This wasn’t a mass shooting. A mass shooting is when 3 or more people are shot, no one was shot in this situation. If you want to bring up race and gun violence, that’s fine, but do so by backing up your statements with facts. The Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics compiled all homicide data from 1980 to 2008 and released a report. That report is is available at this site.
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf Page 12 breaks down victims and offenders by race into different homicide categories. Of homicides in all categories, white people committed 45.3% of all homicides, while black people committed 52.5%. Specifically looking at gun related homicides, white people committed 41.2% while black people committed 56.9%. When you consider the fact that this report counts non-white Hispanics as white, plus the fact that black people are 12.6% of the entire US population and white people are 73.6%, this information is that much more damning of your claim. If you look specifically at “mass shootings,” which are a tiny fraction of gun related homicides, you’ll find that white people are underrepresented in that category as well (As this left wing Slate article will show).
http://amp.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/10/what_the_white_mass_shooter_myth_gets_right_and_wrong_about_killers_demographics.htmlI just disproved your entire post by providing sources with actual facts to support my counterpoints. That is how you’re supposed to make an argument, not by irrationally blabbering something out.
