Why do people consider Middle Eastern Radicalism, terrorist but not white supremacy groups here in the U.S.?

Question

I believe that the KKK and Neo-Nazi groups are terrorist. Why is it so much of an issue with terrorist when they get the white people. For over hundreds of years, blacks were (some still are) terrorized by these groups. So why wasn't the level of terrorism raised for them?

Actually the number of members in KKK is large, you'll be surprised at how many people (mayors, top city men, even your coworkers or classmates) are involved. Their is a large KKK ralley in many parts of TX. I know I was their. Plus my friend (who is white) went undercover to one and told me the people who were their. Of course whites will say their aren't many people in the KKK because they aren't targeting them.

Plus why would the Middle east terrorist, terrorize minorities. Anyone with common sense knows that whites control this country and nothing is really changed unless something bad happens to a "poor white person"

Answer 1

That's the funny part but of course the Middle East has the oil, and how can you have a "war on terrorism" anyway?

Answer 2

I think that is now changing, at least legally. Just as "stalking" is now illegal, the ways "terrorism" and "hate crimes" are defined and prosecuted is widening. Unfortunately, I don't believe it is widening enough!

If a white kid strays into a predominately black neighborhood, and is subsequently butchered by black gang members BECAUSE HE IS A WHITE KID, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, charges the black kids with a hate crime. NOT EVEN THE LOCAL PAPER WILL SAY IT. People will talk about "gang violence" and "assault charges" and "murder", but NOBODY will say the words "terrorist" or "hate crimes" or "racism".

This has happened in Michigan.

The perpetrator's color or ethnic group should not matter. A KKK member is just as much a member of a terrorist organization as the Black Panthers, as Al Quaida, as Shining Path. The only people willing to say such a thing, though, are "crackpot right-wing hack journalists".

Answer 3

I like the question first off. This is my view. Middle Easter Radicalism is not towards white people. It is toward America as a nation. They wish to bring turmoil to the country as a whole, not a certain group.

KKK and the Neo Nazis are usually domestic based group afters certain people (blacks,gays,jews, etc...)
They are still flagged and watched heavily because they are the cause of most domestic terrors.

Answer 4

you pick on two groups whose numbers are extremely small. when is the last time you have heard of someone being lynched at a klan rally? no, the kkk and the nazis are only a threat through their words which are protected under the first amendment to the u.s. constitution. get real!

Answer 5

there is no money to be made from taking out terrorist organizations within the united states,no matter how lame:kkk.
