I dont get it. This is like the 3rd or 4th incident where you have some crazy white kid either shooting people up or planning on shooting people up. But you dont have anyone in here talking about "oh, white people need morals. white people need to get their act together. that marilyn manson and ozzy osbourne are corrupting the kids!" but when a black kid robs somebody or shoves someone at school the news media is all over hip hop and how its such a bad influence and its question after question on here about "why dont black people have any morals and why dont black people do this and that and why arent black people educated." At least when a black person shoots somebody they do it for a reason, retaliation or something! They dont just grab a gun and start shooting random people because they had a bad day! And I am not saying its right but its funny how whenever a white person shoots a bunch of people its just HIM but when a black person does a crime its BLACK PEOPLE in GENERAL.

Actually, right after the Columbine massacre, Marilyn Manson got a lot of media criticism due to the killers being avid fans of his music. Also, video game makers were put in a negative light as well thanks in part to those killers spending hours playing DOOM.
However, I still understand your beef. The media loves to cast ethnic and religious minorities in a negative image based on the acts of a few criminals. They enjoy playing upon white suburbia's stereotypes of and subtle racism towards "them people."

Actually, it's the goth movement that white kids are now attacked for. As stupid and false as the point in this post is, let me just say that it's the person that does the action, not the music, clothing, TV set or video-game.

I understand what you mean; I (and many others) have noticed that as well.
