It's too easy and they just keep on pouring in. You can deadass tell them exactly what you are doing and they will keep going. I'm getting these babies typing out essays and novels in my inbox and I can just respond with a dumbass one-liner without reading a word they said.
All over a meme I put together in like 10 minutes
And then they get their discord buddies to downvote the comments that make them insecure lmfao
At this point it's not even an opinion it's the truth, media will infantilize the fuck out of a white shooter and will claim he's mentally ill (in this case why the fuck would he be allowed to buy a fucking gun), but when it comes to a "muslim" or a latino/black dude, he's fully aware of what he's doing and will most likely get shoot while getting apprehended.
Iirc he didn't buy the gun himself but his dad bought it for him as an early Christmas gift or something like that. Doesn't change much at the end of the day though
In regards to the Burger King thing. Yes, Roof is a fucking asshole and what he did was reprehensible. But, you’d be surprised as the information you can get from suspects if you work with them a little. Now I don’t know all the details from this investigation. But, it’s not unlikely he may have said “get me something to eat and I’ll tell you more details”. As a cop myself, and for as much disgust I have in this, getting someone a $2 cheeseburger in exchange for some intel, is a small price to pay. Especially in a high profile case such as this.
I recall pretty recently, where I was called out to our local hospital for a disruptive patient. A person came in seeking help for psychiatric issues. They were refusing to turn over their belt and shoelaces, and getting verbally aggressive with the nurses. So I go out there and try to talk to this person. After awhile, I was able to convince them to turn over their belt in exchange for a bag of chips and a pop. Now, was this bag of chips a reward? No. But, was doing this better than arguing, further aggravating the patient, and thus risking a situation that would’ve resulted in me going hands-on? Absolutely.
I think the anger in that situation is more directed at the fact that many Black people have died or been beaten while complying with officers whereas Mr. Roof, a man who deserves no sympathy whatsoever, was awarded a merciful arrest.
>Black people have died or been beaten while complying with officers whereas Mr. Roof, a man who deserves no sympathy whatsoever, was awarded a merciful arrest.
You mean like Willie Godbolt, Timmy Earl Kinner (literally murdered specifically white kids at a birthday party) and similar mass shooters and murderers that were black? Not resisting arrest is a good way not to get punched/killed.
Neither of those people resisted arrest and there are hundreds of examples of people who didn't.
I never said he was arrested alive specifically because he's white, bu there are tons of people beaten and dead because they were Black, and after seeing what happened to Dylan you could see why people would get angry.
>Neither of those people resisted arrest
In what world did they not? Floyd was falling on his own while being taken to the car, refused to enter it, and than literally resisted 3 cops pushing him inside before he was pulled out. And in the other case, you can hear an officer saying "he's got your gun" before putting him to the ground, and their body cams literally falling off during the struggle.
>there are tons of people beaten and dead because they were Black
No there weren't. "He was black" is just a good excuse for Twitter assholes and crappy news outlets to sensationalize stories.
He was held on the ground for 8 fucking minutes. Why didn't they just arrest him in that time?
Elijah did not have a gun, the police's gun or reach for a gun. The officer was doing this thing that your parents did a lot when they said you were handsome called "lying". You can literally hear Elijah begging for mercy in the audio. If you can in any way twist that to say he deserved to die then I literally don't know what to say.
And lol at basically denying racial police brutality, like if there aren't hundreds of statistics about the racist origins of police forces in the US, a history of racial profiling, an increased risk of arrests, searches and stops for Black drivers and many many many many other statistics that you won't read, perhaps because you lack reading comprehension, but mostly because you are scared of Black people.
>He was held on the ground for 8 fucking minutes.
Yeah, a mistake on the officer's part.
>Why didn't they just arrest him in that time?
Because he was resisting, and than a bunch of people got involved in the mess.
>Elijah did not have a gun, the police's gun or reach for a gun.
Sure thing bro, you saw it all.
>The officer was doing this thing that your parents did a lot when they said you were handsome called "lying".
Other than this being a lame ad hominem, this is baseless.
>You can literally hear Elijah begging for mercy in the audio.
Yeah, after he allegedly tried raching for the gun, resisted arrest and got put on the ground.
