Folks, I thought this was an April Fool's joke when I read it yesterday, but I haven't found a retraction, so I have to assume it's real.
The names Jiverly Wong, Eduardo Scencion, Chai Vang, Sueng Chi Ho, Omar Shariff Thornton, Jennifer San Marco, Colin Ferguson, and Jing Hua Wu immediately jump to mind.

Mass-shootings are less than 1% of all murders.
Gangs commit the vast majority of murders.

IMAGINE if African-American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we'd have political debates demanding that African-Americans be "held accountable. Unthankfully, there is empirical proof of the truth or falsity of that contention.

Cool - so we can now start talking openly about race and crime stats?
lol... doubtful....

What? There is a mass murder by white guys month after month....how come we don’t hear about them?
Guess not because we do not hear about blacks killing blacks by the thousands every year either.

If “white maleness” causes mass murders,
then why aren’t there more mass murders?
So, the correlation fails.
Mental illness causes mass murders, correlation positive.

And there are even more. In fact, if you list them all, it’s yet another crime category in which minorities commit the crime at disproportionate levels, (and so is serial murder), while the white rate is proportional to the white population.

Another of N reasons (where N is a large number) why journalists should just leave math alone. It is not their friend. It is just too complicated for their diminutive minds to comprehend.
(Snarkiness aside, there exists a very good rebuke of this silliness - which involves pretty much the most simplistic approach one has to take when doing statistical analysis. I just saw it today and one can find it easily.)

“..IMAGINE if African-American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year...”
Imagine??? think Chicago, Detroit, and most every other major city!!

Black on black murders are through the roof. Imagine if the black population was equal to the whites.
And this fool of an author dares lectures us?

I guess they can conveniently forget the black guys who were shooting innocent people from the trunk of their car on the east coast?

White males commit 70% of mass murders
Whites are 60% of the US population
I would say this rate is pretty much proportional to population. Statistical noise.
I am not going to get into the high rate of “non-mass-murder” murders committed by black males, because there are about a million confounding factors and it is not useful to frame the problem in those terms.

Identity politics is a continuous inane argument of incorrect conclusions drawn from fallacious assumptions. Just about every statement in this incoherent rant is either an outright lie or a conclusion based on a lie.
To: South Hawthorne
Auburn Calloway from Memphis is notably left out. Had he succeeded he would have killed hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents. The New Orleans shooter, a racist named Mark Essex, killed numerous people before being machine gunned down back in January 1973. Who ever wrote this article is racist and looking for blame without facts.

Funny.
I guess people see what they want to see.
Seems to me the media and the government are very much set on singling out white men.
How many bills being proposed right now would have any effect what-so-ever on people who commit inner-city gun crimes?
How many bills being proposed right now would make criminals out of people who like to own and shoot semi-automatic rifles?
Which group is predominately white?
Take your time...
