Weren't the past 33 mass shootings in the US by whites and asians?

Mass shootings are statistically a very, very small portion of US murders.

Some facts are not supposed to be said out loud in mixed company.  Those looking to be outraged can certainly find something here.

Racist.

[Donerail]

But remember guys, the Democrats are still the racists.

[Beet]

Where is she getting her data? If my recall of Stephen Pinker's comprehensive analysis of violence in Better Angels of Our Nature still serves me, this is only true in the northern United States. The murder rate among southern whites is much higher than in most European countries.

[dead0man]

Indeed, American whites are slightly more violent than European whites.

[Maxwell]

So... do we ban blacks?

[Simfan34]

Black people are not the problem. Gangs are the problem.

[Boris]

Males are the problem. Ban male gun ownership and give every female in the country a Kalashnikov, body armor, and a side arm.

How about we just put estrogen in the drinking water?

[badgate]

Black people are not the problem. Gangs are the problem.

So it's prohibition's fault. Great. We found the source. Now let's get to work on a time machine so we can fix America's crime problems!

Actually the type of shooting done by the Fort Hood shooter is usually done by disaffected white men (and that Asian guy). Gang violence is a whole another issue. And most rational people would be more scared of these type of lone wolf attacks, as opposed to gang violence which usually affects gang members themselves.

The most realistic, attainable goal in the present gun debate should and can be to minimize the number of spree killings that take place.

"Intimate" gun violence (i.e. people killing friends/family/acquaintances in closed settings in small numbers) is never going to be eliminated by gun policy. Depending on the motivation for the violence, the gunshot murder might just be replaced by some other method of killing. My only advice there is don't do drugs, live in a good neighborhood and give a wide berth to any crazy people you know personally.

Sure, but the skinny bitch was talking "murder rate" not "the type of shooting done by" the people you listed.  Which, as has been noted, is a small percentage of the murder rate.

Right, but the skinny bitch brought up the Fort Hood shooter, who fits the profile of a lone wolf shooter, as opposed to your generic gangbanger.

Crime overall tends to occur in more impoverished areas and blacks are disproportionately poor. Black areas with higher incomes have less crime. For example, in L.A., upper income View Park-Windsor Hills has very low crime, whereas very low income Watts has high rates of crime. Watts is 38% Black, View Park-Windsor Hills is 86% Black. You can't attach race as a reasoning for everything.

"Intimate gun violence" is down hugely from 20 years ago thanks to smarter policies by law enforcement. 100% elimination isn't possible, but reduction very much is. I am also pro-drugs within reason.
