        @rezaaslan the disagree/agree goes right down political lines. That should be a hint that it was, in fact, politically motivated

        @rezaaslan what they're really trying to say is that black lives are not as valuable as white lives. Terrorism is only reserved for whites

        @MaryStGeorge @rezaaslan Terrorism & hate crimes work by making the wider group a target/victim as well as those that are directed impacted.

        @homecomeexpat @rezaaslan However, my point is that terrorism is about terror, not about race. Rhetorical question.

        @MaryStGeorge @rezaaslan And yet being white seemingly absolves one from accusations of terrorism. Hence, race very pertinent.
