It's about time the FBI will put more resources, energy and time into domestic terrorism. The US has remained pretty slow on focusing on domestic terrorism.
Groups like The Base, a white supremacist group, are growing and need to be dealt with organization. (And why did the name the group "The Base?" That's a copy of "Al Qaeda.")
"The FBI has elevated its assessment of the threat posed by racially motivated violent extremists in the U.S. to a "national threat priority" for fiscal year 2020, FBI director Christopher Wray said Wednesday. He said the FBI is placing the risk of violence from such groups "on the same footing" as threats posed to the country by foreign terrorist organizations such as ISIS and its sympathizers."
If you read the book by ex-FBI counter-terror chief Andrew McCabe he goes through a bunch of investigations that he led, from the underwear bomber to the Fort Dix Six to the Boston marathon bombing.
He mentions only one white supremacist attack. It was a rather lame effort in Spokane, WA to bomb an MLK day parade. The bomb failed to go off, and no one was injured.
To focus on white supremacy groups at a time when there are so many other real threats would seem to be a waste of resources.

What other threats? White supremacy groups kill Americans with regularity, but usually they are classified as "gang crimes."
Its important to keep in mind though, 'domestic terrorism' CAN BE mistaken for acts of patriotism.
There are plenty of examples of this in our history...the American REvolution was essentially 'domestic terrorism' on a mass scale (but we won, so it became 'patriotism' then), if we had lost, all the patriots we celebrate today, would have gone down in history as traitors and criminals.
The perspective can also change how its viewed/ or labelled...from a tyrannical govts position, 'patriotism' would be terrorism (it would be a threat to them), but to the citizens, it would be an act of patriotism.

Regularity? How many?
Classified as gang crimes, because well, that is what it is? No different than the constant murdering by black gangs and other gangs made up of racial/ethnic groups?
Is classifying these attacks as "gang attacks" no different than hardly classifying a single murder of a white by as a hate crime? Oh wait, you mean there is more to it than just the race of the victim and perpetrator?
With groups like MS-13, Cripes, Bloods and dozens of other active gangs that are actually committing violent crimes, including murder, on a daily basis....you want to put resources on the boogeyman of "white supremacists"? While their mentality is vile (much like Nation of Islam or BLM-other supremacist groups), their actions and number of crimes actually committed are minimal or non-existent in comparison. But hey, they are white people, so they must be shut down.
The thread is an attempt by the OP to paint "white supremacists" as a big threat to Americans and thus GTVO among blacks. It's a transparent campaign ploy. In truth, white supremacists remain a very small fringe group, with very few members. (There was a protest march of some white supremacist group in northern Virginia, and five idiots showed up. Likewise, I was in Ocean City when there was a planned march by the KKK, and less than a dozen were there.)
And I agree with Toyman above. Let's focus our energies on violent gangs like MS-13, the LA street gangs, and the like, who are committing massively more vicious crime, including murders. (And for MS-13, whose members are largely illegal, let's deport upon first arrest/conviction.)
Does anyone know anybody, even one person, in a white gang? I do know a lot of self proclaimed non-white gang bangers.
