Why is America So Reluctant to Call These Murders White Terrorism?

Once again, the Black community is grieving because of lives lost from a racist attack. Yesterday, on Saturday, August 26th, a young White man, Ryan Palmeter, armed with an AR-15 style rifle and handgun, opened fire in a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida, killing three Black people, two men and one woman. All the signs pointed to this being an act of white terrorism, yet you are unlikely to hear anyone use that terminology in describing the events that happened. Unfortunately, there is a reluctance to define crimes, no matter how heinous, as acts of terror when the suspects are White, even though that's clearly the intent behind the violence. Are we not human, do we not bleed? Are we not capable of being terrorized? Black people will never be safe in a nation in denial about the dangers they face. <a href="https://allyfromnola.medium.com/why-is-america-so-reluctant-to-call-these-murders-white-terrorism-33d930023749">Website</a>
