"The White House plays no role in designating domestic terror organizations," the response read. "The U.S. government does not generate a list of domestic terror organizations, and therefore we are not able to address the formal request of your petition."

"We recognize that, over the past few years, more people have died in this country in attacks by domestic extremists than in attacks associated with international terrorist groups."

Which brings us to the second point: Black Lives Matter isn't a terrorist organization.
