Bishop Talbert Swan is known as a controversial racial agitator and “rabble-rouser” who supports black supremacy, black nationalism, and other bigoted ideas. He is also a pastor, author, radio show host, and president of the Greater Springfield NAACP. Many of his statements and social media posts arguably read like a madman’s manifesto instead of the work of someone in the clergy.
In his latest rant, Swan tried to make a sophisticated claim about crime rates. To accomplish this, Swan posted a graphic from the FBI that showed crime rates broken down by race. It was a move that backfired and instead showed the shocking rate at which black people disproportionately commit crime compared to their percentage of the population.
As the graphic shows, of all the criminal offenses listed by the FBI, white people account for 69.4% of offenders. However, as one can see from the image, directly next to this was the total number of black offenders, which was 26.6% of all criminal offenses. This is noteworthy because, according to the most recent information from the census, black people make up 13.6% of the country’s population. This would mean that black people in this country commit crimes at a rate that’s nearly double their percentage of the population.
This statistic is even more harrowing when considering that most of the 26.6% of black people responsible for these crimes are men. This would mean that 6%-7% of the population of the country (black men) are responsible for 26.6% of all crime. Even more troubling is an analysis of the percentage of the race of known offenders for murders, robberies, and rapes. Based on the information from the image Swan posted, 6%-7% of the population of the country (black men) are responsible for 51.2% of all murders, 52.7% of all robberies, and 26.7% of all rapes.
Given his history of bigoted and inflammatory rhetoric, had Swan been white instead of black, he would have been canceled and socially exiled as a racist and supremacist. But we should be used to these political and cultural double standards by now, however unfair they are. But this time, Swan’s idea backfired (and arguably humiliated him). While he was trying to find stats critical of white people, he posted information that showed black people commit crimes at disproportionately higher rates than white people, which was not his intention.
Moreover, it’s a reflection of a real problem in this country that gets regularly ignored or “swept under the rug” because the truth doesn’t align with DEI Democratic extremist values. However, when a small segment of the population, such as the 6%-7% that black men comprise in the population, are responsible for a significant number of violent crimes, it’s a major problem.

However, DEI Democrats such as Talbert Swan are not remotely interested in solving real problems. It’s easier to blame mythical factors like the white man, systemic racism, or supremacy. But it’s not the white man, systemic racism, or supremacy that’s responsible for 51.2% of all murders, 52.7% of all robberies, and 26.7% of all rapes.
People such as Swan only want to complain about social issues to distract from reality, and reality doesn’t align with their radical and toxic political ideologies. Their entire existence (and presumably cash flow) relies on them cursing the darkness instead of lighting candles.
