As opposed to BLM characters that burned cities before. 

I missed that! What American cities are no longer then? Was it like Dresden or Tokyo in WW2? How many citizens were burned to death in these BLM-scorched cities? I'm really surprised none of this destruction has made international headlines ????????

Killing? Please elaborate.

We're one Timothy McVeigh short of a major incident I fear.

Cannot remember reading about even one significant Muslim extremist event in the USA in the last decade or so... Certainly not a current issue in the USA. Whereas white supremacists seem to be popping off all over the country.

What's your point? That's why I said a decade or so. 2013 is a decade or so ????

To put the OP in perspective refer below. There are numerous other articles based upon Federal government assessments over the past five years or so.

I am not looking for perspective. The bombing was just noted as its 10 year anniversary a few weeks ago.

Which has zero relevance to the OP based upon current threat levels, which is why I posted an example of current threats which Biden is referencing.

Are whites some kind of culturally significant "group" that deserves recognition for nothing other than being white?

Whites are just as significant as any other group, such as blacks, or any other group you could think of.

 

No?

No?

No. I don't accept the premise of this "group" concept. I'm white but I don't feel that I identify with whites as a group in even the broadest sense. I'm not even sure how white I am. Pretty sure nobody else is either.

We actually agree, for once. ????

 

I think these "groups" shouldn't exist either. 

 

But that's not the world we live in; we have so-called races, ethnicities, genders, and orientations etc. etc.

 

Humans categorize things. It's just the way it is.

Since we have BLM, why not WLM?

A Venn diagram would be less than 100% overlap.

So really only Brazilians and Spaniards outside the overlap?

Actually it was a speech to the 2023 graduating class at Howard University, the same University that Kamala Harris attended.

 

Its a pity Fox cut and edited the video, because it was a great speech for those that read it all rather then take such a small snippet for their audience to jump on.

I won't bother cherry picking quotes from it..............

[LaosLover]

I come from the Trumpiest part of Appalachia. Confederate flags waft in the breeze, but I fear not.

 

1) They're old

2) Fat

3) Stupid

4) Easily distracted

5) Cowards

6) Infiltrated up the wazoo by the FBI

7) Prone to turning on each other at the drop of a hat.

 

One good thing about the Capitol riot was that it flushed the craziest rats out in the open. And not that many or all that fearsome rats, huh?

 

Who wants to be an OathKeeper today? 80% of the chapters have closed.

 

Good news: cammo never goes out of style. Nor do fat guys pretending they were in the military.
