Would there really be more mass shootings? Aren't most mass shootings gang violence between ethnic minorities?

CE's definition of mass shooting is when a white boy takes an AR and goes apeshit on a crowd of people.

They don't count the times a black guy shoots a pistol or a draco to a crowd because that is gang violence and that is different.

The gang shit usually isn't tied to as many casualties because I think 1)they can't aim 2)a lot of them use pistols and 3) I think the point is more intimidation or revenge than a big kill count and the shooters aren't trying to get caught so they can't be as thorough

Basically one is usually more tied to dope or other ill gotten means and one is more tied to mental insanity and the latter is honestly more interesting to the news so that is what people like talking about

The unfair treatment comes from racism, or other bigotry, not minority status. It also suggests that whoever is in power is going to treat whoever the minority is unfairly simply because they're not the majority. And if that's the case, white people should be concerned.

Now, you can make an argument about the ability of the majority to treat the minority unfairly because there's less of them, but people who post that aren't making that point.

let's look at south africa, which is predominantly black, and how the minority white group is treated there

You mean how most of them live in luxury while apartheid decimated most of the natives living there??

Yep

The natives were decimated by another tribe shortly before the Dutch arrived. The Dutch were among the best farmers in the world and fed an enormous number of people, hence the population explosion in SA.

So the dutch conveniently strolled in and out of the goodness of their hearts taught Africans how to farm and thus helped them thrive right??

So how come they are not thriving?

The Africans and Zulus were thriving before the Dutch came. They had they in cattle and farming system. And they were prosperous amounts themselves. The Dutch didn't teach anyone how to farm.

it's hard to take people seriously when they don't consider nuance, cause & effect and try to edit parts of the timeline out.

too disingenuous and uninformed to be this talkative and opinionated, lmao

Im sure.

But according to tennisdude the African tribes decimated themselves and the dutch strolled in and helped the survivers with their mad farming skills
