Frank R. James
1,468 words
Early Wednesday afternoon — nearly 30 hours after he allegedly detonated a pair of smoke bombs on a Manhattan-bound Brooklyn subway car before blindly firing an estimated 33 rounds from a Glock pistol at passengers, hitting ten but killing no one — a fat little frog-faced black man named Frank R. James was finally taken into custody. Federal prosecutors have already slammed him with a charge of committing terrorist attacks, which could send him to prison for life.
Before his arrest, investigators uncovered a long list of comments about race that may suggest a motive — or even, considering modern prejudices, an alibi.
Nearly 30 years ago, a Jamaican-born black immigrant named Colin Ferguson killed six passengers and wounded 19 others with a Ruger P89 semiautomatic pistol on the Long Island Railroad. He’d left a long paper trail of anti-white comments; police found a note scribbled in his pocket that was titled REASONS FOR THIS. Among the reasons were “racism by Caucasians and Uncle Tom Negroes” and “the false allegations against me by the filthy female Caucasian racist on the #1 [rail] line.” While attending college at Adelphi University, Ferguson interrupted a symposium about South African apartheid by screaming, “We should be talking about the revolution in South Africa and how to get rid of the white people! Kill everybody white!”
Celebrity lawyers William Kunstler and Ron Kuby, who took up Ferguson’s case pro bono, angled for a “black rage” defense, claiming their client had been so mentally bludgeoned by America’s unending racism that he bore no criminal responsibility for eventually snapping.
Ferguson rejected the “black rage” defense, kicked Kunstler and Kuby to the kurb, and represented himself in court, which led to several surreal moments such as when he asked his female shooting survivor to identify the person who shot her.
Ferguson was found guilty, perhaps for being stupid enough to represent himself more than being a mass murderer. But the 1990s — as infused with Spike Lee movies, Malcolm X baseball caps, and Rodney King riots as they were — were a different time. It seemed as if most Americans still wouldn’t have been comfortable with a “black rage” defense.
In the intervening decades, but especially the past couple of years, Americans have been so terrorized into worshipping all things black and demonizing all things white, Frank R. James would be wise to hire some lawyers to plead Not Guilty By Reason of Black Rage.
Besides Wednesday morning’s Brooklyn shooting and Colin Ferguson’s 1993 Long Island Railroad massacre, the only other high-profile NYC-area train shooting that springs to mind is the little encounter between Bernhard Goetz and four underprivileged urban yoofs in Downtown Manhattan three days before Christmas in 1984. But according to every account of the Long Island and Brooklyn shootings, they were entirely unprovoked — at least by the passengers. In Goetz’s case, he was able to plead self-defense and spent only eight months in jail. Some suspect that he became a vigilante hero due to seething collective white rage against black crime that even back then — we’re talking nearly 40 years ago — was not permissible to openly articulate in public.
Before James’s YouTube channel — where he posted under the alias “prophet of truth88” — was taken down on Wednesday, I was able to view a couple of his videos and transcribe certain extra-juicy passages.
As far as I’m able to piece together, and this is all speculative, James had left his home in Milwaukee sometime in March with the intent of driving to Philadelphia, and then possibly New York City.
In the first of the two videos I watched, uploaded March 20, titled FIRST STOP COMPLETE and clocking in at 26:52, a sullen and self-pitying Mr. James revealed that he had currently stopped in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which was full of “white racist motherfuckers” and where he was personally disrespected by some “white bitch” whom he felt gave him a funny look.
In his videos, James tends to make clear very quickly that he isn’t very fond of whites or blacks. He lamented that Milwaukee was a “motherfucking ghetto” and that he was headed to Philly to “be around a bunch of motherfucking niggas I don’t want to be around . . . that’s all niggers are at the end of the day — a bunch of turds in the toilet.”
Starting around 14:17 of ONE STOP COMPLETE, Frank R. James offers a harsh moral condemnation of black Americans:
This is what you get for being a vicious black no-good stinkin’ piece of shit. . . . There are people, white people in this country, ‘cos I’m gettin’ tired of you. And I’m black. And I’m a fuckin’ nigga. I’m gettin’ tired of lookin’ at a fuckin’ stinkin’ nigga. Gittin’ worse and worse, and there’s bitches just shittin’ fucking babies out that have no sense of shit.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
James seemed to believe that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine would set off World War III and the eventual extermination of the black race; after all, if whites have no trouble killing other whites, they’ll eagerly dispose of blacks like so much soiled toilet tissue. At around 15:15, he claims that “they’re” getting ready to wipe out American blacks . . .
