you are mistaking me calling out someone being a hypocrite as me saying that one thing is better than the other.
No, both are bad duh.. but you seriously dont think it is the least bit ironic, that the same community who have been scolded time after time for racist hate speak against any non white person that pops up in the media have happened to have SKIPPED the attack in colorado all together and before the suspects are even really in in san bernadino, are already stringing up Muslims as the culprits and making multiple threads about it, even after having a few of them locked & deleted?
You dont find that the least bit ironic and hypocritical?

I hadn't thought about the lack of discussion about the Planned Parenthood attack. That's a good point, but don't think it represents any form of intentional bias or bigotry. I am sure every poster in OT (feel free to speak up if I misrepresent anyone with this statement) thinks the PP attack was deplorable. I think the greater conversation that falls into is mental health in America and it's relation to gun control (which we discuss a fair bit).
I think we also could agree that
if (god forbid) another PP is attacked, it will be by another right-winger. And, it will still be wrong.
If we have another mass shooting it will either be by a deranged white male or a Muslim.
I sincerely hope we don't see either, but especially dread the latter because it represents a new persistent threat already afflicting other parts of the world. We don't need more problems.
