Why does the media only care about a shooting if the shooter is white?

@QuixoticSoul ah yes i guess the innocents at a party this weekend enjoyed getting shot. Same with the park

@Tiredandlonely People still die, yes, and many are bystanders. But it's a motive we understand and are more comfortable with, just how it is. Even though there is a lot more violence of this type, we're better at ignoring it - and the illusion of control helps too. Most of us don't have to worry about getting caught up in a gang altercation because we don't associate with any gang members. But that's different when it's a mall or a school getting shot up.

Funny thing is that traditional gun control measures are a hell of a lot better at restricting low level criminals than the occasional determined insane dude. But noooooo, can't have that.

@PlumBerries How can this be when the White Power structure is White ? 🤭

@Northwest 😆

@MarineBob This has always been a problem since the 1970s. So we as a culture has grown accustomed to it. Why give a fuck about it since you don't. 🙂
