You CABA chicks are soooo jealous.

Haters

She is on FNC now. A furrowed brow is necessary to show you are serious, while flashing those bare thighs with the minimal hemline that will still maintain modesty.

Why do you think that mental health is being used as the reason in this case, but not the others that involve black suspects?

You CABA chicks are soooo jealous.

Well, this is just my opinion:

There isn't a lot of mass shootings like this coming from black men. The last one before this was the DC sniper. Now, I would classify him as bat**** crazy. But since he actually had a "plan", that ruled him out.

There have been 67 mass shootings since 1985, 16% were black, 66% were white. I guess the takeaway is that mass shootings shouldn't be confined to any one race. This is why it makes me upset when blacks are classified as being inherently more dangerous than whites. If the shooter was white, we'd mourn the victims and talk about mental health. But since he's black, it will fuel the already growing fear of black men.

That, my friend is a blessing. At least in the media outlets.

Well, I think it goes to show that race is not immediately the root cause as previously discussed. Appearance and attitude have a lot to do with it. I think there is more of a stereotype of being a black thug than a black guy. People rarely think one way or another about a black guy wearing "normal" clothes. But you see a kid thugged out or with pics of himself holding a gun and trying to look gangsta, people will close the book on him mentally. We do it with this guy too you know. I'll look at him and think I know everything about him but that's not really fair is it.

Old guys hate kids these days, its true with any generation. Old white people really hate young black kids that look like a thug. The personality or reasons are never considered as the bridge for understanding will never be crossed. Its the cultural divide that separates us far more than the skin.

I believe that ALL mass murderers are batshyt crazy. No sane person gets up one day and decides to kill multiple people just for the heck of it.

Could it be that most of the crimes committed by black suspects are not those types of crimes that are considered to be of a mental health nature? Yes, whites commit these crimes too, but not in the population ratio numbers that blacks do.

It's more about being black in general. Because a white child can sag his pants, wear a hoodie, and act like a hoodlum. But I'll bet my life there isn't the same amount of fear generated if it's a black youth. The scary black man myth extends to all black men basically over the age of 10.

The general mentality is if you're black, you're inferior. You don't have to look further than this forum to see it. Go back and look at my previous exchanges with certain members here. I must be ok with the N word, because other blacks are. I must speak broken english, because other blacks do. I must be ok with drug dealing, gangs, and the mistreatment of women in rap, because other blacks listen to it. It's the reason I have to come in here and defend my people all the time.

Some people feel that way. Some blacks feel it right back to whites. I don't think the general mentality is that blacks are inferior. People are just fighting to maintain the status quo in many cases. The whole N word being a huge insult when used from a white person but a greeting to a fellow black guy should be obvious. It doesn't bother me because I don't care to use it. But there is a hypocrisy to it and no one "owns" a word. FTR, you and I, and many other people subscribe to stereotypes as they often hold up. We both no doubt thought the same thing about that picture I posted earlier.

But some people attribute stereotypes to skin color, where as, to me, its all in the appearance. A white thug is the same as a black thug to me. But yes, the white guy seems like a bigger b1tch because he just doesn't pull it off as well. You know it, and I know it. He also can't pull off the all orange tuxedo like the black guy next to him. (please someone make a dumb and dumber ref) The whole thug appearance to me was based on being a gangster. Someone who kills others in cold blood. I think its morphed a bit over time, but that's where it started and that's what many white guys attribute it to. You dress like a gangster, you are a gangster. These same guys will say the same thing about women wearing provocative clothing. She's asking me to stare at her or smack her a$$.

If you look at the list of black mass shooters, which Danno gleefully posted a few days ago, mental health was never brought up. For those cases, you would have to be crazy to do those things.

[Teddy B 17,252]

50 years ago, when someone said the words gangsters or thugs, the first thing anyone thought about was the Mafia or Irish mob. Most Italians or Irish folks didn't like being associated with those words, because most Italian and Irish people aren't gangsters or thugs. Now blacks seem to own those labels for the most part, and just like the Italians and Irish, most blacks are not gangsters and thugs.

I'm sure Danno's list and whatever labels that went along with it were pre-intended to drive home a point, one that he feels strongly about for whatever reason.

I don't believe that most people of any race thinks a black mass murderer is any less crazy than a white, green or blue mass murderer.

I think the N word is horrible, no matter who uses it. The logic being if you take it and own it is stupid. I get more angry when blacks use it because it shows how ignorant you are if you have to use it to convey any type of rational thought. As for the inferior part, let me share something with you. About 4 years ago, aboard the USS Blue Ridge, I was working in the Strategic Plans office for the Commander, US Seventh Fleet. I was the only enlisted guy in the shop with a bunch of officers, none were black. One day they were have a discussion about great books and authors. I usually stay out of the conversation since enlisted and officers don't mix well. But this day they were talking about great books and authors. I remember one of them talking about Cormac McCarthy. I stopped what I was doing and asked, " isn't he the guy who wrote Blood Meridian?" You could have heard a pin drop. the entire conversation stopped. One of the Lt's looked and me and said "you read that book?" He was in complete shock. I said, I picked it up a while ago but never got a chance to finish it. I also read Dean Kootz, Stephen King, and Dan Brown on occasion. It was like until I said that, they had this preconcieved notion of my character without knowing anything about me. It happened every time I did something out of "character", speaking German, talking about cultures, denouncing rap culture.

Yep, now the word belongs to us. You can't even use it to describe a white person without being laughed at. And you're correct, we're not.