. . . just like those German Jews, them European Jews were gotten rid of in Europe. . . . Hitler had no right to do what he did to them Jews. White motherfucker here has every right to kill you. Has every right to kill you. Why? ‘Cause he created you. Like Dr. Frankenstein created the Frankenstein monster. You’re his fuckin’ creation! You’re not an African, you’re not a motherfuckin’ European, you’re some cross between the motherfuckers, which makes you a human mule! Which makes you a fuckin’ human mule. There’s no such thing as a black European, but that’s what you fuckin’ are!
At 17:15, without going into detail regarding exactly what sort of violent revolutionary shenanigan he’s about to pull that will lead to his death, he says:
I’m-a die with a smile on my face and a song in my fuckin’ heart. ‘Cos that’s exactly what the fuck should happen. . . . America, the United States, is a criminal fuckin’ act from beginning to end. It was started from a crime. Genocide of the indigenous people. The enslavement of the African people. How the fuck can you have anything lasting and decent out of that?
On April 11 — the day before the Brooklyn subway shooting — James uploaded a nearly 80-minute video he titled DOMESTICATED AVERAGES that starts with a movie clip of black prison inmates where one of them gleefully says, “The time for whitey is almost up!” At around 14:04 of the video, apparently filming himself inside a motel room, James says:
You cannot be un-raped. You cannot be un-fucked. You cannot be un-enslaved. You cannot be un-bred like a pig and a dog and a cat. You can’t undo that, nigga! . . . We are like the Frankenstein monster, we are the creations of mad scientists. Not in a laboratory, but on a plantation . . . the plantation was our fuckin laboratory where they experimented on ways to control you.
The next morning, according to eyewitnesses, a stocky black male about 5’5” tall who was wearing an orange-and-green construction-style vest on a Manhattan-bound Brooklyn N train donned a gas mask, told everyone to “start running,” said “oops — my bad!” after setting off a smoke bomb, and fired 33 rounds from his Glock pistol into the murky chaos. Footage from an adjacent car shows terrified subway riders, along with smoke, pouring out of the doors as they finally open at the Sunset Park station. Smartphones recorded the immediate aftermath, as the surveillance cameras at the subway station happened to be malfunctioning at the time.
Either Frank R. James is some kind of Negroidal Houdini or the NYPD is simply that inept these days, but he was able to tra-la-la merrily through the Big Apple for more than a day before finally being arrested.
My sense is that this story — with the inconvenient suspected black terrorist who left a long trail of inconvenient comments about white people — will be memory-holed as quickly as last year’s Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre was scrubbed from the public consciousness. Even six months ago, it didn’t seem as if prosecutors were willing to test the “black rage” defense on a jury.
But Frank R. James, who blames all white people including Vladimir Putin for his unhappiness, may have been blessed by historical circumstances. According to James’ tortured logic, Putin started a brother war among whites as a sneaky, backhanded way of fulfilling the long-term pan-Caucasian goal of global black extermination.
If he gets a jury in either Manhattan or Brooklyn, it may be stuffed with so many guilty whites and vengeful non-whites who’d leap at the chance to simultaneously shame Vladimir Putin and prevent global black extermination, they will not only acquit Frank R. James, they’ll take him out for ice cream and beg him for his autograph.

Because of Montreal, Utøya, Charleston, Christchurch, Pittsburgh, El Paso, and finally Atlanta, feminists, leftists, blacks, muslims, jews, mexicans, and asian sex-workers all know conservative whites would destroy them in direct conflict. That’s what these mass shootings do to the psyche. Hell, in America we also have mass shootings for gays, elementary schoolers, postal employees, movie-theater goers and country music fans. My real advice to black people? Buy a rifle if you really want to protect yourself and your community, not just a dinky 9mm handgun.
A lot of the rhetoric he was spouting came from the 1619 Project and red diaper baby “historians”. They lied, but feeble minds like the shooter here believe their crap. Academia has blood on its hands.
