On the latest episode of The Rants of Izzo Show, hosts of The Berm Pit Podcast Scott Siverts and Matty Whack discuss with me the hateful ideology of the anti white culture that is being spewed through the hateful rhetoric of members of Black Lives Matter.
Listen to the podcast here: Listen to “BLM Activist Calls for Death to White People on Live Interview” on Spreaker.
In a stunning display of racial divisiveness and hostility, a prominent Black Lives Matter leader has called for “black vigilantes” to rise up in response to the acquittal of Marine veteran Daniel Penny. Penny, who was on trial for defending subway passengers from a violent homeless man, Jordan Neely, was found not guilty on Monday—a verdict that has since been met with incendiary rhetoric and threats.
Walter “Hawk” Newsome, a self-proclaimed leader within the Black Lives Matter movement and Jordan Neely’s purported uncle, took center stage with inflammatory remarks inside and outside the courtroom. Shouting threats directly at Penny during the chaos following the verdict, Newsome declared, “It’s a small f**king world, buddy.”
Once outside, Newsome escalated his rhetoric, calling for “black vigilantes” to take matters into their own hands.
Radical Rhetoric: A Call for Lawlessness
Newsome’s fiery statements left no room for ambiguity. “Everybody else has vigilantes. We need some black vigilantes,” he told reporters and protesters gathered outside the courthouse.
He went further, issuing a chilling warning: “People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud. How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?”
These remarks came as tensions ran high among protesters who had gathered daily outside the trial. Chants of “f**k the police” echoed through the streets, with demonstrators questioning why law enforcement hadn’t intervened to “defend” Neely—ignoring the fact that Neely was threatening passengers and creating a dangerous situation.
The Case That Sparked Controversy
Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, found himself in the national spotlight after stepping in to protect New York subway passengers from Neely, a homeless man with a history of mental illness and violence. On the day of the incident, Neely was reportedly threatening to kill passengers and expressing a willingness to “go back to Rikers.”
Penny subdued Neely using a chokehold, alternating pressure to keep him restrained until police arrived. The tragic outcome of the encounter led to Neely’s death, sparking a politically charged trial that lasted six weeks.
Prosecutors argued that Penny’s actions were excessive, while his defense maintained that he acted in the interest of public safety. The jury’s not guilty verdict has now become a flashpoint for racial agitators like Newsome.
Stoking Division: Newsome’s Dangerous Words
Newsome’s rhetoric didn’t stop with calls for vigilante justice. He claimed that black people in America have been designated as “punching bags” and argued that the system is inherently designed to oppress them.
“America will never fix the issue of black people because America needs a punching bag. They have designated us as the punching bag,” Newsome told the crowd, before launching into a tirade against the nation itself.
“So, f**k America. How dare you laugh and cheer when someone gets away with murdering us,” he declared, accusing the justice system and the broader society of systemic racism.
Newsome also made it clear that he doesn’t believe in peaceful demonstrations, saying, “I don’t want a march. I want a step.”
In a final incendiary statement, Newsome addressed so-called “racists” with the words, “Burn in hell.”
The Double Standard on Full Display
The response to the Daniel Penny trial and Newsome’s subsequent remarks highlights an unsettling double standard in how justice and activism are framed in America today. While Penny acted to protect innocent passengers from a direct threat, he was vilified by activists and forced to endure a lengthy trial.
On the other hand, Newsome’s explicit threats and calls for racial vigilantism have been met with silence or tacit approval from left-leaning leaders and media outlets. This lack of accountability not only emboldens radicals but also fuels racial tensions across the country.
Where Do We Go From Here?
The real question is what kind of precedent this sets for America. Are we now a nation where defending yourself and others from imminent harm can lead to criminal prosecution, while open threats and racially charged rhetoric are ignored?
For conservatives, the Penny trial and its aftermath are a stark reminder of the need to uphold law and order while rejecting divisive identity politics. Americans of all backgrounds must demand a justice system that values fairness over racial narratives and prioritizes the safety of law-abiding citizens.
Newsome’s remarks serve as a wake-up call for Republicans to double down on their commitment to protect free speech, equal justice under the law, and public safety. But it also underscores the urgent need to confront and condemn anti-white rhetoric that seeks to pit Americans against one another.
Conclusion: A Nation at a Crossroads
The fallout from Daniel Penny’s trial and the dangerous rhetoric of figures like Walter Newsome illustrate the high stakes of today’s culture wars. America cannot afford to descend into a society where justice is seen as a zero-sum game, and racial identity dictates guilt or innocence.
It’s time for leaders on the right to stand firm against these divisive forces and champion the principles that have made this country a beacon of hope and opportunity for all. If we fail to act, the consequences will be far more devastating than any single trial or protest.
