49 49  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}}

51 51  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.

53 53  For example:
54 -- The [Wikipedia article](https:~/~/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police_officers) cites over 100 news sources — yet ~*~*none mention race in their headlines~*~*
55 55  - Media focused on Johnson’s military service, stress, and political frustration
56 56  - Most outlets used passive voice and abstracted motives (“upset over police shootings”) rather than stating the racial targeting directly
57 -
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}}
62 +
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}}
64 +
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.
66 +
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.

74 +{{expandable summary="Frederick Demond Scott – Serial Murders of White Victims, No Hate Crime Charges"}}
75 +Between August 2016 and August 2017, Frederick Demond Scott, a Black male, murdered at least five White men in the Kansas City area, targeting victims who were walking alone on trails or in public parks. He was charged with six murders in total, five of which involved White male victims who appeared to have been chosen at random.
76 +
77 +According to statements in a 2017 Kansas City Star article, Scott had previously made threats in school, saying he “wanted to shoot up the school and kill all White people.”{{footnote}}Man charged in Indian Creek Trail killings threatened to ‘kill all white people,’ family said. Kansas City Star. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article164815777.html{{/footnote}} Despite this known ideology and the pattern of exclusively White victims, **no hate crime charges were filed**.
78 +
79 +The FBI and DOJ were silent. The case was not designated a hate crime federally or publicly treated as racially motivated. Instead, the killings were attributed to mental illness, with the media heavily emphasizing Scott’s schizophrenia diagnosis.
80 +
81 +Notably, none of the articles by mainstream outlets described the killings as anti-White, nor did any major civil rights groups (e.g., ADL or SPLC) acknowledge the racial pattern. The ADL, which routinely includes White-on-nonwhite attacks in its annual “extremism” and “hate” reports, did not list Scott in its summaries of hate-related violence.{{footnote}}ADL Extremism Reports 2017–2018. https://www.adl.org/resources{{/footnote}}
82 +
83 +If a White suspect had murdered five unarmed Black men with a prior threat to “kill all Black people,” the response would have been treated as a national racial crisis and likely prosecuted as a federal hate crime. In Scott’s case, the racial motive was downplayed and legally disregarded.
