You know, a lot of people have been mad at me this week. 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. The other one only wants me to die in a car accident, but this guy is open to really anything causing my death, a 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 Another trend is that young black males like Carmelo Anthony are, well, constantly killing

people. 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. Look at this tweet, man.
If I told you that a young man stabbed another young man to death for telling him he was in the wrong seat, and then I told you that one young man in this altercation was white and the other black, and then I asked you to guess the race of the assailant. Every single person would know the answer immediately, Matt Walsh says.
Young black males are violent to a wildly, outrageously disproportionate degree. That's just a fact, he says.
We all know it. And it's time we speak honestly about it or nothing will ever change.
Dude, this is like Jim Crow right here, bro. And yet, like every mass shooter is whom? Is a white guy, right? But dude, this is straight up Klan.
I mean, it's coming from Matt Walsh, who is basically straight up Klan, but every mass shooter, every one of them is white. Okay.
Now the claim that every mass shooter is white is one that will come up again in these clips. So we'll save that for later.
It's not remotely true at all. Spoiler alert, but we'll get to that in a few minutes.
He says that my point about the disproportionate violence of black males is straight up Klan stuff, but you'll notice what he doesn't say. He doesn't say that I'm wrong.
And this is another theme that will emerge when you point out the disproportionate violence of black males. Leftists will get offended.
They'll call you names. They'll say you're racist.
They'll deflect. They'll talk about white school shooters and mass shooters and so on.
But what they won't do, because they can't do it, is present any data that contradicts the claim itself. What they won't do is say, hey, let's look at the numbers.
I'm going to show you that young black males are not disproportionately violent. They won't do that because it's just simply the case that black males are disproportionately violent, and they just demand that we don't notice it.
And there's a lot that this next person doesn't want us to notice. This is someone calling himself intelligent hood genius.
So, you know, it's going to be good. Let's listen.
White people, black people are violent. Black men are violent.
I'm trying to, I'm confused. And what clowns like Matt Walsh want to do is just put up a narrative.
This ain't got nothing to do with race. This is, this was supposed, like I said, this is someone who was aggressive, was met with aggression.
When you know how to talk, all he had to do was, yo, you don't belong here. You know, da-da-da-da, woo-woo, hey man, you know, this is our thing.
This, that, and third. You got to go, man.

This is where we at.

This is our tit or whatever.

This is where our stuff at.

You know, you don't belong here.

You know what I mean?

It could have been that simple.

It could have been that simple.

And maybe the young man would have got up and left,

but you don't know that because if you just come out being disrespectful and coming with that aggression, man, you better get your ass away from here. You better leave.
You better move. This is our tent.
What the fuck you doing here? Now it's not a, now it's, oh, well, make me leave. Since you want to come like you want to bully me or something like that.
Okay, all right. Well, yeah, yeah.

Well, you know what?

I'm coming.

I'm going to push you out the way.

I'm going to push you.

And then you come pushing and shoving.

You keep touching me.

Put your hands on me.

Keep touching.

And then I pull a knife out and stab you in the chest.

Now you want to cry wolf.

Like I said, in the streets, that's justified.

But in the court of law, it's not going to be self-defense.

And the young man made a mistake. He made a mistake.
You know what I mean? And he only stabbed him one time, so Obvious wasn't really trying to... And, you know, he made a mistake, and it was uncalled for, and he shouldn't have had that knife with him.
uncalled for. Understating it slightly.

Now, you say he made a mistake by stabbing austin no sir a mistake is opening your car door too wide and scratching the car next to you in the parking lot a mistake is turning a corner in a hallway and bumping into somebody stabbing a guy directly in the heart is not a mistake it's a deliberate and premeditated act of homicide um the fact that he only stabbed him once in the heart is irrelevant. I mean, that's like saying, well, he only cut his head off once, right? It only takes once.
Second, you say that stabbing a guy for disrespecting you is justified in the streets. Yes, exactly.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. That is precisely the problem.
The fact that stabbing a guy and killing him is considered justified in the streets is the entire point that I'm trying to make. Because when you say in the streets, what you really mean is in black culture.
Now, because I know you don't mean necessarily in the literal physical streets, although maybe there too. And you're definitely not talking about in the streets of a white, upper middle class neighborhood.
No, you're talking about in a black neighborhood, in the streets of a black neighborhood. In a black neighborhood, according to you, it is justified to kill a man for perceived disrespect.
Yes, and that's the problem. That's the problem with the streets, isn't it? Next, we have a guy named Alfonso, who I guess, from what I could tell, fashions himself some kind of conservative, but he's very upset with me also and says that I am, in fact, a liability, whatever that means.
But let's listen. Matt Walsh is a liability in terms of the so-called race narrative.