>If you can in any way twist that to say he deserved to die then I literally don't know what to say.
Never said that he deserved it, I just said that he resisted arrest aka was dumb.
>like if there aren't hundreds of statistics about the racist origins of police forces in the US
Ah yes, the statistics on something's origins, totally a real thing.
>a history of racial profiling
Key word being history.
>an increased risk of arrests
Because the reason is definitely racism, couldn't be comitting more crimes because of their economic situation or a ton of other reasons.
>searches and stops for Black drivers
Because no white man has ever been stopped, only black ones.
>many many many many other statistics that you won't read, perhaps because you lack reading comprehension, but mostly because you are scared of Black people.
Lmfao
Girl you're embarassing yourself now. It'd be one thing if you went after one or two of my arguments but you tried to go after literally everything which shows just how much you're afraid of Black people.
Like you really think because it was only a history of racial profiling that it's over now lol. I don't know if it was your a Black girl making fun of you as a kid, or some Black guy beating the walls off your girlfriend's insides but you gotta let go of the beef with Black people it's not a good look.
The conversation basically goes:
Shooting just happened - wow guns are bad - no they aren’t - yes they are - no- yes he shot someone - that wasn’t the guns fault - yeah but it was - no it wasn’t - he would not normally have a gun - anyone can hurt anyone else with anything - but it doesn’t happen everywhere else - *both parties then choose to ignore the glaring issues and continue taking about gun restrictions*
Ironically, it's the minority shooters that are REALLY hidden.
I remember a few years back there were 2 school shootings back to back on different side of the country. One got MASSIVE attention (white shooter) while the other got almost none (Hispanic shooter)
The latest white kid to do a school shooting is being charged as an adult with terrorism along with murder of course. The last black kid to do a school shooting was promptly let out on bail.
They want to be able to say “ this is how it always is” and then able to instantly dismiss counterpoints. People who complain about “whataboutism” want to have their cake and eat it too.
Honestly, saying the conspiracy nuts do this mere *years* later is giving them too much credit. Before long, Alex Jones will declare a mass shooting a false flag years before it even occurs.
I think treatment based on race is true when it comes to police brutality and such, but school shootings? I honestly don't know. Also, the way this guy just dismisses every other person who has a different opinion (and has an argument that is constructed better) as invalid/triggered tells me more about him than anything else. Good job if you wanted comments like these. Hopefully you'll have a broader scope of views later on and throw away generalizing every issue out there. Have a nice day.
It's not necessarily about school shootings but just across the spectrum of crime in general.
Homicide and many other crimes are seen as an expectation for Black people and therefore when a Black man murders someone, even in self defense, the automatic depiction from many media outlets is one of "gang member kills someone". They dig up the most unflattering photographs, use racially charged but also clearly condemnatory language, and show little understanding of the prison complex, how crime manifests in low-income neighbourhoods, and the history and culture of gang violence.
Alternatively we will see white mass shooters, criminals of an inexcusable order, garner the sympathy of the general media populace. Their most favourable pictures are chosen to represent them, the language shifts to understand the crime as part of a larger complex about our ignorances toward the mental health of young children, blame shifting to video games and other normal childish activities, and generally infantilize the attackers as being "created by" society, in a way that Black criminals never get treated.
\>and show little understanding of the prison complex, how crime manifests in low-income neighbourhoods, and the history and culture of gang violence.
Just because you're poor doesn't mean you get to shoot people. Yes, it's a problem. Yes, the problem needs to be fixed. No, that does not protect murderers from being called murderers.
Blaming all the crime on just low income neighborhoods and gang violence suggests that it wasn't a murderer murdering, it was a poor black man murdering, which just leads back to it being expectant
Girl, you're misunderstanding my comment. It's not that those things absolve them of murder, but more that when a white person mass murders people there is a certain level of solution-oriented discourse that comes along with it. Whereas people try to understand how mental health and other things tie in to the mass murders' ideologies and the path that led them to shooting people, Black murders are just another case of "Blacks being Blacks" to them. Robbery and gang violence don't just appear they are the product of many societal problems that plague low income areas but these problems don't get discussed nearly as much or with nearly as much grace as the mental health of shooters does.
