Is Straight White Privillege to Blame for all the Mass Murders?

A Rutgers professor, who teaches Women's and Gender Studies and African Studies, thinks so.

"Welp. Another young white guy has decided that his disillusionment with his life should become somebody else’s problem," she wrote. “How many times must troubled young white men engage in these terroristic acts that make public space unsafe for everyone before we admit that white male privilege kills?”
“Black men are not rolling onto college campuses and into movie theaters on a regular basis to shoot large amounts of people. Usually, the young men who do that are white, male, heterosexual, and middle-class,” she added.
quote:
Naturally, she included racism as part of her screed, pointing a crooked finger of blame at those who disagree with Barack Obama.
"In this regard, the rage at the core of Rodger’s horrific acts is not unlike the kind of middle class, heterosexual, white male rage that drives much of social policy in this country," she wrote, taking a swipe at straight, white males. "In the era of Barack Obama, we have endured a mass temper tantrum from white men that includes a mind-boggling war on women, with an unprecedented rollback of the gains of the women’s rights movement, and an attempt to decimate whole communities of color, which are disproportionately poor, through school privatization, mass incarceration (which began long before the Obama era) and the gutting of the social safety net."
quote:
I’m also saying that white male privilege might be considered a mental health issue, because it allows these dudes to move through the world believing that their happiness, pleasure and well-being matters more than the death and suffering of others," she added.
quote:
She also excoriated the police, claiming their inaction was due to Rodger's skin color.
"Can I go ahead and scream yet? A black or brown man would have been violently hauled into a jail and locked up at the first sign of such machinations. His property rights would have been thoroughly violated, and no matter how 'polite' and 'courteous' he might have been with officers, no reports would have reflected such language," she wrote.
quote:
She concluded with a statement calling for some sort of unspecified action against "white privilege."
"As yet another community attempts to make sense of this tragedy, to put itself back together again after this needless, senseless path of destruction that Elliot Rodger has wrought, I’m reminded of something my dad says: 'These are funerals we didn’t have to have.' But as long as America refuses to deal with its white male privilege problem we will continue to have them," she said.
Take her job IMO.

Haven't all of the shooters been on Rx drugs?
Anyway, none of the shootings are real, they're elaborate fabrications to push agendas.

It's interesting to think about the demographics. But let's be frank, minorities are doing just as much/more killing just instead of mass shootings it's gang/drug violence. And isn't going to get the pub of a Hollywood exec's kid.

Black on black crime also doesn't get the same attention.
Homeboy shooting up a bunch of people in the ghetto might make 30 seconds on the local news, or totally ignored, it doesn't get the national attention of the white kid who goes off the handle.

But really, haven't all of these kids been on some kind of strong psychotropic drugs?

I'm a little ignorant here, please educate me.
White Male Privilege - is that the thing that puts me last in line for a job or contract with the government behind women and minorities?

Probably. I will say the one whose letter got posted on here awhile back admitted that he stopped taking what the psych had prescribed him and was "self medicating".

As the article states she also ignores both fort hood shooters and the VT shooter. They weren't black tho so who cares.

I guess if Sterling lost his BB team, Mozilla CEO lost his, both for saying shite not in line with the wishes of the PC police this hag should be toast.

Right. I just meant when you consider the difference in types of crime and those commonly committing them. Serial killers tend to be white males, 20-40, etc (at least here in the US) for example. Why is that? Like I said earlier, others are killing as well. From a psych standpoint though, it's interesting to compare who commits what though.

She brings a valid point.

Mass murderers are roughly reflective of the general population with respect to race. Which is surprising as few as there are. But there it is.

I hope your at the library, that IP address is a mutha when the PC police come looking for people who need remedial indoctrination.

Or just off them. But same nexus.
Also, most have listened to violent music and played violent video games.
I'm not making causal links. Just noting similarities.
