White American men are a bigger domestic terrorist threat than Muslim foreigners VOX

This is a Vox article from 2017 (click at your own peril) that I saw somebody use on Twitter. You know when you see a headline so fricking stupid that you know it’s not true? Well here’s one of em. This guy was trying to say that white men are the true domestic terrorists and used a Vox article to back up its claim. The Vox article cites a NY Times article in it.
If there were so many right-wing terrorists you’d think we’d gave known about it right? I had no idea about it until today. Am I a terrorist??

Since Trump took office, more Americans have been killed by white American men with no connection to Islam than by Muslim terrorists or foreigners.

But here at home, the bigger threat has come from a very different kind of attacker, one with no ties to religion generally or Islamist extremism specifically.
Here are just a few of the attacks that have occurred in 2017:
quote:
Sunday night, a 64-year-old white man from Nevada opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 people at a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing more than 50 and wounding more than 200.
In August, a 20-year-old white Nazi sympathizer from Ohio sped his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a woman and injuring at least 19 others.
In June, a 66-year-old white man from Illinois shot at Republican Congress members during an early morning baseball practice, severely wounding several people including Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House of Representatives Majority Whip.
In March 2017, a 28-year-old white man from Baltimore traveled to New York City with the explicit aim of killing black men. He stabbed 66-year-old Timothy Caughman to death and was charged with terrorism by New York state authorities.
In May, a 35-year-old white man from Oregon named Jeremy Joseph Christian began harassing Muslim teenagers on a train in Portland, telling them “We need Americans here!” Two men interceded; Christian then stabbed and killed them both.
quote:
In fact, between 2001 and 2015, more Americans were killed by homegrown right-wing extremists than by Islamist terrorists, according to a study by New America, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, DC.

I'd like the record to reflect I said no such thing.

Black American men commit murder at 7x that of whites. I'm sure that's in the article too?

It's true. Every day I tell my dogs: 'You are unclean. I'm going to kill you and feed you to the buzzards.'
They just wag their tails and demand dinner.

Without reading I'm going to guess they conveniently start their body count on Sept 12th 2001?

Yet black men, who represent 6% of the population, are responsible for over half the murders in our country each year. I didn’t read the entire article but I’m sure Vox included that fact somewhere in there

I think you’ll find those reported incidents to be true, fwiw
Posted on 10/24/18 at 2:47 pm to TigerFanInSouthland
Perhaps because we started calling what radical Islam is and working to thwart it

I've spoken about this before in relation to news from Men Rights Activists.
Alot of white men feel like they have been left behind by society. It's due to numerous reasons. Changing job market put them out. Women in their life either left or divorced them for reasons pertains mostly to money and status. The decline of many other traditional values in large part to to technology.
I think you get the idea.

This is absolutely true, ANTIFA is mostly white males and since Trump became President they have endangered far more Americans than Muslim terrorists have.
I said white males rather than white men because there is nothing manly about wearing a mask while sucker punching an old lady.

Do they want to compare numbers? Because I'm pretty sure that the 3000 killed in 9/11 proves this article wrong.

Just the guy I wanted to talk to.
I'm considering getting another degree in process technology. Do you think it would be easy to get a job in Louisiana with that.
I have a good job now. But sometimes I'm homesick.

The shitty part is they're factually correct. Moslems have stopped their makor attacks by and large.
