Boiled down, Bennett did indeed say “Abort all black babies and cut crime.”
You can slap qualifiers on it such as he said it might be morally
reprehensible, but I think his very statement was pretty morally
reprehensible regardless on a rather large number of levels.

If you took all clone purchasers and boiled them alive, TLG’s competitors would
go bankrupt and it would be good for AFOLs (assuming what’s good for TLG is good
for AFOLs).
I just said that, but do I actually advocate it? Of course not. But it does
represent one way TLG would instantly find themselves in a better financial
situation.
Does your opinion of me decrease at all because of my statement above? Aborting
black babies and boiling humans of any race are equally morally reprehensible.
But I doubt that you think less of me, because I’ll bet you are willing to give
me the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe how one feels about Bennett’s statement simply depends upon how one feels
about Bennett the man. Like him, cut him slack; hate him, and excoriate him for
his words.
Bennett has “issues”, as do we all, but I don’t think that racism and advocating
abortion are among them.
