August 2025: 26 black on white homicides
Iryna Zarutska not the only beautiful white girl to die
I’m late, because of New York Attorney Letitia James’ intensifying lawfare against the VDARE Foundation, with my analysis of Kenn Gividen’s monthly summary of black-on-white killings.
We used to make Kenn’s research the basis of VDARE.com’s MONTH IN THE DEATH OF WHITE AMERICA series e.g. here, which definitively debunked the Black Live Matter blood libel against white America (and was probably one of the reasons James has been so determined to shut us down).
Of course, August 2025 saw the stabbing of beautiful Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, which miraculously escaped the usual media blackout and became a national story. Dramatically, Zarutska was even featured in Charlie Kirk’s last tweet, featuring a powerful statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, only hours before he himself was assassinated on September 10 2025:
But the picture that’s my featured image above is of a quite different beautiful young white girl, Katelynn Strate, 17, shot and killed in a road-rage incident by a black man, Barry West on August 26.
Because the point is: in America, BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WHITE GIRLS ARE KILLED BY BLACK MEN ALL THE TIME.
As are whites of all descriptions. It’s a national scandal. You just don’t hear about it.
And that’s a national scandal too.
Certain themes recur every month. Utterly random and unpredictable killings, like that of Iryna Zarutska, are regular occurrences. So are road rage incidents, like the one that claimed Katelynn Strate. Glancing through Kenn’s list, I count two more road rage incidents, as well as a carjacking and no less than three home invasions.
Home invasions always interest me as a sign that crime may be breaking out of the ghetto and into the politically-sensitive suburbs. Thus home invasions have become epidemic in Melbourne, Australia, where the perps are usually Sudanese immigrants, Of course, the Australian government effectively disarmed its citizens in a typical moral panic after the 1996 Port Arthur mass shooting. But, after anti-white self-defense atrocities like the Brunswick Three, maybe Americans—with exceptions, see below—are becoming afraid to shoot.
Plus, of course, as always there is the relentless toll of white women killed by black Significant Others. (And, this month, collateral damage from interracial relationships in the form of a white father-in-law and miscegenated parents).
Among the depressing details: Braisen Cain, a white teacher and mother of five, run over by a truck driven by Arel Dawkins, the black father of her unborn child—no word on the paternity of the others—who then proceeded to shoot her more than twenty times.
Why is this unmistakeable pattern of black-on-white femicide not a feminist issue?
Being scrupulously fair, we always also looked at the number of white-on-black homicides. It’s always a fraction of black-on-white homicides, meaning that the black propensity to kill white is a multiple (FBI data suggest over 13 times) of the white propensity to murder blacks.
This month, the ratio is unusually close. Kenn counts seven white-on-black killings. I make it eight, counting the shooting of Kevin Moses Walker, black, by Michael Hatcher, white, after the former had murdered the latter’s wife, white, in a home invasion. The Hatchers’ son, Spencer Hatcher, is a rising country music singer.
Some of these white-on-black killings cry out for more reporting. For example, Deborah Weiss, white, 69, shot Edward Parker, 52, and Ashim Heancho, 71, both black, at 3:24 a.m. on August 2 in Lexington KY. This seems unlikely to have been a mugging. But what was it?
However, media failure to follow up on these all these interracial stories is absolutely standard. The blackout is intensifying. Kenn Gividen is finding increasingly difficult to find even the basic facts about interracial killings. Please send tips to him by email or twitter.
Kenn’s August report on his substack is here. Alas, VDARE.com can no longer pay him for his work—and it’s a lot of work. I urge you to subscribe.
If they had not been 'beautiful', would you have cared nearly as much?
Iryna Zarutska appeared to be the only white person in the commuter rail car in which she was stabbed and died. Had our media and culture not been in a long term blackout of the reality of black on white crime (which has included ignoring such notable cases as the Wichita Massacre and the Knoxville Horror), she may have been aware of the potential danger that her choice of transportation came with, and may have chosen a safe alternative.
