Letter from Oklahoma subscriber concerning white supremacy definition

By Joanne Yarwood, Broken Arrow, OK

Dear Editor,
I see the words “white supremacist” used as if they are a group of people that are domestic terrorists by the new FBI Director Wray and quoted by others in letters. I thought the name should be explained and what it really stands for.
If you look it up it says it’s the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society to the exclusion of other race and ethnic groups, in particular Blacks or Jewish people. Do we feel that way as white people? I don’t think so. Using it as a way to accuse all whites of this word makes me very unhappy. I have never heard Director Wray accuse BLM and Antifa of domestic terrorism, yet they are the two groups that rioted and destroyed and burned down parts of cities all across the nation. If they ever went to jail, they were bailed out by their movie star friends. Didn’t you read that also? 
Yet the people that rioted and broke into the Capital (which wasn’t a good thing) are accused of intending to kill congressmen and killing a policeman with a fire extinguisher. First of all, they never found one gun on one of them so how violent were they? The one policeman as we learned later was not murdered by a fire extinguisher. They are not sure what killed him; maybe a stroke they are thinking now. The only one that was shot and killed by a gun was from a Capital policeman stopping an unarmed gal that was breaking the window to get in. Nothing more was said about him.
We now are going to watch the trial on the policeman that was charged in killing George Floyd. Let’s hope he gets a fair trial with all evidence shown. We already see crowds gathering saying he is guilty before it even starts and we heard his family got 27 million dollars from the city for his death. Let’s hope we see a peaceful verdict. It’s been very painful for everyone.
