Frank Robert James (AKA Frank Whitaker[1]) (b. 1959)[2] the arrested[3][4][5] 'accused'[6] terrorist in the Apr 12, 2022 Brooklyn, NY Subway mass shooting, where 10 people were shot and at least 23 were hurt in the chaos,[7] is a fan of radical Black nationalism,[8] including Nation of Islam,[9] and its founder Elijah Muhammad.[4][10] James also showed admiration for Farrakhan.[11] He posted that Farrakhan is the true leader of Nation of Islam. James also shared video of (race baiter[12][13] fascist Farrakhan's fan[14]) Tariq Nasheed (Tariq Elite Show).[9] Indeed, writer points out,[15] Tariq Nasheed’s extremism, and racism... it’s clear that he radicalized a black nationalist terrorist with the help from Farrakhan.

Frank R James left a long trail of hate at several groups of people.[16] He had also posted rambling rants,[17] racist rants against Whites,[18] Hispanics, Asians,[19][11][20] etc.[21]

Columnist:[19]
James sounds very much like other ideologically fixated, identity-obsessed killers who have emerged since the BLM-Antifa racial movement of 2020 and the hate speech it unleashed. Like Darrell Brooks Jr., who allegedly plowed his car into the Waukesha Christmas parade last November, and Noah Green, the Nation of Islam adherent who rammed Capitol Police last April in a quickly memory-holed attack, James espoused the rancid, racist ideology of black supremacy, once known officially as "black identity extremism," which we have been assured by the FBI and other legal experts doesn't exist. 

Some of his rants were against other Black people.[22]

He Praised the 911 Islamist massacre,[18] describing 9/11 as “the most beautiful day, probably in the history of this f***ing world.”

James had expressed disappointment that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is married to a white man.[23]

James had posted videos discussing violence, mass shootings.[24] He even posted chilling video from packed train threatening to kill. In July 2020 James posted the eerie, 47-second clip to his social media, which was full of violent threats and support for black power leaders.[4] His YouTube channel was full of videos featuring racist, misogynistic, and violent rhetoric.[25] He used the moniker "prophet of truth 88" - numerals often used by white supremacists as code for "HH," or "Heil Hitler."[26]

James also had a file labeled, "By-Any-Means-Necessary-Malcolm-X" referring to the black nationalist's call for violence.[27]

James has ties to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Milwaukee and Wisconsin as well as New York.[28]

He has several prior arrests dating back to 1992, according to police. He was arrested in multiple states.[1]

An initial survey of photos from the scene of James' attack appear to show wounded white, Latino, and Asian victims, but no black people.[29]

James, despite possible mental issues, knew perfectly right from wrong and action and consequence. In one video, he said that "I wanted to kill people" but "I don’t want to go to f–king prison."[30]

Criticism

MSM

Washington Times columnist Tim Young asked:[31]
Has any news organization dared to report that Frank James is a black nationalist yet?
Analyst M. Abrahms:[32]
Some interesting *possible* parallels between Frank James, the suspect in the Brooklyn attack, and Noah Green, the defender of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who killed a Capitol police officer. In both cases, CNN quickly dismissed the attacks as terrorism.
Commentator Paul Joseph Watson:[33]
Frank R. James and his 'motive' will be buried & forgotten by the end of the week because it doesn't fit any 'current thing' narrative.
Commentator Horace Cooper says the media and people on the left are distracting from condemning bigotry across the board.[34]
Even though if you go to UC Berkeley, they might make some kind of false claim. Here's what's actually being pursued. I call it the racial antinomian heresy: The theory that there are people that ... can misbehave, they can blow up subways, they can run their car down over people. And we're going to overlook that as somehow we're making up for past mistreatment. All that we're signaling by that behavior is that more people should do it. So shame on the New York Times, shame on CNN, and shame on Joe Biden for lying to America.
Author Andrew Sullivan:[35]
It's almost funny how the NYT won't actually tell you what this person's views really are, and who the targets of his hate are.
NY Post Editorial Board:[36]
The media has ignored Brooklyn subway shooting suspect Frank James' history of racism against white people.

