You have to be pretty stupid to opine publicly about the race/ethnicity of a mass shooter before his race/ethnicity is known. You have to be very stupid to base such an opinion on the obviously false claim that mass shooters are “always” of a particular race/ethnicity. And you have to be world-class stupid to risk your professional career on such an assertion.
But that’s what Hemal Jhaveri, then the “diversity and inclusion editor at USA Today Sports,” did following last week’s mass shooting in Colorado. She tweeted, “It’s always an angry white man [who does this]. Always.”
Unfortunately for Jhaveri’s career, the Colorado shooter was Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, an Arab-American who was born in Syria. As anyone who pays attention knows, this guy is not the only man of Middle Eastern heritage to have gone on a shooting spree. Recall Omar Mateen, the Florida nightclub gunman and Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood killer. Jhaveri also overlooked Floyd Lee Corkins, a Black who tried to shoot up a Washington, D.C. think tank.
USA Today fired Jhaveri. She promptly played the victim card, including pathetic moans about “microaggressions” she allegedly experience at USA Today.
Doubling down on stupid, Jhaveri complained: “There is always the threat that tweets which challenge white supremacy will be weaponized by bad faith actors.” But Jhaveri’s problem wasn’t her “challenge to white supremacy.” I take it that USA Today paid her to regurgitate such “challenges.”
Her problem was that the tweet about the Colorado shooting exposed her as a fool with a high degree of animosity towards white males.

Many Arabs consider themselves white. In fact many middle easterners. The distinction began among them centuries before it did in Europe.
Take Mohammad for instance, his whiteness is praised repeatedly in Islamic writings. Mohammad was whiter than Joseph Smith in pancake makeup.
No but stupidity is an absolute defense for wokeism
It is hard to play to woke. It is aces and eights.
Now that is funny! May I appropriate the Mohammad remark for future use?
you do know the difference between genius and stupidity , right?
Genius has its limits
Most American Progressive/Marxist’s mean “WASP” when referring to “whites”
According to the FBI statistics most perpetrators of mass shootings are black.

Doubling down on stupid, Jhaveri complained: “There is always the threat that tweets which challenge white supremacy will be weaponized by bad faith actors.” But Jhaveri’s problem wasn’t her “challenge to white supremacy.”
Being Woke means never having to say you’re sorry.
Or to even admit that you were wrong.
No, she is never going to admit she was wrong or give a second thought that she could be wrong about White People.
This woman has been thoroughly indoctrinated into the White People are inherently evil.
A white person is racist from the day he or she is born.
In fact, the parents of white people are racist, because, if they weren’t racist, they wouldn’t be having white children.
Once white people get older and they marry, they generally get married to other white people, which makes white marriages racist.
There ought to be a law which prohibits white marriages. There ought to be a law prohibiting white people. There ought to be a law prohibiting all marriages, unless one of those getting married is of another race, preferably black.
I think everything I said up there is racist, but, that can’t be true, since, I’m Hispanic, born of a white Hispanic mother and a black Hispanic father. Maybe being a mutt is the answer to all of the world’s problems.
They call them microaggressions because only very small people can see them.
“Wokeism” uses common stupidity as its starting point, and raises it to an exponential power. Not just stupidity, but WILLFUL stupidity is the most vital ingredient here, an absolute refusal to consider any other viewpoint but the bias and prejudice that already existed.
“All the best people are doing it”, but who is to choose the “best people”?

“It’s always an angry white man [who does this]. Always. She looks as stupid as she sounds
Well, yes, there is the assumption of “Christian privilege” to complement white privilege. One that asserts that Christians are the oppressors and non-Christians the oppressed.
It’s part of why the Woke can so easily shove their heads up their own asses when it comes to Islam.
Just be careful you don’t use it with someone who knows how to get a head.
