The results are now in on The Establishment’s vast gamble of declaring 2020 to be the year of the Racial Reckoning. Did sacralizing Black Lives Matter as our culture’s highest value even succeed at saving black lives?
No.
My new data shows that elites’ frantic push since Memorial Day for Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE) got thousands more Americans murdered in 2020 than in 2019.
America’s culturally influential have a lot of blood on their hands.
My article reports for 104 American cities their change in number of murders from 2019 to the Year of George Floyd.
Here are the top 50 cities in population ranked in order of increase in murders from 2019 to 2020:
