Anger from Holding Whites Accountable as Biggest American Terrorist Threat

Turns out people get angry when the top is held accountable, and singled out.

GlobalPost ran an article with the headline, “White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States.”

"Non-Muslim extremists in the United States had killed nearly twice as many Americans since 9/11 as Muslim “jihadists.” Many of the non-Muslim extremists — whom we’ll just call terrorists from now on — were motivated by right-wing anti-government beliefs or white supremacist ideologies. Nearly all of them were white US citizens," the article stated.

But of course, the next obvious question is, why not state that most of the killers are male. Why lump women into the mix too?