My personal favorite piece of commentary from Mr. James was when he was seemingly addressing a Hispanic gentleman in one of his rants while walking around New York City:
”… That’s the best idea a fuckin’ stankin’ spic could ever have. Prove what to you? Mothafucka you shouldn’t even exist! Prove what to you? You shouldn’t even be the fuck on earth! You’re a crime against nature you Spanish speaking mothafucka! Th-th-the fuckin’ Spanish fucked you and raped you into existence.”
I for one hope he follows the example of the above mentioned Mr. Ferguson and represents himself at trial. It would be a shame for him to deny the jury a chance to hear his words of wisdom directly.
“Firing an estimated 33 rounds from a Glock pistol at passengers, hitting ten but killing no one”
Sailer’s Law of Mass Shootings confirmed again.
Mr. James (there’s a tribute song to Elmore James by John Mayall titled “Mr. James” which might be worthy of some radio play again) was on an inevitable path to infamy not so much by his race, as by his parents choosing to name him after what Wikipedia calls an “American outlaw, Confederate guerrilla, and train robber (1843-1915)” Once more White history has been appropriated.
After the 1993 Colin Ferguson Massacre I tuned into New York’s Pacifica Radio station and the black host and his callers were livid- absolutely outraged.
Not at the killings, of course, but because Italian-American politician Thomas Gulotta visited the scene of the bloodbath and then told the press “Whoever did this was an animal”.
Later Jesse Jackson condemned him and the NY Times ran an article about the black community’s terror of a white backlash.
I’d be “livid–absolutely outraged,” too. Gulotta’s remark was an unpardonable insult to animals.
You have to admire the grandiose narcissism implicit in thinking Putin started a war killing white people so he can get to killing blacks. Paranoia is pure narcissism. Why are YOU so important as to believe that ‘they’ are out to get you? Black people are being conditioned to believe that the (literal) world revolves around them and their slavery-bruised feelings, and this entitles them to say and do everything and anything they want. And then people wonder how stuff like this happens.
Though this guy seems more like your usual paranoid schizophrenic, in that he seems to have indiscriminately opened fire in a carriage I would assume was carrying more races then just white. Wonder what percentage of his victims was white. Just as well the guy was so fucking stupid he let off smoke bombs, which no doubt impeded his vision and aim, and thus far, thankfully, nobody has died because of his sick madness.
He seems to have a weird obsession with inter-racial rape. Either something very bad has happened to him in his life, he WISHES something would happen, or he’s very influenced by Quentin Tarantino interracial rape dialogue. Take your pick.
He seems to be a low-IQ paranoid schizophrenic with as his main problem a lack of authentic black self-esteem. He feels that Blacks in America, just like Hispanics, are only the creation of (racist) Whites and historically that is not entirely inaccurate:
About Hispanics: “…You shouldn’t even be the fuck on earth! You’re a crime against nature you Spanish speaking mothafucka! Th-th-the fuckin’ Spanish fucked you and raped you into existence…” (From comment nr. 3)
About Blacks: “…You’re not an African, you’re not a motherfuckin’ European, you’re some cross between the motherfuckers, which makes you a human mule..!”
“…We are like the Frankenstein monster, we are the creations of mad scientists. Not in a laboratory, but on a plantation . . . the plantation was our fuckin laboratory where they experimented on ways to control you…”
Therefore he hates his own existence, and he took revenge on those who created him: Evil Whitey.
And ugly?
Hmmm. Weird and similar to Waukesha massacre. Have you guys noticed that political violence seems to peak when the group behind the violence perceives itself to be in power? Before trump was elected in 2016, it seemed there were almost weekly Muslim terrors attacks in Europe and America. But they stopped almost the minute trump was elected! Now, some of that may have had to do with actual Muslim travel bans and restrictions on immigration which the trump admin enacted, but bear with me. When trump was in power then there was a modest spike in altright crimes, for example, the two synogogur shootings, the guy who shot up the Walmart in El Paso, and a couple of other less clear things. Now that trump is out and biden in power, we have these black on white attacks, this recent and Waukesha. It seems there is an odd phenomenon of “victory attacks”, not by people who are oppressed, but rather some sort of perceived triumphalism on the part of the attackers. It’s similar to Steve Sailer’s notion of “victory riots” to explain the civil rights era urban riots.
There’s no such thing as a black European,
Well, at least he understands something that millions of Europeans have suicidally failed to grasp.
You beat me to it.
It’s hilarious that any black person who uses the internet these days would still push the “we wuz kangz” fantasy. Clearly this guy has never seen the Negro dick washer heiroglyph.
