Of all the obscenities I’ve read on the CNN website, this one takes the cake. The headline reads “How America has silently accepted the rage of white men.”

Can you name one person who accepted what happened in Las Vegas?

The writer says our government will be silent and inactive on this mass shooting as it has been on all the others. And the writer also says that if the mass shootings were perpetrated by brown bodies, we would reform the debate as an immigration issue.

This is such a racist piece.

No one accepts the shooting in Vegas. And there is no correlation between an organized killing organization like ISIS and a guy who was out of his mind.

What about the insane amount of killings in places like Chicago in low income neighborhoods? More than 1 in 5 gun deaths come from these areas.

But we are told by writers for CNN that we are silently accepting the rage of white men. What about the silent acceptance of all the young lives being lost in places like Chicago?

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
