Why Are White People Culpable For Stephen Paddock But Not Arabs For Islamic Terrorism?
The Federalist ^ | 10/04/2017 | David Marcus

Posted on 10/04/2017 5:03:55 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

The argument is that American society is and always has been a terrorist white supremacist enterprise.

When I was a young student my father told me a story from his college days. He was a freshman at Temple University and his professor asked for the definition of the word “progress.” Prepared for class, my dad answered, only to be told he was wrong.

Dad objected, saying he had consulted several dictionaries. The professor said, “Young man, I’ve written dictionaries.” It was an important lesson about what words mean and who gets to decide.

Today, American society is locked in such a battle regarding the word terrorism. For several decades the word seemed to have a clear meaning. It involved acts of violence in support of a political agenda. More than that, it required that a group of people who objected to that agenda would be targeted and terrorized. The most obvious example has been Islamic terror, and the killing of innocents in support of its ends.

But in the wake of recent mass shootings by white men such as Stephen Paddock in Las Vegas, progressives have demanded that these incidents also be regarded as terrorism. They see the failure to label them as such as an example of white privilege. Often, as is the case in the recent massacre in Las Vegas, this demand is made before any facts are known about the motive for the shooting.

Yes, It’s Another Race Thing

Because white devils are the embodiment of evil, generically distilled by a superior black african scientist. Don’t you know?

Louis Freak-con believes and spouts this BS to millions without condemnation by academia or libtard media. They ooed and ahed at his supremacist marches on DC and lied about the numbers.

Well, we did criticize for Muslims not taking to the streets to protest 9/11. Am I supposed to publicly protest ... whiteness?

Because white people are the devils according to the left..the Muslims are the protected class according to leftists so they can slaughter whoever they want and are NOT responsible for their actions..Jihadist kills 80+ people with a TRUCK in France, don’t ban trucks that’s crazy..nut case who hated Republicans kill 59 people with a gun and quick gotta ban guns

the answer is simple- the agenda of white people is not to kill the infidels...the agenda of islamic terrorists most of whom are arabs, is to kill infidels...

I’m not gonna sit here and tell anyone we should start talking about Whiteyphobia because, if it were somehow accepted, that would just be another layer in the a many layered shit cake that is political correctness.

‘The Left likes to claim that we only call people of color terrorists. This would come as a surprise to the very white people in the Irish Republican Army, who were regularly referred to as terrorists by our politicians and mass media. ‘

It's difficult to recall the last large scale Irish Republican Army's terrorist attack on American soil.

Maybe Paddock is a Paddy and sympathizes with the IRA or Orange Order.

No one, unless they are a long term singular sleeper cell is this much of a blank slate.

many blacks were treated like crap all over the country so lets not say it is just the south , or the south did it worse. Also since you should know the natives were also treated like crap all over, and not just in places like where you live..
Not that I could care less since I am here today, and not back then. Whites to in history have been treated like crap all over, off blacks, Asians, hispanics, and other whites.

Point is that all races at one time have been treated like crap so why do we also have to focus on just how blacks were.
