‘Stay Out of Heavily Black Neighborhoods’: National Review Writer Under Fire for Racial Column

John Derbyshire is under fire for a controversial column about the lessons parents should teach their children about black people. (Image source: National Review)
National Review writer John Derbyshire is under fire for a column essentially urging white parents to talk to their children about staying away from black people they don’t know.
“The Talk: Nonblack Version” is a breakdown of the lessons Derbyshire says he’s taught his children about race, similar to “the talk” or “the code” many black parents have spoken of having with their children in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death.
Derbyshire’s column, published Thursday in Taki’s Magazine, states that “many traits are very different for black and white Americans,“ such as ”school disciplinary measures, political corruption and criminal convictions.”
There is “a small cohort of blacks” — Derbyshire estimates 5 percent — that is “ferociously hostile to whites” and a larger number that will “go along passively if the 5 percent take leadership in some event.”
“They will do this out of racial solidarity, the natural willingness of most human beings to be led, and a vague feeling that whites have it coming,” he wrote.
But the portion of his column that appears to have drawn most of the outrage are the following “common sense” items:
(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.
Derbyshire told ThinkProgress the piece was not meant as satire but “social commentary.” Calls are building for his firing from National Review, which has distanced itself from the piece. In a brief online post late Friday, National Review editor Rich Lowry described it as “appalling” but did not say whether Derbyshire would be fired.
“Needless to say, no one at National Review shares Derb’s appalling view of what parents supposedly should tell their kids about blacks in this instantly notorious piece here,” Lowry wrote.
National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg wrote Friday evening on Twitter he found Derbyshire’s column, “fundamentally indefensible and offensive. I wish he hadn’t written it.”
In a follow-up tweet, Goldberg said no one at National Review saw the piece before it was published in Taki’s Magazine.
UPDATE:
National Review has since fired John Derbyshire. See the full article here.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 9:23amThe author is correct and offers good advice. It is as simple as that. Blacks do NOT want equal rights, they want the white man to pay for every thing that has been done to them since the birth of time. It is that simple.
This does not only apply to black neighborhoods. If Zimmerman were not half hispanic, things would be worse.
The guy is dead on correct in what he says and the double standard that whites cant feel the same as blacks is evident in the link within the article. It sucks to say, buthe author is likely going to save lives if people listen to him.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 9:35amDoomed. This is why we will never come through the other end of this tunnel we’ve been in as long as I remember. There will be no peace or unity as long as this mentality exists. Similar pieces have been written by black writers, god black faces have been on the news all week discussing the supposed “talk” all black parents simply must have with their children. How dangerous the world can be for them. Funny, they all said the talk was about how people will perceive them… and how dangerous it could be walking around a white neighborhood because of those evil racists.. I mean, you read about it daily don’t you? Gangs of roving whites trolling their gated communities hunting for young blacks boys to kill. No one calls them out, no one dares. No one just points to the numbers. If you can’t state an absolute fact out loud then there is no hope at all. We all live by exactly what the author wrote down, including most bloody black folks I know.. But, here in Amerika we have an official protected species. It’s over because even the so called conservatives are afraid of backlash, or they‘ve lived with our newspeak so long it’s become second nature. I‘m supposed to listen intently while some vapid talking head speaks seriously about how she’s afraid her son will stumble into an all white neighborhood, and how she has to educate him about the horrors that he might encounter? So effin sick of this idiocy..

This has been taught again & again in the US and abroad…with its most recent beginnings rooted in the Rodney King Simi Valley trial.
Since then, they have taken a page from the playbook of “flash mobs” which are just fun activities, and polluted them into crime sprees based on fictitious anger over “racial injustices” in order to harm non-blacks in cowardly ways or just steal whatever is not nailed down.

