5. "American Hate Radio and TV and Republicans Charged as Co-conspirators" is my headline.

That the mass media is even asking "is this terrorism?" or "is this a hate crime?" takes white privilege to a whole another level, the level of Fox.


Put patches from Afghanistan and a crescent moon on a brown man with Nazi car license plates who explicitly provided his motivation from his own mouth and writings and then who just killed 9 people for these explicitly communicated political reasons....what would be the question?

Americans are facing terrorism ever day, and none of it is from across an ocean or at any border.

The mother of terrorism in America are Republicans pandering to extremist religious kooks and their extremist hate media, in a party in a rural state with .97% of the national population which somehow holds sway over one of two slots for President....that has to end also.

I say to you, respectfully, Christians of America, on behalf of Sikhs and Muslims slaughtered by hate and living in fear of the extremists in America, if this is about a "war on Christianity"....how does it feel?
