    nice try. I ASKED a question. I never gave any stats. Also, it was in an effort to think of a solution to black poverty. That was the discussion. I also pointed out that fatherless homes are a problem no matter the race and that I, myself, come from a fatherless home. So whatever. One thing I didn’t do was stereotype any race. Nice try though. Continue defending racism.

    In Texas they ARE scared. They know that the demographics of the state are changing and the future for them isn't as bright at the past.

    It is a completely different scenario but I remember hearing and seeing how the White South Africans acted when they were losing control of the power structure. The ruling class gets VERY nervous and in Texas it is similar..... and the fact that the state ALWAYS votes Republican at the state level means once an idiot like Cruz is in power, they will not be replaced.

    I think you have a point in saying that @deb4rockets comment about the shooter probably being a white male is stereotyping. Why make any assumption prior to knowing the facts, right?

    To me, when I "sensed" her frustration with how people always assume a terrorist attack is a Muslim or a looter is black in many of these other threads and that her post was a bit of a nod to that versus any kind of attack on white men.

    But seriously, all this white man victimhood you are showing is a bit weak too. Or the word you probably use is beta, right? I mean, do you feel that white men are getting the shaft or something? Because instead of dominating leadership roles at 100% now they share it with others? Are you one of those people that believe white men are better and that minorities only get leadership roles out of tokenism or some kind of diversity initiative?

    School was cleared within an hour. We're keeping our son out for the rest of the week. These people are all copycats.

    It’s representative of a lot of people. Don’t get it twisted. Millions of Texans either love or are complicit in what Abbott is doing.

    What a great thing BETO did today, confronting the evil at its source and calling it out to their face.

    These men have been in power too long and have FAILED our state - this is what the 4th school shooting? We lead the world in school shootings.....and still they do nothing.

    **** THIS "Now is not the time" bullshit........NOW is the time to stop the next school shooting.

    We need much stricter gun laws.....NOW!!!

    Yes, but he only hit one politician, imagine if one or more was killed......and there was a threat of it continuing, then we would see action from the GOP.

    It was a risky move because the reaction is predictable...whining that it was a political stunt. Maybe it was. But he wasn't wrong. They're not doing s***. Just more thoughts and prayers. How would expanding mental health in Texas have stopped this if the kid had no known issues?

    No other Country has mental health issues apparently. Or is it video games? Or not being Christian? Maybe they don’t have socialist woke liberals that plague us here?

    It’s really hard trying to nail down what makes us so much different……

    Grand entrance to not refute anything I said

    Women show aggression differently than men... usually thru manipulation and lies.. and it happens far more often than mass shootings or any gun violence. Those situations don't make headlines like gun violence but divorce attorneys know all about it

    I don't believe women are more likely to be a gun victim than men, at all. News broadcasts don't reflect different evidence
