The Dishonest Politics of Interracial Violence

by Jeffrey Folks

Recently in Sacramento, police appear to have solved a 40-year-old cold case.  Based partly on DNA evidence, a black man now 71 years old has been charged in the brutal rape and murder of Robin Brooks.  

Like Robin Brooks, each year, some 500 whites are murdered by blacks in the USA. But the Brooks case never generated national media outrage, nor has any of the other cases where whites were murdered by blacks.  Meanwhile, instances of white-on-black killing, such as that of Ahmaud Arbery, automatically draw scrutiny and spur protests.  Its easy to get the impression that most interracial murders are committed by whites.

Donald Trump attempted to correct that impression in 2015 when he tweeted that 81% of whites murdered were killed by blacks.  The Poynter Institute's PolitiFact soon "corrected" Trump's tweet by publishing FBI statistics showing that "only" 15% of whites are killed by blacks, while 8% of blacks are killed by whites.  These raw numbers, however, are not adjusted for population.  Adjusting for the relative number of whites and blacks in the U.S. population (white population at roughly six times that of black) would show that individual blacks are some 12 times more likely to kill a white person as the other way around.  That number does not appear in any liberal post.

As usual, US News & World Report is a good place to search for accurate information.  In a Sept. 26, 2016 article (during the presidency of Barack Obama, who promised to make America "racially neutral"), US News noted that the number of interracial homicides had been growing rapidly.  Using 2015 data, numbers showed "500 killings of white people attributed to blacks" in a year when 229 blacks were killed by whites.

In addition to these numbers, each year, there are many black-on-white murders that are never solved and thousands of serious assaults that are never reported.

Still, as US News points out, only about 12% of homicides overall are interracial.

What this figure masks, however, is the especially brutal nature of many interracial killings. The horrific rape-torture-murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in January 2007 failed to make the national news despite the unspeakable violence involved.  During the many hours that Christian and Newsom were held, they were repeatedly raped, sodomized, and tortured by a gang of five blacks.  Channon Christian was beaten until she was brain-damaged, had Lysol poured down her throat, and was then wrapped in plastic bags and left to suffocate slowly, her body thrown in a trash bin.  Newsom was shot, his body rolled in a rug and set alight.   

Had the victims been black, it seems likely that federal hate crime charges would have been brought.  The national media would have been all over the case, and national black leaders would have been on the scene.  Knoxville, where the crimes took place, would have been the scene of some of the most incendiary protests in modern history — yet there was only silence.  The murders and the long, excruciating trial and retrial that followed were not even mentioned in the mainstream media.  Even now, to speak of these and similar crimes is to invite the charge of racism, as if simply speaking the truth were somehow wrong.  Clearly, a completely biased double standard exists in the way interracial crimes are reported.

When blacks are killed by whites, even in the case of police officers defending themselves against violent assailants, there is often talk of a racial "hate crime."  Protestors march carrying signs of "Black Lives Matter."  Certainly, black lives do matter, and they matter enormously, but one should not be protesting when the object of these protests was defending himself against a violent assailant.

Often, those leading the Black Lives Matter protests are silent when whites are killed by blacks.  So also, all too often, are federal authorities, including Vice President Biden.  During the eight years in which Biden was V.P., some 4,000 whites were murdered by blacks, many of them, like Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, in a sickening manner.  Yet so far as I can determine, Biden has never supported federal hate crime charges against any black assailant.

There is no way to prevent most of these crimes, but it would help if politicians and other public figures would stop playing the race card every time a case arises.  Among those on the national scene, former V.P. Biden appears to be one of the most culpable in this respect.  Telling blacks that whites want them "back in chains" is not the pathway to racial tranquility.  Stating that President Trump has a connection with "the Ku Klux Klans and the rest of them," as Biden did in January, does not bring America together.  Similarly, announcing that he will have a woman, preferably one "of color," on his ticket — in other words, excluding most candidates solely on the basis of their race and sex — does not portend a race- and sex-neutral presidency.

Unfortunately, the killing will continue, and blacks will continue to kill whites as well as other blacks at several times the national average.  What can we do?  For one thing, be vigilant.  Be observant of your surroundings, and avoid dangerous situations.

One cannot easily change the mindset of an underclass of Americans, both black and white, who are willing to kill for a few dollars or to kill out of a twisted sense of pleasure in violence or racial revenge.  I pray that eventually the violence will end, but that's not likely for decades if not centuries.  I feel compassion for the hundreds of thousands of victims of violence, interracial or otherwise.

If there is one step that can be taken now toward improving the situation, it is to face the facts honestly.  It doesn't help to pretend that blacks are the sole victims of interracial violence; they are the perpetrators as well, and to a disproportionate extent.  Candidate Trump told the truth, though he may have been much mistaken on his numbers.  V.P. Biden, so far as I can determine, has never spoken frankly about black-on-white crime.  It is time for him and the national media to do so, and so begin a process of national reconciliation based on an honest acknowledgement of the facts.

L'odio a 5 stelle avvelena il paese

VERAMENTE OTTIMO ARTICOLO APPARSO SU IL  Giornale DI SILVIO BERLUSCONI, IERI, A FIRMA ALESSANDRO SALLUSTI

"Riccardo Ricciardi, oscuro ex consigliere comunale di Massa, presunto esperto di regie teatrali miracolosamente approdato in Parlamento nel 2018 con l'infornata grillina, ieri è spuntato fuori dal nulla che ha caratterizzato la sua vita professionale e politica per attaccare violentemente il modello sanitario della Lombardia, i suoi tanti morti e il suo nuovo ospedale «costruito sprecando soldi pubblici» (essendo ignorante non sa neppure che l'ospedale in questione è stato costruito solo con i soldi di privati).Da qui ne è nata una rissa verbale e fisica con i deputati lombardi che per poco coinvolge il presidente del Consiglio presente in aula.

Avendo l'acqua alla gola i Cinque Stelle mandano avanti picchiatori e provocatori con la benedizione del presidente della Camera Fico (amico del Ricciardi) e molto probabilmente anche del premier. I grillini non sono avversari politici, sono dei teppisti mantenuti della politica e pure senza scrupoli. Per fortuna è solo questione di tempo, al primo voto due terzi di loro dicono i sondaggi - andrà a casa a fare i conti con la disoccupazione dalla quale vengono. Tra questi sicuramente ci sarà il Ricciardi, ma anche i loro compagni di scuola (solo quelli di Di Maio sono cinque) i parenti e gli amici piazzati ben pagati in ogni dove, e questo sì è puro sperpero di denaro pubblico.Sarà una liberazione, perché noi ci teniamo ben stretto il modello Lombardia e lasciamo ai grillini il modello Roma-Raggi (degrado e inefficienza da Terzo mondo), quello Bonafede-giustizia (quattrocento mafiosi scarcerati), quello Di Maio-reddito di cittadinanza (soldi nostri a mafiosi, pregiudicati e lavoratori in nero) e quello Conte-Coronavirus (milioni di italiani economicamente abbandonati).

Temo che il provocatore Ricciardi sia solo l'antipasto di ciò che ci verrà quotidianamente servito nei prossimi mesi, quando sarà chiaro a tutti che il governo non ha risolto neppure un problema. Fomentare odi e picchiare sugli avversari per depistare l'opinione pubblica diventerà lo sport preferito di chi vede avvicinarsi la fine della sua ricca avventura politica. Non ci faremo intimidire ma è ovvio che non ci aspettano bei tempi."
