I said SINCE 9/11. I chose that point arbitrarily; I discount nothing, but it was 18 years ago. It's easy to find the stats that mass shootings are carried out by white males. In the US. I am not discussing other countries at the moment.

If its so easy to find them, please post them and back up you claim so we know what we are dealing with !!!
I'm going to pick 9/10, is that ok ? Its only a difference of one day so it should be no big deal when we are dealing with 18 years !!! What's one more day !!!
Its kind of like saying we shouldn't consider the attack at Pearl Harbor when talking about the start of our entry into WW-II
So we can look at your starting point and mine also !!! No big deal to do both !!!
Since 9/11, a VERY high percentage of "terrorist" acts in the US have been perpetrated by white males. That's factual.
It Is A Fact. Except one has to put terrorist in quotes because when a white man does it it is not reported as an act of terror. Just straight up crime.
The terrorist attack on 9/11 wasn't carried out by white males !!! Lets be clear about that and why would that be a starting point anyway ? So the 3,000 plus deaths can be discounted ? Seems to be the case !!! If not why start there, can you explain ?
Who should determine the starting point and why not start with yesterday or any other day ?
There is another post on this thread with a number of links. 9/11 makes up the huge percent of the Islamic terror numbers. Since it was such a massively violent episode, the numbers look pretty skewed. Otherwise, not sure what your point is.

Prove it !!!
When a white man is reported it could be any number of others like Mexicans, Central & So. Americans or people from other parts of the world !!!
Good recent example is, the black local politician woman in the check out line accusing a white man that turns out is Cuban and doesn't claim to be white !!! Being white apparently isn't about color !!!
It will never happen. The ""Somalian supremacist" checks too many identity politics victim boxes for the left wing media to ever criticize her. She is black, female AND Muslim, therefore she is untouchable to any criticism, ever. Anyone who dares to criticize her is a bigot and a racist of course.

Finally someone with the actual facts !!! Good job !!!
I keep wondering though if there is something she will say or do that crosses the democrats boundary and they will do something about it !!! That will be big news !!!
In a resurfaced interview from 2018, anti-Trump Democrat Ilhan Omar responded to a question about the "quote-unquote legitimate fears" some people have of "jihadist terrorism," by saying Americans should be "more fearful of white men."
Medhi Hasan said some Americans feel justified in fearing Islam, not out of hate but for their own safety, before listing a number of radical Islamic terror attacks. Omar dismissed this suggestion immediately and laid the blame on white males instead, calling for the profiling and monitoring of caucasian men.
Well, statistically speaking, she's right.
Do you know how many other causes of death are a higher statistic probability than a terrorist attack?
...The annual chance of being killed by an animal was 1 in 1.6 million per year from 2008 through 2015. The chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack on U.S. soil was 1 in 30.1 million per year during that time. The chance of being murdered by a native-born terrorist was 1 in 43.8 million per year, more than twice as deadly as foreign-born terrorists at 1 in 104.2 million per year. The small chance of being murdered in an attack committed by foreign-born terrorists has prompted expensive overreactions that do more harm than good, such as the so-called Trump travel ban, but address smaller risks than those posed by animals...
...In addition to the data analyzed in the Forrester et al. paper, the CDC has mortality data for animals back to 1968. This period includes the 9/11 attacks, the deadliest terrorist attacks in world history, which helps to take account of the fat-tailed distribution of actual terrorist attacks. From 1975 through the end of 2016, 7,548 people have been killed by animals while 3,438 have been killed by all terrorists. Even during this time, the annual chance of being killed by an animal is far higher than being killed in a terrorist attack (Table 1).
Table 1 Annual Chance of Being Killed by Different Means, 1975-2016
Means of Death
There’s a video out there too if anyone can post it. Omar says we should be fearful of white men and they should be profiled.
Trump will take Minnesota. Hilarious
