The knife through Zarutska’s neck, the bullet through Kirk and anti-white racism

Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk: 'Those who preach the belief that every white person is an oppressor are also the ones who branded Kirk as an extremist.'

A world where one is attacked, even murdered, because of the colour of one’s skin, is something we in the West are supposed to have left behind, right? Racial discrimination – at least of the negative kind – is unthinkable in our progressed societies. Or is it? Let us be blunt: Socially acceptable racism is still alive and killing. What has changed is the identity of those targeted. It is whites that are now in the crosshairs.

Iryna Zarutska’s killing chills. The 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee was stabbed to death in North Carolina on August 22 by Decarlos Brown Jr., a black man targeting “any white woman”. Brown, confessing a racial motive, stabbed her on a Charlotte train, yet major media ignored it for weeks, until the video came out. George Floyd’s 2020 death sparked 10,000 protests and $2 billion in damages. Why no outrage for Iryna?

This is a cultural phenomenon. The liberal agenda, steeped in narratives of collective white guilt for the West’s historical sins – slavery, colonialism – has woven a dangerous thread, casting whites as perpetual oppressors. This dogma, preached in academia and media, creates a theoretical license for radicals to justify violence as “revenge” against white people. From the French West Indian philosopher Frantz Fanon’s anti-colonial rhetoric to modern “decolonisation” seminars, this ideology, like a preacher inciting a mob, emboldens attacks, portraying whites as fair game for retribution.

Anti-white crimes pile up. FBI’s 2023 data logs 6,999 hate crimes against whites, 52.5 per cent of racial incidents. The examples are endless. A Michigan case of a black man threatening white co-workers racially was ignored by local media. A Texas mall shooting targeted white shoppers, but was downplayed as “random”. Numbers scream, elites stay silent.

Public spaces are no longer safe for whites. From 2020-2024, 1.5 million violent incidents occurred in public, with whites facing racial slurs and assaults, according to the FBI. A 2024 New York City subway attack on a white man drew no hate crime charges, despite racial taunts. “Systemic bias ignores white victims”, noted criminologist John Hagan speaking to The Guardian last year. Courts in most cases do dismiss such cases.

Schools have become warzones. White students faced 68 per cent of racial bullying incidents in 2023, according to the US Department of Education, yet the media rarely report them. When in a California school white teens were attacked with racial slurs, no suspensions were issued. Schools with over 50 per cent non-white students reported 70 per cent of violent incidents targeting whites, say 2024 numbers. Silence from teachers and principals encourages attackers.

Workplaces echo this trend. In a recent Boston case, a white employee was racially harassed, yet HR dismissed it. LA County’s 2024 report flagged 74 white supremacist incidents but ignored anti-white harassment. “White victims don’t fit the narrative,” tweeted VigilantFox on X. Spot on. Employers, like prosecutors rigging verdicts, turn a blind eye.

Media double standards are blatant. Racism against blacks is always headline news. Racism against whites is simply ignored. According to the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), white victims like Zarutska are four times less likely to get tributes than black victims. Floyd’s death fuelled global BLM marches amidst media frenzy. Zarutska’s was initially only covered by Fox News and Ukrainian media.

Politicians mirror this apathy. Biden and Harris led Floyd vigils. Not even a word for Zarutska. No leader mourned her when she was killed. California’s Gavin Newsom ignored a 2024 anti-white school attack in Sacramento, while condemning “systemic racism” elsewhere. In Europe, Germany’s Olaf Scholz sidestepped a 2024 Berlin white pedestrian attack – no statement from the EU either. Deaf, dumb and blind is the name of the game. Hear no evil, see no evil.

And the purge escalates. A few hours before these lines were published, Charlie Kirk was shot dead. Zarutska’s death had already infuriated millions out of their passiveness. Now the killing of another martyr only deepens the rage. Those who preach the belief that every white person is an oppressor, are also the ones who branded Kirk as an extremist. With them, we are now at war, in a fight for survival.
