That was done by the same group of muslim extremists.

It is true that there have been other bombings.  I can recall that there
was a building at University of Wisconsin, Madison that was bombed as a
protest to Viet Nam War.  That one is personal to me since I spent a lot
of time in that building but left UW about a year before the bomb.

There was Timothy McVay who did a car bomb on an Oklahoma building which
pretty much destroyed the building.

There was a bombing of the Boston Marathon by two people.

There may have been other bombings that don't come to mind right now.
I believe that all of these were done by white American citizens.  None
of the other bombings approach the damage and loss of life that occurred
for the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade center and the Pentagon.

Partly true, but look at the arrests and the term of jail time for
cocaine.  White people were the primary users of cocaine powder.  Black
people mostly used crack cocaine.  The term of sentences for crack were
larger than those for powder cocaine.  I don't know why, but that used to
be true (but may have been modified to put penalty for each in parity).
