We pretend that the reason for the lack of\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">proportional representation in institution after institution is racist measures of achievement rather than vast\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">academic and behavioral gaps. As a remedy for this alleged racism, we create double standards of\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">accomplishment and behavior. But double standards help no one. They are condescending, and they are\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">lethal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shapiro and Mac Donald discussed Thursday\u2019s shooting of Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old black teenager shot and injured by an 84-year-old white man after ringing the doorbell of the wrong house in Kansas City. Yarl was trying to pick up his twin younger brothers but went to the wrong home.<\/p>\n<p>The shooter has been charged with the equivalent of attempted murder. The district attorney said there was a \u201cracial component\u201d to the shooting. The shooter faces up to life in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a horrible shooting. The man should face some sort of criminal accountability, but it is not the way that black people die,\u201d Mac Donald told Shapiro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack people almost never die at the hands of whites. They die at the hands of other blacks, and the media doesn\u2019t give a damn about that. It doesn\u2019t give a damn about most black victims because it\u2019s not willing to talk about black criminals,\u201d the attorney and author continued.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link c-link--focus-visible\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-85921\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlacks, sadly, and this is a difficult thing to talk about, but they commit crime at vastly higher rates than any other group,\u201d Mac Donald said.<\/p>\n<p>The result of the criminal justice system often not enforcing the law against black Americans is \u201cmore black lives being lost,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mac Donald also addressed the broader issue of the West\u00a0\u201ccanceling itself\u201d because of its \u201cdemographic past,\u201d its traditions of music, art, science, and mathematics that came from white Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet over it.
