    PETA became terrorist when they began throwing paint on people's fur coats.

    I personally think the SPLC is more "terrorist" then PETA.

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but I AM going off of what I've been reading and clearly you're bias is in favor of black supremacy groups when you should be frowning on all hate groups.

    I'm pretty sure I mentioned that earlier, among other reasons people wouldn't want them.

    Black supremacy? That's an interesting choice of words since I've never advocated for black supremacy anywhere, ever.

    Can't say to date I've seen much in the way of support for you assertion, so I shall eagerly await a demonstration of this obviously new found skill.

    Cute. Anyway I've never advocated for it so I can't show bias towards it.

    It could be considered a form of terrorism. While no where near the level of the KKK is is still using intimidation and violence for political purposes. Sure it's not beating someone but iit is still assault.

    Wouldn't throwing paint on someone's coat be closer to vandalism?

    I also said ones who lose. Guarantee we wouldn't say much of Washington if the Revolution had failed.

    If the person wasn't wearing it or holding it, sure. If they are wearing it or holding it, throwing paint on the coat means throwing paint on the person. That's assault.

    Vandalism could also be seen as intimidation. If done for political reasons it could also be called a form of terrorism. An easy test would be if someone painted "I hate (insert racial slur), move out (racial slur)" across your garage door.
    Is it terrorism?

    A good example would be Steven Colbert telling his anti-Trump crowd the news about Comey being fired and they all cheered. Then he told them they wren't supposed to cheer so they all boo'd.

    People who refer to the NRA as a terrorist organization cannot be taken seriously.

    On a scale of 1 - 10 I'd put a concerted effort to throw paint on fur coats around where an event like 9/11 would be a 10. It's called eco-terrorism.

    From Wikipedia
    The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation defines eco-terrorism as "...the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."

    Agreed. Unfortunately you will not convince the
    It Was All About Slavery crowd.

    It was economic too as the nation's wealth concentrated in the north.
    It was about loyalty to one's State over the Federals as Robert E. Lee demonstrated.

    Slavery was a dying institution that would have been replaced by Yankee style
    labor exploitation. If they didn't own their labor, they were not responsible for labor's welfare.
    They would have found it more profitable to pay a wages for work, too sick to work - no wages. Combined with "the company store", cheap labor would have proven more profitable than slavery.
