1. White terrorists are called
“gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn’t that be,
like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.”
2. White terrorists are “troubled
loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot,
even when they are obviously troubled loners.
3. Doing a study on the danger of
white terrorists at the Department of Homeland Security will get you sidelined
by angry white Congressmen. Doing studies on other kinds of terrorists is a
guaranteed promotion.
4. The family of a white terrorist
is interviewed, weeping as they wonder where he went wrong. The families of
other terrorists are almost never interviewed.
5. White terrorists are part of a
“fringe.” Other terrorists are apparently mainstream.
6. White terrorists are random
events, like tornadoes. Other terrorists are long-running conspiracies.
7. White terrorists are never
called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations.
8. Nobody thinks white terrorists
are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of
their societies.
9. White terrorists are alcoholics,
addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and
perfectly sane.
10. There is nothing you can do about
white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no
government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of
billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense,
and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal
with other terrorists.