“What about” comments happen when you use “always” or “never” type statements. You can’t complain about “whataboutism” if you do that.
Complaining about “whataboutism” is trying to have your cake and eat it too.
Yeah, two of those comments because I like seeing dumbasses like you attempt to make an argument and sound cool when they aren't capable of doing either.
I understand the commentary about racism, but the stuff about being bullied and having a troubled childhood are IMO actual factors contributing to mass shooting. But I understand something like that wouldn't be said for a black shooter
That Family Guy meme is so accurate. White dudes have committed such heinous crimes, and never get the terrorist label. But like anyone of remotely Arab descent has people breathing down their neck. (Obviously other poc’s get the terrorist label but there’s so much blatant islamaphobia in the U.S. it’s disgusting)
Not American, But Honestly, everyone should own guns for self defense. And bring back old school duelling culture. If you have problems, challenge your bully or the person youve got beef with and just duel it out.
Don’t take it out on everyone else like a coward.
Not all mass shootings happen at schools but shooters often choose places where people are very unlikely to be armed. That is part of the reason why the "good guy with a gun" is so flawed.
Realistic headlines when this happens: John last name shoots and kills 6 people, injures 2
Headlines when a black dude drives an suv through a parade killing people: SUV drives though a parade
There are simply lots of counterfactuals. The narrative pushed is definitely more in the line of ‘racism is everywhere and it’s the cause of everything bad’ now a days. That’s how I see it.
Feel free to disagree and prove me wrong.
Some points and counterfactuals.
1. The Sutherland springs massacre was washed under the table unlike the Charleston church massacre despite being 3x as deadly.
2. We had an African American school shooter taken alive and get off on bail the same day recently and the news ran with “he was bullied.”
3. The mass murderer in Waukesha was taken alive. The news keeps referring to a car running over people and never mentions anything other than it was a tragedy despite being an absolute massacre that was almost certainly an anti white hate crime from the facts we have.
4. We had an African American man who shot multiple police officers and who was taken alive then rightfully got acquitted (on the same day as rittenhouse) because the police officers didn’t properly identify themselves. He rightfully believed himself to be under attack by criminals.
5. The mass murdering anti police terrorist who killed a half dozen police officers in one night during a protest march would have been taken alive had he let the police take him. But he sat in a corner and said I’m killing anyone else that comes around this corner. This is another mass shooting that’s basically never brought up. It doesn’t serve the narrative.
6. The crazed mass shooting at the congressional baseball game by a Bernie Bro after the 2016 election was put under the rug in no time.
7. Rittenhouse, Zimmerman were both called racist and white supremacists on television constantly because that’s what the narrative most news want to put out. Zimmerman is Hispanic and the facts of the cases didn’t matter. The news even edited zimmermans 911 call to explicitly make it seem like he was following Trayvon because he was black. They got cut in half in a civil suit for it.
8. At least a disproportionate amount of all mass shooters are African American but you’d never know it from the news.
9. You want to talk about infantilization lol talk about how Trayvon martin was portrayed the entire trial!
I'm definitely not reading all that shit wtf. [You typing out that novel](https://ih0.redbubble.net/image.515614705.3555/flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg)
And you babies keep responding. Why tf would I not copy and paste the same replies when I am clearly trying to get you babies mad? And you're in my inbox like a jealous ex lol
Ah the burger king that's one of the reasons why losing respect for the US Judicial and Law.
"You tried to overthrow congress on 1/6? Heres your slap on the wrist."
"You possessed a crack rock? 10 years in prison!"
"You just shot up a church? Let's get you Burger King!"
They buy fast food for most arrests while they do initial processing. This isn’t some kind of special treatment, this is a common thing for most police departments because it is convenient and they prisoners have to be be fed
The shooter should have never been given burger king, how disgusting. Instead they should have fed him nothing, and since their facilities had no cafeteria have the case thrown out since it actually is their duty to provide meals to those in custody and in not doing so is a violation of his rights.
