That black muslims here in America are indeed a black white issue no matter how much you might wish it away. Do you listen to their White Devil speeches?

If the individual in question were a White Supremacist with the Turner Diaries in his rucksack and spouting some perverse Christian dogma would you also hope that it too would not be made into a "black/white" issue?

There are legions of homegrown black muslims in this nation who despise white folks and hate this country. You cannot claim that a parallel exists among whites in the same proportion.

The fact that I recognize this for what it is defines a distinction between myself and what I can gather from you and your replies.

You repsonded to arclight who was understandably upset since he is black and hates these implications that you too hoped the perp was not white. How noble.

Why? Because the truth is uncomfortable?

I didn't run from the truth about Tim McVeigh. I knew immediately when that happened who probably did it and I was ashamed and angry because I knew that it would tar all hard right white folks like me and that we had to condemn him for the murderous maniac he was and quick. In other words facing up to the truth.
