In Buffalo yesterday, another insecure white boy committed a horrific mass shooting after getting radicalized on the internet in less than 2 years. Similar to prior shooters, he also wrote a 180 page manifesto, parts of which I’ve screenshot below.
We’ve always had the radicalization of youth who can’t discern between lies and truth, but the internet and guns make it happen much faster, and deadlier.
It’s not mental illness. It’s not the violent video games, or the violent movies.
It’s the radicalization.
Then add Tucker Carlson and right wing politicians who don’t care about gun regulations promoting the racist Replacement Theory, or blasting CRT on mainstream news channels, and you have a recipe for more mass shootings.
It’s not a gun problem. It’s a societal problem, and one that only white people can help fix.
How?
White parents need to talk to their kids about what it means to be white in America.
In case you haven’t noticed, being a white person in America is different than it was 20-30 years ago. And very different than 50 years ago. Their place in society is not what it once was, and that takes some adjustment for a lot of people who thought it was still the same, or don’t want it to change.
Black people can’t teach what that means to white people. Latinos can’t teach it to white people.
I wish there was an easier way, but white people MUST talk about race and politics with their kids if we’re ever gonna make an improvement in America’s race relations.
Ignoring racial issues, or saying you’re colorblind doesn’t help anyone.
White kids are growing up confused about their place in American society, and they don’t know where to go for answers, so they go on 4chan and 8chan and by then it’s too late.

DO YOU SEE THE PATTERN YET OR ARE YOU STILL “COLORBLIND”??
