" A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report, produced in conjunction with the FBI, documented 24 violent, right-wing domestic attacks that took place between 2010-2014, whilst a report by the New America Foundation found that of the 28 deadly home-grown terror attacks since 9/11, 18 incidents were inspired by right-wing terrorism and 10 by radical Islamic fundamentalism. The FBI is specifically tasked to investigate and prevent incidents of home-grown terrorism, the ‘domestic’ threat. In a testimony not long after 9/11, Dale L Watson, Executive Assistant Director of the FBI Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence division gave evidence before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In this he stated that ‘at the national level, formal right-wing hate groups such as the National Alliance, the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC) and the Aryan Nations, represent a continuing terrorist threat.’ He also stated that ‘right-wing groups continue to represent a serious terrorist threat. Two of the seven planned acts of terrorism prevented in 1999 were potentially large-scale, high-casualty attacks being planned by organised right-wing extremist groups.’"

"At the same time, the United States also faces significant challenges from domestic terrorists. In fact, between 1980 and 2000, the FBI recorded 335 incidents or suspected incidents of terrorism in this country. Of these, 247 were attributed to domestic terrorists, while 88 were determined to be international in nature."

The reason why we haven't had mass scale white extremist attacks is because the FBI had been closely watching these groups and thwarting them.  But, as a PP noted, Trump has told the FBI to no longer focus on domestic white terrorist groups.[/quote]
