In the U.S., 64 victims were killed in 34 terrorist attacks by white supremacists and white nationalists between 2015 and 2019, the report showed. The only groups with more deaths attributed to their attacks were jihadi-inspired extremists, though the GTD said anti-government extremists matched the white supremacists' fatality numbers. In comparison, the report showed seven people were killed in the U.S. during the same time period as a result of Muslim extremist terrorist attacks.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Seven people? Omar Mateen, who was an American-born Muslim, shot and killed 49 people, and wounded another 53 in the Orlando Pulse night club in 2016, while stating in 9-1-1 calls during his attack that he was retaliating against U.S. air strikes in Syria and Iraq against ISIS, to whom he had sworn allegiance. Guess they sort of forgot that one!
Also, this statement is flat out incorrect: "...attention on racially motivated attacks by white supremacists has increased since President Donald Trump took office in 2016."
Trump was elected in 2016, but didn't take office until January 20, 2017.

White supremacy is definitely alarming on several scores.
