    The murders committed by whites is a MUCH bigger problem than Islamic Terrorism and immigrants combines. Sounds like you're the one who's brainwashed

    Huh? I was responding to someone saying when’s the last time you saw a white person on the news for robbing someone.

    Use your head peeplz!

    I'm not sure anyone else has been brainwashed.

    Let's say that I buy your reasoning that the murder rate is way more important than terrorism. Do you think we should stop worrying about terrorism? Should the news stop covering terrorism?

    I haven't seen any candidates advocate abandoning the battle against terrorism. If your position isn't that we should stop worrying about terrorism, then it makes sense to actually talk about terrorism and who is committing the terrorism that threatens us.

    So you’re cool with black thug being stereotypically tossed around referencing innercity blacks? Good to know you are cool with racially demeaning people of all colors.

    Imagine that, racial profiling is accepted now. First time I’ve seen the left flip flop.

    I'm not sure what the flip-flop was. I said before that if you wanted to talk about the statistics of African-American crime that would be fine if it was addressed from the point of view of doing something constructive about it such as increasing education spending and job training programs. It would be okay if you wanted to address it when talking about ending the discrimination in the criminal justice system.

    That isn't what happened. However, I actually ignored all of that. I asked specifically about terrorism and what the suggestion was regarding terrorism.
    Should we stop the war against terrorism? Should we give up on combatting terrorism in the United States because it isn't as important? I actually ignored the shallow examination of statistics.

    So where is the flip-flop coming from? This is exactly what I've stated from the beginning in this thread.

    Implied but unspoken in Lemon's otherwise polemic comment is that white men are the largest demographic group in the country and those the most empowered and inclined to regulate policies combating terrorism; so shaping policies based on a particular demographic is counterintuitive and knowingly focusing on the wrong demographic indicates both a misguided strategy and possibly some separate ulterior objective.

    Is your proposal that we stop talking about domestic terrorism and abandon the battle against domestic terrorism? If you feel that it is insignificant what areas would you rather we allocate those resources?

    How is this even an argument?



    Being offended by this sentiment is very snowflakey.

    Bro yesterday you challenged a 2 day old post only to back down saying you dont remember the sequence of posts.

    Now you're jumping in the argument of me another poster and you are misunderstanding this also.

    Did I back down? LOL.

    I didn't realize that I had access to personal messages between you and another poster. I saw something posted in what I believed was the open forum and responded. I see you won't be answering.

    I think mass shootings and domestic terrorism have enough resources dedicated to them. I am not a person who believes there should not be restrictions on guns that beig said its not that big of a deal to me because mass shootings and domestic terrorism are still anomolies

    So when Trump moves thousands of troops to the border because he claims without evidence that there might be some terrorists in the caravan you are against that kind of effort against domestic terrorism?

    How much money and resources are dedicated to mass shootings and domestic terrorism? I suspect this is yet another topic you don't know anything about. The list is quite long.
