Who Is Killing 10,000 Black Americans Every Year?
By Patrick J. Buchanan | October 1, 2021 | 4:39am EDT
"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.

1,606 People Shot June thru August in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago
Over 1,600 people were shot June 2021 through August 2021 in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
CNN reported 1,606 were shot, with 261 of the shooting victims dying from their wounds.
They noted 770 people were killed in Chicago throughout all of 2020 and the city is on track to surpass that number.
John Lausch, U.S. Attorney for the North District of Illinois noted that one of the reasons for the shootings is that offenders do not fear consequences.
Lausch said, “People are emboldened, our violent offenders are, they’re not afraid of getting caught and they’re not afraid of the consequences of when they’re caught.”
CNN points out black victims are predominant, “As of mid-June, the homicide rate for Black Chicagoans was nine times higher than for any other demographic.”
HeyJackass.com notes 2991 people have been shot and wounded in Lightfoot’s Chicago this year, and another 622 have been shot and killed.
Over 90 people were shot and killed in Chicago during the month of September.
Chicago recently placed “Bleeding Control Kits” in certain places in the city, giving gunshot victims “a tourniquet, gauze, shears, gloves and an instruction manual on how to best use,” the Hill reported

40 Shot During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Forty people were shot, three of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported that the most recent of the fatal shootings was discovered shortly after 10:30 p.m. Sunday, when police found 44-year-old Edward Hudson lying “in the 600-block of East 92nd Place.” Edwards had been shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 43-year-old man was shot in the head and fatally wounded during a drive-by attack at 3 p.m. “in the 3400-block of West Douglas Boulevard.” The man was standing by an apartment building when a car rolled up and someone in the vehicle opened fire.
WGN-TV noted that a 27-year-old man was shot Sunday morning at 3:35 a.m., while sitting in a parked vehicle with two other individuals “in the 1200 block of North Dearborn Street.” The man was transported to a hospital in critical condition and “was later pronounced dead.”
Breitbart News explained that more than 1,600 people were shot in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago from June 2021 through August 2021 alone.
CNN pointed out that 261 of the shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
HeyJackass.com observed that 623 people have been and killed in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago thus far in 2021.

Houston Man Wielding Baseball Bat Tracks Down Alleged Murderer and Carjacker
A Houston man severely injured during a carjacking gone array in May witnessed a similar incident on September 29, where a woman was dragged to death by a carjacker after her seatbelt had trapped her in the Uvalde area of Houston. The man tracked down the suspect with a baseball bat and prevented the suspect from fleeing until police arrived on the scene.
On May 26, Lewis Matos was ordering car parts at his desk at AAMCO Transmissions in the Uvalde area of Houston when a car burst through the wall sending Matos flying across the room and trapping him underneath his desk, according to ABC 13.
“Here I was, laying on the floor in horrific pain. I was pinned by this desk,” Matos told ABC 13.
The carjackers, Juan Mendez and Jaritza Chavarria, exited the vehicle and attempted to shoot Matos while trapped underneath his desk. Five months later, Matos is still suffering from injuries related to the crash, he told ABC 13.
On September 29, Matos was in the Uvalde area and witnessed another carjacking in action when he allegedly saw Marcus Wayne Brock, 55, forcibly remove Jessica Garza, 41, from her car.
“I jumped in my car, (I) didn’t even think. All I kept thinking was ‘he’s not getting away,” Matos told ABC 13.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said Garza was dragged for roughly four or five blocks as the suspect crashed into six different vehicles, killing Garza, KHOU reported. Brock sped down the block while the driver’s side seatbelt trapped Garza. Brock began to flee the scene once the car stopped.
“Unfortunately, she was deceased due to the accident and the fact that she was unable to get herself out of the vehicle due to the seat belt,” said Houston Police Department Capt. Belinda Null, according to KHOU.
“I was mortified. When I picked up that piece of signage that was on top of her in the car, and I saw what he did to her, I was enraged,” Matos told ABC.
Matos continued to look for Brock while wielding a baseball bat and found him inside a close-by liquor store. Matos stood with his bat in hand and blocked Brock from exiting until police arrived.
“It gets kind of tedious watching everybody always getting away,” Matos told ABC.
Brock has been charged with capital murder, according to a tweet from the Houston Police Department:
Garza’s daughter shared a touching tribute about her mother on the family’s GoFundMe page for Garza’s funeral:
Life without my mother is definitely going to be a challenge. She made me out to be such a strong woman and I know the Lord will continue to give me the strength to get through this tragedy. I have to be there for my two younger brothers and my loving father. She made such an impact on everyone. She touch the hearts of everyone she met. She had such a huge heart and was always willing to be a helping hand to others. She volunteered her time at our community church, St.Andrew Catholic church, she had many friends, and overall was loved by everyone. Jessica dedicated her life to her children, husband, family, work, and to the lord.
Donations on the GoFundMe page tally $24,583, which is north of the family’s $20,000 goal.
