The Rise Of Raceless Police Suspect Sketches

Everyday when you watch the news you will see examples of this.

In 1946, http://www.vdare.com/fulford/070207_fulford_file.htm with proto-Political Correctness.

As is so often the case, eventually the rest of the press embraced the Times’ vice—to the point where “not reporting race” is now a major VDARE.com blog category.

Some years ago, the press extended its refusal to describe “black” perpetrators to Hispanic ones. And when one media outlet failed to toe the line, and made the PC error of trying to help protect the public from heinous criminals such as Arizona’s “Chandler Rapist,” Spanish-language radio outfit New Radio Venture/KMYL (1190 AM) demanded that it cease and desist.

(On March 1, illegal immigrant Santana Batiz-Aceves, aka Ricardo Ramirez Lopez, aka Chaparro , aka Shorty, whose history included two deportations following drug arrests, pleaded guilty to raping five girls between 12 and 15 years of age, and was sentenced to 168 years in prison—no thanks to Hispanic chauvinist and New Radio Venture VP Mayra Nieves who had asked the police not to describe the  attacker as Hispanic.)
Periodically, I check into who exactly is responsible for not reporting an assailant’s race. Usually, the police will give the full description they received from victims and/or witnesses, and the newspaper or TV news censors it. For example, this was the pattern in Seattle’s “Tuba Man” and James Paroline racial murders and with the Choral Society of Durham, NC burglar.

Until now, the only time that I have been able to catch police deliberately misleading the public about an as yet unsolved black-on-white crime was in the case of the racist, black homosexual Baytown, TX serial kidnapper-rapist.

Baytown PD Lt. Richard Whitaker claimed that there was no profile common to the victims—when in fact he knew that the kidnapper-rapist (the since convicted and imprisoned Keith Hill) was targeting smallish, frail-looking white men between 18 and 21 years of age, who were living at home with their parents, and whom he would stalk for weeks at a time.

Which brings us to the June 4 robbery and rape that were allegedly committed in Charlotte, North Carolina, and reported later that day on the Charlotte Observer’s Web site. [Woman robbed, sexually assaulted in residence by Steve Lyttle and Cleve R. Wootson Jr., Charlotte Observer, June 4, 2010.

The story, which suggested that the rape had accompanied a rip-off of drug dealers, was accompanied by three revolving composite police sketches of the assailants. (The American Renaissance staff helpfully posted all three police composite sketches together on a line.)