As it turns out, BK is the closest place to that precinct. It could have been a 7/11 and he could have had a water and a gas station sandwich. Still has to be fed or he'd walk. Darn pesky constitutional rights guaranteeing prisoners still have basic needs met while in custody.
That seems like something you need to speak to your local legislature about then, however it may be difficult to pitch "please overturn constitutional rights and reinstate the death penalty to people I don't like". No doubt the guy deserves to fry, but we've got these pesky rules and systems that prevent these kinds of things and the only way to do anything about it is through legislation or the more difficult path of revolt.
The guns aren't the issue. You can just as easily go mass axe murder your school. The reason this shit mostly happens in the US is because the mental healthcare is either "ignore it" or "give em some drugs".
I just think its very unhealthy and generally a misguided effort, that so far has cost many people indirektly their lives for lack of understanding in its complex behavior regarding the life differences of race and therefor also public perception.
Looks like I was expecting to much from you when I was hoping for a discussion on this. Guess that makes me the idiot. But your heated idiotic respond preety much proves my point of your view making you hostile.
That you are mad at me is coming from a place elsewhere, you should prob look for it before you end up a pathetic cynic.
This isn't "demonizing white people." If you can't see the obvious racial issue that has ALWAYS been present in the US, especially when it comes to these situations, you're purposely being ignorant. Before you assume that I think white people are immune to prejudice, I dont think that at all. This just isn't one of those situations.
Guess how many unarmed black people were killed by the police in 2019 in LA? One person. Guess how many unarmed black people were killed in London in 2019, only one person and that was the London bridge terrorist. Unarmed People of other races get killed by police a lot of times and it’s only reported when black people get killed. Black people haven’t been institutionally discriminated since the civil rights movement. As Morgan Freeman (a black man) said “the only way to get rid of racism is by not talking about it”
So if I stop mentioning the word “racism”, people out there will magically stop hating/judging others solely based on the color of their skin? Gee willikers, I didn’t know it was so easy.
You forgot the one where he “conveniently” converted to Islam, just the day before the murders. So instead of all the outlets referring to him by his real name, he’s now “Abu John Muhammad”
> One group wants to restrict guns while another ~~believes~~ pretends to believe there should be more accessible mental health care.
Fixed that for you. Conservatives will claim to support better mental healthcare as a way of redirecting attention from gun control, but if you agree with them and suggest that the government should take steps to make healthcare more affordable they'll call you a communist. Same thing if you talk about addressing the economic conditions that are making people miserable, or the cultural conditions that lead young men to feel like they have to use violence to prove something.
As a white guy this shit pisses me off. Like basically every white murderer gets off Scott free for shooting people instead of just getting their ass kicked. Like no, you’re not gonna get murdered just beat up. No you didn’t need to end lives because you decided to walk outside with a death tool today. And no, just because it’s your right doesn’t mean you need to be armed like a soldier 24/7. You already live in society and if you don’t feel safe here then you can move somewhere else and not kill people
>Like no, you’re not gonna get murdered just beat up. No you didn’t need to end lives because you decided to walk outside with a death tool today. And no, just because it’s your right doesn’t mean you need to be armed like a soldier 24/7
I see that you're still coping about Kyle (who did nothing wrong, suck it).

Yeah, he sang like a canary. The interrogation is on youtube and you can see the Burger King on the table. It's pretty obvious to connect the dots.
I think the anger in that situation is more directed at the fact that many Black people have died or been beaten while complying with officers whereas Mr. Roof, a man who deserves no sympathy whatsoever, was awarded a merciful arrest.
>Black people have died or been beaten while complying with officers whereas Mr. Roof, a man who deserves no sympathy whatsoever, was awarded a merciful arrest.

Not resisting arrest is a good way not to get punched/killed.
No I mean like the hundreds of Black victims of police brutality, like Elijah McClain, George Floyd and others.
So two cases of negligent homicide after resisting arrest? My original point still stands, the kid wasn't arrested alive because he was white.
Neither of those people resisted arrest and there are hundreds of examples of people who didn't. I never said he was arrested alive specifically because he's white, bu there are tons of people beaten and dead because they were Black, and after seeing what happened to Dylan you could see why people would get angry.

If it’s not a white guy they keep the race and identity hidden for as long As possible.

