New Century Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Century Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization founded in 1994 to "study immigration and race relations so as to better understand the consequences of America’s increasing diversity." It sponsors publications and books, and holds occasional conferences. The order was founded by Jared Taylor, who is also its current President.
The group publishes the American Renaissance, a white nationalist monthly magazine describing itself as "America's leading premiere publication of racial-realist thought."

[edit] The Color of Crime
The NCF's latest publication, The Color of Crime, makes various claims about the relationship between crime and race. Their major "findings" include such statements as:
- Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
- Black people are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
- When black people commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
- Hispanic people commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asian men and women commit violent crimes at about a quarter of the white rate.
- The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
- Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving both blacks and whites, the former commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
- Black men and women commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
- Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
- Black people are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
- Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
- Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
- Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
- Black people are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.
The publication concludes that black people are more dangerous than white people, just as "young people are more dangerous than old people" and "men are more dangerous than women." It claims that is therefore logical to take precautions around black people.
[edit] Criticisms
[edit] Dinesh D'Souza
Taylor was the author of Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America, a 1991 book that documented supposed problems with U.S. policies on civil rights, crime and welfare. For his comments in the book he was condemned as an advocate of "the new white racism" by conservative author Dinesh D'Souza.[citation needed]
[edit] Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League criticized the NCF for promoting "genteel racism" and employing dubious techniques to claim the superiority of whites and the need for racial purity.[1]
