      1. An essential feature of white privilege is relative freedom from the harsh consequences of significant mistakes. //THREAD on the Texas church shooter Devin Kelley.

          Your article is a list of anecdotes and unfounded assertions culminating in an absurd headline. If the object of the exercise is to appear “woke” - well done, a textbook article. If the object was to investigate and inform, fail.

          Regardless of how much truth there is to your assertion, I don't think it's helpful in ending gun violence. The point should be that people with a history of violence, or severe mental health problems, should not be able to legally purchase a gun.

          You talk so much about 'white privilege ' because it puts you at a disadvantage. Male privilege is a much bigger issue.
