    Why are people so unwilling just to admit that the shooter was racist, with racist motives? Not sure why it’s so hard.

        @aterkel I don't think people are denying it but some are pushing back against condemning a whole country over the act of one man.

        White people minimize racism b/c they know they benefit from it & fear losing perks if racism reduced or dismantled. @aterkel
