Again, when a white redneck type refers to the Muslims as terrorists and eagerly says the word terrorist over and over with seething anger he is communicating something different from a history professor who simply uses the word terrorist to refer to the 9/11 hijackers.

They are both accurately labeling someone as a terrorist, but there is a difference in their eagerness and their level of emotion attached to it that communicates something different.

What about this do you not understand?

A white redneck referring to "the Muslims" as terrorists isn't accurately labeling someone as a terrorist. That's an example of someone using the word terrorist as if it applies to all Muslims.

A history professor using the word terrorists to refer to the 9/11 hijackers is an example of someone labeling specific people who committed terroristic acts as terrorists.
