Why is the media emphasizing….”white shooter”? Do they usually emphasize skin color?

Even Fox News won’t dare just refer to him as ‘the shooter’…..he’s a “white shooter” everywhere.

I wondered about that myself.

They ought to. I hate having to look it up, but often do.

If the shooter was black you definitely wouldn’t know without doing your own research. Weird huh?

That's all the media does is push division. Have you noticed they keep talking about the so called manifesto, and print parts of it, but never the actual document? And people stand in line to swallow it up!

It was a racially motivated shooting right?

Because of the shooter's own emphasis on the point. His internet writings are filled with racist replacement theory nonsense. It looks very much as if he killed those people because they were black.

For a race based crime, I doubt that the media could avoid mentioning the race of the perp vs the race of the majority of victims.

I'm just spit-ballin' here, but maybe the reason is that he was a white supremacist?

This is unfathomable for people like BrokeLoser in his mind there are no white suprematists…. There’s just white and wrong

Not anymore, except for Afrocentric names in the story. It isn't the most important thing of an incident, but it is quite often something in relation to an incident. Not mentioning it, does nothing but reflect bad reporting and brings attention of people like you.

Then how do you explain that he shot some whites, too??

We are not children.

We know that the media are run by very woke elements.

If people of ethnicity X are insulted or killed by Caucasian perps, then the ethnicity of the perps is always reported. It is done to emphasize how badly people of ethnicity X are still treated in this country.

But if the perps are of ethnicity X, the media suddenly become color blind. The media explain that they want to avoid stereotyping ethnicity X.

That is just how the cookie crumbles in 2022 America.

Here comes the white victimhood.

Social media has turned a spotlight on cases of racial discrimination. As the list of black citizens killed by nonblack officers grows, tensions between black communities and police are running high. "It's a nuanced problem but people continue to take a polarized view," says Jack Glaser, PhD, a social psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley. "It's not productive to demonize police."