Okay.

Long story short, as far as Matt Walsh is concerned, black folks just have this innate problem of being violent. Okay.
That's how Matt Walsh wants you to perceive us. Now, Matt wants to, I guess he's, hey, man,'s he's the the the authority on on what it is to be black and how we're supposed to behave.
And I'm pretty sure the bell curve satisfies him and stuff like that. But what Mack Walsh fails to point out to y'all is who has control of the black community? Well, that would be the Democrat Party.
All right. Black folks ain't this way just because it's just something in our genes.
I mean, heck, man, if you want it, it's funny how you want to make it out to be that this is a problem with black folks. The world over, you know who they're afraid of the most? White people.
They're afraid of white people the most. I'm not saying that it's justified, but heck, man, when you consider the Nazis, when you consider the Vikings, when you consider the KKK that we had here, the stigma that's on white people, that's something that they did to themselves.
Well, Alfonso, if you're still worried about a ship full of Vikings showing up and ransacking your village, that's really a you problem. And I'd say the same if you're worried about the Nazis or the KKK.
Hey, Alfonso, do you have any examples of the white menace from this century? You gave me one from about 10 centuries ago and then two others that haven't been relevant since before the middle of the last century. And by the way, if we're blaming white people for the Nazis, we also have to give white people credit for beating the Nazis.
So it's basically a wash in that case. Historically speaking, it's just not remotely true that white people have been the most violent or uniquely violent.
That is a fantasy that you keep alive in your head, Alfonso, because you've never read a history book in your life. Non-white regions of the world have been very, very violent since the beginning of recorded history and long before that.
And by the way, do you know who first abolished slavery? Do you know who, in fact, abolished slavery over the objections of Africans and Arabs? That would be white Europeans. Now, as for the violence in the black community being the fault of Democrats, I certainly agree that Democrat policies have made everything worse.
You will not hear any objections from me on that point, but I noticed that in your analysis of who's to blame for violence in the black community, the one group you seem to have let off the hook is the black community. We got you talking about Democrats and Vikings, and you're going all the way back a thousand years to look for.
What about the actual people in these communities? Is it crazy to suggest that perhaps black people are also responsible for violence committed by black people? Is there any connection here at all that you might notice? You just said that the alleged reputation that white people have for violence is one that we did to ourselves, quote unquote, because of the Vikings a thousand years ago. So let me get this straight.
White people are responsible for our supposed reputation for violence, but black people aren't responsible for theirs. I'm more responsible for the raping and pillaging done by Viking warriors in the year 950 A.D.
than the black community is for the raping and pillaging done by black criminals in the current year we're actually living in? Does that make sense to you, Alfonso? If Democrat leaders in predominantly black cities are bad, and they are, who elected them? Who are the voters electing these incompetent people to lead them? If a politician in a predominantly black city runs on a platform of law and order, he will lose. Why is that?

Who are the voters who automatically reject any political leader who promises to actually arrest criminals and punish them? And if fatherless homes are a major driver of crime in the black community, and they are, who are the fathers abandoning their families? Who are the mothers going around and sleeping with men that they aren't married to? These are self-inflicted problems. And if you aren't ready to admit that, then you aren't ready to have this conversation at all.
Have you ever come across someone saying that capitalism is evil or something similar, maybe in a video online on TV or just talking with someone? What was your reaction if you did?

Here's a video from an account that, and I just like this one because the account is called Empathy Wins, but it apparently did not win in this video. Watch.
Matt Walsh and all of America know that most school shooters are young white men. Matt Walsh and all of America know that most serial killers in the United States are white men.

