false positives are far less risky, and more readily correctable, than false negatives.
It's the same thing. Or not, depending on one's definition of racism, which is a term that has been misused, or over-used, in the past several years. So much so that racism has lost its meaning.It's not enough 'not to be racist (fascist)'; you're either anti-racist (anti-fascist) — 180 Proof
Confused you with another "white guy". — 180 Proof
So typical.I'm not a white guy asshole — frank

A disingenuous and otherwise useless platitude. Predation and defense are not the two sides of the same coin. They are different. The real question is where justice lies. Obfuscate this and you are the enemy. Or would you say that among the murderers there are fine people?Both sides have blood on their hands. — Harry Hindu
e.g. Both Allied & German forces at Normandy on D-Day 1944 had blood on their hands.Both sides have blood on their hands. — Harry Hindu

There’s probably a difference between poetic and comedic expression and protesting police brutality on the one side and mindless insurrection on the other. — praxis

e.g. Both ante bellum Abolitionists & Slave Owners, like post bellum militant Freedmen & Klansmen, had blood on their hands.
e.g. Both strikers and strike-breaker police at the Haymarket Riot 1889 had blood on their hands.

Drawing false equivalences where there aren't any, Hindu, is ahistorical demogoguery as well as the (second? to) last refuge of moral cowardice. :shade: — 180 Proof

I agree that there is, it's just that I'm not biased to think that only one side engages in poetic and comedic expression, while the other engages in hate and oppression. Both sides have hateful oppressors and poets and comedians, but you are only capable of seeing the world through your prism of politics. — Harry Hindu

Just exposing you again, Harry, not trying to persuade.I have no idea what your point is in showing these examples. — Harry Hindu

Consider the excerpts below from an authoritative expert testimony concerning the 6th of January attack on the US Capitol.↪180 Proof
That your characterization of the event is wrong. — frank
That attack, that siege, was criminal behavior, plain and simple. It was behavior that we, the FBI, view as domestic terrorism.
The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it’s not going away anytime soon.
Although I don’t have the percentage for you, the attackers on January 6th included a number — and the number keeps growing as we build out our investigations — of what we would call militia, violent extremism. And we have had some already arrested who we would put in the category of racially motivated violent extremism [ ... ] Those would be the categories so far that we’re seeing as far as January 6th.
I would certainly say, as I think I’ve said consistently in the past, that racially motivated violent extremism, specifically of the sort that advocates for the superiority of the white race, is a persistent, evolving threat. It’s the biggest chunk of our racially motivated violent extremism cases for sure. And racially motivated violent extremism is the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism portfolio, if you will, overall.
I've been sounding the alarm about domestic terrorism since, I think, just about my first month on the job when I first started appearing up on the Hill, and I've spoken about it, and in maybe a dozen different congressional hearings. So whenever we've had the chance, we've tried to emphasize this is a top concern and remains so for the FBI. — FBI Director Wray, senate testimony 3.2.21