That will come as a surprise to anyone who watched any significant portion of James’ YouTube rants. Though he does spew hate about some black people, particularly black women, he often returns to and espouses themes of black nationalism. In one video, he says “what happened in Europe with the Jews” could happen to blacks in America. He suggests that Russia’s war on Ukraine is a prelude to using nuclear weapons to wipe out black people. “Ultimately at the end of the day, they kill and commit genocide against each other. What do you think they gonna do to your black ass?”

He concludes that “white people and black people, as we call ourselves, should not have any contact with each other.”
Charles Fain Lehman of The Washington Free Beacon:[37]
Yes, the Media Bury the Race of Murderers—If They’re Not White.

Politicians

Newsweek Columnist:[38]
Leaders in Washington ignore black racism, gang violence.

Priors

Frank Robert James had decades of disputes and petty offenses.[39]

He has nine prior arrests in New York City dating from 1992 to 1998 for offenses including possession of burglary tools, a criminal sex act and theft of service.[40]

    [The alleged perpetrator's] twisted motives and ideology are coming into focus in what are a series of deranged videos filled with violent rhetoric … James was railing against White people, Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, Hispanic Americans and the United States of America. He even trashed Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge [Ketanji Brown] Jackson, because she married a White man.

    James also filmed himself on the streets of New York, screaming racial slurs at Asians and Hispanics as they walk by telling them they shouldn't exist. And according to social media, he was also a big supporter of ... Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Naturally, this story will be swept under the rug by the media mob. I guess Frank James probably won't fit their political narrative. In fact, one disappointed former MSDNC host tweeted: 'Police say the suspect is a male black. Damn damn damn.' How about we just get the bad guy, and we protect the good guys, all people?

    Glocks don’t shoot people. Racist criminals do.

    In April, a black nationalist terrorist named Frank James opened fire on the downtown N subway train in Manhattan. While the racist gunman had a large stockpile of weapons, he happened to use a Glock pistol that he had bought over ten years ago. Now Glock is being sued... A month later, Andrew Abdullah, a career criminal, shot and killed Daniel Enriquez, a Goldman Sachs employee, on the Q train using a Luger. It’s not the brand of gun that’s the problem... James also had a file labeled, "By-Any-Means-Necessary-Malcolm-X" referring to the black nationalist's call for violence. The racist black Muslim leader had threatened to "strike also at whatever and whoever gets in the way."..

    Glock didn’t create "a public nuisance in the State of New York" No more than Luger did. Ms. Steur would be in just as much pain if the racist shooter had used any other brand of firearm. And Daniel Enriquez would be just as dead. As her lawsuit admits, there has been a massive increase in subway crime. And urban crime in general. That’s not the doing of Luger and Glock.

    NYC Dems were too busy fighting white supremacy to stop a black supremacist terrorist...

    An initial survey of photos from the scene appear to show wounded white, Latino, and Asian victims, but no black people, suggesting that the terrorist may have targeted people by race. Where could James have gotten his racist ideas from? While notions such as white replacement by minorities are denounced as dangerous racist conspiracy theories, the inverse, conspiracy theories that claim white people are going to launch a black genocide are mainstream.

    The Black Lives Matter protests were accompanied by false claims that police shootings of black men represent genocide.
  30. ↑ Nicole Gelinas, The NYC subway shooter, despite disordered thoughts, bears responsibility for his crimes, NYPost, April 17, 2022.
    Anyone who commits a mass attack has mental problems. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, probably did have post-traumatic stress disorder, and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev probably was manipulated by his mastermind brother. The 9/11 hijackers also (apparently!) had disordered thoughts.

    Nobody ever says that he needed housing services.

    Like these other attackers, James knows right from wrong and action and consequence. In one video, he said that “I wanted to kill people” but “I don’t want to go to f–king prison.”  

    Should the FBI have zeroed in on the videos James posted just before his attack, when he used more menacing language, saying, for example, that “it’s time”? 

    Sure, but that’s law enforcement, not social services. Plus, James made no direct threats — more evidence of careful planning. It may be a good idea for social-services agencies to interact more with people like James. But there are a lot of such people: people on the border of society, with plenty of time to cultivate loony ideas. 

    Is New York City going to hunt each of these people down and provide him with an apartment and daily intensive counseling so that he doesn’t make a cross-country trip here to attack us?
