Prominent journalist Andy Ngo, who is the Editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, has been temporarily suspended from Twitter following a response tweet to human rights campaigner, Clinton Foundation operator, and political heir Chelsea Clinton regarding trans murder rates.
The tweet by Clinton highlights the deaths of more than 150 trans people who “have been murdered in the U.S.” since 2013, “the majority black transgender women.”
The post included a quoted tweet and a video by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC.) “On #TDoR2019 (trans day of remembrance,) we remember and honor the lives lost, hold their loved ones in our hearts and must commit to doing all we can to end this epidemic of violence and hate.
In response, Ngo tweeted the following:
“The US is one of the safest countries for trans people. The murder rate of trans victims is actually lower than that for cis population. Also, who is behind the murders? Mostly black men.”
Twitter employees deemed Ngo’s tweet violated the Twitter Rules, specifically for their rules against hateful conduct.
In response to the suspension, Ngo provided comment to The Post Millennial: “Stating a verifiable empirical claim with no value judgement attached is determined to be ‘hateful conduct’ by Twitter. The platform most used by journalists to communicate and counter ‘fake news’ also actively punishes individuals for communicating truths when they are deemed politically inconvenient.”
The stat that Ngo is citing does, in fact, come from the HRC’s own numbers.
As outlined by Federalist writer Chad Felix Greene, the black community’s issues with transphobia are amongst the worst in the country, along with the Hispanic community. Greene uses data made available from HRC reports in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
“Of the 118 listed cases from 2015 to 2019, 52 have known murderers. The above chart reveals that the racial identity of the victim and the murderer seem entirely irrelevant to the murder motivation,” writes Greene.
“While 67 percent of the victims are indeed black, and the majority are trans women, as reported, the majority of their killers are black as well. This is true for white victims and a single Native American victim who was murdered by a Native American killer. In the 2016 case of Brandi Bledsoe, the murderers were both black and white and were also trans women.”
These stats are backed up by individual cases as well. Detroit, for example, is a city which has ranked amongst the highest in violence for decades. As documented by BuzzFeed: “Nowhere do the violence and homicides appear as concentrated as the Palmer Park area in Detroit” Detroit is 84 percent black in demographics, with the majority of crime being black-on-black.
Andy Ngo "Not really. It's pretty safe here for transgender people. But when they do get murdered, it's mostly black guys killing them."
Twitter: "YOU'RE SUSPENDED!"
Of course he violated twitter rules, he told the truth.
How does the murder rate of cross-dressing male prostitutes compare to the murder rate of all prostitutes, especially male prostitutes who don’t wear women’s clothes?
btt
didn’t the WH social media summit put an end to this?
Meanwhile none of them speak out about Arkancide rates and Epstein didn’t kill himself but he did have a funny painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress.
Gay men are known to abuse and kill their sex partners.
The statistic Chelsea girl cites is meaningless without the requested context
More specifically, he told an inconvenient truth.
Guys pretending to be women engage in sex with men who believe they're a woman.
That is RAPE BY FRAUD.
If a woman kills a rapist, that's legal self-defense.
But for a man in this circumstance, it's a "hate crime"....NO!
It is RAPE BY FRAUD.
Telling the truth is one thing. Telling the truth while being a relatively sensible person (and not a swastika-waving nazi) is another.
Ever noticed it's guys like Ngo who get suspended and guys like Gavin McInnes get banned while Richard Spencer and David Duke get to keep their accounts? It's no accident.
Likely scenario is some drunken idiot thought he was about to get lucky with a lady only to discover a little surprise package. Deceived dude offs tranny.
TRUTH = HATE
How ridiculous! The Truth hurts Twitters little feelings. Leftist nitwits are not fit for normal society. Real statistics scare their deranged sensibilities.
But Andy had brain damage, so he should tell Twitter they are discriminating on a handicapped person and it's a federal offense under ADA and he and his attorney are contacting HHS. Even if it won't fly, it will make them think for a while. Ha, Ha!
Of course, I bet leftists park in handicapped spaces more than conservatives.
I imagine that playing in traffic at night would be about as safe as being a cross-dressing black male prostitute. It’s very sad that these people are being murdered, but it’s also highly correlated with their lifestyle, no matter what clothes they were wearing.
Do you have a link to a state or federal criminal code that lists and defines this crime?
Circa 1986.
Truth isn't welcome on the BigTech platforms - gotta manipulate arguments and interfere in elections.
I’ve been seeing the obvious signs for months now.
As we get close to the 2020 election, the more bannings, suspensions and deletions by Facebook, Twitter and Google will occur against conservatives.
