The Lie That Will Not Die and the Truth about Black Mass Shooters
By Colin Flaherty

The lie that will not die: Most mass shooters are white.

Just Google "white mass shooters," and you will find hundreds and hundreds of stories from The Grio, Root, Salon, CNN, PBS, and Newsweek, right up to the Washington Post, with headlines likes this, from Vice: "Why are so many mass shootings committed by young white men?"

All accompanied with fairy tales like this from the Washington Post: "a consistent pattern: Young, white men with demonstrable backgrounds of mental instability or violence against women taking the lives of as many people as possible."

At least one legacy media outfit figured out, however painful it was to report (and bury in the middle of the jump), that three quarters of mass shooters are black.  That was the New York Times.

You read that right: mass shootings are a black thing.  And we find them almost every day.  Often more than one.  In Philadelphia alone, they report one every eleven days.

Yall will have to excuse me while I go get my lying eyes checked out. No matter how many times I read it,it still says that was reported in the NYT.  That's just not possible.

Maybe they figure they have lied so much, no one will believe them if they tell inconvenient truths. COuld be a way to discredit the story before conservative media talk about it...
