How is that racist?



Anonbanker doesn't know who Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. So, if you think it's just some made up name it does come across as racist.


DanBC speaks truth, and I stand with egg on my face for playing the racism card, when it turned out I was actually the racist one for assuming the name was a joke.


Yeah, it's the name of the leader of Islamic State. That NSA and CIA are competing to kill him is just a statement of fact (which he'd gladly repeat if asked); it's not particularly racist, and doesn't even say anything about agreeing with the targeting decision.
