Nationalists
So now, finally, the FBI admits white nationalism is like ISIS. Think of all the horror Black Americans could have been spared at the hands of racist terrorists. They have lynched and tortured thousands of Blacks, bombed their churches, shot, assaulted, intimidated, harassed and discriminated with immunity. For over two hundred years the KKK and other hate groups have been a stable, public institution.
The numbers have grown enough to be worrisome to others. In Canada, the Proud Boys, Aryan Guard, Blood and Honour Canada, Canadian Nationalist Party and the Heritage Front are just some names in the under-researched network of people who refer to themselves as white nationalists, supremacists or the alt-right. The idea that anti Semitism, racism, Islamophobia, and ant-immigrant hatred is mild and nothing to worry about is to underestimate the broad sentiments not outwardly expressed in Canada. The white male feels under threat and is organizing and being supported to maintain dominance. Not that they are being pushed from the stage, but that they are refusing to share the stage.
Think of how many alt-right folks there are in the U.S. to be able to elect and continue supporting a racist president. Think of the possibility of electing a PM in this country with similar ideology. These folks are everywhere claiming they want to take their country back by promoting "white racial consciousness." Claiming they are the only pure race. That "outsiders" are a threat to their autonomy. That they are being denied free speech. These supremacist have been calling for a race war for a long time.
After centuries of evidence, finally, the FBI is recognizing them as a threat to peace and security. They are seen as comparable to ISIS with their hate ideology. Americans and Canadians might now realize the threat from ISIS is weak in comparison to homegrown terrorists.
