Are Most Mass Murderers Really White?
americanthinker.com ^ | 10 June, 2014 | Selwyn Duke

Aside from attacks on the Second Amendment, there is a certain theme that’s now repeated after every massacre committed by an unhinged individual: that most all mass killers are white. After the recent Elliot Rodger murders, for instance, Michael Moore said that he no longer had “anything to say” before immediately saying, “Nearly all of our mass shootings are by angry or disturbed white males.” Not to be one-upped in the inanity department by a mass of male whiteness, one Brittney Cooper at Salon wrote, “How many times must troubled young white men engage in these terroristic acts that make public space unsafe for everyone before we admit that white male privilege kills?” Ironically, Cooper had mentioned, parenthetically, that “as many commenters have pointed out, [Rodger] had a white father and mother of Asian descent,” but, hey, you can’t let a minor detail get in the way of a good racial screed. And perhaps mass killing is such a Caucasian domain that perpetrating one bestows a person with honorary whiteness. Yet about this we should ask a question:

Before rushing to play pin the tale on the honkey, did anyone bother to check the history of mass killings?

Because I have — a comprehensive list dating from 1982 through 9/16/2013 is found at Mother Jones here — and guess what?

Of the last 20 mass killings of that period, 9 were perpetrated by non-whites.

That would be 45 percent, which exceeds non-whites’ 37 percent share of the population.

Leftists never have had a regard for the truth. They do not believe it exists.

Is this really an argument the Left wants to get into?

Because how many non-whites are involved in the non-mass shootings every weekend (and weekday) in Chicago, Miami, Oakland, etc. ....?

White men are still a large demographic between the ages of 18-100 so the per capita rate is not that high or out of proportion. A child can’t exactly commit a mass murder and are disproportionately minority relative to older people being disproportionately white. Adult men are the main perps of violence.

Who knew Asians were most likely to be mass murderers? Thanks for the morning coffee stats! I’m gonna’ have fun at work with this one around the water cooler.

Cheers!

I’ve noticed a lot of mass murders in the news.

I have to wonder, is the rate of mass murder really increasing? Or is the rate of reporting of mass murder increasing?

These are two quite different situations, and have very different implications.

Looking at the long run Billy Jeff and the arkansas aids slave blood sales to Canada are hard to figure accurately.

Maybe the Tutsis would like to weigh-in on this one.

“How many times must troubled young white men engage in these terroristic acts that make public space unsafe for everyone before we admit that white male privilege kills?”

I think this is germane. For the time being the FBI is still allowed to show individual crime by race. Their Table 43 data of actual arrests by type of crime and race here for example is 2012.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter show slightly more blacks arrested than whites.. Never mind that whites outnumber blacks by six to nine times depending upon how to count whites. So to be comparable shouldn't the black arrests be 1/6 or 1/9 of the number of white arrests?

The truth is that if we don’t want to be “cowards” on race, as Eric “the Red” Holder said Americans were, we do need to speak frankly about criminality in the US.

But if it involves white / black interracial crime forgeta 'bout it. The Dept of Just Us since 2008 no longer releases that kind of data (Crimes of violence), Table 42 in DoJ National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) -- emphasis on survey. This was a survey of around 70,000 people from which data for the whole population are extrapolated.

Hispanics are classified as Hispanic when they are victims, but as white when they are perps.

I guess Asians are too, now.

The Derb has always said America has only two functional races, black and non-black, despite all the desperate attempts by liberals to artificially create a coalition of “people of color,” or IOW non-whites, to be eternally and forever opposed to white people.

Looks like it is pretty even:

Josef Stalin = White

Adolph Hitler = White

Emporer Tojo = Asian

Idi Amin = Black

Barack Obama = Black

What is the body count for white mass murderers versus “normal” daily murderers?

Answer me this and I will answer that. When will the pro-government extremists stop the violence out of feeling that they are "victims"?

PRO-GOVERNMENT EXTREMISTS are violent, dangerous people.

It continues.. the mob violence including even muggings, knockout game, mob attacks, murders, beatings.. and no wonder look at the wicked hatred coming out of the White House, the Congress, the MSM, academia against those "who have too much" and how things should be more fair. How "they" stole "the people's" property.

Everyday whether it be "immigrant rights" or "civil rights" the pro-government extremists are incited to violence out of being a "victim."

The employees of the MSM like MSNBC or Slate don't have to tell the pro-government extremists to inflict pain and suffering on the "haves" and take back the "stolen" goods. The pro-government extremists cheered on by the White House, the Congress, the MSM, academia to get even gladly do the bidding of the Obama government, the MSM, academia . . . .

Mao Tse Teung = Asian
Pol Pot = Asian.

All committed mass killings “in the manner of Genghis Khan” who was also Asian.

RE: "the wicked hatred coming out of the White House, the Congress, the MSM, academia against" white privilege.

That reminds me. There's something called vicarious liability. Sue the aforementioned bastards.

You forgot IdI Amin. I don’t think he killed as Mao or Pol Pot bit he should be good for an honorable mention.
