You probably have heard. There are 100+ white terrorists in Oregon occupying a federal building, all in the name of standing in solidarity for two men in prison, convicted of arson over cattle-grazing rights. C
#OregonUnderAttack has been a trending topic, and it has highlighted the disparity in the reporting done by news agencies such as ABC and CNN. Not once was the word “terrorist” used to reference these crazed white folk in Oregon. (Imagine if they were black and this was a post office in Chicago…) But Twitter made light of the nonsense and came up with good names for them;
#YallQaeda
#VanillaIsis
#ShaniaLaw
Such pun-tastic perfection. This will undoubtedly end badly, but social media has responded to the nutty terrorist action by mocking with their usual blistering gallows humor.
