Fact is two idiots went around shooting people for no good reason. Why does everyone have to make everything about race?

Fact is two guys went around shooting black people because they were black. That is what happened.

These men went after and targeted people of a specific race. That's not "everyone", that is them. They made it about race. Also, check this out. Until they were caught there had been fears of a serial killer. It would be nice to know exactly what type of people they are killing. They were targeting black people. Thus, it would probably be nice to let people be aware of this.

All the victims were black. They got killed because they were black. Do you just want ignore what happened just because you hate the race aspect? It seems to be a fad on ATS to criticize people about bringing attention to race even when it is a vital aspect of what actually went on and why it happened.

ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME!?!?

Call it what you will, there's an obvious racial element here. Whether a man is of mix raced, white, black, orange - whenever that man commits mass murder based on skin colour only, thats a clear cut hate crime. It's a tragedy, and a racially motivated one. Why would England's alleged mixed-native ancestry make him not racist? Or susceptable to white nationalist beliefs? Hell, there are white supremecist, white nationalists groups operating in Israel - folks who are only allowed to live in Israel based on their Jewish ethnicity.

This is a growing problem, people. Ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist isn't going to make it go away.

It has EVERYTHING to do with race. Those two 'guys' were targetting a specific race. Need I spell it out more clearly how race is a factor here?
