I hope you aren't serious. Another one to feed the ever growing flame of hate, just great.

Pro-tip: If someone says something controversial and they have <1 post a day then they are almost assuredly trying to stir crap. They are best to ignore.

Beforen I would agree but thanks to a lot of poster of gaf I learned that racism was prejudice + power.

It's a hate crime but not racism because it lacks the power element of it.

Wouldn't having a gun and the other person not having a gun create a strong imbalance of power between the two people?

RIP to the victims. I wish we'd stop broadcasting the names and photos of the shooters, a lot of them I think do it for the pathetic attention.

That's not what people usually mean when they bring up the power difference in racism.

Damn, one of my acquaintances from undergrad was good friends with one of the people murdered.

Small fucking world.

Yep. There are power structures with power structures, but you are supposed to ignore that for some reason.

Fuck right off with this if you're stupid enough to actually believe it. You are part of the problem with this line of thinking.

Damn tragic, my heart and prayers goes out to the families of those that lost loved ones. My coworker's family member knew one of the victims, so damn sad.
