School Shootings and Students of Color

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, if you feel a shiver of excitement when “school shooting” trends on Twitter, you just might be woke. Last Wednesday, Erica -- a nurse and “humanist” -- proved her wokeness in spades.

“They’re already making excuses for the shooter ‘he got in a fight with someone,’” she tweeted. “Okay, but who chooses to shoot people? White males are a problem #TexasShooter #EnoughIsEnough.”

Although reluctant to admit as much, many on the Left welcome a school shooting. Perhaps more than any other event, a shooting reinforces their empty mishmash of a worldview. It allows them to flaunt their hatred both of guns and of their lily-white selves. For Erica, the Texas shooting was a twofer -- or at least it seemed to be.

Alas, the rush was short lived. About 20 minutes after the original tweet, Erica tweeted back to her 405 followers, “Oh F***. He’s a POC.” For the record, Erica did not use asterisks, and “POC” is woke shorthand for “person of color.”

Had Big Media been even just a little bit honest about race and crime, Erica would not have embarrassed herself as she did. A well-informed Erica, upon hearing of a school shooting, might have tweeted, “Oh F***. He’s probably a POC.” In the real world, Erica, he almost always is.

Of color. You mean like universal brown hair, and brown eyes?

“Okay, but who chooses to shoot people? White males are a problem #TexasShooter #EnoughIsEnough.”

Bad choices?

Okay, but who chooses to murder unborn children? Women are a problem #BlackWomenLargelyResponsible

As most Freepers know the FBI keeps very detailed,nationwide,stats on major crimes like murder.They track the number of murders,the race and gender of the killer,the race and gender of the victim...and lots of other factors connected to the crimes. And they release these stats periodically (IIRC it's yearly) in at least one form,an Excel file.

These stats show,among other things,that trans racial murders are unusual in this country. Murder victims are almost always killed by a person of the same race.Whites being killed by blacks is unusual...and blacks being killed by whites is almost unheard of.

Also,considering the stats more broadly,they show that blacks commit a greater percentage of this country's murders than their representation in the population would suggest. I can't recall the exact figure I've seen by I think it was somewhere around 40% of all murders...while they constitute about 15% of the population.