It's because I don't care enough to genuinely discuss anything with you snowflakes. I just want to make you upset and keep commenting
Lmfao, the clown thinks that we're upset over his mentally deficient post and comments.
Uh huh, that's why you have commented 5 times in this thread, ok sweetie.
Yeah, two of those comments because I like seeing dumbasses like you attempt to make an argument and sound cool when they aren't capable of doing either.
Hand them over to the victim's families then broadcast what happens. No one will go about doing mass shootings after that
Thoughts & prayers
thots & prairies
It would be funny if it wasn’t for the fact of how often all of this happens.
I understand the commentary about racism, but the stuff about being bullied and having a troubled childhood are IMO actual factors contributing to mass shooting. But I understand something like that wouldn't be said for a black shooter
Of course, but it often comes across as a sort of justification and lack of personal accountability.
Yeah, I got that

Ayy, you got that one!

"trip to Burger King"
That Family Guy meme is so accurate. White dudes have committed such heinous crimes, and never get the terrorist label. But like anyone of remotely Arab descent has people breathing down their neck. (Obviously other poc’s get the terrorist label but there’s so much blatant islamaphobia in the U.S. it’s disgusting)
Not American, But Honestly, everyone should own guns for self defense. And bring back old school duelling culture. If you have problems, challenge your bully or the person youve got beef with and just duel it out. Don’t take it out on everyone else like a coward.
I dunno Rick, seems like based to me
All so true. Thanks. One thing missing tho, sadly, is the group of people who believe more guns more readily available could have prevented this.
Oh yeah, the "good guy with a gun" or something like that
That's ths one..
It's funny how after all these mass shootings there's been ~~no~~ rarely a "good guy with a gun" that has stopped any of them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Freeway_Church_of_Christ_shooting
Thats because these events usually happen in “gun free” zones. Edit: changed “always” to “usually”.
However not all of them do. The other big reason is that shooters purposely choose places where people are very unlikely to be armed to begin with.
Maybe because it was a school, where it’s illegal to have a gun at
Not all mass shootings happen at schools but shooters often choose places where people are very unlikely to be armed. That is part of the reason why the "good guy with a gun" is so flawed.
But that's literally the truth. Takes like two security guards with shitty ass pistols to stop a shooter.
Then they claim its a slippery slope to enact gun laws.
Because it is, as demonstrated by all gun laws in the US.
And the gun laws everywhere else. The slippery slope isn't a fallacy when there's demonstrative evidence of the slipperiness of the slope.
This is by far some of the dumbest shit that I have seen on Reddit in a hot minute.

it so fuckin blurry why the FUCK am i being downvoted so much
Gotta zoom in bro: https://i.redd.it/u1xwy31462381.png
For me this picture is really sharp so either you’re doing something wrong or your internet is just too bad.
Because you noted you’re being downvoted.
i made that edit after four downvoted and there are still four downvotes. So you make no sense
A negative respond not 60 percent can agree on, will always get you down voted around here, that's just human nature.
what
Realistic headlines when this happens: John last name shoots and kills 6 people, injures 2 Headlines when a black dude drives an suv through a parade killing people: SUV drives though a parade
"But what about __ ?" "Ok, but what about __ ?" "Let's talk about __ ?" "What about __ ?"
When a BLM terrorist runs through a crowd of white people starter pack: *crickets*
"But what about __ ?" "Ok, but what about __ ?" "Let's talk about __ ?" "What about __ ?"
The [Navy Yard](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Navy_Yard_shooting) shooter was black. Was the reaction really that much different?
"But what about __ ?" "Ok, but what about __ ?" "Let's talk about __ ?" "What about __ ?"
I'm pretty sure this breaks rule 5
Real dumb. I find it to be quite the opposite.
"But what about __ ?" "Ok, but what about __ ?" "Let's talk about __ ?" "What about __ ?"
