    No, it is not hypocritical -- because Don Lemon didn't make up statistics that said most of the acts of terrorism in this country were committed by white men

    However, your cult leader used "FAKE STATS" in a meme that was generated by "RACISTS" to try to demonize black people...and you still are defending it...which tells me all I need to know

    Can you let me know what policies Don Lemon has pushed that targets white men judicially? Does Don Lemon advocate white men be stop and frisked? Nope...Does Don Lemon advocate that travel restrictions be placed on white men? Nope

    So again...spare me the fake outrage...all Don did was pop your privilege bubble and now you are having hissy fits

    "Donald Trump kicked off his presidential bid more than a year ago with harsh words for Mexico. “They are not our friend, believe me,” he said, before disparaging Mexican immigrants: “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” "

    The topic was the number of terrorist incidents, not the number of victims.

    I never claimed Blacks were responsible for most crime. Not sure what your issue with me is.

    Sure I can.

    Many people over the last twenty to thirty years have created new rules about what is and what is not "racist".

    Based on those rules which have been created, there is a new set of things that needs to be held back …. unless your white.

    For example, you stated in your OP that twice as many white men than Arabs have been in shootings, meanwhile if someone explains that blacks make up the bulk of our murder or crime rate people immediately say the cops are racist or the system or whatever else.

    Well, you have to sleep in the bed you have made, the new system of "racism" has to be equal. If it is equal, what this Don idiot said is racist.

    You don't get to use racism as a shield when you need it and as a sword against whites when you need it too.

    If so, people will call you a hypocrite and Progressives will lose even more support than they currently have. Progs asked for this PC stuff, you guys can't take it back now

    Oh dear, well, this is exactly the hypocrisy that my post above was talking about.

    Carry on, nothing to see in the OP but a hypocrite. This will hurt race tensions even more when people like this guy say stuff we are supposed to hold back when it is for blacks and arabs.

    When you look at Trump's comment -- it is even worse...

    He couldn't definitively say that some were good people -- it was an "assumption"

    I don't have a problem with you, and you tagged me remember? You said something about demographics and that had nothing to do with what I was talking about. I just made corrections is all :shrug:.

    Of course demographics are part of the discussion you are talking about crime and race.

    The Census Bureaus uses five racial classifications that are defined as indicated below. State classifications of race may differ from federal classifications.[60]
    • White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East (i.e. West/Southwest Asia including Arabs, Assyrians, Jews, Kurds, Persians and Turks), North Africa (i.e. Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia) and Central Asia (i.e. Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).
    US is 73% white. His statement makes as much sense as saying that men are the biggest terrorist threat, where is the travel ban on men.

    The person claimed black people were responsible for most crimes. This is a false statement demographics or not. "Demographics" can't make this false claim true is all I was saying.

    When did I demonize you. I merely pointed out that you seem to have forgotten 9-11 when you claim white men are Americas biggest terrorism threats

    "CNN’s Don Lemon doubles down after saying white men are ‘the biggest terror threat in this country’"

    most in the USA are, but it's still a minority of white men, thus Don's point.... trying to blame a entire race for the action of a minority of a race is wrong

    most school shooters are white and male... doesn't mean when demonize all white males - that was the point Don was making

    Big difference between lone wolf nuts and international terrorist organizations that actively plan, coordinate and recruit for acts of terrorism

    Most crime is false.

    Violent crime its close depending on year.. That does not stop the fact that even if its slightly under 50% for that given year its beyond crazy that 13% of the population is doing it.

    It isn't a big difference to the people that got killed....but like I said -- you folks will continue to find ways to justify EVERYTHING a white terrorist does....

    You should refrain from posting the thoughts you apply to yourself.

    You are defending racists when you continue to not call out this tweet by your cult leader for what it is

    Do you hold the president of the United States to a lower standard than a news host?

    Your post is hilarious. How on Earth do you equate this thread with a 'war on white men'? Too funny.

    Very good and now you see Trump never said all illegas were rapist as a previous poster insinuated.

    Interesting you have to use number of incidents instead of numbers of deaths to qualify a statement that white men are the biggest terrorist threat. Numbers count and organized terrorism is far different from lone wolf nut jobs. Also interesting how the left leans over backwards to not label mass killings by Muslims shouting God is great as terrorism while at the same time labeling every white male loon that goes on a shooting spree a terrorist.

    And the heart of the problem? Assumptions based on stereotypes. The tendency to react without having to bother with actual thought processes. Probably an evolutionary hold-over that allows animals to react instantly rather than waste precious time analyzing a life of death situation. We seem to have co-opted that into our politics.
