Re: Statistics Show White Supremacy is a Bigger Threat to the U.S. Than Radical Musli
Well, I'll tell you what, Eco -- if I hop in my car right now, I could be to Umpqua Community College in about an hour. I might be able to round up a few friends and family members of the victims so you can tell them, yourself, how much they weren't impacted.
He's not perpetuating a social condition such as systemic privilege, so he may be a racial bigot (I haven't seen evidence beyond what could be random chance) but he has no power to oppress white people as a group so there's no effective ism.
I disagree. Blacks have no power to oppress whites as a group because whites are the power majority. Therefore, he cannot threaten us as a group nor impact us as a group. So, he's perhaps a racial bigot but has no social backing to take part in the social construct of racism.
Don't equate racial bigotry and racism; racism is a social construct while bigotry is an individual act alone.
