So funny how #theleft rallies around #mentalhealth explanations of bad behavior for whites. But no one considers the stress #poverty and #PoliceBrutality - genuine #disadvantage - black children and youth suffer. They get the personal responsibility lecture and jail. #hypocrites

Yeah I saw that tweet and think it’s ridiculous. But Jimmy Kimmel =
#theLeft? -
Right. So see my next response. The perception of many black folks is that well-meaning white liberals seem befuddled by the mental health story for white deviance yet never stand up for inner city blacks who genuinely suffer trauma everyday.

I should say, that it appears to me a general response. White shooter, for example, is tagged as having issues and people just collapse into a puddle of pearl clutching apologists for demanding accountability.

But you really see “
#TheLeft” “rallying” around white shooters, like in Las Vegas and Parkland, excusing their acts as the result of inadequate mental healthcare? -
I appreciate your questions but I feel we're playing semantics. My point is that from our perspective, it all amounts to the same thing - a marked imbalance in moral reasoning.

Yes, agreed. And there needs to be greater appreciation of the everyday stress to mental health in working-class nonwhite neighborhoods, and the role of this in gun violence...