So much so that our own writers of horror fiction are always casting the slasher in a slasher film as a white man to match the statistics. I'm sorry.
Let me see if I have this right. You think that when Hollywood is making slasher horror films,

that they are studiously making sure that the proportion of white killers in those movies matches real life crime statistics? That's how you think this works? You think Friday the 13th is a documentary? Well, just to clear things up, no, that's not how it works. Hollywood always casts white men as the killers because if they cast black villains, then people like you will throw a hissy fit.
If there was a slasher horror film where you've got a black killer killing white people, people like you would lose your minds. Unless at the end of it, it turns out that the black killer was justified because all the people that he was killing were racist.
And that's the only time that it would be okay. In reality, according to the Radford University FJFGCU serial killer database, between the years of 1900 and 2010, 52% of serial killers were white and 40% were black.
That means that black people are hugely overrepresented among serial killers and whites are underrepresented, which means that there are more black serial killers per capita than white, actually. In fact, two of the deadliest serial killers this century were the Beltway Snipers, which I remember that well because I lived in that general area when this was happening, shot and killed 17 people in 2002.
They were both black. So your facts are just wrong.
There's not much else to say. Let's play one more so that now we can finally deal with, because this has come up in almost every video now, is the mass shooter.
Mass shooters, mass shooters, mass shooters are white. So we'll finally deal with that claim.
Watch. Matt Walsh is a bloated, rotten corpse, but he is a perfect reflection of everything wrong with American conservatives and American racists.
Because white people shoot up schools at a larger percentage than anyone else. But if I go around assuming that white culture leads to school shootings, that would be an insane statement to make.
But it's not insane that when one boy, teenage boy, stabs another teenage boy to defunct an entire culture of people, that's not insane. White people are the only ones allowed to be individuals who have their own problems and who can be blamed individually for issues.
Because the moment a black person does anything wrong, now the whole black race has to jump in.

All right. You know, of course, white people are never blamed for anything as a group.
That never happens. When's the last time you heard anyone blame white people as a group? You know, it's like, it's not like blaming white people as a group is the favorite pastime of people like the one in that video there.
Okay. As for mass shootings, according to a Washington Post database, 38% of mass shooters, 38% are white, which means again, that white people are vastly underrepresented among mass shooters.
29% are black, which means black people are again, greatly overrepresented. There are more black mass shooters per capita than there are white.

And get this, if you narrow it down to school shootings in particular, meaning shootings that happen at a school, right? That's a school shooting, shooting at a school, regardless of the casualty count, shooting at a school. Well, you'll find that according to a 2023 study titled Characteristics and Obtainment Methods of Firearms Used in Adolescent School Shootings, 58% of school shooters were black.
Only 28% were white. Again, there are more, many more black school shooters per capita than white.
In fact, not even per capita with school shooters. There are more black school shooters, period, than white.
So those are the facts. And going back to the other video about Hollywood and movies, the fact that everyone assumes that all mass shooters and all school shooters are white, that it's a uniquely white thing or that white people are more likely to be mass shooters or school shooters, people assume that entirely because of Hollywood movies portraying it that way, and because the news media will just ignore mass shootings and even school shootings that are perpetrated by non-white people for the most part.
So am I accusing black culture of cultivating violence because of one stabbing? No, I'm accusing it of cultivating violence because literally every category of violence, no matter how you break it down, is led by the black community. I'm accusing it of cultivating violence because black people are only 13% of the population, but more than half of all murderers.
You know, if only 13% of murder suspects were black, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If it was even 15% or 20%, it probably wouldn't be enough of a disparity to be worth pointing out.
But we're not talking about that. We're talking about half, 50%, half from 13% of the population.
That is a staggering number. That's historic.
It's mind boggling. It's baffling.
It's unprecedented. Now, Now, I wish that the numbers were not like this.

Despite- Now, I wish that the numbers were not like this. Despite how I am portrayed by people like the ones in these videos, I don't want this to be the case.
I wish we didn't have to talk about this. I wish it wasn't as bad as this.
I wish it wasn't the case that every majority black community in the country is plagued by violent crime. I wish it wasn't the case that as a neighborhood or shopping mall or movie theater or anything attracts more black people, it also in every case, every time becomes less safe and more crime ridden.
I wish that wasn't true, but it just is true. And you can have the courage to face it, or you can cover your eyes and plug your ears and shout the word racist at anyone who tries to talk about it.
The choice is yours. But if you choose the latter, you are choosing more death and more destruction and more misery.
That's your choice. At least have the guts to be honest about it.

And that's why all the people screaming at me for being honest about these issues are today canceled.
