FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday told lawmakers that white supremacist violence is a “persistent” and “pervasive” threat in the U.S.
"The danger, I think, of white supremacists, violent extremism or another kind of extremism is of course significant," Wray said at an FBI budget request hearing before the House Appropriations Committee.
"We assess that it is a persistent, pervasive threat," he said. "We tackle it both through our joint terrorism task forces on the domestic terrorism side as well as through our civil rights program on the civil side through hate crime enforcement."
Wray’s comments follow those of President Trump, who said after last month's mass shooting in New Zealand that white supremacists were “a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.”
Trump sparked controversy in 2017 after a deadly Charlottesville, Va., white supremacist rally when he said there "some very fine people on both sides."
The House Judiciary Committee announced it will hold a hearing on white nationalism and hate crimes on Tuesday.
"This hearing will examine hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities and the spread of white identity ideology,” the panel said in a statement. “The hearing will also foster ideas about what social media companies can do to stem white nationalist propaganda and hate speech online."
An indictment unsealed last week found that federal investigators have filed criminal charges for murder, assault and kidnapping against 18 members and associates of a violent Alaska-based white supremacist gang.
This sounds like a setup for what the Left intends to do if they win the White House and the Senate and the crazies hold the House.
This is aimed at us. Hate crime legislation was always intended to attack anyone who opposes marxists.
The dem are going to try to sew Trump into this
Get rid of Wray. PTrump
Yesterday
Their plan is obvious; denigrate the white American male to the point where any personal exhibition of US patriotism becomes an illegal offense against the state. These UNCONSTITUTIONAL red flag gun confiscation laws popping up in several states now will soon become the norm across the country; thus, you're a threat if you're a gun owner and you're pro American. NO where else to go folks. America is the last country that once offered genuine freedom and individual liberty.
guessin' i oughtta go gits me some blackface
The vast majority of “hate” crimes are done by “people of color.” It will only get worse as they are being encouraged to lash out at we, white, evil ones.
Boom. Spot on.
In what world does this guy live? Don’t they have more important things to pursue, like an attempted coup on the President??
Oh.. wait... I forgot...
Alas, as much as I admire the man's courage, energy, and commitment, it's hard to disagree with that statement.
White Supremacy = Striving to improve and accepting responsibility for your own actions. Yea, those are bad things.
No worries on that score, Dubya and John Ashcroft saw to that... CAIR vets/ vetted all islamic investigations throughout FLEOs... move along nothing to see here...Oh look! Over there...white supremacist s.
How about a hearing on deep state corruption?

Hi OP, straight up cracker here from the most crackery part of the US.
The reason white racism is increasing is because this generation of young white men were raised to be the least racist generation of whites to ever exist in the history of this planet. We grew up being taught that racism was bad, that we were all going to move past it more together towards a better future. Even here in the most traditionally racist part of the country, nearly every young white boy in my generation grew up watching black athletes, black actors, listening to black musicians, etc. It was all normal. We were 95% post-racial.
So as we got older, we stuck our hands out in friendship to EVERYONE, like we'd been taught to... and then every non-white group on the planet came by and sucker-punched us from behind, called us evil white devils, and told us that we deserve to die. We were ready and willing to move on from the past, the rest of you weren't. Instead of shaking our hands and marching off together, you chose revenge against the only white people who've ever let their guard down.
So now you's cant be our friends, and we're reforging the identity we were taught to shed."
(I don't agree with every supposition made in this missive, but it is pretty strong.)
you know, I am pushing 70 years old and I have never met a WHITE SUPREMACIST.
I wonder why?
You know, come to think of it, me neither.
I’ve run into Antifa, black nationalists, communists, Aztlans. I’ve seen tons of left wing racists.
I’ve never run into an avowed “white supremacist”. Interesting...
Is this moron even using the Obama Administration's idiotic term for Islamic extremism? And did he provide a list of all the documented acts of white supremism?
Who recommended this character?
Didn’t Trump install this idiot Wray? What a lying sack of shite. Trump just needs to close the doors on the FBI which is intent on persecuting Americans on the false claim of white supremacist threats.
I have to say Trump is terrible at human resources. He must have delegated this role when he ran his business. He needs to delegate it again.
When it turned out to be two black moslems, the experts all vanished into thin air.
Where are these white supremacists? There’s a cluster of them in northern Idaho, but where else? They’re not walking around in this county.
