Welcome to another @culturestrike editorial cartoon. Last week, white terrorists killed more people in the United States than refugees from countries included in Trump’s Muslim travel ban in the last 40 years. In Maryland, a white Alt-Reich terrorist stabbed a black U.S. army officer to death. And in Oregon, a man stabbed two people to death after being confronted on a public train for his anti-Muslim tirade. We have yet to hear the White House condemn these acts of terrorism by white supremacy extremists, as it doesn’t fit their anti-Muslim anti-POC narrative. The last time U.S. citizens were killed by refugees, it was in 1977, when Cuban refugees killed three people. Zero refugees from any of the countries listed by the president’s travel ban have killed anyone. This means that the vetting process for refugees is already extreme. According to the CATO institute, you have a 0.00003% chance of dying from a terrorist plot conceived by a foreign-born terrorist. This means that, if there were 10,000,000 terrorist acts popping off in the U.S. today, only 3 would be conducted by foreigners. Meanwhile, ICE agents are going rogue in their attempt to boost their arrests of undocumented immigrants (particularly those who don’t have criminal records) in increasingly demeaning ways. Funding is going into the VOICE hotline, in which people are reporting crimes committed by immigrants. Thousands of U.S. citizen children have been separated from their parents, according to reports from ICE. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is steadily on the rise. The White House continues to rework travel bans from predominantly Muslim countries (despite several failures). And yet, nothing is said about white terrorists. It’s as though the White House and all their supporters keep banking on the idea that the least likely scenario in a terrorist attack on U.S. soil will happen in order to justify their agenda.
