John Derbyshire famously sparked controversy in April 2012 with his article The Talk: Nonblack Version, [Takimag, April 5, 2012], leading to his purging from National Review.

Derbyshire's Item 10h was particularly controversial. He wrote:

“The default principle in everyday personal encounters is, that as a fellow citizen, with the same rights and obligations as yourself, any individual black is entitled to the same courtesies you would extend to a nonblack citizen. That is basic good manners and good citizenship. In some unusual circumstances, however—e.g., paragraph (10h) below—this default principle should be overridden by considerations of personal safety....

(10) [W]hile always attentive to the particular qualities of individuals, on the many occasions where you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences, use statistical common sense:...

(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.” [My emphasis].

A small sample of the hysterical responses:

• Louis Perlman, gawker.com: "... a lot of tired racist stereotyping under the guise of 'public safety' for white people."
• Staff writers, news.com.au: "He even suggests they should tell their children to avoid helping black people in distress."
• Staff writers, Twitchy.com: "... telling your children not to help people in distress based on their skin color [sic]... is downright crazy talk."
• Maureen O'Connor, gawker.com: "I'm not saying white people should accost John Derbyshire and shoot him with guns in his white neighborhood, then refuse to assist him when he lies in a state of 'apparent distress,' until he dies. Just that it'd be ironic."

My article below documents, from Main Stream Media sources, recent racial violence against Good Samaritans. This violence is apparently exclusively perpetrated by blacks (in the United States and Europe), Hispanics (in the US), Arabs and South Asians (in Europe and Canada), and Pacific Islanders (in Australia and New Zealand). These stories conclusively prove the wisdom of Derbyshire's advice not to act the Good Samaritan to blacks, and some other minorities, in apparent distress.

It's a matter of self-defense.

Other points:

• Some of the Good Samaritans were necessarily defending their own relatives, but others were stopping on the highway to help strangers—specifically warned against not only by Derbyshire but by police, who are aware that "apparent distress" is frequently a trap. "'Don't stop in road for anyone,' warns Sheriff Donnie Haralson” is the subhead of the story in Case 6—which happened not in the Third World, but in Crisp County GA.
• Other Good Samaritans were intervening in domestic violence between two members of the same race. In Case 16 Quintin Guerrero, 61, was killed when he rushed to aid Tosheba Alford, who then allegedly joined her boyfriend in kicking him to death.
• Cases 21 through 25 did not, strictly speaking, involve Good Samaritans, but merely good citizens protesting in the name of civilized standards, Seems that's not allowed either.
• Cases 1 through 8 took place after the publication of Derbyshire’s Rule 10h. That means the Good Samaritans could have been saved from robbery, assault, and murder if they’d read and heeded Derbyshire. Maybe they read Gawker (or National Review) instead.
