Saturday Night Card Game (What’s White got to do with it?)

This really is getting out of control.

Harriet and Charlotte write in WaPo, White men have much to discuss about mass shootings (emphasis added):

Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year.  Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we’d have political debates demanding that African Americans be “held accountable.” ….But when the criminals and leaders are white men, race and gender become the elephant in the room.Nearly all of the mass shootings in this country in recent years — not just Newtown, Aurora, Fort Hood, Tucson and Columbine — have been committed by white men and boys….Unlike other groups, white men are not used to being singled out. So we expect that many of them will protest it is unfair if we talk about them. ….What facets of white male culture create so many mass shootings?Why are so many white men and boys producing and entertaining themselves with violent video games and other media?Why do white men buy, sell and manufacture guns for profit; attend gun shows; and demonstrate for unrestricted gun access disproportionately more than people of other ethnicities or races?Why are white male congressmen leading the fight against gun control?

Ann Althouse sums up the lunacy:

I would have thought white men were the one group that American elite media does feel free to single out… as evidenced by this article. And I didn’t know we were calling the Fort Hood killer a “white man.” But I’m sure you can find some other problems with this piece.
