White
Supremacists Are Not The Real Threat May 22, 2023 When
Joe Biden was elected president, he promised to unite the country. He has
failed. As he proved May 13 at Howard University, he is dividing us along
racial lines. In
his commencement address, he told the black audience that white supremacy “is
the most dangerous terrorist threat to the homeland.” That is simply not
true. He
also said that the battle against racism is “never really over.” To the
extent this is true, it is due in no small way to people like him and his
administration. They have a vested ideological interest in stoking the fire. It
was only fitting that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he
agreed that the “rise in white supremacy” was our greatest domestic terrorist
threat. But it is not white supremacists who are killing innocent
Americans—it is the drug cartels and their illegal aliens. And Mayorkas is the principal reason why. As
reported in The Economist, nearly 14,000 pounds of fentanyl was seized
between October and March, as much as the total for fiscal-year 2022. Since
it takes only 2 milligrams of fentanyl to kill an adult, that means that this
seizure alone could kill approximately 3.2 billion people. And Biden and Mayorkas are telling us white supremacists are a bigger domestic
threat? As
reported in January by Axios, illegal border crossings reached their highest
number since Biden took office. And that was before Title 42 expired. Our
southern border is being invaded in record numbers, and not all who seek to
come here have good intentions. The problem is we can’t keep up with the
number of really dangerous persons entering our country. That is the real
domestic threat. As
reported by the New York Times on May 18, we set a new record last
year with the number of people—nearly 110,000—who have died of drug
overdoses. Fentanyl, of course, is the real killer. “Drug overdoses have
contributed to a decrease in life expectancy in the United States and are one
of the nation’s leading causes of death. Other drugs in the nation’s supply
that can be mixed with fentanyl, such as the cheap and addictive animal
tranquilizer xylazine, have heightened the dangers of opioid use.” There
is another serious threat to our domestic security and that is crime. Under
Biden, our cities are witnessing record crime rates, and much of that is a
result of Democrat mayors and Democrat District Attorneys. No demographic
group has suffered more than black Americans. To cite one example, a new
study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association found
that in Chicago, 1 in 14 Chicagoans had been shot by their 40th birthday and
50 percent had witnessed a shooting by that age. The rate among blacks was
the highest. As I
point out in War on
Virtue: How the Ruling Class is Killing the American Dream, it
is not blacks who want to defund the police, or abolish our prisons—it is
white liberal elites. Most blacks are law-abiding citizens, but they are
being preyed upon by a minority within their own ranks. It is not white
supremacists whom the average black person needs to fear—it is young black
males. If
criminals were held accountable for their behavior, we wouldn’t have such an
explosion in violent crime, and for that we can thank politicians like Biden.
Instead of making race-baiting speeches, it would behoove him to show his
support for the African American community by speaking out against the
soft-on-crime policies that his Party is promoting. Hard
core drugs and hard core criminals are the greatest domestic threat to
the United States, not white supremacists. To insist otherwise is a ruse, and
a dangerous one at that.
