiner.  Because of this mentality, we have an entire expensive and cumbersome bureaucracy dedicated to making life miserable for the travelling public at airports including the prototypical Swedish grandmothers and nursing infants.  Rather than scrutinize the segment of society that has historically been most at risk to cause grief and mayhem to innocents, why not be inclusive and give the Mexican prisoner treatment to everyone? This despite the fact that troublemakers tend to have distinct characteristics of appearance and background.

The non-reporting of all the facts that pertain to the rash of mob attacks in many US cities, but in particular as depicted by this Chicago paper is fomenting the same type of willful stupidity.  If the ‘kids’ involved in the mob attacks are not only generally, but almost exclusively black, wouldn’t that be germane to the story?  When the Tribune reports that packs of ‘kids’ were attacking innocent civilians, are the readers supposed to imagine a gaggle of Richie Cunninghams mobbing them?  What if you had to fill out a police report?

“Well, let’s see, there were 7 or 8 of them…they were young… all had arms…some had hair….”

“Any other distinguishing characteristics? Hair color, race perhaps?”

“Oh no, we didn’t notice whether they were all black kids wearing baseball caps askew,  baggy pants  and speaking Ebonics or not, no sir, none of that occurred to us because we’re not racists at all, no sirree…”

The whole charade is farcical.  For some to pretend that racial issues don’t exist and that those dynamics don’t come into normal social interaction is ostrich behaviour at its best.  When the current President of the United States is elected into office coming out of nowhere, with no executive experience, no history of legislative achievements and with a closet full of sketchy collaborators, there is no explanation for it other than the naked truth.  He was elected because he was black.  Given similar qualifications, no other person would have been elected if they didn’t have the racial advantage.  If fact, much has been made of this milestone in American history.  This achievement has been endlessly trumpeted by the liberal left as proof of society’s evolution.  The only thing this has really proved however is that a black president can be just as incompetent as a white president.  But hey,  at least they were inclusive.  The policies and results derived from Obama’s time in office would never be tolerated by the public and media if he were not black.  In fact, any criticism of his agenda is construed as a racist attack.

Nevertheless, Obama proves that people of color can achieve high office and indeed THE highest office, so the on going arguments for politically correct sensibilities are outdated.  The old chestnut of the disadvantaged inner city black youth has less validity.  The  achievements of Obama, of Oprah, of Condaleeza Rice, of Colin Powell, although exceptions, prove that the possibility for great success exists for black people and that resorting to anti social, criminal lifestyles is an option, not a destiny.

The delusion of the left over the foibles of people of any color perpetuates the segmentation of people and prevents true equality in society.  It’s unclear to me why people should be regarded as one big homogeneous glop.   It is an affront to rational thinking.  Stupidity and brilliance are present in all peoples and as such, instances of both should be pointed out, especially by an ‘objective’ media.  Those that ignore this are the true racists.
