David Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and Trump’s biggest white supremacist fan, warned that black men will “rise up, kidnap white women from Walmart, and rape them.” But that supposed threat will happen only if Hillary Clinton is elected president.
Although both Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick Mike Pence have denounced Duke, he just keeps showing up and cheering them onward.
The Southern Poverty Law Center posts this about the KKK:
‘The Ku Klux Klan, with its long history of violence, is the most infamous — and oldest — of American hate groups. Although black Americans have typically been the Klan’s primary target, it also has attacked Jews, immigrants, gays and lesbians and, until recently, Catholics.’
Duke and Jay Hess co-host the “David Duke Radio Show.” On their September 7th show, they spoke with the confidence only the clueless can express. Obviously, they are down on black people, labeling them killers of white people. Not only that, they say, should Clinton become president, she will be the “architect of white genocide.”
Hess said that Clinton:
‘…represents the forces of white genocide” and is “definitely a traitor to her people.’
He continued, saying she is comfortable with white people being “outbred.” Hess doesn’t offer any proof to back up his claim. After all, Clinton married a white guy and had a white child.
Then, Duke entered the word battle, saying non-white criminals are targeting white people. He believes there are “hundreds of thousands of white victims of massive non-white crime.” He added:
‘When a person goes to the store, they go to the mall, or they drive somewhere in their car and they break down, or they stop at a traffic light and they might get hijacked, nine times out of ten it’s not gonna be some white guy hijacking their car.
‘It’s not gonna be a white guy kidnapping them at the Walmart, right? And, you know, taking their family and slaughtering them, or robbing them or raping the women. That’s just the reality of life in this country.’
So, what does the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] say about Duke’s claim? The FBI has records of who is committing the type of crime Duke fears and breaks it down by race. As it turns out, white people are the majority of criminals, by far.
The results of the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting 2014 by race or subgroup indicate that when it comes to the total rapes committed, white people were guilty in 67.2 percent of the cases, while African-Americans committed less than one-third or 29.9 percent of them. In aggravated assault cases, whites were guilty in 63.7 percent of these incidents, and African-Americans were guilty in half of these cases, 33.1 percent of the time.
In motor vehicle thefts, whites were guilty 66.5 percent of the time,, and African-Americans committed less than a third or 30.7 percent of the crimes. In violent crime cases, white were guilty 59.4 percent of the time, and African Americans were guilty of 37.7 percent of the crimes.
