Armani posted:I didn't see it before. Do you have any reading material? The line by Dylann about 'Raping our women' (along with everything else, Christ) has kind of stuck with me, in a bad way. I don't have any longform stuff on the subject, but here's a series of tweets on it by Zoe S. https://twitter.com/ztsamudzi/status/611936346219778048 (click on the tweet itself to get Zoe's take on it, I don't know how to internet.) Essentially the thing being discussed is a need for nuanced understanding of how white women's identities are used to justify racist violence. Obviously, not all white women etc., but the basic idea is that feminism needs to focus more on how patriarchal structures justify violence against black men due to a sense of ownership over white women's bodies. There's innumerable of instances of this playing out in America history. Black men killed for looking at / "accosting" white women, or even being killed for having consensual affairs in order to preserve the white woman's honor. It's tricky, of course, because despite this stuff existing, there's still toxic misogyny within all American communities, black ones included. So it's not as transparently clean a fight like white women vs white men or black men vs white men. There are instances in which both groups oppress each other by using the privileges of their gender and race.

Grouchio posted:A ton of people (40M +) recently saw Jon Stewart's speech on Charleston today and yesterday. Could this video alone make many people wake the gently caress up to the ugly truth? Or will they continue to do jack-poo poo? I have had a ton of people share it on Facebook but they are the ones who normally would share stuff like this. The rest have ignored it or focused on "Obama is gonna take our guns!" I took a history of terrorism class in the Spring of 2002 (my university decided to use it as an opportunity). The very first thing we did as a class was to try to "define" terrorism. Everyone had a different definition and then the professor showed us how the U.S. Government was the same way with each agency using different definitions. I was hoping that this would be declared as terrorism (at least by my definition) but I am not surprised that it is not.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:The failure of the FBI director to acknowledge this is terrorism is one of the clearest examples of privilege I've seen in years. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as “the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." Sep 13, 2011 I am guessing that the FBI feels that he could not really promote the furtherance of political or social objectives. I guess it would be like "if a guy shoots up a church and no one pays attention to his reasons and no one acts on it, did it happen in the first place?" Massively stupid still and that is the only way that they could not classify it as terrorism since their definition is very VERY broad.

I recommend Tim Weiner's Enemies (on the FBI) and Legacy of Ashes (on the CIA). Speaking of which, Weiner has a new book out this week, One Man Against the World (on Nixon), and it will surprise nobody that I preorderd that poo poo and am already halfway through it. Fun read. My favorite detail so far: Nixon would exile himself for months at a time in his home in San Clemente. He liked to sit in his study with all the blinds drawn, the air conditioner on and a wood fire burning in southern California, in August.

Yeah, the idea that furtherance of racism, in south Carolina of all places, isn't a "political or social objective" is * stupefyingly* ignorant. The only explanations are either a massively privileged viewpoint or a deliberate decision to not acknowledge a successful terrorist attack for fear of political blowback.

I think it will be interesting, as the conservative mainstream collapses, to see the extremist groups they nurtured and indirectly supported under the cover of plausible deniability continue to go loving nuts after being let off the leash. People like this kid, the militia folks, radical Christian groups, etc, etc, all operating in an environment of losing battle after battle in the political sphere, it's going to be a fun decade or two

I want to believe that it was a political decision to avoid freaking out right wing groups into thinking g Obama was going to round them up under the guise of terrorism. And that since the case is pretty much open and shut already they are content just sticking to hate crime. Beliefs aren't facts though.

State's Rights is the ultimate, weak-sauce argument of those too cowardly (or, I suppose, untrustworthy) to offer an actual loving opinion. Not stating that the State should decide to take it down is chickenshit. Calling it a State's issue dodges the fundamental question. Calling Gay Marriage a State's issue dodges a fundamental question. What do these people actually believe? Do you believe that it should stay up, and you're too chickenshit to say so, because the part of the country that isn't loving crazy will rightfully crucify you for it in the court of public opinion? Or do you believe that it DOES represent something evil and abhorrent, but you're too chickenshit to say so, because you honestly need the evil, abhorrent fuckers who want to keep it to vote for you?
