      History of being a threat does not make something a threat now. The black plague is not a huge threat now.

      if you are trying to then make the point that one is worse than the other, you need to contend with the fact that most Muslims are not violent in the name of their faith.

      I’ve never made that claim, you’re getting confused with the straw man you keep trying to set up. As I’ve said multiple times, but it apparently hasn’t sunk in, the comparison to Muslim extremism was only to say both are rare, and are used to control idiots.

      Also congratulations, you’re taking the side of white supremacy 👏

      Never took their side, just said their misdeeds are given publicity to scare morons into thinking they are a huge threat.

          Did you just compare systemic racism to the black plague? Another apples and oranges comparison. The main difference between the two is that one is integrated heavily into modern society still, and remains an active, massive influence on the lives of innocent beyond just fatalities, and the other ended in 1353.

          Both were prevalent in the past and are not now.

          Care to provide any evidence white supremacy is integrated heavily into modern society, has a massive influence on the lives of the innocent?

          We’ve both already agreed they’re rare I don’t know why you keep bringing that up like I’ve been ignoring it.

          How can something that is rare be “integrated heavily into modern society still, and remains an active, massive influence on the lives of innocent beyond just fatalities”?

          You are effectively taking the side of white supremacists even trying to suggest that they’re in some way equal to Muslims.

          I’ve never suggested white supremists are equal to Muslims, this is the straw man you keep pushing. I used the term radical Muslims, you even acknowledged it. Your gotcha moment isn’t there Colombo.

              Just because you don’t experience systemic racism on a day-to-day basis doesn’t mean it isn’t prevalent. Your privilege is showing.

              You haven’t provided any instances of white supremacy being prevalent. Are you now trying to say white supremacy is prevalent, I could have sworn you conceded it was rare.

              POC get statistically higher rates on loans, lower pay, and inferior healthcare, especially women.

              Source? Did they correct for wages and credit score or is this another sensationalized study to get morons whipped up into a frenzy?

              Dude, you’re the one that first tried to compare the two, go back and read your first comment in this thread if you don’t believe me.

              You do know you can compare things and say that certain things are similar but not claim they are equal right?
