Time to bust a false, racist steretype that the media has pushed for years, and has surprisingly come again with a man who had a shootout at a Chase Bank and a planned parenthood in Colarodo, killing 3.
According to the media, Game of Thrones is pretty true to life in that white men apparently are highly inclined to murder, particularly flipping out and mass murder.
It's an accepted fact by most, something the media assures us is true.
And utterly false.
Are white men represented in the group of people who flip out, become evil psychopaths, and gun down random innocents? Yes.
Are they the majority--is it their "thing"? No, it's not, despite media lies. The original, most infamous school shooting was Columbine, perpetuated by several white males. But as the years went on, other racial groups happily jumped on the bandwagon of mass shootings. Consider some relatlively recent USA shootings that somehow did not interrupt the bigoted stereotype of "white men do mass shootings": (Keep in mind--when a person has one white parent and one parent of a different race, they don't count as white. Otherwise, Barack Obama and Halley Berry are white.)
Chicago, April 26, 2003: Mexican immigrant Salvador Tapia murdered six employees at a packing factory.
April 16, 2007: Virginia Tech. a South Korean student named Seung-Hui Cho murdered 32 innocent people and wounded 17 others in the deadliest school shooting in US history.
2009: Fort Hood, Texas: arab Nidal Malik Hasan, a major in the US Army, murdered 13 of his fellow soliders.
April 3, 2009: Jiverly Antares Wong: Vietnamese immigrant who murdered 13 people in Binghamton New York.
Hartford, Conneticut. August 3, 2010. A black male named Omar Thorton went to work, and shot and killed eight innocent white coworkers.
September 6, 2011, Carson City, Nevada: Mexican immigrant Eduardo Sencion shot up an Ihop and murdered 4 people. Three of whom were National Guardsmen.
April 15, 2013, Boston. Two Chechen immigrants, the Tsarnaev brothers, literally blew up the Boston Marathon.
September 16, 2013: Aaron Alexis, a black man, carried out a mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, murdering 12 people.
May 23, 2014, Isla Vista California. A biracial man named Elliot Rodger (Asian mother, caucasian father) shot and killed six innocent people.
August 2015, Virginia: Vester Lee Flanaga, a black man, murdered two his former white coworkers in cold blood on camera.
October 1, 2015, Roseburg Oregon: a biracial man named Chris Harper-Mercer (caucasian father, black mother) murdered nine innocent people at a college.
If you want to go international and bring up Europe or Australia... keep in mind Charlie Hebdo, and the Paris theater massacre.
Do whites carry out mass murders? Yes. It does happen. There are plenty of white criminals, and the FBI says for 2012, for instance, about 2500 white on white homcides occured.
Are white men particularly inclined to murder or mass murder? Is it our thing? HELL no.
Time to put a bigoted, racist stereotype in the ground. We caucasian men aren't perfect angels by any means, but we are not particularly inclined to be murderers or mass murderers. Like everyone else, we have the right to sit back in peace, and only be held accountable for our own actions, not false crimes drummed up by the media.

Mexicans and Arabs can very well be white. I saw a white Arab with red hair cut a man's head off.
Anyway, white mass murders outnumber any other race. Doesn't mean other races don't commit mass murders. They do, but they are still outnumbered. Hence why the media hypes it up so much. They wouldn't if it didn't occur so much.
And what the hell does GOT have to do with this? I haven't seen the show, but I'm really confused there.
Can you provide any sources that say caucasians actually are the majority of mass shooters? Or is that just your impression from media sources?
Under US government categorization, "whites" includes all arabs. But, we know that there's quite a different between, say, Syrians and white Brits.
And GOT is there because I understand basics of marketing and making humor points. And GOT has a lot of white people.
Dude I can literally think of some off the top of my head. Just google it. Adam Lanza. James Holmes. The dude who killed those black folks in SC. That's three off the top of my head. No google or anything.
No they aren't always different. An Arab is a religious group. It's not a race. You can be an Arab if you want to.
Basics of marketing? Yeah they wanna make money off a great story. Wasn't GOT novels at first?
And I just listed 13 mass murders in the last 12 years that were by non-whites... including the deadliest school shooting in US history.
Do you have an actual source that shows white men are the majority of mass murderers? Or are you just proving my point that the media has brainwashed people into thinking white men are mass murderers?
Arab isn't a religion, lmao. Arab/arabian is a race, or maybe ethnicity if you like. There's no "church of arab" lmao. Islam is a religious group, maybe that's what you mean?
You had to google all of those. I named some off the top of my head. Without much thought at all lol.
Again I never said non-whites don't do mass murders.
Lol sources? So you took time to google instances in which non-whites have committed murder and now you want me to do the same? Nope. You asked for examples I gave you some.
Proving my point *exactly*.
White Dylan Roof murdered 8 people based on racist hate and the media trumpeted it, houses of congress talked about it... Black Omar Thorton murdered 8 whites based on racist hate and the media didn't care. I bet you'd have to ask 100 adults to find one who knows his name.
White mass shootings are trumpeted and put on every front page as examples of "white men are messed up mass murderers" while mass murder by other races is dropped and buried.
Arab is a religious group and it's before Islam. I literally googled Arab lol. How plain can you get?
Sure the media blows it up, but white mass murders are still more common in the US.
Or at least it "pre-dates the spread of Islam". It's an identity based on Islam. In any case it's not a genetic group lol.
Saying that white mass murders are well known and non-white mass murders are buried merely proves my point... that the media has an agenda to push that whites commit most mass murders.
You, for example, are arguing that is true based on the media covering white mass murders and ignoring non-white mass murders. Which both shows their success in pushing their agenda and the fact that most people don't consider things. You didn't bother find any real stats, but you believe what you have been taught to believe.
Simple example--Trayvon Martin being shot by a hispanic made the news, and the entire nation knows those names.
How many people heard about the November 22, 2015 shootings at Bunny Friend Park, New Orleans? A crowd gathered, filmed a music video, and black gangs had a shootout. 17 people shot.
But whites DO commit most mass murders in the US.
Okay then. Okay then. Here.

Now that's a whole list of just mass murders in general, so that includes other races but you can count them. Mostly white.
Again I didn't say the media doesn't blow up the racism stuff, but you're trying to deny that whites commit most mass murders in the US. That's my issue.
Since whites are still the majority in the US, why would this be surprising?
@zagor I don't know. Ask the mytake owner.
Leave Game of Thrones out of your bullshit propaganda. It deserves better than that...
See, this is the hostile, anti-white sentiment I'm talking about, even when people are presented with the facts.
The same could be said about Indian men and how the media portrays us all as rapists.
In the US, I think the media mainly stereotypes that Indian men either work at call centers or as tech/engineers.
Yeah but in the news all they show about India is rape cases.
