IS AMERICA A ‘SOURCE OF WHITE SUPREMACY?’ HEATHER MAC DONALD USES HATE CRIME STATISTICS TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Conservative writer and researcher Heather Mac Donald used cold, hard statistics to dispute what she claims is the “ridiculous” notion that America is a “source of white supremacy.”

Appearing on Monday night’s episode of “The Story With Martha MacCallum,” the The Diversity Delusion author responded to Fox News host Martha MacCallum’s question about the common assertion from the political left that white supremacy is “on the rise.”

“Do you think that is true?” MacCallum asked.

Pointing to recent footage of Chelsea Clinton being confronted, Mac Donald said: “The left is so determined to try to paint America as a source of white supremacy when, in fact, there is virtually no institutional support for these handful of kooks that are insane. They are violating the very premises of Western Civilization.”

After stating that we “are all on campus now” because of the increasing inability to speak about such issues, Mac Donald cited the real hate crime statistics:

The number of reported hate crimes—and we don’t know how many of those are Jussie Smollett hoaxes—last year was identical to what it was 10 years ago when there were 25 million fewer people in the United States and many fewer reporting agencies. And if you go 10 years before that, you have 3,000 more hate crimes reported. The idea that there has been some surge in hate, much less white supremacist hate, is completely ridiculous.

“It looks like there is no single group that is sort of dominating this issue and also the numbers are relatively low,” MacCallum observed after showing a graphic from The Washington Post.

“This is about .0005 percent of all violent crimes in the United States,” said Mac Donald before questioning evening the Post’s “methodology.”

“[T]here are known categories, they don’t know what the motivation is,” she said. “Why they get to count those as extremist terror incidents, domestic terrorism when they may be your average guy going postal, I don’t know. But their numbers do not show a surge in white supremacist violence. It is preposterous.”

Mac Donald contended that “mainstream institutions” essentially brainwash students to think “white people are evil,” but as was evidenced by the Covington student scandal, “the hate is going in one direction.”

The ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment That Led an NFL Star to Quit in His Prime and Become a Farmer

Jason Brown was on top of the NFL world. He was, at the time, the highest paid center in NFL history after signing a $37.5 million dollar contract.

He had everything – the mansion, the status, the power to do anything he wanted. Having achieved seemingly everything, Brown still felt empty inside.

He calls his 27th birthday a turning point in his life. He woke up and says he should’ve been happy, but was really struggling inside.

“I wasn’t happy about what I saw in the mirror because 27 was the same age that Lunsford (his brother) was when he was slain in service,” Brown explained. “I began to measure up my life and everything I had accomplished over 27 years in contrast with Lunsford’s life. There was no comparison. He had lived a life of service, while I was living a life of selfishness and entertainment.”

Brown’s brother Lunsford had been killed in action while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom back in 2003.

“The kicker was when I looked in the mirror… and I saw his reflection looking right back at me, and he asked, ‘what are you doing with your life Jason that’s so great? What are you doing with your life that’s so special?’ And I couldn’t answer. And in the first time in a long time, my heart was wide open. All of those seeds from my youth that had fallen on rocky soil – about love and loving thy neighbor and being selfless. All of a sudden they began to take root and germinate.”

The light bulb went off. He knew his priorities were out of order and something had to be done. “I went to my wife and I said ‘we’ve got it all wrong. We’ve got to get back to faith and family first.”

But they weren’t exactly sure how to do that. “God was preparing me for something greater, but I had no idea what it was,” Brown said.

In a moving interview with Col. North, Brown explains how the next several months and years unfolded and it’s a beautiful testimony of what God will do when we just listen and follow what He’s telling us to do.

A beautiful lesson for us all to follow. We may not always be able to see what He has planned, but if we simply read His Word, listen, and trust – God will do the rest.
