Are whites being hated because of the Oklahoma City bombing?

Post Reply New Topic

For those of you who don't know, in 1995 a white-supremacist, anti-government terrorist by the name of Timothy McVeigh bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma resulting in the deaths of many people including children. More information can be found here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing

That said, it has been more than 20 years since that incident, could the white people who are being attacked by the far left extremists (the so-called "social justice warriors") be a consequence of the stigma generated from said bombing as evidenced from the following videos?







After watching a Netflix documentary on the incident I can't help but feel a little sympathy for those social justice warriors hating on white people, especially if they are related to the victims of the Oklahoma bombing.


...However, racism will always be considered a haneous act on my moral compass, regardless of the race in question (unlike the logic of most SJW's).

I haven't noticed any anti-white sentiment because of it. The overwhelming majority of people didn't lump all whites with McVeigh, even though white nationalism is every bit as ghastly as Salafism.

No.

The Oklahoma Bombing was a heinous act, but it had no effect on the endemic racial strife in American society that was already centuries old in the mid 1990's. And, as Tim said, no one even associated the act with racism at the time any way (most of the victims, as I understand it, were the same skin color as the perpetrator: White, anyway).

SJWs aren't extremists, they're moderates. Most of them aren't left-wing either; people with all sorts of political views can be SJWs.

White people are not hated.

McVeigh is only brought up when racists claim that all terrorists are brown people.

To equate whiteness with OKC is really, kind-of obsolete. This trope was more-common, in the militia days, when talkshows still came over the analog antenna. A current event in the late 80's and early 90's.

We know, now, that infiltrators will instigate, to make people look bad, and that is how McVeigh was regarded by avowed racists.

These movements were effectively maligned, when mysterious "wanted" posters named specific officials, who were supposed to be tried by the paramilitants. Or, were they crisis actors.

The Davidians were tried on leftist technicalities. The fact that firearms are mainly used to put holes in things, animate and inanimate, was not a priority. Guns in the hands of religious cultists would have been completely ethical, had they been recorded in a certain way, and measured at a certain length. The same tact was used at Ruby Ridge. The people were allowed to believe anything they wanted, no matter how offensive. The authorities were considered to be impartial, because they focused on the technicalities -- arbitrary legalisms.

As a cultural phenomenon, it has collapsed, this way.

McVeigh is a thumb in the eye of many...including groups opposed to each other.

I remember seeing an angry Arab woman on TV (she even wore a burka)in the early 2000's who was upset about the US media always tacking the word "Islamic" onto the word "Terrorism".

She said "why don't they call Timothy McVeigh a 'Christian terrorist'?".

I thought to myself "Lady! McVeigh may have been a Christian, but he didnt do the act in the name of Christianity the way Ben Ladin did 9-11 in the name of Islam.So though he was certainly a 'terrorist' he would be 'a terrorist who happened to be Christian' and not a 'Christian terrorist'"

I learned later that McVeigh was not even a "Christian". He self ID'd as an "atheist" (kinda surprising since McVeigh's creed was a kind of pathologically extreme version of what would later be called "Tea Partyism" which is associated with the Bible Belt).Though obviously he was an American White guy of Christian (prolly Catholic Irish) cultural background.

But on the other hand Americans assume that most terrorists in America are Koran thumping brown people. In fact most of the people on the FBI terrorism watch list are native born White guys (survivalists hold up in cabins) much like small time versions of McViegh.

In the past 5 years I have only seen one person I feel was being racist towards white people. It was an angry black guy in a wheelchair just ranting and raving about white people, even the other black people near the bus stop told the guy to knock it off and quit being hateful. I have not noticed any large scale anti-white racism, so no I do not think people generally hate whites because of the Oklahoma City bombing. Granted the ones that do are no worse than the white people who stereotype all Muslims or middle eastern people as terrorists, or white people who stereotype black people as criminals.

It seemed redundant, for me to quote so many lines, as we are both in general agreement, as to the details of the case.

I said that rules are ultimately arbitrary, but intended to keep us from going over the slippery slope. In this, and other threads, I have spoken in favor of nepotism, and identity politics, and enlightened self-interest, as I was being candid.

I think that you weren't actually concerned with public safety, but were just playing politics.

So, as well as agreeing to the details, we are taking a similar approach towards eachother. Are you being intellectually-honest about that, as I am?
