White Supremacists Killed More People in US in 2017 Than Muslims, Antifa and Kneeling NFL Players

White Supremacists Killed More People in US in 2017 Than Muslims, Antifa and Kneeling NFL Players Combined
Michael Harriot Yesterday 11:08am

Ladies and gentlemen, after tabulating the votes for all of the scary, terrorist bogeymen who killed American citizens in 2017, the award for the Domestic Extremists of the Year goes to:

(Drumroll, please ... ) Racist white people!

2017 was a banner year for white supremacists. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Extremism reports that right-wing extremists were responsible for 71 percent of all extremist-related deaths in the U.S. last year.

Black Lives Matter, a group that many whites want so badly to be considered a terrorist organization, failed to kill a single individual in 2017, as it has during every year of its existence. Antifa, which President Donald Trump condemned as one of the groups in Charlottesville, Va., that had very bad people “on both sides,” did not cause a death last year. More tragically, the Anti-Defamation League could not find anyone who died or was even critically injured by a professional football player who kneeled during the national anthem.

No they're not, and they should not be allowed anywhere near our government.

WHAT is wrong with them? Is it just lust for power and twisting of Christianity? Or just pedestrian evil, but in power?

Probably 2, but definitely kneeling football players. That hurt nobody.
