high school and killed four people.
And I'm always going to point out a piece of white privilege that we often don't talk about.
White folks, do you notice that no matter how often this happens, nobody's having national conversations about how you raise your children?
Notice how there's no stop the violence commercials on your TV?
National news outlets are not going to take footage from the aftermath of the shooting and then put it right beside statistics about absent white fathers in the home.
Nonprofits aren't walking into your children's schools teaching them how to dress for success so they don't pick up guns.
No podcast episodes about how white moms are responsible for all of the ills of their sons.
Not a single unlicensed, uncertified motivational speaker is going to go viral on the internet for yelling at a group of young white adults and telling them that the reason why violence persists in their communities is because they're not motivated enough to succeed.
If we go to school with our hair not done for too many days, somebody is in the back corner whispering, where is that child's mom?
Apparently the boy that shot up this school was chronically absent.
Did anybody assume that that was because nobody at home cared about his education?
Listen, I'm not on my revenge arc.
I'm not saying that happened to black moms so it has to happen to everybody else as well.
I'm saying white people should reckon with the fact that that's not happening and ask themselves why.
For the better part of 70 years, Black people have been consistently told that our circumstances were because of the culture that we create.
So yes, given that information, it absolutely does matter.
Almost all mass shooters, almost all school shooters have been white men and now white boys.
And we have not made a national emergency out of how white families raise their kids.
The shooter, that child's name is Colt.
It's a gun manufacturer.
