Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings Says He's More Afraid of White Terrorists Than Syrian Refugees Mic

[Expat1 971]

can someone explain to me how dallas is a liberal utopia? texas has only one liberal utopia that i'm aware of..

Excellent point V. Liberal utopia and democratic utopia are two completely independent things. Austin is fun. My bad.

He had hostages, shot at first responders and shot at police.

Stats show as a white male, he's more likely to be killed by another white male.

Not in Dallas, unless latinos are "white".

But anyway, we are not launching another satellite here to orbit "the all-encompassing blackness of Marvin the thread-killer".

So let's keep race out of it. Good god already.

Thanks for validating that this "white terrorist" was 180 murders ago and he didn't kill anybody.

Not to be a smart aleck, but many Latinos/Hispanic people are white. Latino/Hispanic is not a race.

Love,

Your friendly neighbourhood white Hispanic lady.

You might want to recheck your privilege. I wasn't the one who brought race into this thread.

He's a democrat. He better pander to his constituency and ignore the stats and say that if he wants to keep his job.

At 165 crimes per square mile, vs. 37.9 national median, and 42.48 crimes per 1000 residents, vs. national median 27.3, Dallas is becoming another democratic party utopia. So yeah, fear of white terrorists would be a solid pillar of a perfect re-election platform in such a magical location and we should all drop what we are doing and stand in breathless awe of Mike Rawlings' achievements in creating a safe and family-oriented community.

But yet oddly is infinitely more likely by odds to be killed by a black man, than a white man . However I am sure his statement keeps the base worked up

Know a lot of latinos that don't like being referred to as "white". Just sayin'

See the bug man about that. I don't appreciate a comment attributed to me that I didn't make. I'll ask you once to retract that implication.

You're the one he responded to AND he's the one who brought race into the discussion. I responded to his post about stats, not you. Then you said this:

So, if anything, you made an erroneous statement when you asked me to keep race out of it, since I wasn't the one who brought up race in the first place.

Thank you for never making anything on VJ about race

Never said I didn't. Some threads are in fact about racial differences. And there's nothing wrong with pointing that out, but there seems to be this idea that myself or Janelle CAN"T talk about race.

Thanks. That must have really hurt

Fixed. Yes, that's the idea. Dunno about anyone else but I've about had enough of it.

I'm pretty sure the same can be said about your constant degrading of Islam. But it's an open forum, as long as you don't break the TOS, you can post or reply whatever you want.

If you have a problem with Janelle or my posting practices, you're more than welcome to report it to the mods. Or, you can stop posting in our threads. Or, you can find another website that suits your needs.

I hope you find peace, wherever cyberspace takes you.

My understanding as well. Depends on what you call race. There are only three discernable skull types which would point to an actual distinction from one human to another. I guess unless you want to get bogged down in skin variation which is really neither here nor there.

I haven't said anything about Islam that I haven't personally witnessed.

I'm married to an immigrant. It's an immigration site. Suits my needs fine. Wrong place to walk into and start throwing around accusations of racism though.

Just making a comment that many latinos prefer to separate their ethnicity from the category "white" and find that label offensive. Though some do not, I have never really had anyone speak up about or complain about "latino" or "Hispanic" though I guess every group has someone somewhere who is offended no matter what term is used.

Is pointing out renouncing your faith in Saudi Arabia being a death sentence degrading Islam?
