Almost daily Corner bashing

John Derbyshire knows and loves black people. For one:

"Nappy-headed"?  "Nappy" is a term aggressively promoted by black-identity  activists themselves.  A book search on Amazon.com with key phrase "nappy hair" returned  767 results:  Nappy Hair by Carolivia Herron, Going-Natural: How to Fall in  Love With Nappy Hair by Mireille Liong-a-Kong, Sculptured Nails and  Nappy Hair by Lincoln Park, Nappy Hair 101 by Ayana Hardin,  Happy to be Nappy by Bell Hooks, etc., etc., etc., etc.

As for "hos"—well, again, this is a term lifted from the heart of black  American culture. Michelle Malkin has done the legwork here, uncovering some of the lyrics in the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. "When it come down to these hos / I don't love em," and so on.

And for another:

[H]igh rates of violent crime in black areas, says Tony, arise not from poverty, but from black culture....

Logically there are three possibilities here: The poverty causes the crime, the crime causes the poverty, or both the crime and the poverty are functions of some third variable. Is it really so difficult to work out which of these is the case? It seems to me like a pretty elementary exercise in social science.

So elementary is the exercise, in fact, that for providing all of us mediocrities with the answer, Derbyshire will be awarded a rotating faculty seat at Howard University in the coming years--the Nappy Hos memorial professorship. It's a perfectly acceptable title, as the term originates in "the heart of black culture," a subject on which Derbyshire is an expert of international renown. 

Derbyshire also thinks he knows how many black friends he has.
