On his Rumble show, Stew Peters spoke with white supremacist James Edwards about the so-called “national epidemic” of “Black-on-white crime.” During the interview Edwards attacked the civil rights movement, and downplayed white supremacist violence during the ’50s and ’60s — calling white Southerners during that time “remarkably restrained.”

Peters used his monologue to take an act of elder abuse in Florida from last April and spin it into a story of widespread racial violence.

“So every day we turn on our TV, we login to social media, and we see another Third World invader or inner city parasitic animal attacking an elderly white person in a nursing home, who’s been left there completely defenseless, with no one to speak up for them and no one to come to their aid,” he began. “It’s sick.”

Peters asked if elderly white Americans won World War II just to be “abused and raped and killed by ghetto savages.”

Peters then turned to his guest, white supremacist radio host James Edwards. “These people are getting away with this because we don’t have a serious justice system,” Peters told Edwards. “But we can defund it. We can tell the truth about it. We can expose it. And we can get rid of these animals and exterminate these parasites, can’t we?”

“One would hope,” Edwards replied. “It’s going to take some creative action. There are systemic problems that plague our country, but not ones that they tell you about.”

Edwards called stories like the one Peters highlighted “a dime a dozen,” and said there is a ”generation or two of non-whites who have been taught that any shortcoming in their lives, whether it be academic or economic or whatever, is due to white racism.” Reports on the crime have not mentioned a racial motive.

Edwards then invited the show’s viewers to “look back” at the “mythical amount of violence that white Southerners supposedly displayed against Blacks during the so-called civil rights era.” He complained that there are still headlines about the lynching of Emmett Till, and that a movie about it was released two years ago.

“And I say that the most remarkable thing about violence in the South at that time was how remarkable little there was,” he claimed.

“I’m not saying that I wish there had been more — I was born in 1980. But if you look back at it as an objective observer, and you consider the entirely radical, immediate change that was being forced upon those people at the point of a bayonet, you have to say that they were remarkably restrained.”

Edwards said that he “had the opportunity to interview the officer who arrested Rosa Parks” in 2008. He told Peters that “this wasn’t gonna be a shock” to him or his audience, but that “everything you’ve learned about that time in history is a lie,” calling it “no different than” the modern “BLM riots.”

In a 2010 article commemorating the 55th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ arrest, Edwards called Parks a “Communist” and wrote, “It never ceases to amaze me how lawbreakers (Parks, ‘civil rights’ activists, illegal aliens, etc.) are heralded as heroes by the media while hard working, tax paying, God fearing Middle Americans are treated as criminals.”

He also complained about the attention being paid to white murder victims. “You hear about Emmett Till,” he said. “Of course what about Cannon Hinnant, the 5-year-old boy who was shot in the head riding his bicycle by a Black neighbor? Any movies about that?”

Hinnant, a 5-year-old boy from North Carolina, was murdered in 2020 by his neighbor, Darius Sessoms. The crime was not considered racially motivated, and Sessoms was sentenced to life without parole after entering an Alford plea in 2022. Nonetheless it became a cause célèbre for white supremacists who wanted to push a race war narrative.
