HuffPo Author: Saying “All Lives Matter” an Act of Terrorism
iOWTreport.com ^ | 11/19/2015

Posted on 11/20/2015 5:33:28 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Writing for the Huffington Post, writer Shea Watts wonders aloud how the United States could possibly condemn ISIS when the US has been committing terrorism for hundreds of years.

His article, “Looking Within: The Convenient Amnesia of American Terrorism,” argues that Americans have perpetrated terrorism for centuries and that we must face these facts or else we are hypocrites for condemning the terror attacks in Paris last week.

“How much blood is on our hands?” Watts asks. “What a shame that we, as a nation, have not looked upon our sins. We have not asked forgiveness for the the lives and bodies and communities we have destroyed. These unreconciled acts of the past continue to manifest themselves in our society.”

Hypocritical whites and Christians have terrorized black people for hundreds of years. African Americans are, in fact, still subjects of terrorism.

“We live in a country where the dead body of a black teenager can be left in the street for hours, where police are recorded, time after time, beating, shooting, and mistreating blacks, but are seldom charged for their crimes,” he writes.

“How convenient is it that so many act as if these acts of terror never happened or pretend that this degree of hate does not exist?” Watts asks.

“Do we realize how these terrorist acts are reaffirmed and even recommitted by not only our actions, but also by our words?” he says, stating that words can “recommit” acts of terror. “At the very least, this should make one pause and think before one says, “ALL LIVES MATTER.””

Watts concludes, “So before you make a statement on race, educate yourself on the history of American terrorism… We must come to terms with our own violence against our own people before we can condemn ISIS and the likes of them.”

Then I guess "White Lives Matter" would really drive you bash*t.

They should be OBLM. "Only Black Lives Matter." That's what they mean.

OK, Shea Watts, proclaim the fatwa that a state of general racial war now exists in America and that it’s every black against every non-black.

The 13% versus the 87%.

Fact: Foreigners whose only knowledge of the U.S. comes from what they see on satellite TV often are of the opinion that America is a majority black nation.

Many of our domestic Amish believe that too, and for the same reason. One, two, many Fergusons/Baltimores and the belief is that an entire nation is aflame.

See where I’m going with this?

Terrorism is blacks aborting generations of babies. The terrorists are the libs that push them to it.

And I was so hopeful that when Nikki took down that flag in South Carolina that that would end the need to attack our country and its past.

Now we find Columbus was bad; Washington bad; Andrew Jackson bad; Davy Crockett and all the slave owners at the Alamo bad; Wilson bad; “Black Jack" Pershing bad; Reagan bad. And old Ben Franklin? He bad too.

Face facts: according to liberals the election of Obama was the first time anyone could be proud to be an American.

I hope there are still 50 righteous men in America. I hope there are 10.

Shea Watts, a syncophant bed-wetting liberal.

Boo-freaking-hoo. They invent new definitions of racism so as to play the perpetual victims. I. Am. So. Done. Grow up. Get a job. They can then live their life and quit complaining about mine.

Watts is a gay liberal theologian who was studying at the Chicago Theological Seminary at one time. He sipports gay martiage and writes anout gay issues. Its my guest he studied theologynin order to understand its concepts and precepts so he could deconstruct it to lead people away from God. This is what our culture has come to.
