Check out this story about a school shooter, and notice when race is mentioned and why. Do you think this was justified? Thanks, Marla, for the link; we'll talk about this in class on Friday.

It is sad indeed to hear another school shooting in which the gunman killed himself after shooting two students and two teachers. Why is it that when a student shoots his school mates and teachers in a school, the authorities always conclude that “the gunman was suffering from mental disorder” I don’t think the Virginia massacre gunman was suffering from mental disorder nor the Cleveland 14 year old gunman. The Authorities should find better ways to forbid students from coming to school with guns and knives. We still need to reform our gun control in order to make America a better and safer place to live.
The race was mentioned in this crime in order to portray a bad image among the African American people. Race was also mentioned in order to carry a wrong message to the public that African American people are trouble makers, thieves, bad people, violent people and they die violent death. It was not justified in any way. However, even white people commit serious crimes and also die violent death, just like any other race. In every race, there is the good and the bad, in every race there are good people and bad people. No race is holier nor superior over other races, we are all equal. We are all sinners.