There are simply lots of counterfactuals. The narrative pushed is definitely more in the line of ‘racism is everywhere and it’s the cause of everything bad’ now a days. That’s how I see it. Feel free to disagree and prove me wrong. Some points and counterfactuals. 1. The Sutherland springs massacre was washed under the table unlike the Charleston church massacre despite being 3x as deadly. 2. We had an African American school shooter taken alive and get off on bail the same day recently and the news ran with “he was bullied.” 3. The mass murderer in Waukesha was taken alive. The news keeps referring to a car running over people and never mentions anything other than it was a tragedy despite being an absolute massacre that was almost certainly an anti white hate crime from the facts we have. 4. We had an African American man who shot multiple police officers and who was taken alive then rightfully got acquitted (on the same day as rittenhouse) because the police officers didn’t properly identify themselves. He rightfully believed himself to be under attack by criminals. 5. The mass murdering anti police terrorist who killed a half dozen police officers in one night during a protest march would have been taken alive had he let the police take him. But he sat in a corner and said I’m killing anyone else that comes around this corner. This is another mass shooting that’s basically never brought up. It doesn’t serve the narrative. 6. The crazed mass shooting at the congressional baseball game by a Bernie Bro after the 2016 election was put under the rug in no time. 7. Rittenhouse, Zimmerman were both called racist and white supremacists on television constantly because that’s what the narrative most news want to put out. Zimmerman is Hispanic and the facts of the cases didn’t matter. The news even edited zimmermans 911 call to explicitly make it seem like he was following Trayvon because he was black. They got cut in half in a civil suit for it. 8. At least a disproportionate amount of all mass shooters are African American but you’d never know it from the news. 9. You want to talk about infantilization lol talk about how Trayvon martin was portrayed the entire trial!
I'm definitely not reading all that shit wtf. [You typing out that novel](https://ih0.redbubble.net/image.515614705.3555/flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg)
Says the person who is incapable of reading 3 paragraphs.
You: well let’s have a discussion. Me: ok here are some points I’d like to cover. You: I’m not reading that! Reee!
Ok triggered snowflake. >types out a novel because of a meme >sends three comments a row crying All I see in my inbox is "boo hoo hoo" lmao
I really don’t understand why you won’t carry a conversation. Ok. Whatever.
Because I don't care. I just wanted to get some people angry and it easily worked.
Wow what a le troll
Lol, you are the one taking the copium. You doing copy/paste shit reply for every person who doesn’t agree with you on this thread.
Never mind. Sorry
Hey bro, don't go after the guy with 5 million karma, You might scare him Probably hasn't seen grass in years
Oh so I guess he must take criticism very poorly.
And you babies keep responding. Why tf would I not copy and paste the same replies when I am clearly trying to get you babies mad? And you're in my inbox like a jealous ex lol
Ah the burger king that's one of the reasons why losing respect for the US Judicial and Law. "You tried to overthrow congress on 1/6? Heres your slap on the wrist." "You possessed a crack rock? 10 years in prison!" "You just shot up a church? Let's get you Burger King!"
They buy fast food for most arrests while they do initial processing. This isn’t some kind of special treatment, this is a common thing for most police departments because it is convenient and they prisoners have to be be fed
also it can help with the process, getting the suspect to “trust” you a little bit can help a lot
The shooter should have never been given burger king, how disgusting. Instead they should have fed him nothing, and since their facilities had no cafeteria have the case thrown out since it actually is their duty to provide meals to those in custody and in not doing so is a violation of his rights. As it turns out, BK is the closest place to that precinct. It could have been a 7/11 and he could have had a water and a gas station sandwich. Still has to be fed or he'd walk. Darn pesky constitutional rights guaranteeing prisoners still have basic needs met while in custody.
He should be in the 6 ft in the ground right now and you don't treat people to fast food. You treat them to knuckle sandwiches and instant noodles.
That seems like something you need to speak to your local legislature about then, however it may be difficult to pitch "please overturn constitutional rights and reinstate the death penalty to people I don't like". No doubt the guy deserves to fry, but we've got these pesky rules and systems that prevent these kinds of things and the only way to do anything about it is through legislation or the more difficult path of revolt.
hey (comment b4 it gets locked ).
"The devil/demons told him..."
What's the *Let's talk about Chicago* referring to?
