We Said What Needed to Be Said
TheQuartering Exclusive: We recently uploaded a video that’s stirring up a necessary conversation, tackling uncomfortable truths that mainstream media often avoids. In this segment, we delved into critical issues following a tragic incident in Texas, where a young man lost his life over a seating dispute. Matt Walsh ignited a firestorm online with a tweet that many instantly understood but few dare to say publicly: that when a young man is killed for a minor disagreement and the races of the individuals involved are known, assumptions about the aggressor are almost universally correct. Walsh stated that young black males are aggressive to a wildly disproportionate degree, a fact he believes it’s time to speak honestly about. This isn’t about #notall black people, but a specific demographic where the data paints a stark picture. His tweet, which garnered a staggering 140,000 likes, clearly resonated with a large audience.
We wholeheartedly agree with Walsh’s sentiment. It’s crucial to confront uncomfortable “hate facts” if we ever hope to see change. Jason Whitlock has also been vocal on these issues, raising pertinent questions about media hypocrisy. He questioned whether the tragic death of this young man, a “good citizen,” would receive the same level of attention and outrage as the death of George Floyd. Whitlock astutely pointed out the discrepancy in media coverage and public outcry, asking if NFL players would kneel in protest for this young man as they did for George Floyd. He also highlighted the disturbing fact that the perpetrator even carried a knife, suggesting a deeper issue that often goes unexamined in mainstream narratives.
Whitlock also drew a chilling parallel to the case of Ethan Lyman, a young white high school football player in Akron, Ohio, who was killed by young black men and whose case received significantly less national attention. The perpetrators in that case, we noted, received a mere 18 months in prison. This disparity in attention and justice is something we must address.
Following these crucial points raised by Walsh and Whitlock, we presented some eye-opening statistics – facts that many are afraid to discuss, and for which we are prepared to face potential censorship. We cited FBI crime data from 2019, revealing that while black men constitute only 5.7% of the total US population, they account for nearly 40% of all violent crime. Even if we include all black individuals, who make up 14.4% of the population, their involvement in violent crime remains disproportionately high.
It’s true that in total numbers, more white people are arrested for violent crimes. However, the crucial point, the “word of the day” as we emphasized, is per capita. The per capita rate of violent crime committed by young black men is alarmingly higher than other demographics. Furthermore, data from 2010 to 2020 shows that 14,689 white people lost their lives to a black person, while the number of black individuals killed by white people, despite the latter making up a larger percentage of the population, is less than half of that figure.
We also tackled the common narrative that socioeconomic factors are the primary driver of black crime. Our research indicated that poor blacks commit crimes at 300% the rate of whites, while rich blacks commit crime at five times the rate of whites. This strongly suggests that the issue is more complex than simply poverty.
We firmly believe, and stated in our video, that while external factors play a role, the solution ultimately lies within the black community itself. This isn’t about inherent racial traits, but about culture, upbringing, and the prevalence of fatherless homes. We emphasized the need to stop glorifying gangster culture and start instilling self-worth in young black men. When young men are constantly told that white people are the source of their problems and that their lives have little value, it can contribute to a tragic cycle of violence.
Everything we presented in our video is based on factual data and cited sources. We are committed to having honest, albeit uncomfortable, conversations because we believe it’s the only way to foster real change. We don’t want to see young black men filling our prisons and destroying their lives, nor do we want to see the continued victimization of anyone. Until we can openly discuss these issues without fear of being labeled racist or facing censorship, progress will remain elusive. This is a problem that requires honest dialogue and solutions driven from within the affected community. We stand by our video and the facts presented.
