Since blaming everything on the White man is the "in" thing to do, I thought I would start a thread about it.

Considering a white supremacist guy killed 49 people in NZ today, maybe it's time to start.

A white man invented the telephone, and now the **** thing keeps ringing all the time and interrupting me while I'm trying to work!

AUGH, white men are awful!

How about we just hate white supremacists who kill people.

That's like hating all Muslims because of ISIS, which leads to things like the NZ guy killing a bunch of randoms Muslims.

I'd rather hate the governments that initiated a chain of events that have led to the state of affairs consuming us today. I'd start with Dwight D. Eisenhower's and Winston Churchill's administrations in 1953.

Why start there?  Why not start with Hitler, whose genocide necessitated a Jewish exodus from Europe and creation of Israel and inflamed the situation in the middle east?  Or start with the fall of the Ottoman Empire?  Or before that?

How about we hate people who kill other people for dumb reasons?  How about stop hating and raging, and just vehemently disagree with things from now on?  Isn't that what civilized adults do?

Not the adults that matter most. The ones I'm talking about mostly sneak around in back rooms and then in public vehemently disavow any responsibility for the things attributed to them.  They can also count on large numbers of people to defend, apologize and make excuses for them.

Nobody is to blame for this shooting but this idiot in NZ.  We can debate for days when and how this all started, but people are responsible for their own actions and reactions.

Well sure they are but ignoring the things that influence them that we can do something about, like anti-Muslim sentiment, seems foolish.

Totally agree. One thing the US could do is to think before electing the type of POTUS who says people carrying burning tiki torches, wearing swastikas and chanting "Jews will not replace us" as they march through the street are..... "good people"

Well sure they are but ignoring the things that influence them that we can do something about, like anti-Muslim sentiment, seems foolish.

So far on twitter i've seen Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro, Candice Owens, Jordan Peterson, PewDiePie, and Tucker Carlson being blamed for this shooting.  So if you're on the right and on twitter with lots of followers, or are pewdiepie, you're to blame apparently.  Some of these people have criticized Islam, none of these people as i'm aware have called for violence against them.

Is anti-white/anti-west sentiment to be "dealt with" in order to prevent radical Muslim terrorist attacks in the west?  Can we not criticize Israeli policies in order to reduce anti-semitism?
