I would just like to point out that in these cases you don't usually find a woman drove them to it so I would like to make a big leap here and say these mass murderers wouldn't go off killing a bunch of people if they got lucky every once and awhile. I'm just sayin'...
there are a few threads i came across in the past few months (searching ...) that linked to a chart where white-on-white crime was slightly larger than black-on-black crime (something like 92 % compared to 89 %).
and supposedly, 2014 is the first year where crimes in non-suburban/urban areas is greater than crimes in urban/suburbs (searching for the thread).
Hey!
The O.P. has a agenda lets not ruin it with education and facts.

Well step up to the plate and take one for the team.
Its the fact that people are told all their lifes as children that they are special. Most of this generation had never seen war and deaths like those before. They tend in many cases to accumulate grievances to point where they act. Often like suicide its pushed to edge by drugs and alcohol in many cases. if you as to violent striking out it may vary as to type but all races tend to do it.
Name me one Black community where, the Unemployment rate is low, and jobs are plentiful.
Oh and there is still Black on Black crime.
Chicago and Detroit in the 80's does not count.
NYC.
I work for major fortune 500 company in midtown manhattan and many of my co-workers are black. These same black associates come from crime ridden neighborhoods such as Brownsville Brooklyn and the South Bronx. The difference between the black individuals who work with me and those who are crying about there not being enough opportunities is one thing. Those who chose to go to and finish school and those who chose the "street life"
Because the shootings by young black men are usually considered Gang or Drugs related.
Just that past weekend, someone opened fire on a party in Detroit, I believe up to 10 people were wounded and one or two dead.
This however did not get classified as "mass shooting". Because doing this would derail from the main purpose of talking about "mass shootings" - trying to push through ever stricter gun control while doing nothing to solve the real issues related to violence in th US.
Every year, around 20 people die in "mass shootings" that fall under "approved" criteria.
In really bad years, probably 2-3 times as much.
In a typical year, there's around 8 -10 thousand murders.
The "mass shootings" are but a tiny drop in the bucket. And there's far more crimes prevented by legally armed citizens than there's victims of mass shootings.
However, there's common sense, and then there's political agenda.

How about these facts. The white population in this country stands at around 75% while the black populations is around 12%. The fact that there's only about a 3% difference in white on white crime vs black on black crime is disturbing in itself!

Best argument I've heard yet. I said the same about the Middle East terrorists, if they could see a bikini, eat a slice of bacon or two, and have a few beers, they might not want to go on a killing rampage.
