White mass shooter syndrome is real. We as a society must move beyond our privilege about which mass shoutings we choose to pay attention to based on race. We must dedicate ourselves and commit to highlighting mass shooters of color.
The media can do better highlighting non white mass shootings and we as a country can do better by demanding equitable treatment for mass shooters of color.
Our media spends an inequitable amount of time focusing on white mass shooters when there are several cases of mass shooters of color that go ignored weekly. This has to change if we are to become a more anti-racist and equitable country.
It is the duty of people with large platforms to make the change they want to see. Highlighting only white mass shooters and only elevating their stories is deeply seeded in our country's institutionalized racism. We must do better. We can do better.

Here are the two different 60 Minutes edits layered on top of each other in full. You will hear where Whitaker's questions line up, and the different edited answers from Harris.
SC 1842 (bottom) is what aired on Monday night.
SC 1843.5 (top) is what the Face the Nation X account previewed on October 6th.
Besides inserting a different response from Harris, CBS edited out everything about Harris defending Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah and their right to do so.
The tracks time up almost exactly. This was not "edited for time" as CBS and 60 Minutes will likely claim.
The WSJ piece on "We need to talk about Grandpa" turned the country and media into a family.
88% of the country is the family member going "Guys, we need to talk about him. He's confusing the living room lamp with a friend he knew who died in 1985. We need to put him in a home where he will be cared for"
And the Democrats, and his wife and media are going - "Just leave him be. If talking to the lamp makes him happy in his final years, who are we to judge. He's fine."
The lamp just happens top be the nuclear football.
An entire national media in damage control telling you that "Grandpa is fine. We don't need to have that talk." when even they know the truth.
We're all just basically fighting over the Last Will of the country at this point.
But to argue a woman hasn't shaped the story of Star Wars is completely and insultingly naive to who Marsha Lucas or Leigh Brackett were, and that's ultimately the problem with Disney Feminism - it purposely erases the accomplishments of other women because of their warped woke world view that history started in the year 2020.
Would be curious for an interviewer to ask her if she even knows who wrote Empire Strikes Back.
But until then far nerds out down their toy lightsabers and stop going to the theater for this crap, Kennedy will remain employed.
Marsha Lucas had more influence in shaping Star Wars than anyone else alive, and that's why Kathleen Kennedy should be fired into the sun.
