Yet nobody even cares to acknowledge it. Wonder why this isn't getting attention...

Probably because we're sadly, rapidly numbing to senseless gun-violence?

That's what I was thinking. That and the fact that the shooter was a black man who shot whites.

Not newsworthy when innocent white people are shot.

Except the countless times in the past when such incidents have been extensively reported?

If the shooter had been a white lunatic who shot blacks using the same excuse this guy used, would it be on the news? Hell yeah

Are you saying that if the roles were reversed it would not be news?

So a person shoots 4 people kills one of them

How about we talk about this

Or why has this received no press at all?

It doesn't matter now because only black people's lives matter.

Correction: black lives only matter if they are killed by cops

Just like if you're born into immense wealth, it's your fault: you earned it.
Or if you're born with a congenital heart defect, it's your fault: you earned your weakness.
Or if you're born with HIV, it's your fault you're immuno-compromised.
Or if you're born in relative privilege in a nice suburb, it's your fault that you have a moderate leg-up in life.
Or if you're born into a Christian family in Syria, it's your fault you're oppressed by ISIL.
Or if you were born Jewish in Poland in 1935, it's your fault you and your family ended up in the chambers.
Or if you happened to be (very privately) an atheist in Dhaka, it's your fault you were hacked to death in the streets.
Or if you're born and raised in a community where your opportunities for advancement and prosperity are severely limited, it's your fault you didn't overcome the societal handicap handed you as your perverse birthright.

Whoa there. Pump the brakes a bit.

All I was referring to was the viscous cycle of the killing each other and innocent people and children. They do this to themselves. Their lives clearly don't matter to their movement unless a black person is killed by the police and/or a white person. I can't speak for the black comminity, but I think it's safe to think that they have bigger issues then "racist" white people.

If you're well-educated, in your 30's or beyond and still a tribalist, that IS your fault.

Nothing I said was incorrect or not true.

Please tell me how it's anyone else's fault, but black peoples in this instance. The amount of killing that occurs between black people is somehow my fault because I am white?

"they"


http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/7/14/1548230/-Black-Republican-senator-tells-colleagues-how-he-s-been-profiled-by-Capitol-Police

because if "they" wouldn't commit crimes "they" wouldn't get stopped

There are connotations to the third person plural.
As in us and "they"

you don't see that, do you ?

There are 12,000 gun related homicides every year. Brown colored / Puerto Rican / Hatian / and all other non ATCQ related ethnicities are murdered every year. You SHOULD be outraged by this homicide as well as the other 11,999. We have a disgusting problem in this country and its related in large part to poor gun control laws.

So, we can focus on the perils of white privilege if you want, but if you really want to solve problems, then I suggest finding something else to be mad about.

I agree 100% on piss poor gun laws

my communication skills have not aged poorly. If anything they've improved :)

My post wasn't directed at you. Why you replied with "gun-related" is strange because I've long advocated gun control laws on this board.
