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.
