Why Are So Many White Men So Stupid?

money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
Sunday’s shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, was one of the deadliest mass shootings in Texas state history. It comes only a month after the shooting massacre in Las Vegas, where another white man, Stephen Paddock, opened fire on concertgoers, killing 59 people, including himself. The majority of mass shootings are carried out by white men. For more on the connections between race, white supremacy and mass shootings, we speak to George Ciccariello-Maher, political science professor at Drexel University and the author of “Decolonizing Dialectics.” He was banned from campus after questioning why mass shootings in the United States are almost always carried out by white men.

And what might be going on today in our country, in which people are stoking a sort of victim complex among white men? You know, what might be happening today to encourage this kind of behavior and to radicalize these kind of actions?

And yet we act surprised when these people have breaks, when they fall into some kind of crisis, when they find maybe feelings of entitlement frustrated, that they then resort to violence, when we’re talking about a structure and institutional apparatus that trains people in violence and that encourages them to feel as though they’re on the losing side of history. You know, Trump makes hay out of the fact that white men, in particular, feel as though they’re the victims of this society, despite being in absolute control of it. And this is something that is powerfully dangerous, and it’s why we’re not seeing only the rise in violent attacks, more generally, and the rise of far-right movements, but we’re certainly seeing, you know, clearly, sort of some very serious incidents of mass violence, as well.

Mass killings are rare, but they're almost always perpetrated by men, not women. And white men make up the vast majority of men in this country. So there you go.
Perhaps a better question would be why do *black* men commit disproportionately so much violent crime? When you make up 13 percent of the men and 40 percent of the murderers, that's strange, isn't it? This is a question that's worth asking, too.

Black men kill each other 1(or 2) at a time. White men kill 50 people at a time. The numbers might be high for black crime but the body count is probably similar.

GO HOME SAN JOSE GUY YOU'RE DRUNK!!!!!!
If you can't get 'manhood' via employment, you get it with a gun. Males are that way. I've done things which could have put me in prison for life.

But back to the original question, why are so many white men so stupid? Whey do they see themselves as victims when they remain the ones the most power?
What say you SJG?
you couldn't hang Sanjoselloydschoene by the testicles, he doesn't have any, his wife took them when she left his ass.
What is your point? Are arguing that white men are better and more efficient killers? The racism on this board has run amok.
Can't you be a bit more sensitive during these violent times.
For the record, I don't think black men are predisposed to violence. But when someone makes a claim that's so obviously false, as SJG did, it helps to look at the statistics.
The good news is that crime in America is on a long-term down-trend, stemming all the way back to the 18th century. Crime spiked a lot during prohibition, and again from the 60s to the 90s, but it seems to be declining nicely again, despite endless claims to the contrary and the occasional uptick.
you missed one hiding in his mommy's basement in san jose
For 8 years, Obama promoted racial identity as the cause of everything. He declared that whites were racist and everyone else was a victim. Is it any wonder that there was a backlash ? How’d that work out for the Dems in the last election ?
-----------------
This such breathtaking stupidity, @Mark93.
Because standardized tests are racially biased against us.
Think I'll go start a thread asking "Why are fucking niggers so fucking stupid?"

Did he actually say that? I must have missed it. I don't like Obama either, but I think if he ever actually said something so ridiculous it would have made headlines everywhere.
A better question to ask when it comes to mass shootings is what can we do to prevent another? Are these shooters mentally disturbed and violent? In the last case, the Air Force failed to notify the FBI about his criminal history or he might have had trouble buying a gun. I haven't verified the info but I thought I heard that today. FYI, mentally disturbed and violent can be female as well. I read about a female who failed to commit murder because she didn't realize the safety was on or something like that. I believe I read South Carolina updated database requirements so that mentally disturbed people lists were shared with other states and organizations. I thought I read not all states enforce requirements or share all data on everyone or something like that. I believe in the right of legal citizens to protect themselves but not necessarily for mentally disturbed violent people to bear arms.
@Rockstar can't even spell condem (SIC) correctly.
We can discourage people from putting up signs that say "gun-free zone." With a sign like that, you might as well also put up a sign that says "Hey, nutcases, guess what? Everyone inside is disarmed! Feel free to come in and shoot us!"
We can also make it easier for people to have concealed guns. Yes, even in a church. If at least one person had been armed inside the church it might have stopped this guy sooner.
Would any of this have stopped the shooter in Texas? I don't know. But it would prevent lots of other mass shootings in other states. It's already legal for people to carry in a church in Texas, but the church itself can forbid it (which sounds fair). The bigger problem is probably that people would choose to leave their guns at home before going to church regardless. As an atheist, I would like to think that being able to protect oneself in the here-and-now is more important than listening to an hour of fire-and-brimstone. Choose the gun, skip the church.
You also said "I believe in the right of legal citizens to protect themselves but not necessarily for mentally disturbed violent people to bear arms."
Prohibiting the mentally ill from buying guns sounds completely unconstitutional. Half of Americans have a psychiatric diagnosis. Are we going to prohibit all of them from exercising their constitutional rights? And besides, if you have to go through a background check and ask for permission, then it's a privilege, not a right. And that's definitely not the intent of the constitution.
The signs were launched through a coordinated 4chan campaign, whose users spelled out their “game plan” on the anonymous Internet forum board instructing people to post the signs on campuses to prompt the media to go “completely berserk.”
The ultimate goal was to show what 4chan users called “normies” that “leftists & journalists hate white people,” in turn prompting these middle-of-the-road folks to turn on them in a “massive victory for the right in the culture war.”
Remember Michael Douglas in Falling Down, he always paid for the stuff he got from fast food and retail stores. That, to someone like that, is all this world is about.

This is a large - free - country - and it’s important that it remains free.
The race of the killer shouldn’t matter. Because if race matters here - then it must matter in each killing. So a white guy killing people in church matters - and a black guy killing people matters - and an Arab guy killing others must also matter. It’s a very viscous cycle - making a correlation over each killers race - and determining the racial implications of every killing.
If you are smart enough to know the motivations and racial implications of each killers actions - I’d suggest you are too intelligent to be on this site!
