You supplied zero figures regarding how many deaths there were.
once again:
What are the honest true figures for the number of people actually killed by white supremists in the last month?
Those figures haven't been released yet.
For last year, though:
"White supremacists and other like-minded groups have committed a majority of the terrorist attacks in the United States this year, according to a report by a security think tank that echoed warnings made by the Department of Homeland Security this month.
"The report, published Thursday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, found that white supremacist groups were responsible for 41 of 61 “terrorist plots and attacks” in the first eight months of this year, or 67 percent.
"The finding comes about two weeks after an annual assessment by the Department of Homeland Security warned that violent white supremacy was the “most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland” and that white supremacists were the most deadly among domestic terrorists in recent years.""What about the year before?", I hear you ask.
• In 2019, domestic extremists killed at least 42 people
in the United States in 17 separate incidents. This
number makes 2019 the sixth deadliest year on
record for domestic extremist-related killings
since 1970.
• The 42 total deaths in 2019 is less than 2018’s total
(53) but higher than 2017’s (41).
• As is typically the case, the extremist-related
murders of 2019 were overwhelmingly
(90%) linked to
right-wing extremists. All but one of the incidents had
ties to right-wing extremism.
• While 2019 was the first year since 2012 that ADL
tracked
no killings linked to domestic Islamist
extremism, a deadly shooting incident at Naval Air
Station Pensacola in December appears to be a
foreign terrorist incident.
• Extremist-related killings in 2019 were
dominated by
the white supremacist shooting spree at a Walmart in
El Paso, Texas, in August, which left 22 people dead
and 24 more wounded. This attack, intended to target
Hispanic people, was the deadliest attack in modern
times against the Hispanic community in the United
States.
• For the eighth year in a row, domestic extremists
overwhelmingly used firearms to commit mass
killings. Almost half of the people killed by extremists
in the past 10 years were killed in mass murders, all
but one of which involved the use of firearms.
