Who's shooting?
American Thinker ^ | March 26, 2021 | Henry Percy

Posted on 03/26/2021 8:48:24 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

...I have assumed for years that mass shooters are overwhelmingly white males, because I keep reading that. If we look at the seven mass shootings so far this year, 57% of the perpetrators were black. But small datasets lead to misleading percentages: add just a few more white shooters, and the percentages change drastically.

Longer timelines must be considered. Statista reports that between 1982 and March 2021, 54% of mass shooters were white, 17% black, and 8% Latino. Wait a minute — Latinos can be any race. Nevertheless, whites are 73% of the U.S. population, and blacks 12.7%, so whites are very under-represented while blacks are over-represented.

Thx for the definition.

Interesting that there is no element of time. Therefore a mass shooting could be carried out over over days or longer and meet the definition.

The line up looks like what what the woke edition 2021 game of Guess Who should look like.

When it comes to mass shootings, there is a rating system to determine how it should be reported.

All I know is that it would be nice to know how many crimes are committed by brown skinned individuals when I'm looking at FBI crime data comparing the crime rate between Blacks and Whites. If there can be a "black" race and a "white" race, why can't there be a "brown" race and, I'd add "a middle eastern" race. Our crime data is ridiculous. It's the federal government's fault for not creating the brown column and it's the various state government's fault for including Hispanics(and middle eastern Jihadi types) in the white column so it looks like blacks commit 50% of the murders and whites commit the other 50% but it's not that black and white, not at all. When Americans read "white", nobody in this country thinks, "oh, that means Mexicans and Pakistanis". No, they think, "oh, that means lily white people of mixed European ancestry".

I am tired of inaccurate data from this government. It's something I would expect from China, but not the United States.

Women are greatly under-represented when it comes to mass shooters. I’ll bet the NAG Hags (National Alliance of Gals, per Rush) get right on that. *SMIRK*

They are three Races

This is a Q&A from Jack Kelley. Home » Ask a Bible Teacher » Where Did Different Races Come From?

Q Why do you suppose God told us why there are different languages but not why there are different races? The different races is an argument atheists use for evolution.

A Noah’s 3 sons each had distinctive physical features, and all the different races developed among their descendants. I believe when God confused the languages He didn’t do it randomly, but by people group. This means people from specific tribes or clans were given a common language that people from other groups could not understand. As these groups separated from each other marriages within each tribe or clan produced children with the dominant characteristics of the clan. Over time these dominant characteristics became even more pronounced.

You can see this today in the fact that people from particular regions of the world share physical characteristics that are remarkably different from people of other regions. This is especially true when opportunities for intermarriage with other groups has been limited. Research by scientists has demonstrated how the different races could have emerged within just a few generations.

By the way, the different races really present a strong argument against evolution, not for it. Any dog breeder will tell you that the way to protect and enhance a particular line’s unique characteristics is to prevent breeding outside the line. But if you put all the dogs together and let random selection prevail, pretty soon all you would have is a bunch of mongrels. It takes the application of an intelligent outside force with a specific purpose in mind to prevent mongrelization.

This brings to mind something I learned a while back on the different approaches taken by believers vs. unbelievers is cases like this. The believer asks, “How did God do that?” and through study discovers there’s an answer that explains it. The unbeliever says, “God couldn’t have done that” and looks no further. Maybe God didn’t just tell us about different races because He wanted us to discover it for ourselves as confirmation that the confusion of tongues happened the way He said it did.

Couldn’t it be argued that gun control is racist because non-whites are disproportionately poor and gun control deprives poor people of a means of self defense?

Well, if resident Pedo Joe gets his wishes of taxing each AR-15 and mag $200 a year, the US will become the fiefdom they dream of.

I have been harping on N.O.W. for awhile.
They are deathly silent about #metoo accusations of Cuomo\Biden etc...

They are silent about the males in women’s sports...they are probably conflicted.

I check out their web site every now and again to see what’s what.
nada on these issues.

Yes. Gun control is racist.

Not to the poverty pimps and black millionaire athletes who live in white world... but to black citizens living in the black community - yeah, gun control is racist.

The right to defend yourself is especially important for non-whites who live in violent crime ridden neighborhoods....

In a lot of compilations of “mass shootings”, gang violence is specifically excluded.

If you include instances where gang members spray a crowd, then mass shootings are predominantly committed by minorities.

Fiefdom or feudal state? I’m sure the local war lord will offer protection for less.