You can encourage your 16 year old daughter to go into those BAD neighborhoods at 11:30 at night and she will return raped drugged or dead. Or you can tell her the truth. Just don’t write a column in any newspaper about it because the people in the BAD neighborhoods will call you RACIEST because they are embarrassed about the truth.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 10:11amIt’s a shame, that political correctness has so warped the sense of reality in this country, that common sense cannot be spoken by whites, without them immediately being labeled as racists or hate mongers. The truth is, blacks do commit much more crime than whites do, and they are much more likely to target whites when they do.
Also, we have Muslims who we cannot speak ill about, because it might damage this contrived fantasy that they are all a peace loving people who do nothing to deserve all the “discrimination” that is heaped upon them. The fact is, they are people who are arrogant in their superiority and mostly do not assimilate into a community where they relocate to, and they are members of a religion that commands them to destroy rather than tolerate others that are not like them.
I don’t fancy myself to be a “racist”, but the fact is, that you are encouraged to be proud of your ethnicity if you are any other color than white. We have clubs, organizations, government programs, hiring preferences, scholarships, tv programs, etc., etc., all specifically for non-whites, yet if there is ever even the suggestion that any of those things should be created for whites, then that person is immediately vilified as a “racist”. Folks, enough with the white guilt, be proud of who you are and stop letting others rule your life and your self-respect as a person, simply because of the color of your skin…..*hint*….despite what the world will tell you, that is

It is just this kind of thinking that fosters racial hate for all blacks. Instead of pointing out the obvious we try to sweep it under the rug and pretend it is not true.
When in fact if you are white and are venturing into a black neighborhood today you stand a good chance of getting your azz kicked or worse!

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 10:35amI‘ve broken every one of those rules and I’m still alive.
People will say these rules are common sense to stay safe, but there are far more important things to consider than race if you want to identify which situations are safe and which are dangerous — whether you know and/or have friends in the community, the time of day, the way people are looking at and treating you, evidence of criminal activity and so forth.
The assumption behind using race as a proxy is the perceived likelihood of being the victim of a violent crime where the perpetrator is black. In fact, the chance of being the victim of a violent crime by ANY perpetrator is quite low: about a half of one percent (430/100,000).
There are other reasons for the proxy of race: people who live in relatively segregated areas might well not have friends in or knowledge of communities where different races live. In this sense, race becomes connected to a legitimate factor: being in an unknown place where you don’t know the “rules.” However, the frustration here is that if individuals had connections in those communities they wouldn’t find them dangerous. This is one of the ways that racial bias perpetuates.
The fact is that everyone knows there are certain dangerous parts of their community. There are other parts that are not dangerous where the majority of inhabitants are black. The offensive element of this article is the unwarranted equation of black = dangerous.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 11:43am@Ottknot No, it’s not a fact than an all-white neighborhood is safer than an all-black one. It’s a statistical likelihood, but the relevant factor isn’t race, it’s *poverty*. Among the many frustrations I have with this article and the responses to it is that if we really wanted to keep our kids safe and give them important information even if it’s “politically incorrect,” we wouldn’t be talking about race, we’d be talking about class. “Stay out of poor neighborhoods and away from poor people” is, statistically, better advice than “stay out of black neighborhoods and away from black people.”
And unlike with race, we can talk directly about why poverty might lead to crime. Poor areas receive less services and have less community resources overall, have more transient populations and so on.
Not that “stay away from poor people” is good advice, but it’s *better*, if you’re talking statistics, than “stay away from black people.” The best advice, I think, invites your kids to have situational awareness and to follow their gut.
Shoot. I’d like to write more about this but my daughter just woke up from her nap. Thanks for your comments. I’ll think about them.

