Well now let's slow down. Don't want to violate any rights.
I mean even think about it for second, the Jan 6 conspirators have it in their mind they're doing what it takes for their country, formalities be damned.
Sound like any other organizations you know?
- samhw 5y agoI suspect you're probably right about this. I'm not suggesting that the people in those positions are impassioned white supremacists or anything like that - they may well be liberals or even anti-racists, but still retaining an unconscious expectation that white people are less likely to commit violent crimes. (Which is statistically true, after all, albeit obviously not due to any intrinsic qualities of either group.)
- BoorishBears 5y agoWith few exceptions like people flying in on private jets hoping to grow their own causes, the Jan 6 protestors and people who identified with them were poorly educated whites from low-income backgrounds Poverty precipitates violent crime across skin colors: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J134v09n03_03?journalCode=wpov20 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J134v09n03_03?jo... The FBI definitely knew these were people liable to make good on their threats lol. - What your disturbingly often quoted factoid is mostly reflecting is that white people have a higher median income than blacks, which is no surprise in the country that destroyed black neighborhoods for basic infrastructure, denied them access to the economy during the greatest periods of growth it ever saw, denied them loans until that was made illegal... well in the 70s. The FBI knows better than that.
