Signal received: White nationalists ecstatic over Trump’s proposed policy change on terrorism
Last week, Donald Trump’s administration indicated that the Countering Violent Extremism program would no longer track white supremacist organizations. This shift of federal resources is but one more sign that Trump’s administration does not view protecting the civil rights of African-Americans and other people of color as an important mission.

MUST SEE: Roof’s radicalization, SEO, Google algorithms and white supremacist propaganda
The Miseducation of Dylann Roof
By Southern Poverty Law Center
Published on Jan 18, 2017
How
did Dylann Roof go from being someone who was not raised in a racist
home to someone so steeped in white supremacist propaganda that he
murdered nine African Americans during a Bible study?
The answer lies, at least in part, in the way that fragile minds can be shaped by the algorithm that powers Google Search.
It lies in the way Google’s algorithm can promote false propaganda written by extremists at the expense of accurate information from reputable sources.
Roof’s radicalization began, as he later wrote in an online manifesto, when he typed the words “black on White crime” into Google and found what he described as “pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders.”
The first web pages he found were produced by the Council of Conservative Citizens, a crudely racist group that once called black people a “retrograde species of humanity.” Roof wrote that he has “never been the same since that day.” As he delved deeper, because of the way Google’s search algorithm worked, he was immersed in hate materials.
Google says its algorithm takes into account how trustworthy, reputable or authoritative a source is.
In Roof’s case, it clearly did not.
Roof was convicted and sentenced to death in the June 17, 2015, massacre at the historic Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston.
But there are many others who may be susceptible to the kind of racist propaganda that influenced him.
