I was wondering why the right-wing of US politics (and patnet) was so quiet about the Austin bomber. Then I realized why: They had a hunch, and correctly so, that the bomber was a white guy. Hence, they did not do the usual thing and demand that the bombings be declared as TERRORISM.

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.

Already guessed some would be twisting themselves in knots trying to find a racial or political reason:

Yeah, blog posts he had to write for a comm college class that represent fairly milquetoast views of about half the population including many who voted Lamb (D) in PA18 = proof positive his random bombings of all races and two completely different businesses were some kind of racial/political act.

Had a Dossier just waiting to be released within just a few hours of him being discovered, found and killed. Funny how they know all about him now isn't it?

When a Muslim blows up, runs over people, shoots and kills they say motive unknown and never describe the perpetrator ever.

The Truth will come out it always does dahlings!

(Sarc), when I white guy spreads terror by murdering random(?) people, it is not religious or political , and therefore not terror.

When the US kills or causes the death of millions of people, mostly Muslims, in the Middle East, it is not a religious or political act. We are just trying to HELP them, don't you know?

I have a new phrase for this, too: WASHINGTON TERROR

WASHINGTON TERROR is WHITE TERROR.

From the pattern and method, my guess was that he was white. I feel relatively safe calling it terrorism, only because I don't know if there was a specific political or social goal. I consider myself to be generally conservative leaning. Is there anything controversial in this post?

Who said the guy wasn't a Muslim?

Or, he's just nuts. Which explains why he bombed random people of all races and bombed both a Goodwill and a FedEx, and never left any messages for authorities claiming he was acting in the name of Whatever.

When a Muslim shoots up a nightclub and calls the police to say he did it in the name of Allah and ISIS, and has a history of going on Third Worlder Left/Muslim rants with several people at work, that's obviously terrorism.

It's not a hunch. The dude is white.

If there were a politically ambitious group whose defining cause or group identity is "white" then yes. Since there is no such group, nor has this man identified himself as being part of this fictitiousgroup, then no.

Your desire to call him a white terrorist is 100% about politicizing tragedy. It's a deplorable move.

Lol, it's not exactly difficult to denounce murder.

Exactly no-one is defining the 500 murders per year in Chicago as terrorism.

Personal much ? ;-)

BUT: I don't have a great desire to call the Austin bomber suspect (Mark Anthony Conditt) a terrorist. My post is about the lack of desire of the rightists to call the Austin bomber a terrorist, while they are very eager to call any violent Muslim and/or possibly political brown person a terrorist.

Actually they weren't. A thread was started about it a half hour before you made this thread.

Is there a particular reason or point why this thread was started a half hour later?