Black Lives Matter Killed 2,000 Black People
The number of black murder victims rose 62% in one year.
[Order David Horowitz's forthcoming (October 5th) book, which exposes the BLM movement: I Can’t Breathe: How A Racial Hoax is Killing America.]
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
The Black Lives Matter movement and the allied criminal justice reform movement which opened jails and decriminalized crimes led to a nearly 30% surge in murders in 2020.
The 29.4% increase is historically unprecedented.
The worst one-year percentage jump in murders was a 12.7% increase in 1968 during a crime wave that led Democrats and Republicans to embrace tough on crime policies. 1968 was the year that LBJ signed the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act into law. But the opposite happened in 2020 as Democrats and some libertarian Republicans colluded to dismantle the criminal justice system, open up the jails, and endorse Black Lives Matter.
The pro-crimers have the blood of thousands on their hands.
The FBI’s numbers are in and they show that Black Lives Matter and its corporate backers killed more black people in one year than anything short of an African civil war.
3,595 black people were murdered in 2019. But in 2020, 5,839 black people were murdered.
That's an additional 2,244 black people killed.
56% of the murder victims of 2020 were black.
While people of all races were more likely to be murdered in the year of Black Lives Matter, black people were disproportionately likely to be killed as a result of police defunding and the George Floyd Effect, as well as the pressure on the justice system to open up prisons, free criminals, and stop arresting new criminals in the name of fighting for the big lie of racial justice.
3,060 white and Latino people were killed in 2019, which rose to 4,167 in 2020. The 36% increase is devastating, but the number of black people murdered in 2020 shot up 62%.
The 62% increase in the murders of black people should be the headline in every single media outlet which currently treats the lack of black classical musicians or chefs as a major crisis.
While statistics like 135 "unarmed" black people being shot by police in 5 years becomes a cause for massive riots, violent assaults on innocent people, and the defunding of the police, a 62% increase in the murders of black people won’t even get a mention from the same media which regales us with claims that car accidents are racist because of disproportionate impact.
The 62% increase in the murders of black people is the biggest disproportionate impact statistic.
If the 2,244 black people had been shot by white people, Asian people, or Republicans, we could talk about it. Indeed, the odds are that we would never talk about anything else. Ever.
But unfortunately it’s the devastating result of black-on-black crime.
Black perpetrators were responsible for 5,832 murders or approximately 50% of the murders despite making up only around 13% of the population.
White people and Latinos who make up 76% of the country accounted for 3,981 homicides or 34%. American Indians were responsible for 116 murders and Asians for only 65 murders.
Black people both commit murders and are the victims of murders at disproportionate rates.
There is no escaping these facts.
Coddling criminals and defunding police hurts people of all races, but black people are the ones suffering the worst from the gang members and criminals in their communities.
The number of black murderers rose 38% from 4,208 to 5,832. That’s a sharp increase in black murderers, but it’s dwarfed by the 62% increase in black murders. The number of black crime victims is rising much faster than the number of black criminals.
Black people are becoming victims at higher rates than they are becoming criminals.
That is exactly why it was black communities who originally championed a crackdown on crime, why the NAACP had originally demanded the death penalty for drug dealers, and why black people are still far more likely to oppose police defunding and other pro-crime measures.
Even in the one category of violent crime, rape, that decreased overall in 2020, that was true of every group except one where the number of black rape victims defied the trend.
But black rape victims, like black lives, don’t matter to Black Lives Matter.
In Israel, the hashtag Arab Lives Matter took off after the rise in arab-on-arab crime to demand that Israeli police stop the criminals. In the United States, Black Lives Matter is a demand that the police allow gang members to shoot up black neighborhoods with no interference.
The additional 2,244 dead black people are a tribute to Black Lives Matter’s efforts.
While Robin DiAngelo cashes in preaching the cult of anti-racism, and suburban white liberals search their souls for systemic racism, what’s really destroying black people is in the numbers.
5,839 black people were murdered in one year.
Homicide doesn't even make the CDC's top 10 causes of death for men in America, but it's number four for black men. In 2017, it caused 5% of the deaths of black men, more than strokes, diabetes, or most diseases. The only things more likely to kill black men than black-on-black crime are heart disease, cancer, and accidents.
Among black men under the age of 20, homicide is the leading cause of death at 35.3%.
(Those were 2017 numbers, the 2020 numbers, if they’re released, will be much worse.)
It's also the leading cause of death for black men from 20-44 years old at 27.6%.
Only at the age of 65 does homicide drop out of the top 10 causes of death for black men.
There are no such numbers among any other group, including black women. They reflect a high rate of gang violence, drug dealing, and violent crime among a subset of black men. This crisis is not news. There has been ample research on the subject going back generations that the new wokeness decided to shut down, suppress, and penalize anyone who mentioned it.
In 2020, the Left used George Floyd’s overdose death to initiate a massive cultural revolution, supposedly on behalf of black people, but in reality to spread terror and seize power.
