They identified the shooter?

Because you don’t want to be sure. Perhaps it doesn’t make it less racist, it makes it more true?
One is not the other.
They were not “white” to the white people on the US. A least not when they first migrated here. However eventually they became “white” because they met the bar based on skin color.
When you start segregating based on darkness of skin, there is incentive to be on the good side of that. That’s the power of whiteness.
No, but what is interesting is conservatives seem to think they have that power right now. Which is interesting.
I haven’t seen anything but your comment lead me to believe they identified the shooter and the motive.

Yes they were, except to the English. Like I said. You’re going to need to sit this one out.
The whiteness of power.
Why is darkness of skin any worse than any other criteria? There is always incentive to be on the good side of any majority criteria.
Then what’s the end game?
Do they? Why? Who does?

What difference does the motive make?
You made the comment… 
Just say you are speculating and move on. It’s ok.

Quote where I mentioned motive.
I said, “I wonder…”
Probably a white supremacist with an AR.
They were othered when they go on this land… yes or no?
For the second time. I never said it was. It just is. I do think it’s the stupidest, biologically.
erode whiteness used as power.

By some.
Why? I never said it was it just is?
Erode majority power. I agree, although I use the actual term. And give it to whom?

No, as held by the majority, who happens to be white in this country.
You would be just as or more unhappy with your power share in Colombia, where white people are less than a fraction of a percent and have zero power.

Not the only one who can say it, but definitely one who will be defended and not called a racist for doing so.
And they used their whiteness as a measure of good vs bad.
Why didn’t they draw the line at men vs women? English speaking vs non English speaking? Height? Hair color?
There is a reason they chose their skin color… it’s something that can’t be changed and is easily identifiable from a distance. They chose the criteria the give them the most power. They CHOSE race. It wasn’t a coincidence.
You probably missed my more through post on “you are too black” vs “you aren’t black”.
But Biden insinuating that I’m “not black” is nothing new to me. I’ve heard it my whole life from white people. I’ve also heard I am being “too black.”

Power/no power, but ok, so what?
They did.
They did.
Debatable
Gingers are treated how?
Again, they didn’t chose it. It was a result of where they came from.
They chose the criteria the give them the most power.
Why on earth would anybody “choose” anything else? You’re doing the exact same thing.

What does that have to do with it being racist or not?
