      @unusr1 You're suggesting there are more people of Muslim descent in the US than white people? Are you sure? That surprises me.

      @emptywheel Deliberately obtuse. More whites in absolute numbers means more crime instances, even with a lower proportion of criminals.

      @unusr1 So you agree white terrorists are the bigger threat, but don't want to do anything about them? How about random gun violence?

      @emptywheel No - as you know, blacks have the highest rate of violent crime, but at least they came here honestly. Don't need to import more

      @unusr1 Well, convo started abt terrorism. Whites are biggest threat there per FBI. What do you mean by "blacks ... came here honestly"?

      @emptywheel I mean, they are a historical part of our country. We have enough problems without needlessly importing ME sectarian violence.

      @unusr1 No. You made a comment about how they came here. How did they come here?

      @emptywheel I believe their fellow Africans sold them into slavery, and Jewish traders sold them to American plantation owners. Correct?

      @unusr1 Let's pretend it happened like that for a moment. Would that make it "honest"? On whose part?

      @emptywheel On their part. They are not interlopers, unlike the Muslim Syrian draft dodgers you want to dump into the Christian heartland.

      @unusr1 I'm pretty sure I live in what you'd call the "Christian heartland." We've had Syrians here fore a long time.

          @emptywheel That's fabulous, good for you. Still doesn't justify importing their draft-dodging countrymen by the tens of thousands.

          @unusr1 "Importing" them? Pretty sure that's what a bunch of white men who didn't want to do their own labor did to slaves, no?

          @emptywheel I doubt plantation owners would have personally tilled the field. They wanted cheaper labor, much like today's immigration fans.

          @unusr1 OK, so lazy white men who got rich off of stolen labor. By the way, you know a significant proportion of slaves were Muslim?

          @emptywheel That's really what this is about for you, isn't it - white guilt? Remember: whites didn't start slavery, but they did end it.

          @unusr1 I'm more about pointing out to lazy whites that they have a really distorted sense of history of this country.

          @emptywheel Are you still living in the 60s? Whites have been brainwashed in schools and mass media for 2 generations to hate their own kind
