Not knowing anything about this man, and only reading the article that 40's posted, it sure looks like a racist thing he said. I don't think he was saying we should abort black babies, but he appears to believe that the crime rate is derrived from blacks. I'm all for forgiving people for saying something stupid, that makes them appear to believe something they dont. (Lord knows I've done it a time or two in my life!) So maybe we should all give the guy a break on this one.

And I totally agree with JG's thought that crime rates are linked much more closely to socio-economic status than race.
