5. Oklahoma City bombing killed 168

So, essentially, they have an "Oklahoma City" in Baghdad every fucking weekend. Think on that. Every fucking weekend, and sometimes twice a week. Oklahoma City.

The distinction between the way our news media covered Oklahoma City and the way they cover these bombings should tell you all we need to know about racism, chauvinism, and American exceptionalism.

Colonialism never died.
