	Every mass shooter, every one of them is white.
	The moment a black person does anything wrong, now the whole black race has to jump in.
	The events of the last few weeks seem to have sparked a renewed conversation about the threat posed by, in the words of a recent USA Today headline, white violence.
	These concerns, which are being expressed in spite of the fact that the Atlanta shooter was not motivated by race and the Boulder shooter wasn't even white, though all of his victims were, all stem from an alleged pandemic of white brutality, in the words of another headline.
	A quick trip through Google will pull up countless articles and editorials with phrases like white rage and weaponized whiteness and the threat of whiteness.
	As Kamala Harris's niece, Mina Harris, put it in a now-deleted tweet, violent white men are the greatest terror threat to our country.
	The website MLive in Michigan has a story this week about black people in Michigan who are afraid to walk through the suburbs for fear of violence from whites.
	In Michigan, it's reported that increasing numbers of black people are purchasing guns in order to defend themselves against dastardly white men.
	Now, the message from all this is clear.
	White people are dangerous and uniquely so.
	We're meant to believe, or at least to shut up and pretend we believe, that white violence is a serious problem in this country and that much of that violence is interracial.
	Now, as the media tries its hardest to stir up panic over the hordes of murderous, bloodthirsty white men supposedly roaming our streets, it becomes necessary to introduce some truth and sanity into the picture.
	Fortunately, the FBI, for the time being, at least until the woke mob demands that they take it down, has homicide statistics organized into handy charts and available on their website.
	You can go look at it yourself.
	A look at those charts shows, first, that the vast majority of murder is intra-racial.
	That is, in the lion's share of cases, one member of a race is killing another member of the same race.
	So in 2019, there were 3,299 white victims of murder, of which 2,594 were killed by other white people.
	There were 2,906 black victims of murder, of which 2,574 were killed by other black people.
	Given the sort of wanton slaughter between races and ethnicities that you find in other parts of the world and throughout other periods in history, it's quite remarkable actually how little interracial violence we actually have in this country, though the race spaters on the left are doing what they can to change that.
	As for interracial murder, that is murder between different races, the statistics just as clearly show that whites fall victim to that far more often than any other race.
	In 2019, 566 whites were killed by blacks as opposed to 246 blacks killed by whites.
	The numbers are very similar throughout all other years in recent history.
	Again, you can go look at this yourself.
	Outlets like Reuters have run fact checks on memes and social media posts that make exactly the claim that I just made, which is based entirely on publicly available FBI data.
	And Reuters determined that the claims are somehow still false, or at least misleading.
	Maybe they'll say that about what I'm, maybe this, this, what I'm doing right now is going to get a fact check and they're going to say it's wrong.
	Now, how do they do that?
	Well, they explain that though it's true that more white people fall victim to interracial murder, it's also true that given the population disparities, black people are more likely to fall victim to interracial murder.
	Now, that's technically correct, though it's nonsensical to accuse someone of stating a falsehood just because they didn't frame the statistical data in the way that you subjectively prefer.
	You take any data point, there are different ways of framing it, all of which could be true.
	What the fact checkers on the internet will do is they have one particular framing that they want to see.
	And if you don't frame it that way, they're going to fact check you and say that what you're saying is false, even if it's true.
	The problem, though, is that the more likely knife cuts both ways.
	See, if we say that blacks are more likely to fall victims than whites, we must also say that blacks, again, given the difference in population size, are significantly more likely to victimize whites.
	Any given black person is more likely to die by violence, even violence from a white person.
	But he's also more likely to be the one committing violence.
	That's what the statistics indisputably show.
	Those are just the facts.
	That's it.
	There's no way to frame the numbers that will get around the simple facts of the matter.
	The problem of interracial violence in America, though comparatively small, and we should be grateful for that, is a problem being driven much more by non-white people than by white people.
	Non-white people are committing the majority of interracial violence and also intra-racial violence.
	And it's not even that close.
	If black people in Michigan or anywhere else are running to arm themselves for fear of homicidal whites, that fear is purely the product of media fabrication.
	It has no foundation in reality.
	None.
	What's the point of presenting this information?
	Why bother citing FBI homicide statistics?