Just as the proletariat paid the price for the leftist revolutions conducted on behalf of the working class, black men are paying the price for the latest revolution being waged on their behalf. The people paying the price may be ordinary, or they may be gang members themselves. The dismantling of the criminal justice system also led to an unprecedented expansion in crime that recruited a generation of black teens into drug dealing, robbery, and carjacking. The police now routinely arrest armed carjackers as young as twelve years old as part of the new crime wave.
Even if a new anti-crime consensus is forged between conservative Republicans and moderate Democrats who shed the madness of criminal justice reform, the damage will be hard to fix.
Cracking down on crime increased property values in black areas, led to a growth in black small businesses, and made it more possible for black teens to go to college, and earn higher incomes. Black Lives Matter calculatedly undermined many of those achievements. The teens whom teachers’ unions kept out of school, joined gangs, and began to deal and steal will find it much harder to build stable lives. The women they might have married and the families they might have built are more casualties. It is hard to build things, but all too easy to break them.
The 5,839 dead black people are just the most obvious sign of the social wreckage.
While black people are the biggest victims of black crime, they are not alone. As these statistics show, we all pay a price. Some pay it directly in the forms of murders, muggings, and assaults. But we all pay for the social cost indirectly through our taxes, the price of goods and services, the cost of insurance, the broken social compact and lack of trust, and the diminished future of our cities and our country. The criminal justice reform movement, like all leftist propositions, was based on ignoring everything we had learned from the past about crime and how to fight it.
The Black Lives Matter movement terrorized cities and became the official dogma of Corporate America. Every major institution began accusing itself of systemic racism and purging itself.
Meanwhile thousands of black men died in the streets of major cities. The CEOs and university presidents heard the death toll reported on the evening news and paid no attention because it was taking place in neighborhoods and housing projects that they would never set foot into.
Now the sum total of the carnage is in. 5,839 black people killed. 2021 is on track to see more elevated murder rates. The question is how many black people have to die until the big lie of systemic racism, the scam of anti-racism, and the criminal justice reform killing fields end.
Report: 14 Shot on Tuesday in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Fourteen people were shot, three of them fatally, Tuesday in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 11 were shot and wounded and three were shot and killed.
The first shooting fatality of the day was a woman who was shot and killed at 1:20 a.m. while inside a car “in the 6500 block of South Calumet Avenue.” The 27-year-old was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the hospital.
WGN-TV observed the gunman who killed the woman also shot two men who were standing on the sidewalk near the vehicle, but their injuries were not life-threatening.
The Sun-Times explained a 21-year-old man standing by the street “in the 1500 block of South Christiana Avenue” was shot multiple times and killed about 1:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The third fatality of the day was a 39-year-old who was shot twice at 9:30 p.m. while “in a gangway in the 6200 block of South Campbell Avenue.” He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Tuesday’s violence comes after Breitbart News noted some 15 were shot, six of them fatally, on Monday alone in Lightfoot’s Chicago.
HeyJackass.com pointed out that 2,921 people have been shot and wounded in Chicago thus far in 2021, and another 610 people have been shot and killed.

WATCH: Ulta Beauty Ransacked During Store Hours in Chicago
An Ulta Beauty shop in Chicago, Illinois, was apparently robbed during store hours over the weekend, and a customer recorded the incident.
The clip appeared to show three individuals wearing masks shoving products into bags, and the man filming was clearly shocked at what was happening, Fox News reported Monday.
The 16th & 17th District Chicago Police Scanner shared the footage and the caption said the incident took place “at the Ulta in Norridge at 4115 N Harlem near the 16th district in #Chicago”:
In the video, a high-pitch alarm is heard and the man behind the camera states, “Oh, look at this, wow,” while the individuals appear to shove products into bags.
“Insane, insane, y’all. Y’all, this is the middle of the Ulta right now,” he said moments before the individuals exited the store.
A store manager would not comment to Fox News regarding the incident but referred inquiries to the store’s media spokesperson.
“At Ulta Beauty, the safety of our associates and guests is our highest priority,” Eileen Ziesemer, vice president of public relations for Ulta, said. “We are aware of the criminal activity at our Norridge store over the weekend and are fully cooperating with local police as they conduct the investigation.”
In August, Chicago Police issued an alert when a 73-year-old security guard was injured during one of a string of store robberies on the city’s Magnificent Mile, ABC 7 reported.
Authorities said they were looking for a group of thieves hitting high-end retail stores along the Magnificent Mile, the outlet continued:
“We put out a business alert on this for other locations and incidents that fit this same MO,” Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said. At least four different stores were targeted within the last week in the 900-block of N. Rush Street, the 1000-block of N. Michigan Avenue, the 600-block of North Michigan Avenue and the 0-100-block of E. Huron Street.
“Offenders got out of the car, went into a high-end store, stole several purses totaling $43,000,” Deenihan said. Each time, investigators said a group of men wearing medical masks and hoodies enter the store, grab the purses on the display tables, then run out. The crimes were caught on surveillance cameras, police said.
Meanwhile, 62 people were reportedly shot, eight fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
