Writing for the Huffington Post, writer Shea Watts wonders aloud how the United States could possibly condemn ISIS when the US has been committing terrorism for hundreds of years.
His article, “Looking Within: The Convenient Amnesia of American Terrorism,†argues that Americans have perpetrated terrorism for centuries and that we must face these facts or else we are hypocrites for condemning the terror attacks in Paris last week.
“How much blood is on our hands?†Watts asks. “What a shame that we, as a nation, have not looked upon our sins. We have not asked forgiveness for the the lives and bodies and communities we have destroyed. These unreconciled acts of the past continue to manifest themselves in our society.â€
Hypocritical whites and Christians have terrorized black people for hundreds of years. African Americans are, in fact, still subjects of terrorism.
“We live in a country where the dead body of a black teenager can be left in the street for hours, where police are recorded, time after time, beating, shooting, and mistreating blacks, but are seldom charged for their crimes,†he writes.
“How convenient is it that so many act as if these acts of terror never happened or pretend that this degree of hate does not exist?†Watts asks.
“Do we realize how these terrorist acts are reaffirmed and even recommitted by not only our actions, but also by our words?†he says, stating that words can “recommit†acts of terror. “At the very least, this should make one pause and think before one says, “ALL LIVES MATTER.â€â€
Watts concludes, “So before you make a statement on race, educate yourself on the history of American terrorism… We must come to terms with our own violence against our own people before we can condemn ISIS and the likes of them.â€
So the idiot is saying that only certain lives matter? Like the perpetually offended and aggrieved?
the insane running the ayslum
The Monkees hit:
“Take the Last Train to Mali”
Does the author have the guts to name the groups whose lives don’t matter to her?
See, see you mean-old right-wing monsters?
Obama’s desired race war is gestating quite well. Third trimester delivery coming soon?
Kinda like blowing up a bus or building full of people? Are these people idiots?
twisted convoluted bs...surely no ones history is perfect except Christ..all problems in this world do not come only from Man..Satan is gathering souls..Islam is one tool he uses..
Got Jesus?
Doesn't sound like the author has ever met Him.
If that terrifies you, "Bite me."
So we have people like this. Baby butchery. Warmists that want to exterminate people for mother Gaia.
Anyone else think we can survive happily as one nation?
Straight out of Mao’s Little Red Book.
The KKK was founded by Democrats and went after Jews,Catholics, and Republicans, not just black people. It WAS terrorist and it waged an insurgency for 100 years after the Civil War.
Or to put it in Iraq terms, the Civil War took 100 years to end.
It is literally true that reality is malleable and plastic to a liberal. It is also true that he who changes the meaning of words and phrases gets to determine the outcome of the discussion.
I don’t see any sign of it.
If it actually comes to war, I don’t see not killing the white Marxists who lead and finance this stuff. Or their defenders. That equates to myself and constitutionality like me fighting a faction that isn’t black if things come to a head.
I have mixed race children. Their mother is not part of this milieu. I would kill anyone who attacked any of them, even if doing so on the theory that color equals political persuasion.
I'm thinking he should go to Syria and personally deliver his thoughts in person to ISIS.
The author is the definition of a “Domestic Enemy”. He clearly hates America just like most leftists.
