(4) An unclassified May 2017 joint intelligence bulletin from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security found that “white supremacist extremism poses [a] persistent threat of lethal violence,” and that White supremacists “were responsible for 49 homicides in 26 attacks from 2000 to 2016 … more than any other domestic extremist movement”.


Now, does this mean it should be ignored or that the people killed are no less deserving of life, as some here will predictably try to spin this post?  Absolutely not.  But a terrorist threat that killed 49 people of 16 years, or around three people a year, doesn't sound like nearly the threat that we constantly hear about from the media.  Criminal street gangs kill more people in Chicago in a month than this terrorist threat did in sixteen years.  They should still be investigated and prosecuted whenever applicable, but let's please not act like it's the major threat that we hear about on MSNBC every five minutes.

I'm pretty sure the bi-partisan support of the term black on black violence has given americans the luxury to dismiss gang violence more than any sort of news outlet has. 

How many of us are going to be black and on the southside of Chicago tonight?
