CNN Analyst-"We have to ask why all recent mass shootings committed by white guys"

CNN Panelist On ‘White Privilege’: We Have To Ask Why All Recent Mass Killings Committed By ‘White Guys’ | Mediaite



CNN panelist David Sirota and writer at Salon.com told Don Lemon Saturday that we need to “explore” the question of why so many recent mass killings were committed by white men. “I’m not saying we should racially profile white guys,” he said, but suggested that had the shooters been “Arabs” or “African-American men”, we’d be having a “very different conversation” in this country.
According to Sirota, many of the recent gun tragedies in America have been carried out by white men, 18- to 25-years-old.

“Why is the composite so similar? Why are 70% of these mass shootings at the hands of white men? Not to say they should be racially profiled but to ask the question, why is the composite so similar? Let’s explore that. Let’s ask that question.”
“It’s an important question,” Sirota notes, “in light of a political climate” where a “white victimization” narrative is widespread. He continued,
“This idea white people are being kept down, that white people are being oppressed – does this have anything to do with this? I think it’s worth asking the question.”

Lemon referenced a recent article Sirota had written in which he said if the shooter was a black male, he’d be a labelled a “thug,” or if he was Muslim, he’d be labelled a “terrorist,” but since he’s white, no generalized labels have been thrown about. Sirota stood by his piece and said he hoped the “next time something bad happens,” we don’t “ascribe to entire groups the bad actions of individuals.” The reason we’re not now, he said, is because it’s a form of “white privilege.”

I mean I "get" why race is brought into the equation, because race is an easy distraction.. but death is DEATH.. it's a tragedy when anyone gets killed black, white or whatever..

I had a friend die not too long ago, just drinking and hangin out and shyt.. dude stumbled and landed on his head, dude went to sleep and never woke up... don't take life for granted... you can die anyday... If I woulda been there I would have not let him go to sleep.. but it is what it is.

Agreeable discussion since it's marks a unspeakable topic "Americans" don't want to talk about it. Whites America hates to discuss their personal community failures because it would expose the fake Utopia called "America" they live in. It would also expose the racial bias of their words and actions. Here are the examples.

2/3 of Whites are on Welfare....yet anytime Welfare is mentioned it's about Blacks and Latinos.

Majority of Serial Killers are white males yet is never mentioned in mass killings.

More Whites are on drugs in America than any other race yet the War on Drugs in focused on Blacks and Latinos.


More Whites are Poor than any race in America but the term used for Blacks and Latinos are "Moocher Class"

Black people kill people they have beef with, or a shootout might happen at a club because two nikkaz get into it.

When since the DC sniper and he was muslim did a black person go around mindlessly killing.

White people are violent by nature, nikkaz are conditioned to be violent against each other. It's a difference.

When these peckerwoods get to killing, its in masses.
They got Cheif Keef in the news like he some threat, when the body count from that one incident with the honkey surpasses his whole gang.

When it comes to killings and mass murder, them honkies run that shyt.

There was guy in Flint, Michigan not too long just going around stabbing black people to death.

When's the last time black guy went a murdering spree killing random white boy with. shyt don't even happen in the movies Django at least had a motive.

nikkaz in the hood will kill each other of nothing, nobody cares when black people kill each other, because we don't even love ourselves.

But white people on a whole other level, all them nikkaz that brag talking about they bout that life, don't want it with that white man.

I don't necessarily agree that white people commit a disproportionate amount of mass shooting violence. What is America, about 60-70% percent Caucasian?

That seems about right.

it's simple. white supremacy ideology. a part of that is basically trying to present white people as being incapable of doing or representing anything seen as negative in society.

as for the mass shootings and white murderers in general, it makes me cringe whenever i see the media and society trying to find some excuse for them to what they did why they did. trying to paint them as normal human beings. yet if a black guy were to do the same thing, they wouldn't even bother they don't view us as being human beings.

bet you these are the same idiots that will say that black people commit most of the crime in this country BUT according to the census, we only make up 12% of the population so that doesn't add up. what it REALLY is is that black people are charged by the police for offenses more than whites are. a white person might get a slap on the wrist where as a black person might get locked up for it. the police also tend to racial profile blacks and not whites. these folks don't even realize that the stats are based on data such as arrests and charge data. me personally, i think that whites commit the most crime in this country simply because they make up most of the population. it's common sense. it's that they just aren't charged with crimes as much as black people are.
