Federal security agencies have increasingly sounded the alarm on white supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists as a "significant domestic terrorism threat.

"It's given right-wing extremism an environment to thrive and grow."

"We better understand this is a clear and present danger to American democracy,"

"The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a nonprofit policy research organization, found that alleged right-wing attacks and plots have accounted for the majority of all U.S. terrorist incidents since 1994."

    I consider myself more of a culturist than a racist. I could care less about their DNA. I care about what culture they were brought up in

    Just another big lie from the current DC administration! They are referring to all those who voted for Trump.

    That label is designed to apply to anyone in which they disagree with; soon we will all be “Right Wing Extremist”. Don’t think this will play out well for them as we will be triggered at some point; when we are triggered, we don’t cry about a safe space…

    In 1977 ish – I had a friend, Jason, who happened to be black as well… Very similar situation where I was a sheep among wolfs and I had no idea. We were playing a game of Sorry on his front porch when he demanded something returned, I forget what it was and its unimportant. The point is as a child I called him an “Indian Giver”, oh my god, he thought it was a racial slur and went into major victim mode. He ran to my house and had to inform my parents that I was a racist SOB. LOL

    The mindset is instilled early and for a long time, I can’t image it would have subsided so easily now because I’m sure someone of Indian descent would have stood up and say, “Hey wait, that is a racial sure to Indians”.

    We are both being played… I still judge each on their own merits but I’m also a creature of pattern recognition; due to my experiences I need to admit that I start with preconceived notions about someone, oddly enough its not the skin color, its how they dress and present themselves. I don’t think that is racist at all…

    Every other culture has its supremist and are accepted without question; besides the American culture, its raciest to promote your culture.

    ABSOLUTELY...
    My point was kinda proving that we avoid painting with the same brush, even when it is obvious. That's bad. Evil is evil, regardless the color of the skin of the perpetrator or victim!

    This is what pisses me off!..Extreme right wing is actually people that advocate NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL! But of course, everything far left is far right...they have created a world that is ass backwards and upside down.

    Terrorism, fascism, tyranny, marxism etc is all far left.

    America was intended to be "slightly right of center...just enough government to protect one's borders and rights guaranteed by the constitution and that is it!....It takes responsibility and good morals and ethics to keep it that way but as we know, The Great Unwashed has always been attracted to power and corruption...I guess that's why we call the worlds governments Kakistocracy's.

    In my life I've been beaten twice by blacks who didn't like white people, slapped by blacks who didn't like white people, spit on by blacks who didn't like white people, and asked to leave a restaurant because white people weren't allowed there after a certain time of night (I had been there many times during the day). However, I've had many good interactions with blacks and I will not judge those people by the actions of the evil ones.

    It's hard not to give in to that, with all that is going on. But I don't want to be a "tool" or useful idiot of the left. So I try to remember how it was before BLM and keep an open mind. Both sides are being played by the left.

    Yeah, I remember "The Polar Bear Game"
    where young black men would sucker punch some middle aged white guy. They killed a few.

    And it was determined NOT to be a hate crime.
    But, then again, they RENAMED the game, because the name KINDA IMPLIED it was racial targeting.

    Unfortunately we will continue to do what we have been doing….keeping our mouths shut, being afraid of being called racist, and going to work so that we can pay taxes, which enables others to sit on their butts and call us extremists.

    I like the Governor of Florida's idea that you shouldn't be able to protest at anyone's home!

    I am so done with black entitlement. I dont even want to interact with blacks anymore, and I was never that way. They can just stay away from me at this point.

    anytime people voice concerns about "dangers to our democracy", I know they are full of it and just trying to further some leftist agenda.

    The consensus on the left is that only whites are capable of racism. Corn pop was a bad dude but he wasn't a racist. That has about as much truth as when Joe said he was going to heal the country and bring us all together. Hate is hate no matter what label is put on it.

    Yes, name names and prove it. I believe that maybe a few hundred out of about 200 million can be paraded in front of the TV, but that will be it.
