Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

I knew you would cite that table- it has been a white power stalking horse for a long time now.
While the raw data is valid, the interpretation is subject to different results.
Here is an in depth analysis by Reuters that presents a very different view.

VERDICT
Misleading. The numbers presented in this graph are misleading and do not accurately represent the FBI data from which they originated.

Now we're questioning FBI stats? Lord help us all.

And you threw in the white power tag? Nice touch.

BTW, I cited 2018 stats and homicides committed by blacks, regardless of the victim's race. Interracial crime stats do get a bit more interesting, don't they?

The stats are valid, if you read the article you will see that the graph derived from those stats can be viewed in a much different light.
It is in fact widely used as a dog whistle by supremacists, thus the Reuters fact check- I think a fairly neutral organization.
Interracial crime stats do get a bit more interesting, don't they?
Those who live there would know better than I, having spent perhaps 4 years total there since 1972.
It is a country like no other- reliant on immigrants, ill educated whites and blacks for cheap labor, and intent on keeping them as an illiterate subclass.

So the FBI stats are called into question?

Again, we are talking apples and oranges here.

Exactly the phrase used in the article as the point of the critique.

The whole Antifa panic is a phoney straw dog. IMO.
The word itself was only resurrected from oblivion in 2017.

The real Antifa are a tiny minority of extremists, but the Trumpians are trying to conflate that with the whole progressive social movement - because they fear it so much.
This frenzy is profoundly anti-democratic, it seeks to portray a whole section of normal civil society as criminals.

If it was so dangerous, how come the FBI et al had never even heard of it until 2 and a half years ago.
If you really do think these few extremists pose an existential threat to the USA you have a lower opinion of the strength of American society than most rational people.
Except the easily brain washed..

Not saying these various tiny unrelated extremist splinter groups, and a bunch of solo crazies, do not exist on the far far Left. They do. (but many more on the Right)
But there sure ain't no great big underground armies all coordinated into secret cells that emerge from the shadows as one. < bad trip bullshit.

(nb imo, only)

Speaking of which, the Red Rye Finish has a nice, creamy vanilla palate with a mildly sweet finish.
