Frank James - had been investigated and cleared by the FBI in 2019. Soon after that report emerged, thousands of people scouring James’ social-media presence made a truly shocking (if unsurprising) discovery: the suspect who shot at least 10 people in a terrifying and meticulously planned mass shooting (police found explosive devices that didn’t detonate) has been publishing bizarre, hate-filled rants on YouTube praising other mass shooters terrorists and calling on people to kill “whitey”.
Amazingly, YouTube hasn’t yet taken down the page, which - as far as we can tell - still includes all of the hateful videos that media outlets have reported on extensively overnight.
In his videos, he appears to express support for an extreme “black nationalist” ideology. At certain points, he even expresses a hatred or dislike for black people, referring to them as racial slurs which we won’t repeat here (although you can find some examples over at the Daily Beast).
At one point, James calls upon “black Jesus” to “kill all the whiteys”.
edit. As of 9AM PDT The videos are still on YouTube. See the link above
Speaking of narratives, I recently ran across this piece describing how the racially charged Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman case was far from as the media portrayed it.
The comments you may find interesting, expressing how fed up many liberals are with the current radical politicians that are in power now and driving these identity politics. November can’t come soon enough.
The Glenn Show has been one of my go-to podcasts since the summer of peaceful protests (arson). Every conversation between Glenn Loury and John McWhorter is well worth everyone’s time.
So aside from black nationalist terrorism, like that SUV that drove itself through the Christmas parade or the latest NYC subway mass shooter, we all know the real domestic threat is far right terrorist groups. Groups like that militia that was plotting to capture the MI governor a few years ago. Well rest easy, we got ‘em.
Turns out it was nearly all the FBI, more FBI undercover guys inciting violence than citizens, which made convictions hard when, well, they never really had a plot nor actually did anything. Better increase the FBI budget tho, just in case.
And speaking of the non-coverage of black violence in the media, here’s a nice analysis that shows the main stream media covers it up, just like you knew from your lying eyes.
Media critics on the right say that the conspicuous omission of James’s race from these news reports illustrates a trend among prestige papers, which deemphasize or omit the race of non-white criminals while playing up the race of white offenders. But is it a real pattern?
Yes. A Washington Free Beacon review of hundreds of articles published by major papers over a span of two years finds that papers downplay the race of non-white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders. These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offender’s race at all if he is white, a disparity that grew in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020 and the protests that followed.
The data suggest an alarming editorial trend in which major papers routinely omit information from news reports, presenting readers with a skewed picture of who does and doesn’t commit crime.
Nice charts as well as pre-vs-post Floyd analysis (yes it got even worse).
This disparity widened following George Floyd’s murder. Before May of 2020, papers were roughly twice as likely to mention the race of a white (13 percent of stories) versus a black perpetrator (7 percent). After May of 2020, the numbers were 28 percent and 4 percent, a ratio of seven to one.
Now that is a hoot. What great symbolism! All the sailors got off the ship safely, so I’m not laughing at their deaths. The craft was under tow, heading for repair in a Russian port, when it sank. Repair has now become somewhat more difficult!
And the ship Ukraine sank was named for Moscow. Nothing could be more appropriate. The once mighty Russian flagship now rests on the bottom.
Apropos of my post up thread regarding Merkel, a sweet East German girl, now comes this from the WaPo regarding East German attitudes generally
Seems you can take East Germany out of the Russian orbit, but you cannot exclude Russian forbearance from (what was once) East Germany. Old attitudes persist.
Looks like TX is following through with more than just a PR stunt - shipping busses of illegals to Washington DC, where presumably they will be more welcome.
When two anti-ship missiles blow up the magazine on a guided missile cruiser, at night, on rough seas during a storm, it would certainly defy probability for everyone in the crew to get away unscathed.
Multiple sources were stating that only 50 crew were saved, and the captain was not among them.
(mixed reporting on whether Russia actually flip-flopped on their original claim of all crew saved – but it seems really unlikely)
A bedrock tenet of liberal dogma is judgment of people not by the color of their skin but rather by the content of their character.
Why, then, are liberals reacting with such concern and dismay at the prospect of a successful and estimable African American man taking the reins at Twitter?
