Yes, the right wing extremists are disgusting. And, yes, this is a story of redemption and positive change in the life of Mr Picciolini.

However, the story implieded that 74 percent of murders by extremists in the last ten years were by right wingers. Is that correct?

Should I therefore join Antifa? When will 60 minutes do a story on the Antifa violence and their suppression of American political expression and free speech?

Yes, that is the purpose of this piece. And what is there not to despise about these white extremists? They are an inviting target.

Funny, they didn't mention this in their report. Just an honest oversight, I am sure. :)

Didn’t white nationalists with guns stop slavery?

It might be, since the term “extremist” is rarely applied to minorities. After all, if a white guy and a black guy get into a fight and racial insults are thrown, the white is assumed to be the racist.

Numbers don’t lie. Stats do, especially when you examine the includes/excludes.

It's very interesting to note the psych-ops in this piece;

It was subtle, if u are white and think diversity and government has stacked the deck against u, the u are a racist.

However, if u are black and believe the deck is stacked against u, u are not a racist.

They combine how many white people feel, with this avowed reformed racist testimony to make white people feel they are racist which is some mind bending nonsense (bull shit).