	Well, because first of all, the truth matters, I think.
	I think it matters for its own sake.
	When someone like Jessica Valenti claims, as she did in a post on Medium, that, quote, young white male rage is the biggest threat to our country, she has no facts supporting her whatsoever.
	She has only her feelings, her perceptions, what she wishes were true, what she thinks ought to be true.
	Truth again matters for its own sake and must be asserted and asserted again and reasserted in the face of lies and false narratives.
	And we must keep absorbing it every single time.
	We're all feeling it.
	Costs are rising on everything, gas, groceries, home repairs.
	And if you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt?
	And you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have.
	Well, listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more.
	That's the math that nobody wants to face, but it's costing you thousands of dollars.
	Here's the truth.
	If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years.
	And that's why people are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of 800 bucks a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt.
	You owe it to your family to see what's possible.
	No upfront fees, no pressure.
	It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month.
	If you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments.
	Call American Financing today, 866-569-4711.
	That's 866-569-4711 or visit americanfinancing.net slash Walsh.
	Within the last few months, apparently, a couple of job applicants at Sheets filed complaints with the EEOC saying that they've been discriminated against under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
	And the EEOC, which is a federal agency, agreed with them.
	And here's what the Biden administration wrote in their lawsuit.
	Quote, Sheets committed a continuing company-wide practice in violation of Title VII with respect to a class of black, American, Indian, Alaska Native, and multiracial job applicants who did not pass Sheets' criminal justice history screening by failing to hire them for all positions because of race.
	For instance, black job applicants have failed defendants' criminal justice history screening and consequently are denied employment at a rate exceeding approximately 14.5%, while white job applicants have failed the criminal justice history screening and consequently are denied employment at a rate of under approximately 8%.
	The complaint notes that the number of Indians and multiracial applicants who are denied on this basis is roughly the same.
	Now, a few points here.
	First, given what we know about black crime rates, these numbers are actually a lot closer to each other than you would expect.
	There's less of a disparity than you would expect.
	Nationally, according to FBI data, black people make up more than 26% of total arrests, and the imprisonment rate for black Americans is over five times the rate for whites.
	But the Sheets data only shows a disparity of around 7%.
	And according to the EEOC, Sheets is looking at both convictions as well as arrests when it runs its background checks.
	And more importantly, you notice what's being conflated here.
	The complaint states that Sheets is failing to hire these applicants because of race.
	But what they're really saying is that Sheets isn't hiring applicants who failed a criminal background check.
	They don't want criminals working for them.
	Any reasonable person can see that these two are very different rationales.
	And indeed, on its website, the EOC makes this distinction clear.
	They state, quote, the lawsuit does not allege that Sheets was motivated by race when making hiring decisions.
	I mean, and that should be the end of it.
	Even the people filing the lawsuit are saying that race was not a factor.
	But it's not the end of it because this is a sort of madness that the legal theory of disparate impact breeds.
	You know, the left knows that it can't find any examples of actual direct discrimination against black people in this country, certainly not at Sheets.
	They know they're not going to find any example of any company or any major corporation or company of any size that has a policy in place saying, we're not going to hire you because you're black.
	They're not going to find that.
	So, but they're also not going to say, well, okay, well, then I guess anti-black discrimination isn't really a problem.
	We'll move on.
	They're not going to say that either.
	So instead, the left has invented this notion of disparate impact to create discrimination where it doesn't really exist.
	Independence Day isn't about fireworks and barbecues.
	It's about what made America worth celebrating in the first place, truth.
	And right now, truth is under siege.
	While leftist mobs riots in the street, burning cars, looting stores, and throwing rocks, we're told to sit down, shut up, and call it progress.
	We don't have the luxury of being passive anymore.

	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.
	You know, the other one only wants me to die in a car accident, but this guy is open to really anything causing my death, 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 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 will 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 clan.
	I mean, it's coming from Matt Walsh, who is basically straight up clan.
	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 clan 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 white, 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.
	We'll move over to TikTok and look at one or two more.
	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.
	That's the only time that it would be okay.
	In reality, according to the Radford University FGCU 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 shoot.
	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?
