What Kind of Rhetoric Causes the Shooting of Whites?

Ever since the El Paso shooting, talk of racist rhetoric inspiring murderous attacks has been ratcheted up. Racism certainly is a problem, too, one accompanied by another problem: Those talking most about it appear to know least what it actually is. But bearing in mind that white-on-minority murders are quite rare and not nearly as common as the reverse, let’s ask a question: What kind of rhetoric caused the following killings?

• On December 7, 1993, a black man, Colin Ferguson, targeted white people with a handgun on a Long Island Railroad train, killing six passengers and injuring several others.
• One of two black snipers who killed whites in the Washington, D.C., area in 2002, John Allen Muhammad, said that he’d intended to murder six whites a day for 30 days. He believed that “the white man is the devil.”
• In 2010, black man Omar Thornton targeted whites at his workplace in Manchester, Conn., killing eight.
• In 2016, black man Micah Xavier Johnson shot 12 Dallas police officers, killing five; he’d told authorities that he wanted to kill white people. (Barack Obama’s anti-police rhetoric comes to mind here.)
• Black man Fredrick Demond Scott was charged in 2017 with the killings of two white men in Missouri and is suspected in the deaths of three others. He’d said that he wanted to “kill all white people.”
• In April 2017, black man Kori Ali Muhammad, who’d called white people “devils” on social media, murdered three Caucasian men in Fresno with a .357 revolver.

Then there was black man Oghaleoghene Atuno, who on April 5 purposely ran over two young white boys with his car.

Though not all involve murder, numerous other examples of black-on-white racial attacks can be found here, here and here.

Pure, unadulterated hate.

I truly believe this flame-fanning is coming from very white "Solid Liberals" as Pew calls them.

If you look at this snapshot of some research they did in late 2017, you'll find this group is much whiter and less minority than any other Dem-leaning group (or the nation as a whole), but they hold a higher agreement rate on the equal rights question vs other groups. They're also stridently anti-normal.

Perhaps most tellingly, on the question of "Racial discrimination is the main reason many black people can’t get ahead", Solid Liberals agree with this 91% of the time, vs 54% for Opportunity Democrats, 63% for Disaffected Democrats, and 41% for Devout and Diverse people and "Bystanders" (i.e., centrists).

In other words, by and large it's not the minorities of this country that are driving this narrative. It is the white leftists who see racism etc. behind every problem, and they are the lot on MSNBC and in Antifa creating this hostile environment.

That is why they are trotting out The Squad and anyone else they can find to try to claw back people thinking for themselves via #WalkAway and moving toward freedom and liberty and MAGA.

I remember years ago, sometime in the early 1980s, an Australian writer wrote an article about how since the so-called “civil rights movement” blacks had murdered over 50,000 white people. I’ll bet that number is now 100,000 or more.

numerous other examples of black-on-white racial attacks can be found

- psycho-epistemology of conduct disorder + antisocial personality + irrationality/emotionalism + low self esteem + anti-life/anti-man + low effort mentality = malevolence

- malevolence + vices of force/aggression + destruction = criminality

"But bearing in mind that white-on-minority murders are quite rare and not nearly as common as the reverse . . . "

It's not quite true that they are "rare," but it is true that there is more black-on-white murder both in raw numbers and - by far - as percentage of the population. Here are the FBI numbers for 2017:

whites murdered by blacks - 576
blacks murdered by whites - 264

Moreover, the "white figure" includes 104 Hispanics, who are for some reason lumped-in with whites. Blacks are about 12% of the population, whereas whites are 60% or more, so on a percentage basis, blacks are FAR more likely to kill whites. If whites murdered blacks at the same rate as blacks murder whites, there would be roughly 3,000 white-on-black murders in a year.

Thus the popular media narrative that there is a "war" on black people - particularly young black men - is completely false.

Somehow, none of those photos of Trump schmoozing with prominent black leaders ever appear in the MSM, but if someone finds a photo of a white-supremacist lurking in the background of a group photo where Trump is present, that will be cited as Exhibit “A” of Trump’s white-supremacist connections.

Most Hispanics are Caucasians (whites) of Southern European descent, except for some who come from heavily Indian areas of Latin America or heavily African areas of the Caribbean. In fact, most of them (again, except for those with a lot of Indian or African blood) look like any other people of Southern European descent, such as Italians. So that’s why they’re included, because they actually are white, and black racists hate them as much as they hate people of Northern European descent.

Wake up people, blacks killing whites because of racial hate isn’t anything new. Its just been ignored by the biased MSM. Check out Mark James Robert Essex of New Orleans, La, from January 1 and January 7, 1973 he killed five white policemen and four others and shot another 13 on his spree with a Ruger 44 Magnum. He hated whites and stated it repeatedly before he was finally killed by the use of a Marine mini gun from a helicopter. There are plenty of examples of black racists killing whites; its just the narrative that is being controlled by the MSM liberals that is not being truthful.The reporting of his spree by the CCC was cause for the MSM to label the CCC racist.
