    I don't like the word terrorism and would prefer that we talk about politically motivated violence but if anybody is terrorist, it's Roof.

        @heerjeet I’m not deeply invested in the word “terrorist,” but reluctance to use it in this case underlines US attitudes about race.

        Argument is terrorism requires more than 1 person, but that precludes lone wolf attackers inspired by ideology, which are called terrorist

        Concrete example: 2012 white supremacist killed 6 in Wisconsin Sikh temple. Acted alone but Holder called it "an act of terrorism"

        @tanehisicoates @HeerJeet though some are fond of the "violence against Christians" angle.

        @tanehisicoates @HeerJeet O'Reilly called it terrorism, said goal was 2 terrorize Blacks. BUT mocked those who say it's abt white supremacy.

        @tanehisicoates @HeerJeet Does this refer only to Fox or other outlets besides the right wing media? Expat here, low exposure to US TV.
