Muslims and French prisons

About 60-70% of all inmates in France's prison system are Muslim though Muslims make up only about 12% of the country's population. In Britain, 11% of prisoners are Muslim in contrast to about 3% of all inhabitants. In the Netherlands, 20% of adult prisoners and 26% of all juvenile offenders are Muslim even though the country is about 5.5% Muslim. In Belgium, Muslims from Morocco and Turkey make up at least 16% of the prison population, compared with 2% of the general populace.

Immigration in Houston, Texas

Mississippi: According to the state Department of Health, nearly two-thirds of HIV/AIDS infections reported in 2007 were among African-Americans

Just under half of HIV/AIDS infections were reported in black women.

The situation is pretty bad in Iowa as well. Blacks are roughly 3% of Iowa's population, but accounted for 20% of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 2007. Overall, diagnoses among black persons were up 32% from 2006. African-Americans are 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS than are white, non-Hispanic persons in Iowa. Hispanics are also overrepresented among those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS - roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS than white, non-Hispanic Iowans. The group comprises roughly 4% of the state's population, yet accounts for 8% of the 2007 diagnoses.

The new apartheid

South Africans have replaced racial apartheid with class apartheid.

In Chicago, African-Americans have a near-monopoly on killing and being killed

When someone is murdered in Chicago, there is a 75% chance that he or she was black, a 77% chance that the killer was black, and a strong likelihood the murder took place in a poor community.

This type of violence is representative of a nationwide problem.

Grey squirrels in Scotland

Apparently, humans aren't the only creatures who have problems with immigrants.

Grey squirrels are now having problems with black mutants.

Crime in South Africa

United Nation statistics show that a South African child is six times more likely than the world average to die an unnatural death. South Africa women are five times more likely than the world average to die unnaturally, South African men, eight times. Rape is an especially awful problem in South Africa. While in most parts of the world, most rapes are non-violent (ie, no assault or torture involved) date rapes, in South Africa over 50% of rapes are violent. And more distressingly still, 40% of rapes involve girls under the age of 18. Guns are also often present when crimes are committed in South Africa. Sixty-two percent of murders in the county are gun murders, which is very high by global standards. In Australia, the percentage of gun murders is 16%, in the USA its 39%, in the UK its 8%, in Chile its 10%, and in India its 20%.

Al Gores support for ethanol has helped to create a global food crisis.

HIV/AIDS and unsafe sex in Africa

Thousands of people in Africa will be paid to avoid unsafe sex, under a groundbreaking World Bank-backed experiment aimed at halting the spread of HIV/AIDS. In spite of billions of dollars spent annually on treatment and prevention worldwide, there were over two million new HIV/AIDS infections in 2007, predominantly in Africa.

A new study has shown that people in India do not have natural or genetic protection against HIV/AIDS

A study by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has found that a known genetic marker against HIV-1 is virtually absent in Indians, implying lack of natural or genetic protection against HIV/AIDS.

Hostility between African immigrants and American blacks

It isn't just whites who are against immigration:

The small barren courtyard that separates the apartment buildings of Dwan Dillard and Mohamed Adin in Northwest Roanoke might as well be an ocean, so deep is the dislike that the American-born black woman and the Somali Bantu refugee have of each other.

"That out there is a war zone," said Dillard, whose four children live with her at Maple Grove Apartments, a blighted complex of four buildings with a total of 40 units on Pilot Street near Melrose Avenue. "The African children attack ours. They throw rocks."

Adin, who lives with his wife and nine children, blames "the Americans." Through an interpreter he said, "Day and night they throw rocks at our building. They yell at us. We are afraid. This isn't what we came to this country for."

Graffiti on the Maple Grove Apartments street sign read "Americans only," and "Africans not welcome."

The Catholic Diocese of Richmond's Refugee and Immigration Services office in Roanoke has been placing families from Africa and other countries in area apartments for years, with low rents being a key factor in settling them.

Maple Grove has been a favored destination for refugees from Somalia and other African nations since 2003, said Beth Lutjen, the agency's director. "They have become a community here," she said, walking around the complex Monday after receiving several complaints from her clients. "But now the tensions between the Africans and the American blacks have reached a crisis point."

Lutjen began searching for apartments elsewhere in Roanoke for the African refugees earlier this month, after Adin and other immigrants complained about the rock throwing and alleged that some of their children have been beaten by black American kids while waiting for the bus to nearby Westside Elementary School.

On Monday, the Africans kept 16 of their children home from Westside, Adin said. "We were afraid to let them go outside."

Is it still called racism when both sides are black?
