CNN's Don Lemon On Gun Control: Should We Start Profiling White Men? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27108298 12/23/2012 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mass Murders in the USA in the past 10 years (December 2003-December 2012 by Race and number killed) (Only if 4 or more people died) I started compiling this list after hearing of David Sirota’s article “Time to Profile White Men?” and seeing him on CNN talking about how most of the mass murders that have happened are done by white men. ( [link to www.salon.com] In short, he claims that he is against profiling, and it is wrong that Blacks and Muslims have been profiled (due to their overly proportional involvement in drug dealing and terrorism, respectively, which he does not really discuss, as far as I’ve seen). He says that Whites should be equally subject to profiling due to their overly proportional involvement in shooting massacres, and that conservatives will push back against this, due to their “WHITE VICTIMIZATION MYTHOLOGY.” While I agree with the MEN part (as all but one of these killings in the last 10 years has been done by a man), I disagreed with the WHITE part, as I recalled several Black and Asian men committing massacres as of late. I tried my best to list all of the killing sprees (where 4 or more people died) that have occurred in the last 10 years (using only FRESH data, as the racial demographics of the USA are changing literally every moment). Please let me know if there are any errors or names to add: 2003-07-08 Douglas Williams – 7 killed – White 2004-07-06 Elijah Brown – 6 killed – Black 2004-09-24 Chai Vang – 6 killed – Asian 2005-03-12 Terry Ratzmann – 7 killed – White 2005-03-21 Jeff Weise – 10 killed – Native American 2006-01-??

(Vitiligo) 2012-10-21 Radcliffe Haughton – 4 killed – Black 2012-12-14 Adam Lanza – 28 killed – White Final totals: White: 25.5 Black: 12 Asian: 7 Hispanic: 2.5 Arab/Muslim: 2 Native American: 1 Total: 50 Percentage by Race of the killers: White: 25.5/50 = 51% Black: 12/50 = 24% Asian: 7/50 = 14% Hispanic: 2.5/50 = 5% Arab/Muslim: 2/50 = 4% Native American: 1/50 = 2% Total: 100% Percentage of Race by USA population White (non hispanic): 63.4% Black: 13.1% Asian: 5% Hispanic: 16.7% Arab/Muslim ~0.5% Native American~1.2% Total 99.9% Conclusion: Whites (as well as Hispanics) are actually UNDER-represented in the numbers of spree killer/mass murderers in the last 10 years. Blacks and Asians are OVER-represented in this category. The Native American and Arab/Muslim populations are too small for me to make any assessments. This is also shows a wonderful example of how American schools are failing in the mathematics department compared to other countries’ schools. They use outmoded data (culling from FAR back when the USA was almost entirely white, for many of their massacre examples) and, more importantly, they look at the numbers NOMINALLY (by the raw number amounts) and not RELATIVELY (by percentage comparisons). This shows Don Lemon, David Sirota, et al. are either consciously racist, by using “fuzzy math” and the amount of news coverage a particular massacre gets, to formulate their conclusions... or are just plain ignorant (by ignorant, I am using the classical definition, meaning “lacking knowledge” and not the modern definition of ignorant, “YOU’RE A GREAT BIG MEANIE!”). ~~~ |
