Kamala Harris’ niece Meena Harris has deleted a tweet in which she used yesterday’s deadly mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store to paint white men as “the greatest terrorist threat to our country.” But let the record show that she’s not actually sorry about it:
I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting. I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.

She’s got her narrative, and she’s sticking to it, come hell or high water.
And she’s getting some help from this tweeter, who, like Harris, understands that the blame for all violence must ultimately lie with white men:

Go ahead and give Auomi a gold medal for intellectual gymnastics. She’s earned it!

I guess they checked the census before apprehending him

Police in Boulder shot the gunman once just in case he wasn’t white. https://t.co/IXaescuYKD

Ah…so during an active shooting event, police pause to run a database/wiki search of the current census rules regarding the perceived race of the shooter (whom they are nowhere near), and then base their next actions on these results.
If you truly believe this, seek help.

This explains it. The police must have checked his census data before they rushed out to the scene.

The implication here is that white people are less likely to be killed, when the opposite is true. But if being LISTED as white on the census cured police killings, why wouldn't we just list everyone as white?

Hey, man. If you think Auomi’s take was anything other than brilliant and insightful, you’re probably just a racist:

Pretty sure the Lord isn’t a racebaiting troll like Auomi.
And by the way:
According to Harvard, you're white too.
