OT Active shooter reported at grocery store in Colorado: Boulder police

To be honest, I doubt it happens in our lifetimes, but hopefully steps continue to be made to get there.
It's not simply a matter of how many different people there are, though.
And people that have power generally don't want to concede power.

 

Things get better over time, but there's no specific line because there's no numeric value for total racism in society. We can still see plenty of signs of unequal society, both quantifiable (like proportions of minorities in various powerful or well-paying professions, wealth distribution, etc) and either non-quantifiable or less quantifiable (racist harassment towards game developers, athletes and really anyone who comes into the eye of the internet; disproportionate police brutality towards minorities, etc) so we know that darker skinned people still face a much more dangerous world in our society than white people do.

When it gets to the point where we're not sure if we're still seeing any significant discrimination based on race, then we're in a much better position to ask whether we need to worry about different standards when it comes to protections for non-white people.

 

Who are by far the most violent terrorists? White guys

 

What is a 'POC'?

 

You do whatever you want but that doesn't make it right.

 

Interesting.... are you forgetting about 9/11? Just under 3,000 people died? Planes crashing into buildings? What do you think is comparable to that? Or not just comparable but exceeds it?

Person of Color.

Ok.

 

I thought we were talking about America and terrorism. Are we expanding this out worldwide and all forms of mass killing? Genocide to me is a different motive than terror.

 

GODDAM CRACKAZ

 

I guess if you want we can debate what is and what is not terrorism. To me, genocide is setting out to wipe out a group of people from the earth. I don't think terror is really that big of a goal to that end. Hitler wanted to wipe Jews completely out. So to me, that wouldn't qualify as terrorism. It's a completely different motive.

Slavery is driven by money and commerce.

But I don't know... the FBI has a pretty loose definition of terrorism so I guess it's all subjective.

Terrorism Definitions
International terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).

Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

 

I'm not forgetting 9-11, also done by white guys.
If you doubt me, ask the FBI. That's where I got my info. Do you know more than the FBI about terrorism?
