When black people marched on streets, we see police with riot gears.
When white people marched on streets, we see police standing by. And the Nazis marched with torches, sticks and assault rifles in their hands.
So a white Nazi killed a woman, and the nation from the president down is fretting over whether to call that terrorism. They can’t bring themselves to say bad things about the Nazis without also mentioning “well there are bad people on the other side too.”
This goes to show that there is still a long way to go to get black people to the same footing as white people in this country, due to centuries of discrimination and preferred treatment.
Come on, let’s face it. America was inherently a country built by white people with systems and laws specially set in place to protect their own interests. We should be glad that it has evolved into this kind of openness and racial integration to this date. But keep in mind that it hasn’t always been the case and the cosmopolitanism is really a very recent phenomenon.
Everyone should be equal, no matter what. If 2 people commit the same crime, we apply the same law and give the same penalty. No one should be treated differently. White or black or Asian or Hispanic, men or women or others, everyone should be held to the same standard.
The country has evolved to the point that equality is the baseline for law enforcement.
We should have an equal society for everyone. Equal opportunity to get equal punishment. Equal opportunity to get anything good or bad.
Politics is ugly. Let’s reduce the number of politicians and reduce the amount of time wasted on politics. Let’s get everyone to productive work, not useless and harmful politics. A world without politics would be your dream come true.
No division of people by race, gender and other attributes. We are all humans.
The death was caused by politics. Politics killed people. We only need a minimum number of administrators and law enforcement. Other useless politicians should all go home to mop the floor as a more productive use of their time

Treating all humans as equal is a very old concept but have never really implemented well because is impossible.
Kids, adults… at different stage of maturity and different views of right and wrong.
Different economic, education and culture background means different yardsticks for right and wrong.
Can we all agree to no religion? All based on science?
We can’t even agree on a single currency, single weight/ height system, single language, single economic system, single legal system, single tax system
The best we can do is equal opportunity based on merit which has to be judged by biased humans (may be next time use AI
Exactly. The media love to paint some groups of people with a broad brush based on the actions of a few. Then other groups they tell us we shouldn’t judge the whole group by the actions of a few.
Muslim terrorist - don’t judge all Muslims
Black criminal - don’t judge all black people
Cop kills someone - cops are evil and police are violent
Gun crime - gun owners are irresponsible and we should take away their guns
White supremacist drives car into crowd - white supremacists are violent
It’s completely BS that the media uses acts of individuals to paint an entire group in a negative light while they say to do the exact opposite for other groups. If white supremacists really were violent, then there’d have been a violent storm in Charlottesville. Instead, there was far less violence than at a BLM protest. They weren’t looting business, flipping police cars, etc. Yet, you’ll see tons of coverage about how BLM are peaceful protests. It was less violent than the Berkeley people protesting Milo. It was less violent than people attacking Trump supporters after the San Jose rally.
Um… not really. Will need administrators and strict enforcement of the law. A country without rule of law would be completely chaotic. Example: Somalia. Nobody wants to live in Somalia. In fact, it would be down right scary to live there because of the anarchy and the lack of law enforcement.
Do you want to count the Dallas cops who were shot? What about all the property damage at their protests? They set fire to 25 businesses in Ferguson. That was just one protest.
What does the modern day white supremacists want? Do they want slavery back? Do they just want everyone believe white men are better than everyone else?
White supremacy is a political movement. What do they want now?
And how many people support them? how many sympathize them? How many are hard core members?
No. I do not really know what it is. The only thing I know is that it’s really bad stuff. Anyone knows what exactly it is? Is it a taboo to talk about it?
Americans are the proudest people on the planet. One of the America’s national goals is to spread democracy and replace some of the foreign governments with democracy. This is not a feeling or thought, it’s the official national policy. Is this similar to racism at the level of countries? Is it a veiled white supremacy?
Many Americans despise China since it’s not democratic and call it an evil regime
This was the point I was wondering.
In your mind, it seems that Muslim_terrorist:Muslim=Violent_White_supremacist:White_supremacist.
General Muslims don’t believe they are superior than other race.
General White supremacist believe they are superior than other race by definition.
As a non-white person, I feel threatened by white supremacists because they fundamentally believe they are superior than me by race. Especially, I feel threatened by seeing them promoting the idea of white supremacy.
As a non-Muslim person, I don’t feel threatened by Muslims because they don’t believe they are superior than me by race.
What comes through clearly by examining this subject is that Islam is not about universal brotherhood, as is often claimed, but about the brotherhood of believers, members of the umma.[10] The flip-side of this is a total denunciation of the “other.”[11] There are more than four hundred verses in the Qur’an alone that describe the torment in hell that Allah has prepared for the infidel. The Qur’an dehumanizes infidels: They are vile animals and beasts, the worst of creatures and demons;[12] perverted transgressors and partners of Satan[13] to be fought until religion is Allah’s alone.[14] They are to be beheaded;[15] terrorized,[16] annihilated,[17] crucified,[18] punished, and expelled,[19] and plotted against by deceit.[20] Believers must be in a constant state of war with the infidel.[21]
Muslim should be compared with Christians. Both are religions with a huge following.
White supremacists should be compared with ISIS or other bad groups with a small population and do really bad stuff.
This supremacy angers everyone. Everyone is equal, no more no less. Period.
I honestly know very little about white supremacy and it seems a taboo to talk about it. I searched and seems they are not extremely violent as far as Google tells. But there are really bad stuff other than violence, such as slavery.
Muslim terrorists are a result of white country policy. US, Europe, Canada and Australia have worked together as white Christian majority to topple Muslim countries to spread democracy. The democracy spreading effort has angered hard core Muslims and terrorists are a revenge. I have not heard Muslim terror acts in Japan and Korea yet. Of course there are almost no Muslims in Japan and Korea
“criticism of his former employer was somewhat muted. “I support Google…I don’t support anyone who wants to hurt Google,” Damore told CNBC, adding that he doesn’t support anyone calling for marches on the company.”
Russians have been anti semitic for centuries. …After the revolution they used mass killings frequently.
In the last 40 years the Soviets forced hundreds of thousands of Jews to immigrate to Isreal…Many ended up in the US…White guilt in the US, makes Americans look bad…But many countries have a much more heinous past…
The beginning of the 20th century brought with it a series of pogroms that led to the murder of hundreds of thousands of Jews. A large number of the pogroms were carried out by the Ukrainian nationalist military and migrant industrial workers. Between 1918 and 1919, there were over 1,200 pogroms in Ukraine which stemmed from the belief that Jews were disloyal to the Tsar and were supporters of the Bolsheviks.[2] There were rumors that Alexander III gave people the right to attack Jews because of the assassination of Alexander II. By the time the pogroms ended, 30,000 Jew were killed, 500,000 Jews were left homeless, and a total of 150,000 died due to diseases and wounds.[13]
