The events of the last few weeks seem to have sparked a renewed conversation about the threat posed by, in the words of a recent USA Today headline, white Violence. These concerns, which are being expressed in spite of the fact that the Atlanta shooter was not motivated by race and the Boulder shooter wasn't even white, though all of his victims were, all stem from an alleged pandemic of white brutality. In the words of another headline, a quick trip through Google will pull up countless articles and editorials with phrases like white rage and weaponized whiteness and the threat of whiteness. As Kamala Harris niece Mina Harris put it in a now deleted tweet, violent white men are the greatest terror threat to our country. The website MLive in Michigan has a story this week about black people in Michigan who are afraid to walk through the suburbs for fear of violence. From whites in Michigan, it's reported that increasing numbers of black people are purchasing guns in order to defend themselves against dastardly white men. Now, the message from all this is clear. White people are dangerous and uniquely so. We're meant to believe, or at least to shut up and pretend we believe, that white violence is a serious problem in this country and that much of that violence is interracial. As the media tries its hardest to stir up panic over the hordes of murderous, bloodthirsty white men supposedly roaming our streets, it becomes necessary to introduce some truth and sanity into the picture. Fortunately, the FBI, for the time being, at least until the woke mob demands that they take it down, has homicide statistics organized into handy charts and available on their website. You can go look at it yourself. A look at those charts shows first that the vast majority of murder is intraracial. That is, in the lion's share of cases, one member of a race is killing another member of the same race. So in 2019, there were 3,299 white victims of murder, of which 2,594 were killed by other white people. There were 2,906 black victims of murder, of which 2 thousand 574 were killed by other black people. Given the sort of wanton slaughter between races and ethnicities that you find in other parts of the world and throughout other periods in history, it's quite remarkable, actually, how little interracial violence we actually have in this country. Though the race baiters on the left are doing what they can to change that. As for interracial murder, that is murder between different races, the statistics just as clearly show that whites fall victim to that far more often than any other race. In 2019, 566 whites were killed by blacks, as opposed to 246 blacks killed by whites. The numbers are very similar throughout all other years in recent history. Again, you can go look at this yourself. Outlets like Reuters have run fact checks on memes and social media posts that make exactly the claim that I just made, which is based entirely on publicly available FBI data. And Reuters determined that the claims are somehow still false or at least misleading. Maybe they'll say that about what I'm. Maybe this. What I'm doing right now is gonna get a fact check and they're gonna say it's wrong. Now, how do they do that? Well, they explain that though it's true that more white people fall victim to interracial murder, it's also true that given the population disparities, black people are more likely to fall victim to interracial murder. Now, that's technically correct, though it's nonsensical to accuse someone of stating a falsehood just because they didn't frame the statistical data in the way that you subjectively prefer. You take any data point, there are different ways of framing it, all of which could be true. What the fact checkers on the Internet will do is they have one particular framing that they want to see. And if you don't frame it that way, they're going to fact check you and say that what you're saying is false, even if it's true. The problem, though, is that the more likely knife cuts both ways. See, if we say that blacks are more likely to fall victims than whites, we must also say that blacks, again, given the difference in population size, are significantly more likely to victimize whites. Any given black person is more likely to die by violence, even violence from a white person, but he's also more likely to be the one committing violence. That's what the statistics indisputably show those are just the facts. That's it. There's no way to frame the numbers that will get around the simple facts of the matter. The problem of interracial violence in America, though comparatively small and we should be grateful for that, is a problem being driven by much more by non white people than by white people. Non white people are committing the majority of interracial violence and also intraracial violence, and it's not even that close. If black people in Michigan or anywhere else are running to arm themselves for fear of homicidal whites, that fear is purely the product of media fabrication. It has no foundation in reality. None. What's the point of presenting this information? Why bother citing FBI homicide statistics? Well, because first of all, the truth matters. I think. I think it matters for its own sake when someone like Jessica Valenti claims, as she did in a post on Medium, that, quote, young white male rage is the biggest threat to our country. She has no facts supporting her whatsoever. She has only her feelings, her perceptions, what she wishes were true, what she thinks ought to be true. Truth, again, matters for its own sake and must be asserted and asserted again and reasserted in the face of lies and false narratives. And we must keep asserting it every single time we're all feeling it. Costs are rising on everything. Gas, groceries, home repairs. And if you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt? And you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have. Well, listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. That's the math that nobody wants to face. But it's costing you thousands of dollars. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. And that's why people are calling American Financing, because they're saving customers an average of 800 bucks a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no pressure. It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. If you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American Financing today. 866-56947 11.

