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

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.

Of the 34 extremist-related murders, most (18) were committed by white supremacists, including the death of Richard W. Collins III, a Bowie State University student killed hours before his graduation by Sean Urbanski, and the fatal stabbing of two people by Jeremy Christian during a racist rant aboard a Portland train.

Despite the hype of conservatives around the country, many of last year’s nominees failed miserably. 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.
