      If the majority of mass shootings in America were committed by Black men, most white men would assume a connection rooted in Blackness.

          And that would be wrong... But now it's okay for you to assume a connection rooted in "whiteness"? Be better. #transcend

          If the majority of mass shootings were by black individuals it would be obscene to suggest it had anything to do with "blackness"

          It's unfortunate. Your clear, rational, and true thinking isn't that of the dominant controling collective.

          Like @ebenet said, if every black male in the U.S. bought and registered a semi tomorrow, gun control laws would be in place by Friday.

          Whiteness and white supremacy is the most deadly force in human history.

          I get the whole white supremacy being deadly and wrong but what exactly do you mean by "whiteness" being deadly?

          This is a pretty great 14 part podcast about the creation of whiteness: http://bit.ly/2lSJt13  Give it a listen if you're curious.

          Ah racebaiting as always. You mean like how 13% of the population commits over 50% of the violent crimes? Nice try

          The numbers you just listed are not disproportionate to the % of whites tho. Whites account for 65% roughly. So twice the rate is close to =

          Whites commit the overwhelming majority of DWI, which claimed over 10k lives, yet blacks are 75% more likely to be pulled over. You like?

          Wasn't debating the rate a black American is pulled over. I agree it's too high. Was debating King's false narrative on violence

          Hypothetical scenarios that are plausible based on historical analogies aren't exactly false narratives

          A hypothetical is always a false narrative because it implies one can foresee the future. I just go with numbers where EACH race is at fault
