The accusation of being white and straight males is pretty broad, but still makes more sense than blaming anime or video games. Perhaps we should force sunbaths and gay/bisexual orientation camps upon this group?To the OP, you forgot to include Trump and straight white men to the thread title. They get blamed for everything, also.
While I do not think games are the blame for violence, in fact I believe they can be an outlet for anger in some cases, I do not think President Trump actually thinks that either. I would bet that whoever writes his speeches or edits them must have added that in as their own opinion.

I hope not. I mean, when you are white you are white. Nothing can be done about it. A sunbath will only give you skin cancer... but actually that would increase skin cancer treatment revenues... perhaps they will really do it, depends on the lobby... in the end we all live in a lobbycracy after all.I hope none of the Democrats running for president read your post. That may turn into their main platform.

But of course, they are all blonde white anime characters from some video game.Are you trying to generalize "mass shooters" as a white, male thing? Because that would be pretty racist.

I mean, that picture you posted is full of super Saiyans.
Naah. I've got news media to do that for me. They never seem to report black gun nuts on this side of the ocean.Are you trying to generalize "mass shooters" as a white, male thing? Because that would be pretty racist.
@Hanafuda is probably referencing your statement of "The accusation of being white and straight males is pretty broad, but still makes more sense than blaming anime or video games." This almost sounds like you were saying that white straight males are most likely the blame which I agree that blaming people is better than blaming an inanimate object or concept such as guns, video games or movies, but they may have just thought you were pointing fingers at one group.Naah. I've got news media to do that for me. They never seem to report black gun nuts on this side of the ocean.
... But I'm off course talking about myself. Can't say why @morvoran brought it up.
lets not let this distract you from the fact that certain republicans (I said originally conservatives, but i know plenty of them that are sensible folks) are scapegoating shit.Don't forget "supremacists." Gotta fit that in there somewhere.

lets also not pretend that supremacists arent garbage in our society.
I'm really doubtful about that, because:Are you trying to generalize "mass shooters" as a white, male thing? Because that would be pretty racist.
I didnt know, that trump was part of the left:
The left being the only ones making the case is news to me.
Yes, never expect an Internet picture not to be fabricated and biased to make a point disregarding the facts.I'm really doubtful about that, because:
"The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 76.9%" and "African Americans total population: 14.1% of the total U.S. population (2017) " So then why do I mostly see black faces (I counted ≈63 out of 98 = ≈61.74?) The numbers are not adding up...maybe racists?
While your statement is true, this picture can be backed up with publicly available statistics.Yes, never expect an Internet picture not to be fabricated and biased to make a point disregarding the facts.
Yes, we do have a social problem and people here are crazy, but isn't this true for every country? As for mass shootings, this is not an issue that occurs only in America. Remember Christchurch in New Zealand? Plenty of others in multiple countries that do not get reported on.Anyway TBH I believe you Americans have a social problem, something in your society drives people shit crazy.
Not sure what you mean by "more white mass shooters" and "the average white person has more disposable income". Those statements sound extremely racist. To be truthful, more white mass shooters are being displayed on the news because it fits a certain parties agenda to attack people of a certain race to create fear and panic. If whites have more disposable income, why are there more black mass shooters in America? Asians have more disposable income than white people in America. Why are there not more Asian mass shooters in the media than whites?And then, regarding this last point, you might have more white mass shooters logically because let's be honest, it is easier for white people to obtain guns for several reasons, one of them: the average white person has more disposable income.
From your other point and including this one, guns are more available to criminals that can buy guns at a much lower price than retail or steal them. Also, they don't have the pesky background checks to deal with. Gun laws only assist in keeping guns out of trustworthy hands, so only criminals can get them. It doesn't matter if you're crazy or not if you can get around background check by going the black market route, you can find a way to get a gun.The availability of guns make it easier thereafter, but the problem of crazy comes before.
People always say one thing and do another, after all, who with any common sense these days would say "yeah I'm a racist!" These days you have to be secretly, and that's exactly what's been happening.
Racist how?Not sure what you mean by "more white mass shooters" and "the average white person has more disposable income". Those statements sound extremely racist.
Yes, but mass shooters are not known criminals usually, they are usually not very wise about black market and criminal life. They usually are your average citizen with a little of crazy.From your other point and including this one, guns are more available to criminals that can buy guns at a much lower price than retail or steal them.
