Only a Liberal Could Come Up with Such a Dreadful Analysis of the 9/11 Attacks

I really don’t know what to say about this one. How dense do you have to be? How far does one have to go to come up with stuff like this about the 9/11 terror attacks? Today is the 20th anniversary of that heinous day. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives when radical Islamic terrorists hijacked airliners and crashed them into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. United 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers tried to overpower the hijackers. The 9/11 Commission concluded that if these passengers didn’t take action, United 93’s likely target would have been the U.S. Capitol. These passengers were heroes. There were many more that day as well. There are tales of unbridled heroism from first responders and ordinary Americans on that dreadful day. These actions helped saved thousands of lives. It was a day where this country showed the world that we will unite. We will endure. We will honor our dead, celebrate their lives, and their sacrifice. It is not the time to talk about how white people don’t know what terror is and other pseudo-intellectual lectures about racial politics.
Yeah, Jenn Jackson, a Teen Vogue columnist, went down this route. It’s sad because on this issue, I know there are level-headed Democrats who would also roll their eyes. Politics and race weren’t really dwelled on concerning the fatalities of this terrorist attack. Yet somehow this woman threaded that needle.
“White Americans might not have really felt true fear before 9/11 because they never felt what it meant to be accessible, vulnerable, and on the receiving side of military violence at home. But, white Americans' experiences are not a stand-in for ‘America,’” she wrote.
