Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American

So I'm the only one who knows both people?

I'd feel pretty superior about it if it hadn't been so damn easy.

ultimate pwnage

meh, nothing to be proud about really.

sadly same way he doesn't realize the effect of media propaganda on his poor trains of thought, he most likely doesn't realize and never will that he's just been undressed, digested and ted out on the same thread

White privilege is knowing that even if the Boston Marathon bomber turns out to be white, his or her iden y will not result in white folks generally being singled out for su ion by law enforcement, or the TSA, or the FBI.
White privilege is knowing that even if the bomber turns out to be white, no one will call for whites to be profiled as terrorists as a result, subjected to special screening, or threatened with deportation.

White privilege is knowing that if the bomber turns out to be white, he or she will be viewed as an exception to an otherwise non-white rule, an aberration, an anomaly, and that he or she will be able to join the ranks of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski and Eric Rudolph and Joe Stack and George Metesky and Byron De La Beckwith and Bobby Frank Cherry and Thomas Blanton and Herman Frank Cash and Robert Chambliss and James von Brunn and Robert Mathews and David_Lane and Michael F. Griffin and Paul Hill and John Salvi and James Kopp and Luke Helder and James David Adkisson and Scott Roeder and S ey Shannon and Wade Michael Page and Byron Williams and Kevin Harpham and William Krar and Judith Bruey and Edward Feltus and Raymond Kirk Dillard and Adam Lynn Cunningham and Bonnell Hughes and Randall Garrett Cole and James Ray McElroy and Michael Gorbey and Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman and Frederick Thomas and Paul Ross Evans and Matt Goldsby and Jimmy Simmons and Kathy Simmons and Kaye Wiggins and Patricia Hughes and Jeremy Dunahoe and David McMenemy and Bobby Joe Rogers and Francis Grady and Demetrius Van Crocker and Floyd Raymond Looker, among the pantheon of white people who engage in politically motivated violence meant to terrorize and kill, but whose actions result in the assumption of absolutely nothing about white people generally, or white Christians in particular.

And white privilege is being able to know nothing about the crimes committed by most of the terrorists listed above — indeed, never to have so much as heard most of their names — let alone to make assumptions about the role that their racial or ethnic iden y may have played in their crimes.

White privilege is knowing that if the Boston bomber turns out to be white, we will not be asked to denounce him or her, so as to prove our own loyalties to the common national good. It is knowing that the next time a cop sees one of us standing on the sidewalk cheering on runners in a marathon, that cop will say exactly nothing to us as a result.

Let's hope this time the perp gets a trial and not murdered in cold blood like Bin Laden was. That's convenient and I have a MIL I'd like to be able to do likewise, but, it's not kosher. But, it's Hussein Obama so you know, it's okay.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read

Hmmm.

Summarize the main idea of the article in a few sentences of your own.

I don't think you understand the thrust of the piece.

[RandomGuy]

I disagree that our response to 9/11 was because the perps were non-white and Muslim. I think it has more to do with precedent, the scale of the attack, and the large size of the organization.

In constrast, the attacks by groups like ELF are usally small in scale and they have a small membership.


Do you these FBI's most wanted terrorists are on this list because of the color of their skin?

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_ter...-group-listing

For the most part yes.

Problem though is that inter-racial events tend to cause people to freak out more, especially if the victim is white and the attackers black or hispanic, or said to be.

e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Central_Park_Five

[RandomGuy]

disagree.

I posted why I believe it was more than 1 person, by using common sense. You are free to disagree thou.

WOW...

All rolled up into one bit. A trifecta of bad reasoning.

Well played sir!

The bombs were clearly intended to target whites. By the time the bombs went off all the blacks had already finished,

As if the article didn't stand on it's own vapidity.


“White privilege is knowing that even if the bomber turns out to be white, no one will call for your group to be profiled as terrorists as a result, subjected to special screening or threatened with deportation,” writes author Tim Wise. “White privilege is knowing that if this bomber turns out to be white, the United States government will not bomb whatever corn field or mountain town or stale suburb from which said bomber came, just to ensure that others like him or her don’t get any ideas. And if he turns out to be a member of the Irish Republican Army we won’t bomb Dublin. And if he’s an Italian-American Catholic we won’t bomb the Vatican.”

I'm actually dumber for having read that tripe.

[RandomGuy]

I mean , I had to look up the names. It's not a source of shame. You could have spent this time googling instead of stonewalling.

I found them. Started with the URL of the jpeg, but found the kid in the picture and the "apparent" intended target. Took me about 3 or 4 minutes.

That would sound a lot less hollow if you actually could type up a name to go with the picture. That you can't, even though it is in the URL of the picture itself is hilarious in it's stupidity.

Agreed Culb.

I'll admit, I snickered.

Murdoch's paper NY Post incriminates a brownie

NY Post Publishes Front-Page Photo Falsely Linking High School Track Athlete to Boston Bombing

The New York Post published a front-page photo of a high school track athlete named Salah Barhoun, 17, sprayed with the headline “Bag Men,” linking two almost assuredly innocent people to the Boston marathon bombing. Seeing his face all over social media, Barhoun immediately went to the police.

Members of the Reddit Internet community originally identified the men in the photo as potential suspects, but quickly found one of their Facebook profiles, which seem to exonerate the two. As Gawker reported, Barhoun, wearing a blue tracksuit in the Post’s cover photo, turns out to be a Moroccan-American middle-distance runner who likes Subway restaurants and The Hunger Games. At one point, he was planning to run in the marathon, but when he couldn't, went to watch instead.

Realizing that he was now being labeled a terrorist, Barhoun changed his Facebook name and posted some clarification his page.

Going to the court rightnow !! is real . But u will see guys I’m did not do any thing
…
Back home ! Everything is fake but god is with me . (sic)

Even without Reddit’s amateur investigations, the men in the photo would still most likely have been cleared. CBS’ John Miller noted today that the Post’s cover photo is not the same one he’s seen and that authorities plan to release later today.

the fact that the very people who act like they know the most about drone strikes actively resist educating themselves about drone strikes tells me everything I need to know about them

Stick it up your ass. It's silly to think that with the youngest of the boomers, at 49, they are all finishing the race first. It is less silly to think boomers are better than Gen X.

[Spurminator]

I hope the NY Post gets its pants sued off.

Eh, the boomers squandered this nation's wealth cultivated the culture of en lement for generations to come.

Good job.

And yeah, WTF is up with the NY Post doubling down on horrible journalism? It's like Wild Cobra is the editor in chief this week.

concluding that refusing to answer a question = ignorance

with those powers of deduction, you should be a journalist for CNN

I only play question games when I feel like it. Not that I expect you to understand the intricacies of making decisions on your own. God knows the mainstream media has spoonfed your decision making throughout most of your life.
