Is being a terrorist tied to race, or is it tied to the actions of the terrorist?

Your whiteness doesn't make you any better or worse person what anyone else.

Guess you're unfamiliar with Miami's ports which could provide access for a dirty bomb and/or terrorists.

Sure sounds like you think the military is plotting against you and other white people.

I haven't seen such childishness in a long while.

lol, first off where did I mention race or my ethnic makeup, that is someone else's posts. Nope, don't think the military is plotting, most of them would refuse to attack American civilians (knowingly).

On the otherhand I am distrustful of the politicians who use the military.

Let me ask you the question directly.

Do you think that it would have been politically correct to conduct the exercise anywhere but downtown Miami?

You're being "baited" so you can be labeled.

I don't think the exercises had anything at all to do with being politically correct or not. YOU are the person who brought up political correctness of the exercises and specifically mentioned two communities in Miami-Dade which are predominately black.

"Political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct; both forms commonly abbreviated to PC) is a term which denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, certain other religions, beliefs or ideologies, disability, and age-related contexts, and, as purported by the term, doing so to an excessive extent. In current usage, the term is primarily pejorative,[1][2]"

Really? How about just trying to understand what this poster meant when he brought political correctness into the conversation and mentioned two predominately black communities in the Miami area?

Judging by your conduct in a host of other threads, you are just itching to catch yourself a racist. Here's a tip for ya, relax. As much as you want it to be true, not everyone with differing opinions from yourself is a racist.

Call off the witch hunt, sugar pie.

You are the one who mentioned that the communities are "predominately black" - I never said anything about the communities demographics.

Why that is such an issue for you is beyond me.
