As for what to do about it, I have no idea. But the first step is to just stop treating white terrorism as "just crazy kids being crazy" and not taking it as seriously as organized terrorism.

The act of terrorism does not correlate with race at all, I'm not sure how you reached the conclusion that it did. Last time I checked, anyone from any background or reasoning could blow up a bus or kill 50 people.
4/8chan
IS meme culture, so unless you're willing to never use as much as an emoji again and instruct your friends to do the same, you won't be accomplishing much. If the argument is that the needle in the haystack was spawned from 4/8chan, and subsequently 4/8chan must be taken seriously, then this board might as well remove every available meme from the emoji board. By that logic, using them only furthers the culture that the same online people you are referencing created to spawn this asshole.
If you aren't willing to do that, then you must not take that culture very
seriously.
