GED Section: We Need To Agree On The Definition Of Terrorism
If you vandalize a car, it’s an act of terrorism — anyone who understands what it means to be a terrorist is sure to agree with that statement. However, there’s been a bit of needle-moving recently if you look at it from today’s political point of view, especially if that car happens to be a Tesla.
In today’s note from the “GED Section,” D.L. Hughley breaks down the definition of terrorism and questions why we all can’t come to one unified answer on calling it what it is.

“I have no problem saying that if you vandalize something with the idea of making a political statement, or to cause fear, or panic, or destruction to have people see things your way and to will power that way — that is terrorism,” D.L. stated in his argument, further going on to pose the question, “Isn’t it interesting how you can say that it’s terror to vandalize a Tesla but it isn’t terror if you destroy The Capitol?”
He got even deeper into the subject when it came to calling the government out on showing so much praise throughout history to proven terrorists of Black and Brown people. It only takes one Google search on “racist monuments” to get an idea behind the corrupt backstories in the naming of many buildings and highways throughout America. “The people that’ve terrorized Black people are often memorialized in parks, money, holidays — almost everybody who has a statue in a park made of bronze did something horrible to Black people.” You think D.L. is making a point?