And the EEOC, which is a federal agency, agreed with them. And here's what the Biden administration wrote in their lawsuit. Quote Sheets committed a continuing company wide practice in violation of Title VII with respect to a class of black, American Indian, Alaska Native and multiracial job applicants who did not pass Sheets criminal justice history screening by failing to hire them for all positions because of race. For instance, black job applicants have failed defendants criminal justice history screening and consequently are denied employment at a rate exceeding approximately 14.5%, while white job applicants have failed the criminal justice history screening and consequently are denied employment at a rate of under approximately 8%. The complaint notes that the number of Indians and multiracial applicants who are denied on this basis is roughly the same. Now, a few points here. First, given what we know about black crime rates, these numbers are actually a lot closer to each other than you would expect. There's less of a disparity than you would expect. Nationally, according to FBI data, black people make up more than 26% of total arrests. And the imprisonment rate for black Americans is over five times the rate for whites. But the Sheets data only shows a disparity of around 7%. And according to the EEOC, Sheets is looking at both convictions as well as arrests when it runs its background checks. And more importantly, you notice what's being conflated here. The complaint states that Sheets is failing to hire these applicants because of race. But what they're really saying is that Sheets isn't hiring applicants who failed a criminal background check. They don't want criminals working for them. Any reasonable person can see that these two are very different rationales. And indeed, on its website, the EEOC makes this distinction clear. They state, quote, the lawsuit does not allege that Sheets was motivated by race when making hiring decisions. I mean, and that should be the end of it. Even the people filing the lawsuit are saying that race was not a factor, but it's not the end of it. Because this is a sort of madness that the legal theory of disparate impact breeds. You know, the left knows that it can't find any examples of actual direct discrimination against black people in this country. Certainly not at Sheets. They know they're not gonna find any example of any company or any major corporation or company of any size that has a policy in place saying, we're not gonna hire you because you're black. They're not gonna find that. But they're also not gonna say, well, okay, well then I guess the anti black discrimination isn't really a problem. We'll move on. They're not going to say that either. So instead the left has invented this notion of disparate impact to create discrimination where it doesn't really exist. Independence Day isn't about fireworks and barbecues.

Well, a lot of people are mad at me every week, but this is an especially mad week. It's the kind of week where somebody tweeted, quote, I'm praying that Matt Walsh gets into a fatal car accident. And that Tweet got like 150 likes before it was taken down. And I know what you're thinking, only 150 likes. That's disappointing. We got to get those numbers up. And I agree. But again, the tweet was taken down. That's not a bad tally for something that was only posted for a few hours, so get off my case about it. There was also another tweet that said simply, I can't wait for Matt Walsh to die. And I appreciate that this guy is more open minded. You know, the other one only wants me to die in a car accident. But this guy is open to really anything causing my death. Shark attack, asteroid strike, spontaneous combustion. He'll take anything. And I really do appreciate that. But in any case, people are especially upset at me this week, as best I can tell, because I have been speaking out about the murder of Austin Metcalf. And my take on the murder is that, first of all, it's bad, which is already very controversial among a large number of leftists. And also second, I believe that his killing at the hands of Carmelo Anthony is part of a larger trend. And the larger trend is that young black males like Carmelo Anthony are, well, constantly killing people and committing other acts of violence. Young black males are the most violent demographic in the country, hands down, no contest. I think we should probably acknowledge that fact and start taking it seriously. And this in particular is what seems to have angered so many people, to the point that some of them are wishing for my death. Although, in fairness, most of them were wishing for my death before all of this. So really, it's just icing on the cake. So today I want to go through and watch some of the angry videos that have been posted responding to my comments on the Metcalf murder. And we'll hear my critics out, find out if maybe they have any legitimate points to make. Let's start with this video from a channel called Political Punk. He's very offended. Let's find out why.