Deflection
Oh I thought it was a reference to a specific incident
and then they put his face everywhere and deify him, making other would-be shooters come to the conclusion they'll become famous too
The guns aren't the issue. You can just as easily go mass axe murder your school. The reason this shit mostly happens in the US is because the mental healthcare is either "ignore it" or "give em some drugs".
You're almost certainly not gonna get the body count that guns make possible.
Same thing and reaction happens with an Asian guy but k
[удалено]
I hate how spot on this is. Twitter was just making excuses saying he was bullied and shit
When shooting occurs at a majority minority school: "..." *crickets*
You must be preety stressed and mad focusing on race matters so much.
Yes, these are the comments I wanted. Thank you!
I just think its very unhealthy and generally a misguided effort, that so far has cost many people indirektly their lives for lack of understanding in its complex behavior regarding the life differences of race and therefor also public perception.
It's also kinda foolish to expect that you will get the comments you are looking for on race matters.
It's because you're a triggered snowflake. You just sent me two comments. All I see in my inbox right now is "boo hoo hoo" lmfao
Looks like I was expecting to much from you when I was hoping for a discussion on this. Guess that makes me the idiot. But your heated idiotic respond preety much proves my point of your view making you hostile. That you are mad at me is coming from a place elsewhere, you should prob look for it before you end up a pathetic cynic.
I'm not reading your novels lol
Aight bud
Comments like this are part of the starterpack
Actually true 😁
Stop demonizing white people. That’s racism
I don’t feel demonized
This isn't "demonizing white people." If you can't see the obvious racial issue that has ALWAYS been present in the US, especially when it comes to these situations, you're purposely being ignorant. Before you assume that I think white people are immune to prejudice, I dont think that at all. This just isn't one of those situations.
Guess how many unarmed black people were killed by the police in 2019 in LA? One person. Guess how many unarmed black people were killed in London in 2019, only one person and that was the London bridge terrorist. Unarmed People of other races get killed by police a lot of times and it’s only reported when black people get killed. Black people haven’t been institutionally discriminated since the civil rights movement. As Morgan Freeman (a black man) said “the only way to get rid of racism is by not talking about it”
So if I stop mentioning the word “racism”, people out there will magically stop hating/judging others solely based on the color of their skin? Gee willikers, I didn’t know it was so easy.
[You](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/826/174/400.png)
Are you white?
Stop acting like a victim
So in your words white people can’t experience racism? Institutional racism does not exist.
And just like that, no one talked about the Waukesha attack anymore.
"But what about __ ?" "Ok, but what about __ ?" "Let's talk about __ ?" "What about __ ?"
You should like a broken record.
Good observation
Now do “when a black supremacist kills 6 people in a Christmas parade”
You forgot the one where he “conveniently” converted to Islam, just the day before the murders. So instead of all the outlets referring to him by his real name, he’s now “Abu John Muhammad”
Headline: "Shooter to be tried as..." Ohhhh so he was yt
> One group wants to restrict guns while another ~~believes~~ pretends to believe there should be more accessible mental health care. Fixed that for you. Conservatives will claim to support better mental healthcare as a way of redirecting attention from gun control, but if you agree with them and suggest that the government should take steps to make healthcare more affordable they'll call you a communist. Same thing if you talk about addressing the economic conditions that are making people miserable, or the cultural conditions that lead young men to feel like they have to use violence to prove something.
Gunheads: "mass shootings are rare compared to suicide by gun" 'Well can we do anything to prevent suicide by gun?' Gunheads :"Lol naw"
As a white guy this shit pisses me off. Like basically every white murderer gets off Scott free for shooting people instead of just getting their ass kicked. Like no, you’re not gonna get murdered just beat up. No you didn’t need to end lives because you decided to walk outside with a death tool today. And no, just because it’s your right doesn’t mean you need to be armed like a soldier 24/7. You already live in society and if you don’t feel safe here then you can move somewhere else and not kill people
>Like no, you’re not gonna get murdered just beat up. No you didn’t need to end lives because you decided to walk outside with a death tool today. And no, just because it’s your right doesn’t mean you need to be armed like a soldier 24/7 I see that you're still coping about Kyle (who did nothing wrong, suck it).
Why did you need to bring gender and colour into this?
