Browbeating

[level_head]

A commenter asked why the slaughter of blacks in South Carolina recently was not used for browbeating like the Orlando slaughter and all the others. Here was my reply:
The mass slaying of black churchgoers by Dylan Roof has indeed been used for browbeating, including multiple times in speeches by Barack Obama and by a great many leaders at the

That's the thing. Like what happened at SUNY-Albany a few months ago, some minorities are trying to blame white people for what they themselves did. This happened quite often in the last year.

Don't forget that the same hypocrites who tell us not to judge Muslims for the actions of a few immediately go off their rockers and blame Republicans and the NRA for the Orlando shooting and are even blaming Trump for ISIS recruitment!

The standards are completely different depending on whether the person being judged can be blamed somehow on conservatives or Republicans. Hence the acts of the ISIS-pledging Afghani-heritage Muslim jihadist in Orlando is being blamed on Republicans in general, the Republican-led Congress, and especially the NRA.

The Left and their media are not including for blame even ISIS.

The fact is that at least a bare majority of Muslims support on or more of (depending upon the survey):
• forcing Shariah law
• death to apostates
• honor killing of women
• jihad against innocent "infidels"

This does not paint all Muslims with the jihadist brush, but it DOES paint on the order of half of them, or many hundreds of millions.

This does not register with anyone in the progressive media.

I noticed that often times their families fail to report their suspicious family members. They might charge his wife as a possible accessory.

And yeah, the Huffington Post and NYT already blamed Republicans, Obama blamed Trump and the ACLU blamed Christians. Everyone but the terrorist himself, and the left wonder why they're untrustworthy.

"There was a spate of mostly-black-church fires in the US south years ago,"

There was a spate of church arsons. They were equal opportunity, actually, but guess which ones got the press?

[level_head]

Point taken. The filtering of news is many-faceted.

Good point marycatelli. I think I recall seeing that myself but had since forgotten.

I have to thank LH for challenging what I had accepted as true:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/07/01/the-good-news-there-probably-isnt-an-unusual-rash-of-arsons-at-black-southern-churches/
"Abnormal" is an important word there. A 2000 investigation into church arsons found 945 examples between January 1995 and that August -- an average of 14 a month. In the South, those fires were disproportionately at churches with black congregations. Other data suggests that arsons at churches could occur as often as five times a week.

So the spate of church arson could simply have been people suddenly noticing church arson.

This is one of the reasons I love reading this blog

They have no fear of criticizing the US military. This is the media that announced that "honoring" the military on Veterans Day was inappropriate as they did not deserve honor.

But, as with climate events, they just have very selective memories.

America is unquestionably the least racist country in the world

For certain values of "unquestionably." Many DO question if not deny that claim, judging from how frequently the accusations fly. But for my own part, I can't think of a nation I know to be less racist. Maybe the Vatican, but that barely counts.

[allaboutweather]

America's the most tolerant country too, but the left ignore that and the fact that the only real democracy in the middle east is israel. That, and the fact that most Muslims countries are authoritarian and many of them persecute Christians.

Well, Elvis is unquestionably dead. But several percent of the population believe that he's alive.

I looked up "least racist countries" and did find the U.S. at #1 on at least one study (there were two reports two years apart, possibly of the same), but its only criterion was how many survey respondents would tolerate having a neighbor of another race. Several of the same countries were counted among the most racist countries on other sites, some even putting the U.S. at #1 that way. That said, those sites don't give any study details; they just talk about nonstatistical observations, including not-so-recent history.

What all the lists have in common (with the possible exception of sites that ask for popular votes) is that India belongs among the three most racist.
