Anyway, for someone who apparently has a degree in Law you should be familiar with the fine points and semantics. "If fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country..." was the leading line to the profiling statement. She wasn't justifying or suggesting it should be done, she was saying that IF laws were based on fear then they should be profiling any demographic that has launched a terrorist attack in the USA. Which, as it stands, in recent years is mostly white males.

ILoveYourVibes wrote: » She did. I heard it myself. If we let fear be the deciding factor we have more to fear from white men and we should be racially profiling them etc etc.I don't agree with racially profiling Asians. I don't think however its accurate to suggest white nationalism in the states is on par with Islamic extremism around the world. It doesn't mean we racially profile Islamic men or anyone. But its not only grossly negligent in security but really reveals a strange upside down view of supposed threats. 'White men kill most people in this country' ? I think she is forgetting 9/11.

It's very odd for legitimate posters on an Irish website (and presumably Irish) rushing to call someone critical of Israel and, in particular, sections of extreme Zionists and the lobby of Zionists in the USA an anti-Semite when such views are widely held in this country vis-a-vis Palestine.

She said most people in the US are killed by white men. As if this means something its a white majority country. Most people in Saudi Arabia are killed by Saudi Arabians. She thinks white men are a greater threat than Islamic terrorism. It would be like me saying in NI I fear islamic terrorism more than the IRA.
