The progressive ideal is largely to blame for the monstrous creation that is ghetto culture. The idea that racial narcissism among blacks should not only be tolerated but celebrated has led to a surge in open animosity for societal rules and standards within the US. Far more than any other group, the black community makes up the largest share of physical crime according to their percentage of the population. This includes robbery, aggravated assault, and homicides. For example, black Americans make up only 13% of the population but commit around 52% of all homicides according to FBI statistics. The recent...

A Colorado single mom who managed to beat cancer four times was killed when a stranger who claimed he was just cleaning his gun fired bullets into her home, cops said. Jennifer James, 49, was fatally shot when 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku allegedly opened fire from his car while parked outside the victim’s house in Berthoud, north of Denver, on April 28. The gunman told police that he accidentally shot at the home with his Glock 22 handgun — and then fired again when he was trying to clear the chamber, KDVR reported, citing a police affidavit.

Relatives of Ashlee Long, 28, gasped in the Dallas courtroom on Wednesday as the prosecution played the sickening video of her final moments, WFAA reports. Long was killed while her boyfriend, William Kistler, was wounded, after prosecutors say Kendrick Finch, 34, shot them both during horrifying scenes in Downtown Dallas on April 5.

Millions of Americans, including those among the lowest income brackets, truly have no idea how good life is for them. The grass is always greener somewhere else in the world until people actually take the plunge and move to the neighbor’s house only to discover it’s crack den. The self hatred that progressives feel over being American and living in the US is a first-world luxury that few others can afford. Most of humanity doesn’t have time to dwell obsessively on their nation’s global image; they are too busy barely surviving. The argument often regurgitated by over-privileged activists on Reddit...

It’s easy to laugh at the black American woman who allegedly moved to Ghana to escape racism, only to be confronted with giant spiders, grinding poverty, and the expectation that you pay your energy bills. However, the reality is that, if the video is legit, she made this disastrous move because leftist race hustlers sold her on the lie that America is a racist hellhole and Africa a black utopia. The hustlers haven’t moved, though, preferring vast wealth in America, while she really is living in hell. For decades, leftists, especially black leftists, have been telling the masses that America...

Actress KJ Smith bizarrely suggested that the black community “start looking into” moving to Africa due to the political climate in the United States during a red carpet event at the Oscars on Sunday evening.

It has been a humiliating week for nearly 300 Romanian mercenaries recruited to fight on the side of the army in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their surrender following a rebel assault on the eastern city of Goma has also shattered the dreams of those who signed up for the job to earn big money. The BBC has seen contracts that show that these hired soldiers were being paid around $5,000 (£4,000) a month, while regular military recruits get around $100, or sometimes go unpaid. The Romanians were contracted to help the army fight the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, who say...

GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Dead bodies lay in the streets, gunfire rang out and hospitals were overwhelmed in east Congo's largest city Goma where M23 rebels backed by Rwanda faced pockets of resistance on Tuesday from army and pro-government militias. A day after the rebels marched into the lakeside city, protesters in the capital attacked a U.N. compound and embassies including those of Rwanda, France and the United States, expressing anger at what they said was foreign interference.

A pack of young teenage girls randomly attacked an elderly man on a Brooklyn subway platform early Monday — with at least one assailant whacking the victim with a scooter, cops and police sources said.

One of the perpetrators even swung her scooter at the man’s head in what sources said was an unprovoked attack on northbound C line platform. The offenders are believed to be between the...

Come on, surely you've been arrested over a plate of pasta, right? No? Well, pull up a chair — I've got a weird one for ya! Let's talk about 21-year-old Nakhia Davis. Davis and her sister live in Florida (yes, another wild Florida story). Her sister ordered herself a nice ravioli meal, having it delivered to their house. Davis, as the story goes, was quite upset to learn that her sister wouldn't be sharing her delicious pasta. So, as a normal person does, Davis threw a plate of ravioli at her sister. The arrest report for this incident made me...

Okay, we had no idea Denzel Washington was starring in “Gladiator 2,” but Vanity Fair has unveiled new first-look photos, and now we’re hooked. The images feature Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington. “Gladiator 2” will be released from Paramount Pictures on November 22, 2024.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The African National Congress party lost its parliamentary majority in a historic election result Saturday that puts South Africa on a new political path for the first time since the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule 30 years ago. With more than 99% of votes counted, the once-dominant ANC had received just over 40% in Wednesday’s election, well short of the majority it had held since the famed all-race vote of 1994 that ended apartheid and brought it to power under Nelson Mandela. The final results are still to be formally declared by the...

Terry Clark Hughes Jr. is the 39-year-old suspect who opened fire at the scene where four law enforcement officers in Charlotte, North Carolina, were shot and killed on April 29, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Hughes was not the only shooter, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference. “When they approached Hughes,” officers “were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking” Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard, Jennings said. Officers then received “additional gunfire from inside of the residence,” he said. It was not immediately clear whose bullets struck which officers. Police have not...

Three million children in Haiti are in need of humanitarian assistance as continuing gang violence hampers aid delivery, the head of the UN children's agency, Unicef, has said. Catherine Russell said the situation in gang-wracked Haiti was "catastrophic" and growing worse "by the day". She told a meeting of the UN Security Council that in many areas essential services had collapsed. Meanwhile, a transitional presidential council has still not been sworn in. While Haiti has been blighted by gangs for years, the armed groups stepped up their attacks at the end of February when Prime Minister Ariel Henry travelled to...

Founder Mateus Chipa wants the Black community to be more involved in space exploration. According to a Scripps News report of the 360 astronauts enlisted with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), just 18 had been Black astronauts as of Feb 5, 2024. For Chipa, he believed that to increase representation and empowerment it would be necessary for an influential Black entrepreneur to launch a company to break down barriers. According to his website, he waited eight years for Black leaders to step forward. In frustration after that time had passed, he decided to take matters into his own...

You might think that the leftists who run California would be worried about the rapid decline of that state, but no: they are doing all they can to accelerate it. ***Heather Mac Donald outlines California’s latest descent into racialist madness: What would happen if lawmakers reinvented the criminal-justice system to target “systemic racism” instead of crime? California is about to find out. Thanks to a 2020 law called the California Racial Justice Act, every felon serving time in the state’s prisons and jails can now retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic bias. To prevail, the...
