The funny part was Sarah Sanders claiming this wasn't terrorism.
What exactly is the Administration's definition of terrorism then?

Quigley saysAh, your first mistake.
Thinking you could come to a relevant (never correct) conclusion based on nothing but your powers of reasoning!
Everything after that was just mental masturbation.
Moderators let this one go?

Justme is racist who hates white people. His posts are Leftwing Terror.

Would that be like denying the Ft Hood shooting that killed 13 and wounded 30 was terrorism, even though done by an Islamic extremist yelling "Allah u Akbar?" The Obama administration and their allies were explicitly against labeling that this Ft Hood massacre as terrorism, but instead called it "work place violence."

Wow.. You can't make this stuff up. Take a second and think about what someone is saying when they say "criminals don't follow laws, so why make more of them"
That is basically arguing for zero laws. Rapists don't follow laws, so why make it illegal?
Is that really what gun nuts want? Complete anarchy. No laws?

Yeah so it was likely was (domestic) terrorism, no problem with the assessment if you leave skin color out of it cause it has nothing to do with it, still dwarfs imported terrorism so much that the thread becomes insignificant.

No. Every other cultural/religious terror act classified as such has had a clear message/cultural or religious justification by the perpetrator. That's why they have been classified as such.This is a non starter. Domestic is the only attribute assignable here.

Its called murder. This guy was indeed out to cause mayhem and terror. He was not, however, a terrorist since he has no known political or group motive. He was just a nihilistic FUCK, who wanted to murder strangers. If he was a member of a group that had a goal of overthrowing the patriarchy, for example, then there may be a case for calling this terrorism. THAT still wouldnt be WHITE TERROR unless his group identity and motivation behind this attack was somehow linked to a "WHITE" group.
OFC everything is an assumption at this point, so we really don't know.
This isnt complicated, just seems like the left cant skip a chance to shit on white men. Quite pathetic

This is true. The bomber's likely origin in the majority ethnic group and majority religion is completely irrelevant because those characteristics have nothing to do with his motive (as far as we know so far).
Islamic bombing is the opposite, where the religion is the bomber's main motive for the bombing, and the attack is very loudly proclaimed to be for Islam in pretty much every case.

The unifying theme of the NY Times and NPR is that they shit on white men every day, either explicitly, or implicitly by selecting daily coverage of and showing great sympathy for anyone who is not white and male, simply because they are not white and male.
The NY Times and NPR are nearly perfect examples of racism and sexism (and psychological projection) in daily life.

If he yelled "Alahu Ahkbar" before he did it, the muslim terror would be a reasonable guess.
If there were a string and pattern of christians terrorizing the country using bombs like this, then assuming christian terror may be valid.
In this situation, there is no association between his christian family, and his actions. Unless they find a manifesto where he says something to that nature than calling it WHITE or CHRISTIAN terror is pure bigotry. Its a deplorable move... but go ahead and try to make your bigoted point if ya like.

This is a very weak argument as well, since whites outnumber Muslims in America by something like 40 to 1.
The fact that Muslim terrorist attacks are similarly frequent means that Muslims are attacking innocent Americans at about 40 times the reverse rate.

I think it is time to resurrect an old term that originated during the French Revolution, and has since been reused several times through the centuries:
WHITE TERROR
So from now one, if there is an act that could be viewed as possible terrorism, the public should always ask: Is it terrorism? Is it WHITE TERROR? Then the public should relentlessly hound rightist politicians and blog jockeys why why WHY have they not denounced the violence as a cowardly act of terrorism. That would only be fair, given that the rightists always want to brand violence by Muslim or brown people as terrorism, while ignoring the same acts if perpetrated by a white person.
