[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]You're correct in that but I find it's a backlash to it almost always starts with a white comment. I'm sure some are just trolls stirring the pot, others have a server case of white guilt. Sometimes being a little pedantic is a good thing from separating segments of societies. If you notice in certain postings before this one, there is a definite lean towards all supremacists are white. I find they come in all colors, races, religions, cultures, castes and so on but by and far here, they are white.

On the separation part as a sample. The above is extremely proud that Obama did not state "radical Islamists". Fine with me then it was a group of Islamists that brought down the Twin Towers. Isis is composed of Islamists. Now with that, the propeller on top of their ball caps will start to spin and conjour up some sort of name for me, not provide any facts to dispute me and be satisfied. It's like arguing with a petulant child.

Do you not see the hypocrisy of your objections to labeling white supremacists "white supremacists" but support for calling radical islamists "radical Islamists"?

No, I don't actually. Are you are saying it would be better to just say Islamists are... or had.... or are you debating semantics, or perhaps just not thinking this through.[/quote]

I'm not really debating anything. I am wondering why you oppose calling one group by a descriptive label but support calling another group by a similarly descriptive label. It is a very strange and contradictory stance to take. I'm surprised that you don't see it as hypocritical as that seems obvious.

Where is it mentioned anywhere Black supremacists, Latin, Japanese, Iranian, India's or any other race, culture, what have you and dare I say, Islamic supremacists. I guess that for many it's just a bad gene in the white pool but by it's very beliefs, Islam is a supremacists delight and those on the fringe act out on it. So should we agree then that radical is out and Islamic supremacists in it then. I can do that.[/quote]

I am really struggling to figure out your objection. You don't want white supremacists to be called "white supremacists" because other groups are not labeled as "supremacists"? If you were an orange, would you object to being called an "orange" because apples are not called "oranges"? Islamic extremists are called "Islamic extremists" because they have extreme beliefs about Islam. That distinguishes them from non-extremist Muslims who are generally peaceful people who prize generosity and kindness. Similarly, there are individuals who believe that the white race and European culture are superior to others. Hence, they are called "white supremacists". Not every white person is a white supremacist, so calling people like the Mosque shooter a "white supremacist" is more accurate than simply calling him a "white terrorist" or a "Christian terrorist".
