It’s why it’s unacceptable for whites to use the n word. Context.

White Men are a danger to society as shown with the mass killings.
As far as travel bans, I don't think white people are hijacking planes? Have they started to do that now too?
Cause it seems the biggest risk to US is the White far right male...but they are already here. No traveling. Meanwhile the biggest risk of foreign attack based on what we have seen is muslim male traveling to US and staying for a while. White male = domestic. Muslim male = non-domestic. You can be concerned about both...no?
The arguments against generalizing a group (let say for Muslims) was that you can't generalize a large population for a small percentage of wrongdoers in that group. Would not the same arguments that were used before apply in this case as well with white people?

edit: and when I say "for a black man who should know better", before anyone jumps down my gullet, I mean he's probably been on the receiving end of those same types of generalizations, so it's in that context I mean he should know better. both as a professional journalist and also from personal experience.

the problem here is how it was worded. He doesn't quantify it as "SOME" white men, he just says "white men", and then saying "most of them....". that can easily be manipulated by fox news and the like as demonizing the entire group of white men in america to rile up their supporters.
it's just really irresponsible editorializing.

Was this a dump n run or did you actually was the article where it's pointed out, statistically...
from the Nation Institute’s Investigative Fund and the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Reveal, there were nearly twice as many terrorist incidents by right-wing extremists (the majority of whom are white) as by Islamic extremists in the U.S. from 2008 to 2018.

One side gets to reap whatever lies and BS it wants, the other cites statistically supported fact and that side are the bad guys. He said threat. He was referring to which demographic group is most responsible. It was clear and supported by facts
