White Supremacists Behind 84% of Extermism-Related Murders in the U.S. Last Year
Mass shootings accounted for most extremism-related fatalities last year in the United States with over 80% of those murders committed by white supremacists, according to data released on Thursday.
Murders were classified as "extremist-related" if they were "committed in whole or part for ideological motives."
White supremacists commit the highest number of domestic extremist-related murders in most years, but the percentage last year was unusually high: 21 of the 25 murders were linked to white supremacists.
And according to the report, "All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds."
Human rights groups have raised concerns over white supremacy in the United States for years, and President Joe Biden has labeled white supremacy a poison and called on Americans to reject it.
In December, he established an inter-agency group to coordinate efforts to counter antisemitism, Islamophobia, and related forms of bias and discrimination.

How could black on white crime be so much higher, yet white extremism is the bigger problem?

Who decides what is ideological motives?
Kim Fox declared two groups of gang members shooting at each other as "mutual combat", and refused to press charges. Officials twist and contort definitions all the time like this.
FBI Arrests Five Neo Nazis Linked to Pipe Bombings

Mississippi Governor Proclaims April Confederate Heritage Month

As the country observed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day yesterday, two states observed King-Lee Day.To counter the federal holiday, Alabama and Mississippi have chosen to commemorate Confederate General Robert E. Lee, who fought in the Civil War to keep black people enslaved, on the same day.
And they are not alone:
[list][*]Both Florida and North Carolina observe the birthday of Robert E. Lee as a state holiday.
[*]Arkansas holds a memorial day for Lee, and Virginia holds a combined memorial day for Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
[*]Florida recognizes Confederate Memorial Day, and Texas recognizes Confederate Heroes Day.[/list]
Lewis V. Baldwin, a professor emeritus of religious studies at Vanderbilt University, and an author of several books on Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "The fact that both King and Lee are celebrated on the same day, speaks to what I call an 'ambivalent South'—a South that says one thing, and actually practices another."
For the fourth year in a row, Republican Governor Tate Reeves has signed a proclamation declaring April as Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi, keeping alive a 30-year-old tradition that former Republican Governor Kirk Fordice began. Black people make up 38% of Mississippi's population, which is the highest for any state.
A branch of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the SCV Camp 265 Rankin Rough & Ready's, posted a copy of the proclamation on its Facebook page. The Sons Of Confederate Veterans deny that slavery was the root cause of the "War of Northern Aggression."
It should also be noted that dumb **** Reeves signed his racist proclaimation for the non-existent date of April 31st.
