For Shame : The Media

The media is just another money making industry. Got to make it interesting so people want to watch and sponsors will buy advertising. Journalistic integrity is an oxymoron in many cases. What exactly are we supposed to get out of watching some guy who hasn't yet been proven guilty walking from the court house to his car? None of this would of happened if the media wasn't there and the camera crew wasn't following them down the street. It's called the 'Observer Effect'. Sensationalistic journalism is not to be respected and technically not journalism.

Not even sure where to start with this mess of fragmented, incomprehensible, misquoted and misguided assumption of a falsely opinionated post...

so lets break it down

I can see that you dont think calling someone a terrorist is bad. It's actually almost or as bad as calling a black Ni gger. Lets see you defend a camera man yelling out nig ger to a black guy. "its legal"

To me, yes the word is the same. An insult is an insult and the degree of effectiveness or lack thereof is directly proportional to the intelligence, maturity, experience and demeanor of the intended recipient.

According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terrorist:
ter·ror·ist
Show Spelled[ter-er-ist]
-noun1. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism.
2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others.

"A person"..... Doesn't say, Arab, Muslim, Indian, Italian or Male or Female.
The definition is in regards to a "Person that creates or uses terror", which can be ANYONE.

That fact that you and many others consider "terrorist" to be solely attached to ONLY Muslims is a fault of the media, government, current events and individuals. This is also why everyone was sooooooooooooo confused whether or not to call Mr. Stack a terrorist as he was a white dude.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/19/us/19crash.html

But in place of the typical portrait of a terrorist driven by ideology, Mr. Stack was described as generally easygoing, a talented amateur musician with marital troubles and a maddening grudge against the tax authorities.

This is bullshiet. It was terrorism. Same theory applies to "racism".... how many whites do you see in the news portrayed as victims of "racism"? lol, yea... but it happens everyday, even in this very own thread.

If someone called me white trash in front of my family, I would ask them to be mature and considerate in front of my daughter. #1 priority would be safety and deescalating the situation. I would not lose a second of worry on his words as they mean nothing to me.

Again... if you only associate the word terrorist with Arabs...perhaps you should look inside yourself and find the issue. They are just words... words are meaningless unless you give them (and your verbal attacker) meaning.

Quote me. The use of a firearm is a serious and last resort. One I do not take lightly and hope never to have to fulfill. The fact that you bring in the option of using lethal force because someone calls you a name? Jesus.... you are off man

JonJon, as you are white, I do not expect this whole argument to compute in your head. No racism intended but you just wouldn't understand unless you are a person of color. To you, words like this mean nothing but if you were of foreign descent, words like that aren't pleasant. I agree with Bimmer330cibro, exactly what he said:

I'm Indian and I've had people call me a terrorist, even though it's not true it hurts. If someone called you a terrorist, you'd laugh because you know it's not true. It's apparent that you don't understand and I don't blame you. But your comments just come across as ignorant. Plain and simple

So why does it hurt you? Are you a terrorist?

Rethink your logic

I'm Irish and the IRA is classified as a terrorist group
I'm Italian and we have the Mob and Mafia.

I've never been called out as IRA but I hear hundreds of Mafia jokes every year and get called dego plenty of times.

Doesn't bother me.

Did you not read my post? Like I said, you are white, you just don't understand

It's something that affects people of color... I can't explain it

jonjon is a trigger happy redneck .... i know you're going to say it didn't bother you but have i said it out of nowhere i probably would of gotten a warning or ban even right?

White is a color... to be more specific, white is ALL colors combined

/mindfreak

And no, it doesnt affect all people of color, it affects those that allow harmful words to retain meaning.

It doesn't bother me because I'm white... Obviously I'm not allowed to be insulted

ok you win

As they say, ignorance is bliss

I guess?

There are plenty of Muslims and Blacks that put no value in harmful words.
In doing this... it completely takes away all power and insult from the racists that are attacking them.

Those are the people(failed victims) I cheer and look "up" to...

BREAKING NEWS: the world is unfair and filled with jackasses would will call you ugly names or even do unfair but not illegal things like following you around with a camera. You are not, I repeat NOT allowed to respond with force to such actions and you are far better off to show that you are a better man by walking away.

Who says we need to understand. Do you hear white people whining when some person of color calls them a cracker....no, you don't. They just brush it off and say oh well. Why don't you consider the same instead of allowing your tormentors to have psychological control over you? Or are you just that weak?

These days if someone were to say that to me it would have no effect. You give people the reaction they want and yeah. I'm just saying, those words hold so much hate when said towards a person of middle eastern descent. It's apparent that you fail to understand this over and over again so there's no point in continuing this. I don't blame you for not understanding because you literally can't understand

JonJon versus E46Fanatics, round 7.

fixed...

Nah, I'm out...

Reporter was very ignorant and should be fired (as I stated before)
Muslim man and son could be brought up on assault charges.

but to say that only non-whites can be victims or racism and whites will never know what it feels like is discrimination/racism against whites all in itself.

At the end of the day, we are all people. Jesus.... I hope I'm still alive when the color barriers that divide all of us are dissolved.

Whites are immune to derogatory speech? Since when? You attempt to prove your point with an assumption which you falsely claim to be true, a very convenient type of (improperly) arguing. Time to grow thicker skin if being called a terrorist "hurts" you. Your comments come off as narrow-minded.

blacks should go thicker skin if calling the N word hurts them...
