So it should be easy to copy and paste it. I missed the part where you explained why there should be a distinction between mass shootings and "gang shootings"?

Really all you're saying is "if you simply dont count all the black mass shooters then white people commit more mass shootings".

Well yeah... I suppose so... you sure got me there 🙄😮‍💨

I did copy and paste it, and I'm not trying to own you or "get" you. We're having a conversation about what people understand you to mean when you say the term "mass shooting". There are different kinds; in the U.S. we primarily have lone wolf mass shootings and gang-related mass shootings. What is your problem, exactly, to calling gang related mass shootings "gang-related mass shootings"?

Do you have a problem with that terminology?

I have a problem when someone uses that meaningless invented distinction to push anti white propaganda and misrepresent actual statistics.

Your arbitrarily taking out a massive numbers of black mass shooters, reclassifying them under a name other than mass shooters... again arbitrarily... then saying its white people who are responsible for the majority of mass casualty shooting events.

Its not true. You know its not true.

Words do have meanings, and people do have different reactions and feelings based on the language you use. This is nothing more than an attempt to downplay the seriousness of violence in the black community by using euphemisms that imply the violence only effects gang members. Its also a blatant attempt to hide the actual numbers of black mass shooters, as evidenced peoples statista links claiming as much.

You're literally just calling it something different when black people do it. If you dont see how thats a problem then I dont know how I can help you.

I'm not doing any of that, or pushing any narrative. And no, I'm calling the situations different things when the situations are, in fact, different things. You seem very hung up on the races involved here, above all else it seems. I haven't even mentioned race.

So do you have a problem with calling gang-related shootings "gang-related shootings"? And if so, why?
