[video]White supremacists and other rightwing extremists have been responsible for 67% of domestic terror attacks and plots so far this year, with at least half of that violence targeting protesters, according to a new analysis from a centrist thinktank.
The report found only a single deadly “far-left” attack in 2020, the shooting of Aaron Danielson, a rightwing activist, by a self-described “anti-fascist” during a protest in Portland this August. Experts on extremism said this was the first killing linked to an anti-fascist in the United States in 25 years.
Violent rightwing actors were responsible for 41 politically motivated attacks and plots this year, while “far-left” actors were responsible for 12, according to analysts at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), who have assembled a database of domestic terror attacks going back to 1994.[/video]
Hmmmm where's all the anti-fa at??? -
2020-10-23 at 5:44 PM UTCAbsolutely 100% believable. Those right wing, nut job, white supremacists made those riots much worse by attacking protestors.
But you know racism doesn’t exist, §m£ÂgØL.
How could you? -

Yep. CSIS. That's what happens when you look at objective reality instead of making up your own facts. Many former high ranking government officials work for them. They helped mold the current US cyber warfare policy. They actually receive money from multiple world governments for their impartiality, including China, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, UAE, USA, Australia, South Korea, Turkey, Canada, the EU, Netherlands, UK, Vietnam...

They take money from Bill Gates to the Koch brothers.

Pray tell what sort of left wing bias Bank of America, Chevron, Pan American Energy, Exxon, Beoing, Lockheed Martin, and Saudi Aramco (the Saudi government's oil company)
They're all left wing amirite?
OR
OR MAYBE
JUST MAYBE
Just maybe you have no basis for your conjecture and simply "don't agree" when presented with cold, hard evidence. Maybe you'd like to post a study of your own showing that left wing extremism is worse than right wing extremism?
Either way it's only 53 domestic terror attacks. Attacks, not all killings. Meanwhile an average of 50 Americans die every year from lightning strike related fatalities.
Really says something when you are 5x more likely to be killed by lightning than attacked by left wing extremists. -

Yep. Trump is literally condoning this shit in public. Hitler said similar stuff. "They need to be taken care of." "We're going to fix this problem." People think Trump needs to say "I hate black people and you should go out and kill them" before they think he's condoning racism and violence. Protip: Most racists aren't going to say that. They know it will be used against them.
A vote for Trump is a vote for violence and racism. It is as simple as that. This shit didn't happen under Bush or Obama. -

He cracked me up last night. “I’m the least racist person here.” LOL
Sure sign of a total racist.
That’s like saying, “I have a black friend.”

It's even worse than that honestly. Don't forget he said he's done more for the black community than any president in history, with the exception of POSSIBLY Abraham Lincoln. -

Originally posted by Meikai It's true. Lyndon B. Johnson ain't got shit on Trump, and Lincoln had slaves so.
He didn't actually own slaves. Like I have said before, Lincoln was anti-slavery for years. Slavery was ended in 1964. This is Lincoln from 1937."Resolutions upon the subject of domestic slavery having passed both branches of the General Assembly at its present session, the undersigned hereby protest against the passage of the same.
They believe that the institution of slavery is founded on both injustice and bad policy; but that the promulgation of abolition doctrines tends rather to increase than to abate its evils.
They believe that the Congress of the United States has no power, under the constitution, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the different States.
They believe that the Congress of the United States has the power, under the constitution, to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia; but that that power ought not to be exercised unless at the request of the people of said District.
The difference between these opinions and those contained in the said resolutions, is their reason for entering this protest."
This is how you sling shit in the 1800's.
1854:If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B. – why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?–
You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter, having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.
You do not mean color exactly?–You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and, therefore have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.
But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest, you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.
Like, if you're not trolling HTS, I seriously recommend you read some actual historical literature. I took an entire semester on the Civil War so fucking try me. The idea that Lincoln had slaves, or was pro-slavery, is totally revisionist and against everything he said in his speeches for decades. The only reason he didn't abolish slavery was to avoid starting a war, and because slavery WAS constitutional back then. It isn't anymore. -

*cough*

It's more than doubled in the last year. To be expected because of COVID, but could've been avoided if Trump had acted rationally. -

I was under the impression that he inherited some and freed them, but reading about his family they were members of a church that opposed slavery so even that probably isn't true. Even if Lincoln had owned slaves in the capacity I thought he had, it would mean very little.

It really shouldn't be a question if I'm talking about Trump having done more for black America than the guy who signed the Civil Rights Act. -
2020-10-23 at 8 PM UTCLike I'm not vehemently anti-Trump, but at best (and by his own telling) his biggest accomplishment is supposedly increased African American employment numbers. Even if we want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and say he was only joking about Lincoln "maybe" having done more, the fact that he didn't even mention the guy who sat in office during the Civil Rights Movement and ended legal segregation is... astonishingly historically illiterate.

I meant more about Lincoln having slaves.
I can't stand people getting all revisionist about Lincoln. He spoke out against slavery for decades. People think this lanky nigga just showed up and became President, but he was in politics for a long time before that. History doesn't just happen in a blink. -

Trump has a really weird obsession with black people where he tries to pander to them hard as to not appear racist.
Look at his rap videos from the 90's and early 2000's. It's some cringy shit.
