Racism played a role in Elliot Rodger's Santa Barbara murder spree:

I agree with you 100%. I am pointing out you are just as prejudiced as others just in a different direction

Uhhhh, whites commit the most mass murders, but no one profiles whites. Why not?

Because hatred of blacks no matter how much we "improve" we will still be hated by many and liked and loved by few.

Why is the mass killings by whites any different from the crimes committed by blacks?

If I'm sitting at work, or in a restaurant, or any other place for that matter and I see some white guy walk in with a bunch of guns - well, I'm going to profile him and run away. I really hope my wife knows she's supposed to follow me when I run.

He seems to had done well enough to have a comfortable life style, his father was much better known.

Wonder how they got here.

Yeah, they did seem decently well-off, but the kid felt he was poor compared to other people: he cursed his mother for being too selfish to marry for money, and thought that winning the lottery would solve his problems.

Here is what I read: http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/25/justice/california-shooting-revelations/

(CNN) -- Elliot Rodger left behind a 107,000-word "story" of what the shooting suspect called his "twisted world." While he e-mailed it to his parents and a therapist the day he allegedly went on a terror rampage, investigators and journalists soon found it.

The central theme of "My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger" is his intractable virginity, which he blamed on "the cruelness of women."

Here are five revelations from this disturbing document:

1. 'A bitter form of envy'

Elliot Rodger grew up on the edges of Hollywood but was not quite a part of it.

His father, Peter Rodger, aspired to make films, but he mostly directed commercials. His mother "dated George Lucas for a short time" and was a friend of Steven Spielberg's, he wrote. His stepmother, Soumaya Akaaboune, acted in a few movies and was a regular on the French version of "Real Housewives," produced in Los Angeles.

These connections got him into a few "Star Wars" premieres and the premiere on March 12, 2012, for the first installment of "The Hunger Games," for which his father worked as a second-unit director.

Rodger wrote that the movie was "entertaining" and the premiere "was an extraordinary experience," but he said he "felt very bitter that I wasn't able to bring a girl with me as a date. The majority of men at the event had a date with them, and I felt so pathetic for not having a date. If only a girl at my collage had been attracted to me; I would have gladly brought her to the premiere as my date." [...]

well actually they do. When looking for mass killers they always profile a certain kind of white guy. i have no problem with that.

Who said mass killings are different , you are trying to justify one wrong with another.

Happens all the time.. Profilers will often predict a killer as white based on the circumstances of the crime.

This is true, but she will be inclined to not run. Because many immigrants are taught they only need to fear black people.

I think what Janelle is trying to say is the reaction is different. About 2 years ago, right after one of the big shootings that took place, a white guy took went shopping with an AR-15 on his back in plain view. He was allowed in the store and bought what he needed and left. There's no way a black man would be able to do this without being arrested.

If a white guy walks into a gun store and buys a ton of ammo and weapons, he's being patriotic. If I did the same thing, I'd get a sideway glance.

Young black men are about 3% of the population and commit almost 50% of the violent crime. That's just a stat right ? But yet you think I should treat one approaching me on the street with no more of a jaundiced eye than a 70 year old lady.

Here is what I am responding to. You always like to point out the percentage of crimes committed by black men therefore justifying your prejudices and biasedness towards blacks. Please be this judgmental towards whites as well.

I do not justify the crimes of others.

Yes, but they are not publicly crucified, and you don't see all kinds of negative, racist comments about a white criminal versus what you see about a black criminal.

A black man would be all kinds of monkeys, n#### and everything under the sun for committing this kind of crime.

A white person is emotionally distraught, those bad parents should have bought him a beautiful white hooker how dare them, and people feel sympathy for them.

Just pointing out the unfair facts.

Not a sideways glance. The S.W.A.T. team will be waiting for you outside.

You need to quit watching so much Al Sharpton.

I can't speak for all immigrants but my wife has not been taught anything like that.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Sorry you believe Al Sharpton speaks for all black people.

Another blind generalization that is meaningless.

I can't speak for all immigrants but my wife has not been taught anything like that.

Of course you have not. But it is unfortunate that many immigrants are. And just because you have not doesn't mean someone else has not told your wife this garbage.

[decocker 7,198]

this thread is ridiculous.

Sorry Marc, I've lived it. Don't need to watch something I deal with daily.

I hope you see the humor in this.

Of course you have not. But it is unfortunate that many immigrants are. And just because you have not doesn't mean someone else has not told your wife this garbage.

And, by the way, I kind of wish you wouldn't bring my wife into this.