He has to sneak up on a glass of water just to get a drink.
Looks like the feds are out for blood on this one as it looks like this is going to be in federal court as opposed to state court. I think the jury pool is, dare I say, more diverse in federal trials. In the sense that they’ll look for jurors in the entire state. I just read that the federal case against Chauvin they selected the jury from all parts of Minnesota rather than just the local area. I likewise feel the cynicism of “black rage” as a defense as it has worked in lots of cases. A most recent example of course is Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. A most egregious example is the black Dunkin’ Donuts employee killing a white elderly patron who called him racial epithets getting community service. I think this case is different though. I won’t be surprised if the feds try to get jurors from Staten Island and upstate New York who will have no qualms locking this guy up. After a year of state-sanctioned riots under the subterfuge of peaceful protests it would simply be beyond the bounds of the cynically absurd to let this guy off on some sort of legal sophistry and technicality in the name of equity. I just can’t imagine the people running this case trying to get jurors from the Bronx or Harlem. If there’s a mistrial because some Harlem black juror felt that while the evidence was overwhelming that James committed the crime but that he was a victim of a racist system would mean a total collapse of trust in the legal system which is already viewed with much cynicism and skepticism.
And now into tin foil hat territory, this of course happens right after the lieutenant governor of New York gets arrested for corruption. I know it sounds crazy but just like the cameras at the jail where Epstein was were out at the right place at the right time these cameras too had a “malfunction.” You’d think in a city where the crime rate is exploding something like a security camera going out would be priority number one to fix.
Well that would mean some overpaid and underworked clod would have had to be observing the video to realize it was out. I can’t really imagine it could be an inside job since he was from out of state. It definitely could be black sympathy for his cause that would allow it to occur unwatched. It is curious how the state AG fills her minuscule brain with dreams of Trump crimes and convictions, yet a black political appointee is breaking the law right under her wide flaring nostrils. If she and the mayor have their way this too will be swept away like that crazed driver in Wisconsin.
What’s even worse is that one of the prosecutors in the Trump case resigned which pretty much all but doomed the case. These people have no shame. The prosecutor cries “Trump’s guilty of multiple felonies” as he resigns from the case and a month or two later the lieutenant governor gets arrested for corruption.
Big thanks to Goad for dredging up and preserving these details.
This is another argument for why we need guns everywhere. Every white should be a member of the NRA or Gun Owners of America. And be very aggressive about letting your elected officials know just how important guns are to you. The Republicans constantly waver, and need to have their spines stiffened by angry supporters.
Yet another reason not to ride the NYC subway. There were plenty already which are all related to diversity.
Done been beat with a ugly stick. How many mass shootings are perpetrated by the hopelessly unattractive?
No way this guy is small or short. All law enforcement near him in the pics are the same height or shorter. Why did they say he was short?
Because every eyewitness account prior to his arrest described him as five foot five, as did the NYPD Commissioner at a press conference:

It should have just been: “Police are looking for one ugly-ass motherfucker, dumb as dirt and skeevy as all get out. Black, if it doesn’t go without saying…”
“will be memory-holed as quickly as last year’s Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre was scrubbed from the public consciousness”
I know I sound beyond naïve here, but when, if ever, will a mainstream politician, television host, etc. etc. blandly point out the overt black-on-white crime in this country? To my knowledge, did any mainstream normie say it in regards to all the azn hate awareness that came and went so quickly last year? I think Candance Owens said something… not sure if she counts. As Goad says in response to the Goetz case (40 years ago) whites upset with black crime levels “was not permissible to openly articulate in public,” which shows how long this has been going on.
As the country continues to polarize and self segregate, I feel like some fly-over state Jesse Ventura-type might say something, and the oligarchy can conveniently ignore them/unperson them if it gains too much traction.
The non-animal who assassinated the five policemen in Dallas and injured nine others mentioned Black Lives Matter to police in the resulting stand-off and shouting match.
No one, no journalist sought to find out what was said.
My money on it not being, “I condemn Black Lives Matter.”
So we have actual occurrence of cops -not all of them white, either- being murdered in the name of the fraudulent organization. But let’s report on someone saying “jigaboo” in the work place.
The police soon tired of chatting with the fellow and dispatched a nifty remote-controlled bomb his-a-way.
“Black-ass lives be matterin’ ‘n’ shit..”
Negro go BOOM!
