FlashBack: Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American [Liberals aided the terrorists]
www.salon.com ^ | APril 17 2013 | By David Sirota

Posted on 04/19/2013 2:45:16 PM PDT by NoLibZone

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks.

That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters.

However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.

“Disgruntled, violent, christian-hating nihilists who rejected everything good this country has to offer. They sound like us. Nothing to see here. Too bad they weren’t Americans. Let’s move along.”
The left and their media

No,it isn’t islam. Though it is definitely their lack of Christian values, such as love they neighbor as you love yourself and forgiveness, such as turn the other cheek when offended. These are Christian values.

“hoping it is a white American” - shame on these people. They need it rubbed in their face at every opportunity. In fact they need to loose their jobs, give them time to think about things. Such irresponsibility.

Sirota is building himself up as one of the greatest imbeciles to ever touch his monkey paws to a keyboard.

The biggest mass murderers today are obuma’s black sons killing other blacks. Sirota is so wrapped up in his politically correct muck that the simpleton 60 IQ ape can’t see it.

The country really is hopelessly divided. Sometimes I think CW 2 is inevitable.

Nope. citizens. The guy they are chasing took his oath 9/11 last year, just in time to vote ....

It is my understanding that only the young one was a naturalized citizen, the older was not. Regardless, they are/were both muslims on Jihad. Enough said.

Thanks for the ping, nutmeg.

Didn't see that article, but saw white white white being screamed all over the leftist media.

The John Doe from this scenario is being fawned over by Michelle Obama and the administration and will disappear just as the Islamic Muslim Terrorist John Doe did after the OKC bombing.

No Islamic connection back then, and no Saudi connection in this murderous massacre. (probably financed by the Saudi friends of Obama that met with him secretly so we wouldn't have another picture of Obama bowing to a Saudi)

David Sirota is a very public self-hating white man. This is how he makes his living. I’ll bet his boyfriend is black and Dave is the bottom

However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.

Read the comments on these Lib websites. They are claiming that since these terrorists were from the Caucasus mountain area, they are “Caucasians.” And since a family member claimed they weren’t religious, the Libs are claiming that they weren’t motivated by Islamic terrorism.

What you want to bet their heads would explode if they found out the bombers were/are against homosexual marriage?
