McVeigh "set up by the government" is a fringe conspiracy theory held by militia adjacents and truther circles, and crucially, it is not a defense of McVeigh. McVeigh confessed. He was proud of what he did. He was tried, convicted, and executed in 2001 with bipartisan public support. The handful of conspiracy theorists who imagine a deeper federal plot do not raise money for him, do not lionize him, and do not call him a martyr. They reject the official narrative without rehabilitating the man. That is not what the Karmelo Anthony GoFundMe represents.
James Byrd's community was not divided. The killers were convicted by a Texas jury in a Texas court. John William King was executed in 2019. Lawrence Brewer was executed in 2011. Shawn Berry is serving life. The White political establishment, from then-Governor George W. Bush on down, condemned the killing without qualification. There was no White-led campaign claiming Byrd somehow deserved it, no celebrity defense fund, no GoFundMe for any of the three killers. You are confusing fringe noise with mainstream sentiment.
Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin are victims, not perpetrators. This is the second time you have made that error. The relevant perpetrators are the McMichaels and George Zimmerman. The McMichaels were convicted by a White Georgia jury and got life. Their post conviction GoFundMe drew 845 donors, which works out to 0.43 donations per 100,000 White Americans, the floor of the chart and roughly one seventy fifth of the Karmelo Anthony rate. Zimmerman was acquitted on the physical and forensic evidence showing Martin was on top of him beating his head into concrete, and he is not White, he is Afro-Peruvian Hispanic on his mother's side. Zimmerman's pretrial legal defense fund is materially different from a post conviction martyrdom campaign. Pretrial legal defense is the constitutional right to mount a defense. Post conviction six figure transfers to a confessed and convicted murderer is veneration of guilt.
Luigi Mangione is the cleanest demonstration of the distinction you keep flattening. The people defending Mangione are not White nationalists. They are anti-corporate progressives, single payer advocates, socialists, and online leftists, drawn from every racial group, and disproportionately led by non-White progressive voices in media and politics. AOC's base is not a White tribal coalition. Bernie's base is not a White tribal coalition. The Mangione defense is ideological hatred of the health insurance industry, not racial solidarity with a White perpetrator. If you want to argue that woke and socialist ideology constitute their own tribalism, that is a coherent argument, but it is not racial tribalism, and conflating the two erases every non-White leftist who signed onto Mangione fan accounts. Communism is not White. Woke is not White. Pretending otherwise insults the considerable non-White contingent of both.
Per capita donor counts settle the empirical question, because dollar totals reflect a handful of large donors and donor counts reflect actual community mobilization. Pre conviction self defense and acquittal cases mobilize roughly symmetrically across communities. Daniel Penny pulled 34.00 donations per 100,000 from a multiracial coalition including the Black women he protected on the subway. Pieper Lewis pulled 33.91 from the Black community. Shiloh Hendrix 16.00. Karen Read 7.16. Kyle Rittenhouse 4.16. Darren Wilson over 2.86. Zimmerman's trial defense in the 2.5 to 3.0 range. Chrystul Kizer 2.41. The order in the pre conviction column does not break by race, and the top figures are split across White, Black, and cross racial coalitions.
Post conviction veneration breaks decisively. Karmelo Anthony, convicted of murder, sits at 32.19 donations per 100,000 Black Americans, the highest figure for any convicted killer on the entire chart in any community. Grand Master Jay, convicted in federal court of aiming rifles at federal agents, sits at 11.60. Derek Chauvin, the most racially polarizing convicted White killer of a Black victim in modern American memory, drew 3,597 lifetime donors across his defense and bail funds combined, which works out to 1.84 per 100,000 White Americans. The McMichaels sit at 0.43. Zimmerman's post acquittal gun replacement fund sits at 0.40. Karmelo Anthony's rate exceeds Chauvin's by a factor of 17.5 and exceeds the McMichaels by a factor of 74.9. Grand Master Jay exceeds Chauvin by a factor of 6.3 and the McMichaels by 27. These are not noise margins. These are one to two full orders of magnitude.
Chauvin is the negative control that establishes the floor. If a White racial defense reflex for convicted killers of Black victims existed at the scale you assert, Chauvin would be the case where it showed. He drew 3,597 lifetime donors. The McMichaels drew 845. Karmelo Anthony drew approximately 15,000 in the months after his conviction for stabbing a White teenager, with sustained celebrity reinforcement and coordinated racial framing. The empirical asymmetry is established.
Tribalism exists in every group. The original argument was about scale and uniformity in racial defense of convicted killers, and the per capita data confirms it. You have produced fringe conspiracy theorists who do not actually defend McVeigh, victims you confused for perpetrators twice, a Hispanic shooter you again counted as White, a multiracial ideological coalition you mislabeled as White tribalism, and a chart in which the White post conviction comparables sit at the bottom while the Black post conviction cases sit at the top. None of that closes the gap. The gap is quantified now. It runs between six and seventy five fold depending on which comparable you choose. It is one of the cleanest empirical asymmetries in contemporary American race data.
