One Does Not Simply

Is it so easy to find what you are looking for when your scope is wide? How easy is it to get what you seek when your scope is narrow? Your focus needs more focus. You found the meme you thought was right only to misspell the caption. We've both missed the point.

The joke is that I didn't use the correct format either...

Ask the people getting beheaded if ISIS is "real"

Ask people who are getting jailed, choked out, shot, and killed if racism is real.

The number of people killed by ISIS dwarf anything you can put up compared to racism. In just the last three years as many as 170,000 people have been slaughtered. They burn people alive and film it. They have children cut off the heads of people and film it with glee. They behead women in the street if they drive a car. But you apparently don't even believe that ISIS is "real" ... Your comparison is moot. And pathetic.

The parody was not that Isis does not exist. The fact is that there is more anti-Isis propaganda than there is anti-racism sentiment.

The fact you call it "propaganda" tells me everything I need to know. Next up, Allahu Akbar?

Jailed for committing a crime. "Choked out" didn't happen -- dude died at the hospital from pre-existing heart problems after a choke hold was used to subdue him upon orders from a BLACK police sergeant, killed (assuming you're talking Ferguson, MO) after robbing a store and attacking a police officer. Was the church shooting racist? Yep. No doubt. But to say ISIS isn't real is an indication of living in a fantasy world.

Why can't our focus be on lives being lost at home AS WELL as abroad???

Perhaps you missed the 24/7 coverage of the thug in Ferguson, the criminal in New York, and the tragedy in Charleston. The difference is scale. Kill 170,000 people and threaten to kill or destroy the US and it kinda takes on a little more seriousness than someone using the n-word at Burger King.

Oh we didn't miss it. It's hard to miss the kind of terror that takes place right in our faces. Domestic terror has many forms. Louisianna, Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, etc. have all been in the news in the past 24 hours! It's in our face! But perhaps we should ignore the obvious and fight abroad? Good luck enlisting. Or are we just all talk?
