189994, terrorism creates irrational fear.
Posted by Mike Jackson, Fri Jul-24-15 07:48 AM
that's the point of terrorism.
you don't try to kill everybody.

you use a series of random attacks that keep everybody on edge, to the point where they no longer feel comfortable in their own environment.

remember how white ppl got scared after 9/11?

even though the odds of them dying in a terrorists attack were 0?

same principle.



I agree that we could do better at processing that fear.

but dismissing it because the fear is irrational overlooks the fact that Black folks
are dealing with the psychological affects of terrorism.


I am sure you can phrase your point in a less inflamatory way, if you try.


do you want to edit your OP?

we can start this conversation off in a better way.
