    Other then that pet peeve of mine I agree with connal.
    Neither does any fast track labeling. White, Brown, etc. wipes away so many distinctions. But that's the system we want to use.

    Funny how this goes right out the window when it comes to Islamic terror, rape gangs, etc. When we talk about that it's just everyone being racist.

    But when a white man, that is usually a right wing terrorist commits a crime no one wants to talk about it, they are never labeled a terrorist and often dismissed as being mentally ill.

    The racist on these boards always love to bring up statistics about black people committing crimes but they NEVER want to talk about deranged white men committing mass shootings in movies, schools, churches, and super markets. if you’re truly concerned about crime mention all crime.

    Stop being bias and only mentioning crime statistics when it’s a person of color.
    It's kind of ridiculous when you say this in a thread where the mainest of mainstream media is totally cool saying the biggest threat to the US is white guys.

    There is this joke, its been around for decades. It goes something like this....Q: "How do you know a politician is lying?" A:"When you see their lips move."

    Politicians are known to lie so much that its become a punch line. Politicians have been caught swindling campaign funds, been caught in kickback schemes, pay to play etc.. It isnt deplorable to point it out.
    Kara Swisher: What do you think about Cory Booker saying kick them in the shins?
    Hillary Clinton: Well, that was Eric Holder.
    Kara Swisher: Eric Holder, oh, Eric Holder, sorry.
    Hillary Clinton: Yeah, I know they all look alike.

    When it comes to news coming out of America I tend to only see African American really used can’t remeber the last time I saw any thing related to a Mexican and they just called him brown. But Mabye it’s just because I don’t take in a lot of news that I miss it. Other wise I agree the fast track labels are bad.

    He's not literally calling for a ban on white people. He's pointing out how absurd the Muslim ban is.

    We’re talking about crime, stop deflecting.

    White men are allowed to run into churches, concerts, schools, and supermarkets and kill a large amount of innocent people and they are never labeled a terrorist. That double standard needs to change. In every race related thread on mmo you have people linking statistics of the “black menace” committing crimes in America, but no one wants to talk about brad, Chester , and billy committing mass shootings like lunatics?

    Oh I forgot, crime is only talked about to demonize people of color and to justify racism against them .

    How are white men being persecuted? I don't think any thinking person believes the Democrats are against white men.

    But it is deplorable to tout the Trumpkin line "both sides" - because that is a blatant lie. Trump is a terrorist by almost every definition of the word. And NO ONE has come even remotely close to doing what he has done. Literally every breath he takes is a lie, he is an unidicted co-conspirator, he personally makes millions of dollars from taking vacations. He lies, spews racist propaganda and hate, and attempts to divide this country with the horror that he embodies.

    And saying "both sides" is just one more tool in his reprehensible belt he uses to continue to divide this country, while he plunders our moral capital.

    It is very educational... though still somewhat contrived("reality" tv show...) it gives you a good enough picture into what brings people into prison/jail.
    I used to watch a ton of jail/law related things but like I do with any thing I get interested in I watched every thing I could find until I couldn’t find any thing I hadn’t seen. That was some years ago though I should get back into it I know there are a lot of new shows surly there has to be more documentary’s and things as well.

    I don't watch much news either. I think it might be Hispanic or Latino.

    One isolated incident where a news anchor sheds light on terrorism commited by white men.

    The media constantly demonizes black people as being criminals, but it finally happens to white men and these forums can’t take it? Lol

    More like you say something stupid, get called out on it and then start backpeddling. Show me these instances of the mainstream media "demonizing black people as being criminals" since it apparently happens constantly.

    So you don't recognize a correlation between being a member of a violent criminal organization and being incarcerated?

    I see nothing wrong with being aware of radicalization no matter where it comes from. Trying to avoid it happening and catching it before it gets to "lets kill jews" level seems reasonable.

    Nah. Shedding light would have been trying to get background on why some go with terrorism. This is just him letting his hilarious opinions show.

    Because Terrorist had a political meaning. It had a political motive. There is nothing to stop the media from calling these guys domestic terrorists. The fact that they dont is not some right wing or left wing agenda. Call up CNN, call up Fox News, call up MSNBC, New York Times, The Washington Post and find out why they dont use those terms? Dont fucking cry here about how its some right wing agenda.

    For one, there are plenty of “black menace” committing crimes in America daily. So many that many go unnamed or covered. BTW, there are plenty of “white menace” committing crimes in America daily as well. Their victims tend to be only Todd and Marie so they go unnoticed as well. Brad, Chester , and billy committing mass shootings are talked about endlessly EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS. There is a 2500+ page thread about gun control that lights up with all kinds of activity every time Brad, Chester , and Billy commits a mass shooting.

    Nobody is demonizing anyone, unless it is to demonize people who have committed these awful crimes.

    Hillary Clinton: Well, that was Eric Holder.
    Kara Swisher: Eric Holder, oh, Eric Holder, sorry.
