This remarkable attitude, which views the sexual act as casually as a good-night kiss, is reported by school administrators and law-enforcement officials among Negroes across the nation. In Philadelphia, District Attorney Victor H. Blanc in 1958 typically reported confiscation of large quantities of pornographic pictures among Negro pupils in the public schools; much of the material was intended to encourage interracial “Sex Clubs” led by Negro teen-agers who regard fornication, in the Negro newspaper’s phrase, as “social pleasures and normal living.” Another of Dr. Johnson’s characteristics, in the list that made up his “stereotype” of the typical Negro, was summarized under “law observance” as “relatively high incidence of social disorder; drunkenness, fighting, gambling, petty stealing, etc.” Here, too, some measurable data may be had. Nathaniel Weyl has summed up the picture succinctly: “For well over a century the Negro has been responsible for an alarmingly disproportionate share of American crime. In 1950 his felony rate was almost three times the national average. Thirty per cent of the two million persons arrested for major crimes in 1957 were colored. “While his contribution to all types of crime, except political crime, has been excessive, the Negro has gravitated toward the most serious offenses and, above all, toward crimes of violence. In recent years he has accounted for _well over half_ the nation’s murders, non-negligent manslaughters, aggravated assaults and robberies.” [Emphasis supplied.] As in the case of illegitimacy, Negro crime rates have not tended to decline significantly with the Negro’s rising level of income and opportunity. About 34 per cent of the convicts committed to jail in 1910 were colored; the figure is about 30 per cent for 1960. Historically, Negro crime rates have been higher in the more-or-less-integrated North than in the more-or-less-segregated South. In Philadelphia, where the shockingly brutal murder of a Korean student in 1958 prompted some candid and critical investigations, it was found that Negro teen-agers, representing 30 per cent of the population, were guilty of 75 per cent of juvenile crime. In one nineteen-day period given special study, Negroes were found responsible for forty-five of fifty-three “headings,” in which victims were savagely beaten with clubs and iron pipes; they also were charged with thirty-two of thirty-eight murders and 340 of 437 cases of aggravated assault. Eighty per cent of the inmates of Philadelphia prisons at that time were Negroes. The figures are entirely comparable in New York, where one city magistrate, after hearing an unusually shocking case of Negro violence, asked a rhetorical question that hangs quivering in the air: “What kind of animals do we have in this town?”
