[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh...I got another $5 says upon capture he'll be called all kinds of crazies and psychos and mentally disturbed adjectives but you won't hear any mention of the word thug or criminal or any other inherently violent adjective to describe him [b]nor will he be paraded throughout the media as typifying the entire white race - he'll be regarded as an anomaly.  [/quote][/b]

Why should he be?  The entire white race does not go around shooting up churches-this guy is an anomaaly-a crazy, gun toting, sociopathic anomaly![/quote]

Not saying he should merely making note of the contrast between the media's perception/depiction of a white guy who kills someone (sociopathic anomaly) and a non-white person who kills someone (typical black thug or common Hispanic gang-banger).  When non-whites commit atrocities it's a reflection on ALL of them whereas when whites that commit atrocities its not portrayed as such.[/quote]

And if the perp here were Muslim, you just KNOW he'd be immediately typecast as a "terrorist" and not a lone mentally ill guy. There is an absolute double standard when it comes to white violent criminals, and others. [/quote]

Bingo[/quote]

It would depend on how the act was committed. Did the Muslim scream Allahu Akbar prior? Was he known to others as radicalized? I'm a conservative and I do believe this Charleston shooting was a hate crime and that the kid was identifying with a group like the Klan. A lot of radicalized Muslims are also 'lone wolves' especially ones in this country. They are influenced by terrorist organizations but might not have a hard link, i.e. are a formal member of ISIS.  ISIS is, in fact, calling for 'lone wolves' in the States.[/quote]

The Klan is a terrorist organization, so if you think he was inspired by them, this is also an act of terrorism.  [/quote]

Absolutely. [/quote]
