"Because the truth be told, White supremacy is not a mental health issue," Jones said on the House floor. "It is about terrorism, and the shooting that happened in Jacksonville, Florida, was not quote-unquote racially motivated. It was racial terrorism, and until we acknowledge that fact, until we act on that fact, it will continue to happen."

@StillIRise1963 These arent mutual exclusive... If someone wants to be a terrorist, that is a mental health issue. Anyone who behaves this way has mental health issues.
@freemo @StillIRise1963 In reality, terrorism and mental illness are completely unrelated social problems, and your conflating the two is both shockingly ableist,actively harmful to mentally ill people, and simultaneously lets terrorists off the hook by denying their own agency.
Nah, They arent just related, they are nearly 100% related.. if you are violent you are almost certainly mentally ill, regardless of diagnosis (in fact I'd say the vast majority of mentally ill people dont have a formal diagnosis and may never get one).
The relationship is one way though. While being violent virtually garuntees mental illness, being mentally ill is not suggested of violence.
@freemo @sidereal @StillIRise1963 shut. Up. You. Nazi-Enabling. Fucker.
