It’s interesting how you, as a white American, can feel so personally threatened by terrorist attacks on other people who just so happen to look like you to the extent of demanding the government go to great lengths to extinguish such threats, yet at the same time not be able to understand how we, as people of color, feel personally threatened by racist attacks on people who look like us, and demand a government competent enough to similarly pursue extinguishing such threats.
