  • On this week’s episode of She Thinks, we consider crime rates across the country and ask the important question: “can law and order be restored in our cities?” Heather Mac Donald joins us to break down the data, explain why violent criminals are released back onto the street so quickly, and what, if any, are the solutions to combat the unsafe conditions many people are living in. We also discuss her recent book that looks at the importance of evaluating people on merit instead of race.
    Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor at City Journal, and the 2005 recipient of the Bradley Prize. Her work has covered a range of topics, from higher education and immigration to policing and race relations. She is the author of several critically acclaimed books, including her most recent, When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives.

    Heather can save us, I truly believe that. She has answers, not questions. Heather has been a scholar in social science for many many years. We need to listen to her, she knows her stuff! No doubt about that.

    Wealth does not trickle down, but lawlessness does. If there are going to be two different codes of justice then the strictest one should be for those who are sworn and well compensated to make and enforce the codes, and the more lenient one should be reserved for those of us who are not. End qualified immunity.

    I was appalled by this podcast. The data points presented were incomplete at least and inaccurate at best. The guest's comments seemed vitriolic and accusatory and came across to me as suggesting that criminality and being Black are synonymous. It especially bothered me that there was outright dismissal of any systemic factors that shape how crime unfolds in densely populated areas in favor of the age old and absurd argument that "Black on Black crime is the crux of the problem and Black folks need to get their houses in order". I was also disheartened by the tirade near the end of the podcast where the guest asserted that it is "game over" for white men because their merit is being overlooked in favor of the mediocrity that is offered by non-white candidates for positions in various fields. The irony of such comments being made on a podcast that purports to be a space for women was not lost on me. It is LUDICROUS that this kind of presentation passes as thoughtful discourse about how to address the myriad of issues that influence criminal behavior. "Discussions" like this are a concrete example of why I find it so challenging to take conservative media seriously.

      So what part of what she said is untrue? Just because the facts make you sad doesn’t make it any less true. Your missive is nothing more than spouting out the phrases you’ve heard from people who agree with your side and what the media tells you. The old “issues that influence criminal behavior” excuse, huh? We’ve thrown billions of dollars at this issue and provided more than enough “resources”. The only cause we haven’t examined and are forbidden from suggesting is black behavior. Behavior that is only encouraged and makes them feel entitled to do whatever they want, whenever they want. There are no consequences. Maybe some more midnight basketball would help?
