BLACK MASS SHOOTINGS: A Common But HIGHLY Ignored PLAGUE

Did You Know? 3 BLACK MASS SHOOTINGS Over The Easter Weekend!



Black mass shootings are not often widely discussed, for a few reasons that I will outline below. Yet they are a devastating and appalling manifestation of the virulent socio-pathology, cultural dysfunction, and maladaptive behaviors (i.e. extreme aggression) that can be found in certain black communities. For that reason, they deserve far more attention and scrutiny than they currently receive.


There were three mass shooting events this past Easter weekend and all of them involved black perpetrators and black victims. But whatever right? It isn’t headline news and I know why. People are more intrigued by the bone-chilling storyline of a lone-wolf white mass shooter who plans and calculates his slaughter for weeks or months and then callously executes his victims. I get it. When those shooters discharge their weapons, more people get killed because they are more precise and more focused on killing as many human beings as they can. Compared to mass shootings in the hood, mass shootings by psychopathic white males are simultaneously more disturbing, horrifying, spellbinding, and fascinating, and they make for more compelling news stories. That I will concede.

It is true that black mass shootings do not fit the paradigm of what most people imagine when they think “mass shooter.” But that fact does not diminish the horrifying wickedness of these savage paroxysms of violence. Black mass shootings are extremely heinous in their own right and deserve to be scathingly rebuked and condemned. Hotheaded blacks who commit incidental mass shootings are just as repugnant and reprehensible as solitary male white mass shooters. Both are menaces to societal safety and cohesion and both are unacceptable evils that gravely threaten civilized society.


People tend to dismiss the severity of black mass shootings because there are usually less fatalities than in white mass shootings. Because the bullets are flying from the thugs' weapons in a random and haphazard fashion, they miss their targets, but they injure more innocent people. When it comes to black mass shootings, the ghastliness of those events is not necessarily in the body count but rather in the unfeeling, selfish mentality of the shooters, who could care less about who is getting caught in their crossfire. The gunmen in these tragedies let bullets fly with total disregard for human life. Babies and small children could be present and these heartless thugs will still fire off multiple rounds. All they want to do is shoot and kill their target by any means necessary. These types of destructive shootings among blacks often occur in shopping malls, cookouts, clubs, bars, and house parties, and they are indicative of the social dysfunction that is present among them. These kinds of violent outbursts do not present themselves among all blacks of course, but they are prevalent among blacks of the urban variety who might be labeled as “savages,” "hittas," "street niggas," “gangstas,” “thugs,” or “hoodlums.”

Black mass shootings that take place due to beef among violent street gangs or due to arguments that spiral out of control are indicative of socio-behavioral pathologies that warrant serious attention and scrutiny. It is well known among all classes of blacks that lower classes of blacks cannot gather in large groups without causing trouble because their propensity for violence is so high. In fact, black people often joke about it amongst themselves. The wistful joke goes like this: “niggas can’t act right when they get together.” Is that offensive? Maybe. But it’s true. It is self-evident that when street thugs, goons, and other similar criminal-minded urban blacks congregate in a specific location, bloodshed and mayhem often ensue. There are countless examples of it and it is often what the media would call “senseless violence." In these gatherings, bullets start flying when there is even a small disagreement related to girls, money, drugs, or something as trivial as bumping into someone and spilling their drink.

The fundamental problem causing the epidemic of extreme violence among urban blacks is not poverty. It is a factor, sure, but it is not a primary cause. Blaming urban crime on destitution alone is the argument that liberals and social justice activists use to explain away black criminality and to absolve the perpetrators of any significant culpability.
