Where Is The Condemnation? Or Does This Lack Of Condemnation Suggest Tacit Approval?

[sp1814]

When an Islamist extremist commits an act of terrorism, some claim that a lack of condemnation from ordinary Muslims is tantamount to tacit approval.

When a white extremist carries out a bloodthirsty racist attack - should we expect the same condemnation from white people?

...1814, and nothing short of self-flagellation will satisfy you.

TTT

Why am I trying to start a TROP discussion.

I find hypocrisy fascinating.

Within an hour of a terror incident you yourself will post a ‘Let’s do the usual dance’ thread:

Which suggests an appetite to discuss terror attacks only if the perpetrator has brown skin.

Thanks douglas9401

The only good flagellation is self-flagellaion.

(It’s a control thing)

Had a quick look at some of previous posts and I’m going to say I disagree with you - but I’d be interested to hear your thoughts and why you disagree with me.

sp: //What you’re referring to is what id call a racial purist.//
No, I'm talking about cultural identity.

[sp1814]

Haha…okay ynnafymmi.

Incidentally for future reference I suggest you avoid using the term ‘reverse racost’. It assumes that natural racism is inherently white, and I’m sure you don’t mean that

sp: "Within an hour of a terror incident you yourself will post a ‘Let’s do the usual dance’ thread: " - yes but I'm not lobbing accusations about because they did say the right thing quickly enough.

Cultural identity is definitely important but it’s tricky to switch to that topic without referring to the cultural impact of European settlers in so many parts of the world.

And that’s a whole different subject - one perhaps that deserves its own thread?

[sp1814]

Not lobbing accusations. Merely pointing out hypocrisy.

If Muslims can be accused of tacit approval then so can white people.

But it’s the *opposite* of my point. You, naomi24, *no-one* should be accused of giving tacit approval to white supremacist terrorists and no Muslim should be accused of the same (for Islamic terrorism).

Otherwise, it’s hypocrisy

[ynnafymmi]

"reverse racost"?I never used the term.I used the term"reverse racist",meaning non-white people who hate white people.

[THECORBYLOON]

"I used the term"reverse racist",meaning non-white people who hate white people."

Why would a non-white person who hates white folk not be called a racist as opposed to a "reverse racist"?

sp1814, yes, you'll routinely see threads expressing disdain for America's lax gun laws (which I share), so the answer to "why do they have mass shootings?" is "because they can". But add in religion and it's "because they're religious".

[naomi24]

Give it up, people. You can't argue with an irrational bigot. He'll close the thread when it doesn't go his way.

[choux]

Sooner rather than later I hope ;)

No - I 100% do not hate white people. I hate hypocrites and there no racial divide there.

But it’s good to see you back in the thread. Do you want to share you thoughts on the original question, or are you off again?

[ynnafymmi]

@12.50."racism","reverse racism",it is still racism whatever way you look at it.Looks like sp1814 has has just unknowingly revealed his own racism.But as Naomi has just said he will probably pull the thread before he makes a bigger fool of himself.

That’s a title harsh. I thought the point of the News section (unlike other areas of the site) was to be able to posit a question and the argue for/against it.

It would be a bit dull if all we had was people agreeing with each other.

Do you want a bigger shovel,sp?
