'White men'

Since the Las Vegas shooting I am noticing a disturbing trend where people in the liberal media and elsewhere are collectively demonising a group of people based on the colour of their skin. This group is 'white men'.

I'm not sure what the whiteness of a persons' skin has to do with their character. Dr Martin Luthor King would be appalled.  If anyone referred to any other group in a negative light i.e 'black women', or 'brown people' they would probably end up being fired (or worse).

I see these groups saying that if this was an Islamic terror attack, all Muslims would be demonised. This is a false equivalence. Islam is not a race, it's a set of (really bad) ideas. ISIS read and refer to the same texts as moderate muslims. Bad ideas can be criticised. Most importantly though, Muslims can be any colour. Just as communists, Christians and fascists can be.

I can't believe the liberal media don't see the double standard, and dangerous people like Jared Taylor are just waiting for enough people to fall for the identity politics to build a political platform based on 'race realism'. He claims he is not a white supremacist. But read his work, he considers black people akin to a different species.

We can't let this happen. We saw the results of this over 70 years ago. Wake up.

While I somewhat agree with the general sentiment, I feel that it is part of a much broader issue of overgeneralization, compartimentalization, which you contribute to by specifically associating the problem to liberals.
