This is one of the most widely linked posts I have ever written. I am reposting it now because a lot of you may never have read it. Unfortunately, a lot of the people reposting it White Supremacists, White Nationalists and White anti-Black racists. They do this because Blacks and White liberals often toss out this notion that Whites are more likely to molest children than Blacks are. It probably isn’t true, but I would not mind if it was. It might be nice if we could commit at least one crime more than the Blacks do. But it appears that the Blacks outshine us in this crime also. In fact, for 99% of crimes, Blacks commit more of them than Whites do.
I fail to understand what we were supposed to do about it anyway even if Whites were more likely to molest kids than Blacks. I mean, I’m going to avoid living in White neighborhoods for fear of my kids being molested? Why would I do that? And go live where? In a Black neighborhood? In an Hispanic neighborhood? Those would be better somehow? It’s ridiculous.
I’ve also been creamed from here to Kingdom Come for writing this article, mostly by White liberals. Generally, they have called me a White Supremacist or White nationalist or White racist, apparently just for daring to write this article. The truth has been racist for some time now, and this is simply one more case of the darned racist truth. If the truth is racist, then I will still tell the truth.
For those of you who have already read the article, I did add some new data to the piece.
There is a long-standing myth perpetrated by Blacks and White anti-racists like Tim Wise that Whites are more likely to molest children than any other race. This goes back to some stereotype of the creepy, nerdy, weirdo White guy who can’t get laid so he molests kids.
About time we shot this myth full of holes like it needs to be.
First of all, let’s look at child abuse in general, including sexual and all other types of abuse.
Stats:
% of total child abusers: White 51% African American 25% Hispanic 15% American Indian/Alaska Natives 2% Asian/Pacific Islanders 1%
Relative to their population, likelihood of child abuse compared to background population rate:
American Indian +100% Blacks +92% Hispanics no difference Whites -35% Asian -67%
On an individual basis, American Indians are most likely to abuse a child in some way or other, then Blacks, then Hispanics, then Whites, then Asians.
The high Amerindian rate is probably due to the utterly collapsed nature of Amerindian families and societies as a whole. The high Black rate is because, well, Blacks have elevated rates of most crimes compared to Whites, Hispanics, Asians and Amerindians. Low Asian rate is probably because across almost all crime stats, Asians typically have the lowest rates of them all.
As you can see, not only are Whites less likely to abuse kids than Blacks, they have one of the lowest child abuse rates of any ethnic group in the US, surpassed only by Asians.
The argument that Whites are more likely to molest children uses these statistics:
Those inmates who were convicted of committing violent acts against children were more like to have been White, a percentage of nearly 70%, than any other race.
The figure is from the Bureau of Prisons, 1991. In 1991, Whites were 74% of the population, and they were “nearly 70% of those convicted of child molesting.” In other words, Whites are about 7% less likely to commit child molestation than an average American.
The problem with the 1991 report was that, as usual, Hispanics were lumped in with Whites in terms of crime perpetrators, artificially inflating the White rate. The 1994 Justice Department report finally disaggregates Whites from Hispanics. The results, % of total child molesters by race:
Whites 54.1% Hispanics 23.5% Blacks 20.7% Other 1.7%
Now compare to their presence in the general population for likelihood of being a child molester as opposed to an average American:
Hispanics +96% Blacks +59% Whites -35% Other -58%
This lines up with anecdotal reports of high rates of sex crimes in areas overrun with illegal aliens from Mesoamerica.
The myth lies shattered.
Hispanics are 2.3 X (135%) more likely to molest children than Whites.
Blacks are 85% more likely to molest children than Whites.
Additional evidence comes from child abuse reports which were reported to authorities, which honestly are better because excellent anecdotal evidence from Black websites and interviews with Black women who grew up in the ghetto inform us that sexual abuse of girls is rampant in the ghetto. Some of the women even say things like, “All girls are molested in the ghetto.” However, in the ghetto, sexual abuse of girls is considered so shameful that it may not even be discussed, and hence is seldom reported and there are few arrests. The whole affair is covered up with massive denial. This rings quite true with me as pathology of all sorts is elevated in ghettos, so why would child sexual abuse not be so.
This may also explain the relatively high percentage of White men imprisoned for this crime since White men who commit this crime are much more likely to be arrested and Black men often just get away with it and are never caught. So victimization surveys ought to clear this up for us.
According to this study at The Root (Drake et al 2011), Black children are reported to authorities for all types of abuse 75% than White children are. For sexual abuse, Black children are reported to authorities 26% more than White children are. Interestingly, Hispanic children are 14% less likely than White children to be reported for sexual abuse. It is interesting to note that the study only compared children from from 2 parent families. If we included Black women from single parent families, the rates might be even higher.
Black children are 26% more likely to be reported to authorities for child sexual abuse than White children are.
Where did the myth come from? It’s not certain, but for most crimes, especially violent crimes, Blacks have rates that are up to 6-9 times higher than Whites. For child molestation, these wildly elevated rates for Blacks are not seen; instead, the Black rate is close to double the White rate, not 6-9 times higher. So in child molestation, Whites much more approach parity with Black crime rates. This greatly increased White rate vis a vis Blacks compared to other crimes may have given rise to the illusion that Whites are more likely than Blacks to commit this crime.
