Obviously you can't be racist towards those whom seem to wield most of institutional power.
Because racism is prejudice+power.

Yes they are. If for nothing else, then for the simple fact that there are far more extreme groups, on both the left and right, than there are Muslim groups.

But ultimately, terrorist attacks aren't really that big a threat anyway. What I'd be far more worried about, were I an America, is the One Percent buying Washington wholesale and the increasing power of the extreme right. If America is dealt a mortal blow in the near future, that's where it's going to come from.

White people don't come from Canada, only Eskimos come from Canada

white people are inherently destructive and need to be contained in specially built enclosures. Perhaps when California breaks off from the mainland it could be fenced and set aside for their incarceration.


Yeah, let's exile "white people" to some country where they can destroy themselves into oblivion. Or, more likely, they'll just create the most developed and democratic nation in the world.

Talk about destructive, but that's because we actually BUILD something to destroy. Other than White people, I think only "asians" and "middle-easterns" can come near on these terms. Black people are still equally or more destructive and they just build huts. Imagine if they built skyscrappers. :shock:

1) White Muslims are a thing.
2) Largest ethnic group in a country are also responsible for most crimes. News at eleven. I bet you'd also find that "white" people contribute the largest proportion to charity; does that mean "whites" are more charitable than other ethnic groups?

so this group cherrypicked a few incidents, made up a self-serving definition of what "terror" was, and ignored the most major terrorist attack on american soil in recent memory, all for the sake of being racists.

This should be obvious, given that white people are the majority in the US.
Not only does there not exist a duality of matter and spirit, but we have annulled the antithesis in the synthesis of the spirit. Only spirit exists. Nothing else exists - not you, not this hall, not the things and objects that pass in the fantastic cinematography of the universe. All that exists, exists only in so far as it is thought, and only when thought, not independently of my thought

White people are the largest group in the country. Of course they commit the most terror acts. This just in, most terror attacks in Mali are carried out by black people.

Its certainly true that some Muslims are white, and it was not my intention to imply otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if, over the last 15 years, the number of deaths due to terrorist violence, even including 9/11, were dwarfed by the number of deaths due to gang-related violence.

White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the US, killing more people in attacks than Muslims or any other group in the last 14 years, according to a study done by the New America Foundation.

The group looked into the 26 attacks on US soil that it defined as terror and found that 19 of those attacks were done by non-Muslims. All the studied attacks are post-9/11.


Since then, 48 people have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim, compared to 26 killed by people who claimed to be jihadist. The non-Muslim groups include right-wing, anti-government organizations and white-supremacist groups.

Last week’s Charleston shooting — after which reports surfaced of the confessed shooter’s white-supremacist ideology — was included in the count.

Other attacks, like the massacres in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut, were not included, since they do not appear to have been caused by a specific ideology, the standard used by New America Foundation to qualify terrorism.

This information may shock the public, as post-9/11 trauma has made jihadi terror attacks more prominent in the media, but US law enforcement is well aware of the danger of white extremist groups, the New York Times reported.

A recent survey done by researchers at the University of North Carolina and Duke University asked 382 US police departments to list top threats and 74 per cent listed anti-government violence, while just 39 per cent said “Al Qaeda-inspired” violence.

“Law enforcement agencies around the country have told us the threat from Muslim extremists is not as great as the threat from right-wing extremists,” Charles Kurzman, a UNC researcher, told the Times.

I see this as no big surprise. White terrorism has been a huge problem in the past from the KKK, to abortion clinics being bombs to School shootings. I see it as no big surprise. It is mainly because white people have a habit of supporting the status quo even it is in a violent manner. It is that reason why, the left needs to become militant as well. Back on subject, yes, I do believe people are the biggest terrorist threat in America, I know the sources are bad usually, RT and globalpost aren't that great but the independant is more reliable. The question is, do you think white people are biggest terror threat in US?


All the studies are post 911. Subjective.

Here is a map of hate groups in the USA, from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map

Their guideline for these selections is: "All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics." So, black, white, Latino and other groups are included, but those whose focus is more on anger about government than about ethnicity are not.

Here is the list of groups:

This does not directly pertain to terror, but it could help us understand how whites could be terrorists.

Typical NSG at it AGAIN!

OP starts a thread to prove that a faulty prejudice exists in the media and in the majority of the population's mindset regarding terrorism and race, so far everybody has completely missed the point and instead complained about racism towards white people!

Whoever claimed that NSG is majority leftist is wrong. There's a lot of people who might claim to be progressive right up until they're asked to step down from the top of the podium and join everybody else on the lower levels.

Yeah there is an obvious prejudice against Muslims in the media and the majority of people. According to the FBI the majority of terror attacks from 1980-2005 were done by Latinos at 40 something percent.
