47 47  On July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson fatally shot five Dallas police officers, injuring nine more. He explicitly told negotiators that he "wanted to kill white people, especially white officers: {{footnote}}Dallas Shooting Suspect Micah Xavier Johnson Had Rifles, Bombmaking Materials in His Home, Police Say. https://abcnews.go.com/US/dallas-shooting-suspect-wanted-kill-white-people-white/story?id=40431306{{/footnote}}

49 49  Johnson was killed by a police-controlled explosive during the standoff. As such, ~*~*he was never arrested or charged~*~*. However, the racial motive was clear, and the case met all the elements of a federal hate crime — yet the DOJ made no public declaration, and the media aggressively avoided the racial framing.

52 52  - Media focused on Johnson’s military service, stress, and political frustration
53 53  - Most outlets used passive voice and abstracted motives (“upset over police shootings”) rather than stating the racial targeting directly

58 +This case shows how hate crimes against White people can be erased not through legal omission, but through narrative control. The framing minimized the racial nature of the crime to avoid disrupting politically useful narratives.

61 -On April 18, 2017, Kori Ali Muhammad fatally shot three White men in Fresno, California, following an earlier killing of a White security guard. Muhammad told police that he intended to “kill as many White males as possible” and targeted his victims specifically because of their race.{{footnote}}2017 Fresno shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Fresno_shootings{{/footnote}}

63 -He also shouted "Allahu Akbar" upon arrest. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer stated during a press conference that Muhammad explained he was upset at White people, whom he blamed for the oppression of Black people.{{footnote}}“He wanted to kill as many white males as possible.” The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/19/fresno-shooting-hate-crime-kori-ali-muhammad{{/footnote}}

65 -Muhammad was ultimately charged with four murders and sentenced to life without parole. A single state-level hate crime charge was filed, but no federal charges were brought, and the event was not treated as terrorism by the FBI or DOJ.

67 -The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which consistently labels right-wing or White-perpetrated attacks as acts of domestic terrorism, does not include the Fresno shooting in its 2017 extremism report.{{footnote}}Murder and Extremism in the United States 2017 – ADL. https://www.adl.org/resources/report/murder-and-extremism-united-states-2017{{/footnote}} The same report includes several cases involving White attackers with far less ideologically explicit motives.

69 -Fresno police made a point to declare that Muhammad was "not a terrorist" but rather a "racist filled with hate."{{footnote}}2017 Fresno shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Fresno_shootings{{/footnote}} This choice of framing illustrates how racial motive is treated differently depending on the racial identity of the victims and perpetrator.
