Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Listening to Wray, one came away with the impression that right-wing terrorism was our foremost internal security issue, that the Jan. 6 riot was a manifestation of that terrorism, and that white supremacists top the list of dangerous enemies inside our own country.
“Unfortunately, Jan. 6 was not an isolated event,” warned FBI Director Christopher Wray last winter:
“The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it’s not going away anytime soon.”
Since he became director in 2017, said Wray, FBI domestic terrorism investigations had doubled in number to more than 2,000, and FBI investigations of white supremacists had tripled.
Listening to Wray, one came away with the impression that right-wing terrorism was our foremost internal security issue, that the Jan. 6 riot was a manifestation of that terrorism, and that white supremacists top the list of dangerous enemies inside our own country.
The vast turnout of police and press for the Sept. 18 protest on the Mall to demand fairness for the Jan. 6 “patriots” suggested that our elites shared Wray’s alarm.
All seemed disappointed when the brownshirts failed to show up.
Yet, with this week’s release of FBI statistics on violent crime in America, showing a record 30% surge in homicides in 2020 over 2019, questions arise.
What caused the number of U.S. victims of murder and manslaughter to explode by almost 5,000 last year to reach a total of 21,500? Why are homicides rising another 10% this year? Why are murders and manslaughters rising so dramatically in the USA?
For that number of killings, 21,500 in 2021, is three times the number of U.S. soldiers dead in 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The New York Times and Washington Post both made the FBI figures front-page news. And the Times gave some insight as to who the victims of homicide in this country were and are.
Here is the relevant passage in the Times story:
“The (FBI) report … breaks down last year’s homicide victims by race, ethnicity and sex, although not all law enforcement agencies provided such data. Of the people killed in 2020, at least 9,913 were Black, 7,029 were white, 497 were from other races and 315 were of unknown race. There were at least 14,146 men killed and 3,573 women.”
The startling number here: There were nearly 3,000 more Black victims who wound up dead in America from criminal violence than there were white victims, though Blacks, at 12-13% of the U.S. population, are only one-fifth the size of the white population.
Translation: Black Americans are being shot, stabbed and beaten to death at a rate six to seven times that of whites. And by the end of this year, well over 10,000 Blacks will have been made the victims of homicide in America.
That figure breaks down to roughly 200 Black folks dead every single week in this country from gunshot wounds and other criminal violence — a weekly death toll that rivals U.S. losses in Vietnam at the height of the war.
The question unanswered and unasked in the Times’ and Post’s stories is: Who is doing this? Who is killing all these Black people?
If, as the slogan proclaims, “Black lives matter,” why is there not greater public alarm at BLM in who is killing so many Black people?
About the number of dead in the infamous Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, histories and historians differ. Some say the number of Black victims was no more than 30. Others say it was as high as 300.
But, again, in one year, the number of Blacks killed in violent crimes in America, 3-in-4 by gunshots, will exceed 10,000.
Who is doing this? How many of these Black folks are victims of the right-wing extremists and white supremacists that Wray sees as our greatest domestic security threat?
How many Blacks in 2021 and this year were victims of the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers or 3 Percenters or neo-Nazis or the Klan?
If rogue white cops are the scourge of Black America, as we have been instructed to believe, how many killings of unarmed Blacks were done by white cops this year and last?
In 2020, homicides in Washington, D.C., rose for the third straight year, reaching almost 200, the deadliest year in the city since 2004. More than 920 people were shot in 2020, a 64% increase from three years ago. Again, how many of these Washington shootings, averaging three a day, were the lethal work of Washington white supremacists?
Within the Post and Times there were explanations offered for the 30% surge in homicides. Among them were the proliferation of guns and gun ownership, and the “police legitimacy crisis.”
In the wake of George Floyd’s death, “Defund the Police!” became the chant of 100 leftist protests.
Police funds were cut. Elites turned hostile to cops they once hailed as “first responders.” Demoralized, many police ceased to be proactive. Police resignations and retirements came in record numbers.
When the peace forces in our society were morally disarmed, their natural enemies, the criminal element, seized the opportunity.

Ummm…other blacks?
We would have also accepted “other niggers” as a correct answer.
WTF was the point of PB article? Of course its the kneegros killig each other off.
Couple of years ago, I did similar research, downloaded all the FBI / DOJ stats.
The two stats that stood out, one Pat mentions is the ratio Black deaths are 7X Whites.
The other stat was 89% of Black homicides were inflicted by another Black person.
Add to those two stats the following:
There is real genocide occurring in Black culture; there is absolute silence.
Hispanics and Whites are not far behind….
DOJ, FBI, DoD all say the number one problem is White Rage – Whites are being played.
I never thought I would say this but thank goodness for that. Can you imagine our country had all those aborted blacks lived? One judges on not what one says but does and the blacks don’t do what they say. Like my selective tourette’s swearing I am selective pro abortion when it comes to blacks. Like the facts state: more blacks, more crime and death.
Yup. Obvious conclusion. Thank God for Kermit Gosnell. Need thousands more just like him.
Do not forget–even this article unwittingly spreads the misinformation– since 2010 they started counting Hispanic crime as white crime ( that’s why the non-white or non-black numbers are so tiny)
White murders are 1/12th of blacks and blacks violent crime is 60x greater than whites when population is also factored in…….
Once again, Buchanan misses the real tragedy. He wrote,
“There were at least 14,146 men killed and 3,573 women.”
I demand equality in deaths. Something must be done to bring up those female numbers.
There’s two solutions, one is to reduce one factor, the other is to increase the other. More is always better, as Blackie will tell you while searching your house.
His column is written by the government. The only thing he is missing is a nap and a diaper change.
Imagine disagreeing with Ken’s self evident truth to the extent you click the Thumbs Down button.
I demand equality in deaths. Something must be done to bring up those female numbers.
I’ll allow it.
Patriarchy ain’t what it used to be. ;0
Apparently the reason black lives matter is the shortage of dead niggers. With the cops out of the way they can correct that. No?
Blacks are not like us. They have poor future planning, low intelligence, and an unshakeable predilection for lethal violence.
We should not be forced to have them amongst us. That is the real takeaway from the endemic black criminality and carnage.
Good old Pat, riding forth in his cardboard and tin foil armor to do battle with straw-stuffed paper dragons!
Joggers gonna jog…..
Just a test

Blacks are the foot soliders for the “bikers”
You can further fractionate that when considering males are more prone to violence and that violence is more common means of conflict resolution in those 15 -45 years old (no stats, just a guess). Blacks comprise +/- 13% of the US population but it is the younger black males who are more likely to commit violence. Effectively +/- 6% of the US population is responsible for the majority of murders when the race of the offender is known.
Those stats by age and race are in the FBI stats, you are not too far off from what I remember.
Basically under 35 yo Black males #1 threat is another under 35 yo Black male, that cohort is under 3% of the population.
What’s never mentioned is the black on white violence that’s out of control.
Ask Colin Flaherty about da numbas.
Dindus killing other dindus.
Who cares?
That’s the wonderful thing about dindus (and muslims);
If you just leave them alone, they’ll kill each other.
funny video (sort of) 15 seconds
White supremacists are really good at planning and committing murder against blacks. They have an uncanny ability to go into the hood and kill blacks and never be seen. Even if you disagree with killing blacks you have to admire the supremacists proficiency at terrorism.
And the small numbers of people killed by “White Supremacists” are mostly prison gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood killing OTHER Whites IN PRISON. But the from the language Wray and other D.C. sewer rats use, you’d think Klan members are roaming the streets of America preying on poor, poor blacks. Disgusting.
