    You don't seem to understand what racism is. Maybe you should have listened a bit more at your church's sunday school?
    Right, I don't understand racism because I am white, right?

    I’d say most of us understand what racism is but most of us don’t know what it feels to be on the receiving end of racism !

    Why did you turn "should have listened more" to "because I am white"??

    SC didn't say it was due to your race. You did.

    Ahhhhhh, the demonization of the white male.... not the best poltical strategy in my opinion

    I have a white penis... BOO! lol

    Blacks committ more murders per year than whites, even though they only represent 13% of the population... but nobody on the left ever wants to talk about that, doesnt fit their political agenda i guess... wonder why Don doesnt want to talk about that? I guess we are only allowed to talk about bad things white people do, specifically white males

    Carry on, good luck Unsung lol

    I know they are responsible for the majority of events... but i need to look at the information a little closer at the stats... whites represent a majority of the country, so they should theoretically lead in just about everything... 

    The question i have is are they overrepresented, underrepresented, or about average when it comes to attacks per capita, or % wise...

    Hmmm... Would you consider Gang violence to be terror?  I bet the neighborhoods they are shooting up do.  But I'll have to look at the definition of "terror" and then find out how many gang incidents are due to which race.  Cause, I'd consider gangs to be the #1 terror threat inside america.

    Because, within a few days, a white man killed two black people BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACK

    Because a white man tried to kill twelve prominent democrats BECAUSE THEY WERE DEMOCRATS

    Because a white man killed eleven Jews BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS.

    Holy crap, how is it not completely obvious that targeted murder based on a victims demographics or beliefs is completely different from crime even to people on a liberal bands forum isn't obvious? Next Tues America may be totally screwed.

    500 people are killed in Chicago a year.  It isn’t the white man terrorizing those streets.

    I’d say the biggest terror threat to the US is the people that pull the strings of Congress, people that have us fight unneeded war.  People responsible for the destruction of the dollar.  That is more of a threat to your freedom than some fringe wacko.

    No, I wouldn’t consider gang violence to be terrorism, nor would police. They are quite different beasts with different goals. Just because someone  feels fear when they witness or are the victum of a crime doesn’t make it terrorism; if so, any violent crime would be considered terrorism. 

    This article looks at a study comparing domestic terrorists and gangs and does not find many commonalities.

    Also, the article I posted above says that 80% of domestic terrorists are white. That’s above the percentage of white people in the US (by how much, depends on who you include as white; some definitions include Hispanic people as white, others do not).

    Yeah but he said biggest terror threat not terrorism.  Words matter.

    For me I think it's clear that on an everyday basis gangs cause more deaths and terror.  But white males make up the VAST majority of domestic terrorists.

    So does context, and you know exactly what he was referring to.
  • Don Lemon is a racist.

    Disclaimer: That is not saying others are not racist. I am just trying to state the simplest fact related to THIS thread.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Ok, perhaps.

    Back to Lemon, answer me this... and I happen to like Don Lemon...but why is he bringing up a travel ban to combat domestic terrorism?  Cause this makes no sense to me expect to try and compare things that don't fit to be compared.

    Exactly, pretty simple mathematics...It’s like saying that city dwellers are more violent because metropolitan areas experience more violence.  Correlation does not always = causation, anyone that took a stats course should have had that drilled into their brains.
