1. Some people have been in denial of white terror going back to the KKK and white supremacist groups

and militias and lots of other organized groups with political agendas by people desperately trying to claim they don't have a political agenda and can't be labeled terrorists. Someone will always claim that mass murder was a completely random act that definitely wasn't motivated by anything political at all while Trumpsters will claim the person was leftist antifa.

No matter how politically motivated these "mentally challenged lone wolves" are, the people denying the very existence of white terror should be asked to state the political agenda of the muslim terrorists who have committed similar acts. If they can't answer it, then it's a brown and white issue. Whites get every benefit of a doubt while browns are instantly labeled terrorists.

It's almost as if whites are worried about getting discrimination like the completely random security checks at airports or stop and frisk by police or have your loyalty to this country repeatedly challenged when applying for security clearance jobs. Wouldn't want that to happen.

For Muslims they say too many bad apples means there's something wrong with the orchard. For white males, too many lone wolves means we all must continue to pretend there's no pattern, no agenda, and no problem with the culture or gun laws or hostile political environment.
