Not that it's to anyone's surprise, but since Obama became the nominee for president, radical right wing violence has soared.
"A report published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point Military Academy on Jan. 15 discusses the potential dangers of “violent far-right” organizations, which has angered some conservatives that believe the military should focus on international threats.
The executive summary of the paper, “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right,” claims that “since 2007, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of attacks and violent plots originating from individuals and groups who self- identify with the far-right of American politics.”
Written by Arie Perliger, Director of Terrorism Studies at the Combating Terrorism Center and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, the paper asserts that three distinct ideologies exist in the “American violent far right.” Those are “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement,” the last of which “includes mainly Christian Identity groins such as the Aryan Nations.”
“Findings indicate that…it is not only feelings of deprivation that motivate those involved in far right violence, but also the sense of empowerment that emerges when the political system is perceived to be increasingly permissive to far right ideas,” it later reads.
The rise in attacks in the 21st century were significant, as “Although in the 1990s the average number of attacks per year was 70.1, the average number of attacks per year in the first 11 years of the twenty-first century was 307.5, a rise of more than 400%.”
West Point study on ?violent far right? shows ?dramatic rise? in attacks | The Raw Story
Black race hustlers always try to pull the white man is the source of the problem card. I wonder how many deaths the so-called far right has caused, a handful at most. In Chicago in 2012, 500 homicides took place and committed 90%+ by Blacks! Same thing throughout the country. In fact most blacks were murdered by other blacks in Chicago 2012 than during the blacks were murdered by whites in the 50s, 60s and 70s combined!
I guarantee Black violence against Blacks remained very high after Obama's election, any theory on that one loser?
