You missed an important step: nobody was on the platform saying "kill all whites" and then going and actually killing whites.

If there was a site that was filled with people saying "kill all whites", and the site was fine with this, and then one of its members went and murdered a load of white people, then yes I'd say they would probably be booted by their host too. They don't get points for booting the actual murderer after he'd done the murders.

No, because it's a lie spread by white supremacists to engender false equivalency. The Dallas police shooter was not involved in Black Lives Matter, and BLM is an explicitly non-violent organization and always has been.
