Popular Post Social Media Posted May 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2023 Conservative Twitter users ripped President Joe Biden for claiming that White supremacy is the "most dangerous terrorist threat" in America during a commencement address at Howard University this weekend. Critics accused Biden of using the opportunity to inflame racial tension in the United States. The 46th president addressed the graduates from the historical Black college at Washington D.C.’s Capital One Arena Saturday, speaking to them about the threats they face from the division among their own country. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted May 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2023 Extremism in the United States Despite fears that extremism is on the rise in the United States, right-wing extremism is far more prevalent than jihadi terrorism. From 2011 to 2020, 20 percent of extremist-related killings were caused by someone affiliated with Islamist extremism, and three quarters of extremist-related killings were carried out by someone affiliated with right-wing extremism. Overall, there have been relatively few terrorist attacks in the U.S. since 1970. https://www.statista.com/statistics/667929/terrorists-in-the-us-since-911-year-and-gender/ 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s your bigotry right there in plain sight, in your own words. Islamist terrorism is committed by a tiny number of Islamist terrorist, it is not committed by the broader Muslim population. Just all white folk are not to blame for the threat of terrorism coming from a hate filled minority of white supremacists. 6 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
