Latoya Powell At least there is no need to post photos.

And your point is?

The unspoken point is that lazy minds don't have to do any hard work of actually thinking about an issue. They can just pigeon-hole people and dismiss them easily that way.

His point is, well over 50% of the violent crime in this country is committed by members of an ethnic minority which constitutes 13% of the population. And as appears to be the case in this shooting incident, far more often than not the crime is against another member of that same ethnic group.

Posting that isn't racial bigotry, it's just stating a documented statistic. I'm quite sure the responsible, law abiding segment of that minority deplores the situation as much or more than you or I do. Perhaps you prefer that we all mind our politically correct manners and just gloss over unpleasant facts?

If a disgruntled factory worker or office worker takes a gun and shoots the boss and a half dozen co-workers, it is usually a middle aged white guy. If someone shoots up a child's birthday party while holding the gun sideways, it is probably a rap music fan. If someone blows up a plane, bus or shopping mall full of strangers, it is probably an adherent of a specific religion.

You can choose to ignore patterns (that would be the politically correct thing to do) or you can make note of them.
