The case of a Ukrainian refugee has sparked headlines across the globe, with the young woman, Iryna Zarutska, stabbed to death in cold blood on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. The footage of the incident is explosively disturbing, showing the hooded figure of Decarlos Brown Jr. rising up behind the woman, who appears completely unaware of her fate, before he stabs her to death.
Now, an Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician, Tomasz Froelich, who represents the popular party in the European Parliament as an MEP, is saying something that many wish U.S. politicians, especially Republicans, were also willing to say.
“Black people make up 13% of the population in the USA but account for 56% of murderers. Their homicide rate is 6-8 times higher than that of Whites. For every three Black people killed by Whites, seven Whites are killed by Blacks—despite there being almost five times as many Whites as Blacks in the USA. Now, 23-year-old Ukrainian Iryna Zarutska was brutally stabbed to death by a repeatedly convicted Black man in Charlotte, North Carolina,” Froelich wrote on X.

The AfD MEP continued, writing: “It is not expected that Whites will loot stores or plunge entire cities into civil war-like chaos. It is also unlikely that professional football players will kneel before every game in honor of Iryna. Why? Quite simply: She was White. And racism against Whites doesn’t exist, as ‘anti-racist’ ideologues have taught us. How much longer should Whites, conditioned by instilled feelings of guilt, endure their own degradation? Enough is enough! Iryna Zarutska is certainly no less valuable than a George Floyd. WHITE LIVES MATTER!”
Notably, Republicans across the United States are terrified of even mentioning White people as a group, let alone saying “White lives matter.”
President Donald Trump notoriously never mentions White people directly in any of his speeches, certainly never as a group or community that has interests or desires or ambitions, despite the population still constituting a majority in the country. Instead, Trump endlessly panders to Hispanics as well as Black people, representing 11 to 12 percent of the U.S. population. Despite constant claims of Trump being a racist, his love affair with Blacks includes promises for billions of dollars in giveaways and benefits. His “Black Platinum” plan was rife with all sorts of these giveaways, all while Black people vote for Donald Trump at the lowest rate of any racial group.
Meanwhile, White people are his core voters, as poll after poll has shown, but Trump has never shown any outward sign that this group even exists. He, for example, persistently talks of “Black communities,” but never “White communities.”
Many Republicans in his party are even more scared to touch this topic. It is unclear if there is even a single Republican in Congress who explicitly refers to a “White community” in the United States, let alone expresses any belief that White people as a group have interests or feature “lives that matter.”
This double standard is wearing thin on Americans of European descent, especially as hundreds of thousands have been murdered, over the last decades at the hands of the Black community — often with little media fanfare.
Even Google AI itself is willing to provide a clear answer in regard to this trend. Referring to Black-on-White homicides, Gemini writes: “Rough estimate from 1960 to 2024 suggesting roughly 260,000 to 340,000 such homicides based on extrapolations and available data. While consistent yearly figures are unavailable prior to the 1980s, analyses of detailed data show Black-on-white homicides outnumbered white-on-Black homicides during this period.”
This does not include assaults, robberies, and thefts. In many ways, the White community has paid reparations many times over.
It is notable that a Ukrainian refugee, who is not even an American citizen, sparked yet another debate on Black-on-White murder in the United States, but even while the Republican base, along with many independents, is not shying away from the issue, the Republican leadership continues to treat it like a third rail.
AfD politicians, in contrast, tend to recognize that White people, and especially ethnic Germans, exist and may also have their own interests and concerns — and this group may even want representation at the political level. There is also a recognition that there have been explicit ethnic and racial lobbying groups such as Hispanics, Arabs, Africans, and other groups for many decades — both in Germany and other Western countries.