If you are so pc as to ignore the reality then there is nothing that can save you. If the nation continues to choose political corectness over bringing actions of vile human beings into the light of day then the black population is in a death spiral. We all know that most blacks are not violent, but those folks are at the mercy of the violent ones and unless the nation stands up and speaks the truth it will only get worse. When a violent white person is found you don’t see whites stepping up and defending them because of the color of their skin, this attitude only exists in minority populations and primarily black populations.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 12:04pmThis article says straight out what people have known and talked about indirectly for a long time. Anyone remember “Bonfire of The Vanities”? The article is no more insulting to the “Other” than the “The Talk” that Black parents give their children, discussion of which prompted Derbyshire to write this article. It is based on statistical probabilities, which are pretty unassailable. That doesn’t mean that, in individual dealings with people, no matter what color, we should treat all equally and fairly, and judge them by their character, not the color of their skin.
We hear the Left talk about the courage required to “speak truth to power” all the time, in situations where no courage is required at all. We may have just witnessed an actual example of that courage.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 12:40pmI blame the black leadership in America (I’m looking at you Rev. Jackson and you Al Sharpton). They are so quick to defend bad behavior and somehow blame it on whites that this is what it comes to. They don‘t care about anything they can’t attach their name to. People cause trouble for themselves so maybe if the black community was more outspoken about responsible behavior in their youths we wouldn’t be so polarized. Obviously it’s not all. Every black person I know has the same ideals as anyone else because that is what their Moms AND Dads taught them. It’s no wonder that people come up we these rules for survival even if it does sound racist to others.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 1:43pmActually Liberal Teacher, you’re wrong about the difference being poverty rather than race. I wouldn’t hesitate to say that a poor white neighborhood is a LOT safer to walk through at night than a poor black neighborhood. Now there are poor black neighborhoods that are safe like the one that barricaded its streets with cars and lit them with car batteries to keep the looters away following Katrina. If you look at the facts, blacks are predominately more inclined to commit violent crimes than whites. It’s not really as much a race thing as it is a cultural thing that has developed over the last 50 years. I made the mistake of buying a home in a poor minority (black and hispanic) neighborhood in Phoenix. Even with a 6 ft chain link fence around my yard, I had repeated thefts including including having an outside storage building broken into 3 times, a large gas grill stolen from my patio and my mountain bike stolen despite having it attached to the house with a cable lock. All of the thefts occurred in BROAD daylight, including the bike being stolen ON CHRISTMAS DAY while I was having lunch at a friend’s house. The ADT sign in my front yard, my large pit bull, and the sight of me walking in the door carrying a variety of firearms on a number of occasions is probably the only reason why no attempts were made to burglarize the place while I was home.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 3:47pmBack in 1985, my wife, our daughter and I were in Oklahoma City going to see what the capitol of the city was like, just curious. We took an off ramp we shouldn’t have taken and found ourselves in an all black neighborhood. We were not concerned about it, didn’t have any reason at all to be concerned. until we found out that the road we were on was one that had no outlet and the people in the neighborhood had to be calling each other because by the time we figured we had to turn around to get back to the highway,, the houses started emptying out… black people were coming out of the houses around where we were, picking up stuff off the ground, one had a baseball bat. We only lost our way and wanted to go back to the highway and found ourselves in what we considered a life threatening situation. My wife started freaking out and I got the car turned around as fast as I could and we got the h*ll out of there. I can guarantee that a black family that got lost in a white neighborhood would NOT fear for their lives the way we did. White neighbors would not have come out of their houses and threatened ANY driver. I am not making any of this up!! This happened. From that moment on I have been careful of the places I drive in any big cities. I have never had any kind of prejudice against any other people. I consider us all one race, the HUMAN race!. But after that experience I had to teach my children to consider their safety. If that is teaching prejudice against blacks, so be it

Report Post »“shilling for minorities to buy votes ”,
That gives me an idea. The 15 ways for a conservative candidate to win votes:
1. Say the word “liberal” at least five times in any given speech.
2. Make plenty of references to the “mainstream media”, and how you don’t care for it.
3. Use the term “the American people” a lot.
4. Mention how you’re “trying to win the country back”.
5. If being questioned by and interviewer/debate host, as some point become outraged by something they say (or something they don’t say, it doesn’t matter) and take them to task.
6. Mention God no less than three times.
7. Mention your family at least once. This lets people know that you have “family values”. The fact that you cheated on numerous wives makes no difference.
8. Tell people that Obama “just doesn’t get it”.
9. Make references to your business experience, even if that experience was acting as a vulture preying on weak companies for a profit.
10. Salute our troops, the same troops you plan to send to their deaths in another pointless war.
11. Mention your love of hunting.
12. Vilify science, and intelligence in general, because learning is for snobs.
13. Portray yourself as a “Washington outsider”, even if you’ve been in politics for decades.
14. Glorify death. (e.g. people without insurance should be left to die, the death penalty is great) Because that’s what Jesus would do.
15. Two words: abortion and gays. Vilify them, too.

My son and his wife almost got car jacked less than a mile outside a military base. They were stopped at a light (going for a bite to eat after a late shift) and two guys approached the car.
At first they were “casually” just crossing the street (my son’s military radar was going off so he was watching them carefully) but then they started to approach the driver-side window and drew a gun.
He immediately floored the gas pedal of the car (it has a V8 engine, good thing they weren’t in a Pruis or Volt) through the intersection against the red light and away up the road. They didn’t stop at again the rest of the way until they were back on base.
They both learned a lesson that night, and my son has told his wife NEVER to go off base after dark without him. After that incident, she didn’t argue with him.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 9:26amYou will not see the stickers of rentals in notorious cities and I think Fla has a code for such now. I peel the Enterprise stickers off often, now. And the shooters if I remember were crack heads of the darker persuation- as it is racist to point out the color to Doggy as he is running over with white guilt; being in W Tejas, it is easy to do. Go take the family to DC and take a day to enjoy the sites off of the mall area Doggy. How is Houston doing after all the refugees from NO got their turf and props straight? All krackers right? Visit Baltimore and take a day to visit the environs off of the harbor area. Won’t bring up Philly, Trenton, Pburg, or any other dark lib ville close by to make a point. Different world than what you’re used to man. Sorry if calling a spade upsets you- ax Gonzo about parts of the lovely city of peach trees. Get Kevlar blankets for the fam before you do these tours though. You are a bit like our educators right now-if you don’t look them in the eye or call them out, then maybe it will change? How is that working for us right now Doggy? We are post racial right? NO issues here, let’s go play lotto and watch American Idle some more and pass the mac and chee. Uh huh.

If we don’t start talking about how it is as apposed to saying the right thing in order to give an appropriate perception we go no where. And our long slow decline continues. We’ve become a nation of bystanders, excuse makers and cowards. I’m just old enough to have witnessed what i think is a tragic decline in the black community. Thug life has become an idealized vision, for the love of god it’s what young black men aspire to be! And we look the other way, nothing to see here. Wouldn’t want to be perceived as racists. See how enlightened I am, my kids listen to rap music!! Sure, most of it speaks to violence, hatred or thuggery… But I’m no racists. If I were black I would be having a “talk” with my kids as well. My “talk” would be outrage at a society that has such low expectations for one specific race. My “talk” would educate my kids as to why they will be looked at suspiciously if they wander into an all white neighborhood. There would be lots of anger. Most of it directed at white folks who for years have been allowing the black community to spiral ever further into degradation all the while screeching racist at anyone that dares point that fact out.

Posted on April 7, 2012 at 8:23amThis is really hitting a nerve with me. We live in a mostly white neighborhood, and I would not have EVER told my kids that, in fact, I have told them to judge every person they meet individually. Accept everyone you meet as good, and then decide if they can keep that status. But lately, I have notice even that Blacks that I work with have been becomming increasingly hostile. These are good people that I have known for a long time and consider them friends. Now if you bring up ANYTHING conservative, they all flip out except for 2 of them, who are very religious. I feel like I never knew these other folks. These folks are in the same area I live in, at the same company and doing the same job, but somehow they feel that they are getting screwed.

” But lately, I have notice even that Blacks that I work with have been becomming increasingly hostile. These are good people that I have known for a long time and consider them friends”
Same here. And when I shared the same point with a friend who lived in New Orleans his whole life said that he had very close freinds who were black that HE and his family were very, VERY close to and as soon as Katria came through they all turned on him and robbed his home (he is or was very law abiding and gave up his guns, much to his regret, when the city police came to get them)
He said that his “friends” changed so quick that they were in his house and he was trying to help them when he realized what was happening.
The look in his eyes when he was telling me this was alarming. He just warned me- “never, ever forget this because if things get bad again and you are near you best freind who happens to be black, you are getting a knife in your back” What is funny is that we have worked together since he relocated after Katrina and he never told me this until the Trayvon case. He said it was the same animal blood lust we are seeing now.
He will never have to tell me twice.
