Woman Creates Registry For White Men (Until We Figure Out Whats Going On)
It’s funny — in a dark, sobering, sad way.
Amongst all of the talk about forcing Muslim immigrants to register in a national database, it seems we’ve forgotten who the actual threat to our safety really is: white men.
That’s right. Unlike Muslims in the U.S., white men are demonstrably more likely to commit a mass shooting than any other group and they are the majority of rape perpetrators. So in the spirit of registries, one Brooklyn-based woman, Candace Thompson, created a tongue-in-cheek registration form for members of this most dangerous demographic.
“Forget the nation of Islam, our most immediate threat to domestic security is and always has been white, straight men,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. “That is why I have decided to do my part as a Red Blooded Patriot by creating The White Male Registry. It is a simple google form complete with questions that will help identify just how much of a threat to American security any individual white male may pose to the general public.”

Hi:
I have felt inspired to start a little art project:
As you may or may not know, in America 57% of reported rapes(1) and 64% of mass shootings(2) were committed by white men. 45% of all serial killers are white men(3). 1 in 3 women will experience some form of domestic violence during their lifetime(4), and 97% of those domestic violence perpetrators were men(5).
According to a Newsweek article from earlier this year, Right Wing Extremists pose a greater threat to National security than ISIS(6), and in the past week alone The Southern Poverty Law Center has registered over 400 reports of hate crimes enacted in the name of the nationalist, racist, and sexist campaign rhetoric espoused by Donald J Trump(7). Every day, as shocking staff appointments and Muslim registry plans start to emerge from the President-Elect's transition team(8,9), one thing has become increasingly clear: the safety of American citizens-- all American citizens-- is in danger.
