Express your anger over these tragedies happening, lament the loss of innocent life, call for sever punishment against the perpetrator, but stop rushing into these thread to mock something real. Mocking the idea that social conditions can influence behavior is ignorant. I'm not saying that's the cause here, no onr is. However, dismissing poverty's impact on real people's lives overlooks a very real phenomenon that affects communities and contributes to cycles of hardship and violence. We can discuss the specific choices someone made without downplaying the broader realities that millions of people face every day.
He's right. And you are ignoring what is being said. Labeling every incident of gunfire in a crowd as a "mass shooting" ignores critical distinctions that matter to both public policy and how we understand the real threats in our communities. The broad label pushed by the GVA, which the media adopted, attempts to wrap all gun violence into a single term, which effectively conflates highly different situations. This approach doesn't "make anyone feel better in front of white folks," that is a simple-minded claim, it simply acknowledges the reality that the contexts and motivations behind these shooting differs significantly.
For example, if someone recklessly opens fire in a crowd, of course it's recklessness, negligent, and a total disregard for life. But that's different from someone taking the time to plan out and map out a indiscriminate attack in a public setting. Blurring those lines obscures the strategies we need to address specific types of gun violence.
And like @Brolic said above, the legal system recognizes different types of harm based on intent and circumstance. A drunk driver might face manslaughter charges rather than murder because while reckless, it wasn't premeditated. Similarly, gang-related or domestic shootings, often included in these GVA "mass shooting" counts, generally stem from specific motives and circumstances that differ from indiscriminate mass public shootings, which are typically planned attacks on strangers.
Understanding these distinctions isn't about "making Black people feel better in front of white people." It's about understanding the complexity of gun violence and how we find real solutions for each problem, rather than throwing them all together in a way that does little to address the root causes.

There is no way you grew up around black people or in a black community. It becomes more and more evident daily.

I'm "mocking" those on this forum that swear ecery SHOOTING is because of poverty. Meanwhile, every human on earth makes their own choices.Express your anger over these tragedies happening, lament the loss of innocent life, call for sever punishment against the perpetrator, but stop rushing into these thread to mock something real.

REAL QUESTION...how many shootings occur in trailer parks and other destitute communities? (WHAT RATE?). I'll wait...

Posts like this just expose your unconscious anti-Blackness. I grew up in Detroit. I've lived here all my life. I went to public school here. I only live around other working-class Black people.
