In the wake of yesterday’s shooting there has been a vast amount of people having to state that the shooter was a white male. However if you have taken even the slightest time out and researched the tragedy you would learn that the shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is of Middle Eastern heritage. But this shouldn’t matter. The race of a person shouldn’t matter in any situation however the people who promote this always seem to be the first to call out of there person is white and or a male.

Do you think we should progress forward from making everything about race and more about the responsibility of the individual at hand?

Should the people spreading false information apologize for doing so?

The only way a person can be end up feeling ashamed is if they give authority to the person shaming them or if they agree with the other person that they should be ashamed..

A person cannot be shamed if they do not hold the other person in high regard and do not agree with the point the other person's points that they are trying to use to make the other person feel shame..

Shame is not something forced upon you by another person.. It take your cooperation and agreement with the criticism for the feeling of shame to be present within your conscience..
The amount of congressmen deleting tweets today is phenomenal..
Only yesterday they were so sure it had to be a trump voting bible clutching hood wearing white supremacist

I think it's good to 'fess up when you mess up. Part of being a real man or woman, or indeed (in my eyes) a respected company....

Yesterday, some idiot on here was doing the whole 'Trump' rubbish; stating that there were [i]no[/i] shootings under Trump yet many (?!?) under Biden and Obama....when I told him, actually, there were 102 + I heard nothing back...

I am still waiting for a 'Ok, I got it wrong. Sorry for saying that'.....but I doubt I ever will....*sigh*

When it comes to misleading the public, especially with this race thing, I think that legal action should be taken....

Just my thoughts...

@Spoiledbrat Indeed, but they should have the dignity to say 'ooops! Got it wrong.', shouldn't they? I know that I do...I don't expect everyone to know everything....and I don't know everything myself....which is why we come onto places like SW to educate ourselves....

Because the majority of shootings are white men - now having said that white people comprise the greater percent of people in America - about 60% or so.. The rest of the races basically fell into place in line with their race percents.

Of course it should be about the responsibility of the person doing it, but haters are always gonna hate. There needs to be a world wide collective conscience about this for it to ever change. It starts at home and the way you raise your children.
i didnt look or even consider the race of the shooter. i just read that there was a mass shooting and skimmed over the circumstances.

With our species? When there's only one race left.
