    So Don Lemon caused hypersensitive whites to clutch their pearls and fall onto their fainting couches recently when he took data compiled by the FBI and proclaimed that whites are the biggest terror threats in this country? What does he base this on? FBI statistics and other crime studies that ALL concluded that "over the past decade, there have been almost twice as many terrorist incidents carried out on U.S. soil by right-wing extremists — most of whom are white — than by Islamist extremists" --these studies went on to say from 2008 to 2016, there were 115 incidents involving right-wing extremists and that those that ended in death were more deadly than incidents that were carried out by other groups.

    Now Don Lemon committed the cardinal sin of not "qualifying" his remarks -- instead he said white men -- What he should have said was mentally ill men who happened to be so-called white, most certainly liberal and paid by George Soros -- that way you are not grouping all white men in the same category. Now, if you want to say that crime in Chicago proves that blacks are thugs and savages, that is fine because after all, the data says black men commit crimes in higher numbers -- so its not necessary to add qualifiers to that claim.


    If you wanted to say that most of the illegal immigrants coming across the border are rapists, murderers and drug dealers -- that is fine because Trump said it too and he must be right, so you don't have to add qualifiers to that claim. In fact, you can find many stories of illegal immigrants killing white citizens, so its obvious that most of these immigrants are diseased rapists and murderers -- this also helps to justify shooting them on sight if we are lucky enough to get the chance.

    Don't even get me started on the muslims -- in fact, the very act of being a muslim is in itself worthy of a crime -- that is why even appearing to be muslim is grounds for being attacked, even if you are actually Shikh -- as the Shikh temple shooting has taught us.

    However, if you EVER try to imply that simply because most of the terror attacks in this country for the ENTIRE HISTORY of this country were committed by people who claim they are white (we can't be sure until we have conclusive DNA proof) -- then that assertion in itself is racist -- to a person nurtured in the bubble of white privilege.

    I have noted that blacks appear to be more racist than whites. I guess it is payback.

    Next time a Democrat tells you there is no war on white men, remember threads like this and know they are lying to your face.

    The real issue is the use by the New Democratic Party, their acolytes, and the liberal mouthpieces at their MSM outlets, to twist this study into a tool for racist attack.

    There is a recent thread that discusses the use of this report to attack the "enemy".

    Problem is trump never said that, it's a serious and purposeful misquote. The thing that lemon said that was so agregious was "we have to stop demonizing people" and then he goes on to demonize a group of people. In this case white men. What a moron!

    Before I waste my time on that thread -- does it talk about the use of studies being twisted to attack black people as the enemy? Hispanics as the enemy? Muslims as the enemy? If not...its a waste of my time and nothing more than white folks being upset over **** they expect everyone else to be OK with.

    Per your title ... Lemon actually exposes his black privilege. Replace Don's pronoun, "white" with ANY othe race, religion, or gender option. Then let's discuss how appropriate the stereotype is.

    He said we have to stop demonizing people -- meaning, when you demonize muslims -- you folks don't say a word..

    When you demonize immigrants (legal or otherwise) -- you folks don't say a word

    When you demonize blacks -- you folks don't say a word...

    In fact, you folks cheer for it -- but the minute he says the same thing about whites...now you are outraged? gtfoh

    Remember when your cult leader retweeted this like it was a fact? Even tho it was totally made up numbers -- but done for the intended purpose of demonizing blacks as savages -- did you complain? NOPE

    Instead you folks played the "its just what the data says, you can't argue with the data"

    But when Don Lemon presents FACTUAL DATA -- you whine about it and cry racism?

    So until you folks own up to this being FAKE -- and RACIST -- until you folks can show me evidence that most of the terrorism acts in this country were not committed by WHITE men -- spare me your fake outrage

    I'm not arguing about data, and I'm not letting you off the hook. Is stereotyping OK? Has Don Lemon gotten away with it, and is his black privilege not the reason?

    Well, the OP in that thread provides excerpts taken directly from the study being used by racists to push their narrative, and identifies the groups omitted from the study that should likely be included if one wants to get an accurate picture of who the "terrorists" are in the US.

    But I guess if that doesn't fit your requirements, you can stick to the racist views you are attached to.

    Most blacks are killed by other blacks though. To act like this isn't the case is kind of sad since if white people et al. are supposed to fix these problems for them, that would basically require for white people to be in charge of them, which is what they seem to want to get away from.

    Right. He said:

    He said we have to stop demonizing people

    And then he demonized white men.

    Again ....if you have always claimed that "hey, its not racist, its just the data" -- to justify not only demonizing but crafting actual policies that target blacks, Hispanics, immigrants (brown ones only) and muslims with things such as "stop and frisk", "racial profiling", "muslim ban", "voter suppression", etc --- if you have not one single problem with any of that

    Don't cry to me about what a guy on CNN said about white domestic terrorists -- when no policies have ever been crafted to target you for something someone else belonging to your racial group did...that is the privilege I speak of...

    The other privilege I speak of is this conservative privilege -- to think they can shield themselves from any claims of being racist by saying "but how can he be racist, he has a Jewish son-in-law" -- "how can he be racist, he took a picture with a black rapper" --- but Don Lemon having a white boyfriend doesn't shield him from being called racist and no one has been able to point out what he said that is racist

    Then you have no idea what demonizing means..

    Can you tell me what he said that demonized you?

    Because I have still not seen one person denounce this racist tweet sent by your cult leader yet

    NOT off the hook. Lemon's spewing a racial stereotype. Lemon's getting away with it because of his black privilege.

    No my picture implies that people like YOU -- have no problems jumping to blanket generalizations when it comes to blacks, Hispanics and muslims --- but always be careful to not use those generalizations about whites....why? because it is much easier to demonize the demographic YOU don't belong to

    Then they are civilized people who don't feel a need to demonize any demographic -- whether we belong to it or not..

    Now what about this picture, what does it imply?

    Saying white men are the biggest threat isn't demonizing?
