If you solely listen to the Left Stream Media would sense
that White Supremacist violence (in other
words violent acts of racism perpetrated by White People) is a problem on
the rise globally.
If you surf Social Media it is my sense a fine line is
arising between Caucasians weary of White People being blamed for all the ills
of non-White People and actual White Supremacists such as Neo-Nazis, Skinheads (UK & USA), KKK, White Nationalists warping the Christian faith and other racists escaping the top of
my thought process. The Left too often racks White People weary of being blamed
for racist woes with the racist variations inherent in White Supremacism. That
is an error that could very well push the weary-of-blame crowd to be supportive
with actual White racists.
The Patriot Post
article below evokes the weary-of-blame crowd pointing out the obvious
statistically; viz., Islamic terrorism far outnumbers violence associated with
White Extremism.

No, White-Supremacist Violence Is Not a Major Problem
The New York Times peddles a false narrative that violent white
extremism is on the rise.
Apr. 10, 2019
On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing that
Democrats billed as an examination of “hate crimes, the impact white
nationalist groups have on American communities, and the spread of white
identity ideology.” It quickly became quite evident that the Democrats’ true
intention for the hearing was to promote the mendacious narrative that “white
extremism” is a major and growing problem — and President Donald Trump is
supposedly the driving force behind it.
In a seemingly coordinated effort to advance this narrative,
The New York Times last week ran an article claiming that
“Attacks by White Extremists Are Growing.” The story highlighted the attack in Christchurch, New Zealand,
where a self-proclaimed white supremacist murdered 50 people in an act of
terror aimed at Muslims. The article then claimed that the Christchurch
murderer “drew inspiration” from “an informal global network of white
extremists whose violent attacks are occurring with greater frequency in the
West.”
Once again we have a case of the narrative leading the
story. It’s clear that the narrative the Times is pushing is that violence
perpetrated by white supremacists is a serious and growing threat that is worse
than people may believe. But do the facts support such a conclusion? Well, as
is often the case with Leftmedia outlets like the Times, not so much.
The Times excluded several important contextualizing
details, which immediately calls into question the reliability of the entire
narrative. For example, no numbers were provided so as to establish the total
number of extremist-related violent incidents globally. In 2017 alone, nearly
20,000 people were murdered by groups associated with radical Islamic
extremists — a number not provided by the Times.
Meanwhile, the Times offers a nine-year timeline that notes
15 incidents of “white extremist” violence resulting in 194 people killed that
were purportedly committed by individuals motivated by white racism. However,
after a closer look into these attacks, one quickly finds that the motive of
“white extremism” is not entirely clear … or even there at all.
As Seth Barron, writing for City Journal, observes, “Some of the most
prominent killings … resist categorization as acts of white racial terror. Ali
Sonboly, the son of Iranian Shi'ite Muslim immigrants and visibly a racial
minority, carried out the 2016 Munich mall shooting. The 2016 Umpqua Community
College shooting was carried out by a self-identified ‘mixed-race’ man, as was
the 2014 Isla Vista massacre, whose perpetrator believed that being
half-Chinese made him unattractive to women. The 2018 Toronto van massacre was
perpetrated by a white man who declared that he was part of an ‘Incel
Rebellion’ against the ‘Chads and Stacys’ of the world — in other words, he was
angry that he could not get a girlfriend and was committed to overthrowing the
‘beautiful people.’ The killer mowed down pedestrians in Toronto’s business
district at random. The Times’ inclusion of these four incidents calls into
question the value of its diagnosis of ‘white extremist killers.’”
Finally, as The Wall Street Journal reports, “Since 1990, far-right
extremists have killed 477 people in 214 attacks in the U.S., according to the
crime data. A majority of the assaults targeted minorities, with 241 people
dying in 170 attacks. (In the same period, the Global Terrorism Database records
31 far-right attacks with one or more deaths.)” In other words, violent attacks
committed by “white extremists” are not on the rise — rather, the frequency of
these violent hate crimes has remained relatively steady for the past 50 years.
In any case, the crimes are dwarfed by attacks perpetrated by Islamofascists.
