As a black male growing up in the south you are exposed to country music. here is an artist I'm currently bumping

First of all if your going to quote me "quote me correctly." I stated "that shooter could've waited for a black event to pull off his killing spree." What part of "could've" don't you understand? An yes it could happened anywhere thousands could assemble and a shooter could setup with a clear view the area. Hell look at Orlando last year, those people were inside a building, so yeah anywhere, anytime any people.
The big difference here is this was a white man killing white people en masse. An I'm guessing at this point you feel this event is some type of retribution that somehow helps offset some of the past. It doesn't even come close!
My previous response had nothing to do with race it was totally about this event. I've never believed in wrong for wrong or applauded evil.
Lastly I did say "I do understand why black empathy is not there, it doesn't belong there. Whites have earned the prevailing attitudes towards them that exist today. But I can't ignore the event that happened. One day you'll either understand or you'll just simply never ever get it.
As for this massacre or any that may come its just a continuation of white people's murderous history of what whites have done since their arrival on this continent. Yeah we've caught hell for centuries but what about the Indians. From Plymouth Rock to California no people have lost more. So we're not alone in our struggle. Right now we're watching the people of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands being shitted on. In this country unless your white its a struggle.
No sympathy or empathy is ever given when unarmed black people are murdered. Now the shoe is on the over foot it’s all “let’s come together, it’s not about black and white, left or right.” GTFO.
Please stop acting like “we should be better than them and show humanity blah blah.” All that forgiveness and humanity shit has gotten black people NO WHERE.
I’m sorry for any black people who got caught up in the crossfire. Anyone else who was a victim... life goes on for me.

I echo some of the sentiments here but I am hue-man and feel for the loss of life. Someone's family is no more bc of this, a child with no father or mother is a cruel fate. but one cant help but notice how the treatment of this event goes on in the news/media. the wording ad description of this white on white terrorism is never mentioned even though thats what it was. so I cant say that i dont care, bc i do but i have to prioritize my people and helping them first. you wont go to an asian board nor a jewish board see them arguing about who cares the most or how they care...we all human and have some level of expectation of safety at these venues or gatherings but arguing with each other over the level of fucks to give is not going to help either problem. it is what it is. lets try to get our communities together and make them safer so this stuff doesnt happen at one of our concerts or events.
this is a lot to type so im going to try to make it brief.Here is my reasoning behind the civilian possession of a large capacity magazine style rifle. (laying the foundation for my scenario) The term assault rifle is a misnomer and guns are a tool, just like a hammer. the key problem to your argument is that criminals dont obey the law. they will do whatever they want. during prohibition, alcohol was legal. Criminals still found a way to manufacture, distribute, and consume alcohol. drugs are C1/C2 narcotics are illegal in this country, yet, miraculously, they still find a way to get into this country and to our communities. actual scenario: if someone break into your home with your family and you only have a legal 9mm pistol with 17 rounds and they have an AK47. odds are you will lose. if they break into your home with a 9MM pistol and you have an AK47, odds are, they will lose. if both parties have ak47s then homefield advantage shifts the odds in your favor assuming all tings being equal. Now i will tell you as a person who has personally face the business end of an ak 47....there is no way for you to beat criminals with lesser fire power than they have. i have learned through hard earned real life experience that superior firepower beats everything and timing in a real gunfight matters...reloading costs milliseconds which costs lives in a real gunfight. i have personally seen police officers take fully automatic ak47s from criminals who never should have had them bc they are illegal. In a perfect world, the law would work for al people equally ad protect them. but we do not live in a perfect world. we live in a world where YOU are responsible for the sfaety and well being of your family, not the cops, not the law, and no one else will fight for your family like you would. I will never ever succeed an advantage to anyone that would threaten my family no matter who they are. if there are coming at me with a pistol i want a battle rifle, if they come at me with a rife, i want a machine gun. I want the very best protection that I can harness for my family's protection. Most people who say that civilians should never have "assault rifles" didnt read the second amendment very carefully. THESE TYPE OF WEAPONS ARE TO BE USED AS A LAST DEFENSE EFFORT AGAINST TYRANNY..not hunting, not sport shooting. if you dont think there are evil people in this world that will kill you, your family, and others without a thought, then you are incredibly naive and sheltered...you are lucky bc you dont believe and may have never seen that level of violence but for those of us who have, rest assured, that people who dont believe in gun violence are protected by those of us who do and have seen it up close and personal. the only way to stop that measure of violent malevolent force is equal force in the hands of a just individual who is armed and trained to use it. long story short: its simple mathematics. 18 = 18, 30 > 18, in a one for one round exchange, you will lose. my family means too much to me to take that chance and not meet a threat with equal, if not overwhelming force should the need arise. Ill listen to any argument regarding gun violence but we need to address the issue of the people using the weapons. if you outlaw the possession of civilian gun ownership then you just unleveled the life changing playing field to the advantage of those who would not obey they law. I had AR15 before i sold it (upgraded to a bigger round, mo stopping power), i wish i never did bc i see more and more everyday how unstable the world is becoming and unreliable our assigned legal system is. The truth is, people who would cry..outlaw these weapons, most have never faced an individual armed with intent to kill you using those same weapons that you just took out of the hands of the person who could have saved you. you might not believe in God or the second amendment but at 3AM when 2 armed criminal break into your home, you WILL CALL SOMEONE WITH A GUN AND PRAY that they get there in time.
Dude, stop being petty about quoting you "correctly." I paraphrased exactly what you said. I used the quote feature to quote verbatim, not retyping what you said. I'm telling you that your entire "could've" point is moot. Firstly, because it has historically been us being targeted by them. Secondly, because most modern mass shootings are them targeting each other. Either way, the OP is about what DID happen, not what COULD'VE happened.
You pulled that guess straight out your ass. Because I never said or suggested anything of a sort. You literally just made that shit up from scratch.
Well, the OP does address race. So, if your response had nothing to do with race, it has nothing to do with the OP. And what does "wrong for wrong" have to do with anything. Surely, you're not comparing apathy or indifference about a slaying to the act of slaying itself? Your equivocations are bananas, b. You're confusing apathy with antipathy.
One day you'll learn to posit a cogent point that's not logically circular and self-contradictory, but apparently that day's not today. Who said anything about ignoring the event? The question is ABOUT the events in the context of the very same conditions created by white people, which you claim to understand causes negative attitudes about white people. Your argument eats itself.
Did you miss the "Natives" in "Bruh... historically speaking it usually HAS been Black people (and Natives) getting wiped out but white shooters."
And just for the record, yes, Natives have been slaughtered by the white man, as well, but Natives also enslaved us like the white man. There were Black slaves traveling with their Native masters on the Trail of Tears, too. Black people were bastardized by their family's tribes that refused them membership, despite having owned their ancestors. So, even though we could extend sympathies to them, it would be understandable if we did not. Still, not even they oppressed us to the extent that white people did/do. Bearing those facts in mind when processing white suffering is not "two wrongs."Just for the record...one Black Vegas police officer was shot and killed.
Sad situation all around.
Sad situation all around.
Yeah man at the end of the day I'm a human being. I may not agree with a lot of those people politically but as the late great Notorious BIG said "I don't wish death on anyone because it ain't no coming back from that"
