This kid in Oregon is mixed racial.

Sure the vast majority are white. Whites make up the majority of the population. What do you expect?

When you read this article, they make it about race. Dylann Roof's killings were racial, clearly. But you can't prove any of these other killings had anything to do with racism. Not every single crime in America is racially-motivated. Sorry to break that reality to you.

Yeah, there are a lot of psycho white people out there with guns! Guess what...there are a bunch of psycho black people out there with guns too. Go to Baltimore or Chicago and you'll see it for yourself.

Sorry but I prefer to concentrate on serious social psychology articles, discussions, and papers concerning these important topics. Not focus on buzz words and shock headlines that push everything into a debate about racism so it drives up their click counts.
