Look out, “extremist white supremacy” is coming to get you! It’s lurking behind every bush, under every bed, it will get you because it is everywhere. It is, in fact, the top domestic terrorist threat in the country...if you don’t count 10,000 murders of black people as terrorism and only focus on the killings of 25 people. That may sound odd or absurd, and it is (both). It’s also what Democrats argue because they don’t give a single damn about the slaughter of anyone they can’t monetize or use to mobilize.
President Joe Biden encouraged the 2023 graduating class at Howard University to “stand up against the poison of white supremacy as I did in my inaugural address, to single out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to homeland is white supremacy. And I’m not saying this because I’m a black HBCU, I say it wherever I go.” By the way, the “B” in “HBCU” stands for black; there are no non-black HBCUs.
What is the “threat” from white supremacy the lives of those graduates are facing? Nothing. Literally nothing. A rounding error in crime statistic, at best.
Almost 10,000 black people were murdered in 2020 (9,941, to be exact) compared to 7,043 white people. How many of those 10,000 were killed by “extremists”? Well, according to the left-wing Anti-Defamation League, a group with everything to gain by inflating those numbers, the total was 25.
Reuters reports, “White supremacists commit the highest number of domestic extremist-related murders in most years, but in 2022 the percentage was unusually high: 21 of the 25 murders were linked to white supremacists.” So, the total is 21. That’s 21 out of 9,941 or .21 percent. Is that the “biggest threat” black people face? They have higher odds of getting hit by a train while on an airplane flying over the Atlantic than to be a victim of “white supremacy extremism.” (Naturally, Reuters framed it in a way to scare and mislead people, headlining the story, “White supremacists behind over 80% of extremism-related U.S. murders in 2022.” If you don’t have the facts or numbers, highlight the percentages…)
Why don’t Democrats tell the truth – that the drug dealers Democrats refuse to prosecute are exponentially more likely to murder innocent black people than any other configuration of human being? Because, unlike that garbage like from Biden and his commencement address at Howard, telling the truth won’t get you applause from any leftists, let alone an educated black audience. And yes, they did applaud that absurd line (watch it here for yourself).
If you want to talk about indoctrination, look no further than what Democrats have done to the education system in predominately black cities, and especially HBCUs. How can anyone believe there are bands of white supremacists – a term, by the way, that Democrats have abused more than Democrat Jeffrey Epstein abused young girls while Democrats sucked up to him, to mean anything and anyone they don’t like – roaming the country looking for minorities to kill?
I wrote this in my book a few years ago, but it’s relevant today, the Southern Poverty Law Center estimated there are between 5,000 and 8,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan in the United States, or an average of 6,500. The average attendance of a WNBA game in 2016 was 7,655, a record for them at the time and something they celebrated. That meant there were more than 1,100 more people in attendance of the average game of one of the least popular professional sports in the world than in the most widely known “extremist white supremacist” organization in the country, possibly the world.
Yet, through some miracle known only to Democrats, white supremacists are the greatest terroristic threat the nation faces. Must be that “new math” we’ve been hearing about.
That old politicians looking to manipulate black people spew lies like this should surprise no one, Democrats have been doing that for hundreds of years. That anyone still buys it is a testament to just how engrained the real racism in this country, found exclusively on the left, is still riding strong.
The fact is about 90 percent of black murder victims are killed by black killers (it’s roughly the same for every race, but the numbers are about 10 percentage points less). By not acknowledging this reality, Joe Biden is lying in order to reinforce one of the most important narratives Democrats have going. They’re also lying to obscure the fact that unchecked progressive Democrat policies truly are the greatest threat to black lives in the country. But you’d only care about that if you honestly believed that “Black Lives Matter.” Clearly, Democrats and even BLM activists do not.
