Racism doesn't exist like the media would have you think. It was virtually nonexistent before Obama was elected. We regressed 40 years while he was president.

Unfortunately, I can't tell if this is meant as sarcasm.

My original post was directed at what seemed to me to be a lot of mental gymnastics and effort to talk about anything except the racial component of the attack, the white-nationalist ideology that fueled it (and the media that promote it), and America's unhealthy gun culture that makes it more likely for hateful thought to become harmful action.

So, instead of seeing tons of comments explicitly condemning the attack...full stop, it's a bunch of "Hmmm, this seems very convenient for [insert liberal group/cause]" and "Hmmm, that manifesto seemed to well-written for an 18-yr-old, so..." and "If they think abortion is ok, they should be ok with this."

absolutely nobody said this. i've not seen anyone not condemn the attack for what it is.

FULL STOP

But going back to your hypothetical, if the racial component was reversed, would Brandon and the media respond in the same way?

The President is right for going to Buffalo. Why didn't he go to Waukesha? -- the racial components were reversed. MSM covered up. It wasn't a "crazed black nationalist" it was "red suv".

Will the President go to Laguna Hills where a Chinese nationalist killed Taiwanese Americans?

Slink back over to DU. Nobody is taking your bait here.
