i love how people can just blame mental health issues anytime a white man commits a terrorist act – even when he goes out of his way to explain exactly WHY he did it – if he says “I hate women and deserve sex so I’m killing people” the reaction is “oh he’s just crazy, it’s not misogyny or white male entitlement that’s to blame. it’s just mental health issues.” even though you don’t see other groups committing mass shootings in the US at nearly the same rate – if white men as a group have an issue society bends over backwards not to see it
I love this post because I I literally hate that for every mass shooting I have to post a classic “BEING RACIST/SEXIST/HOMOPHOBIC/ANTIESTABLISHMENT IS NOT A MENTAL ILLNESS”
