Since I live in Portland I've been getting the full coverage of this incident. I've been watching as the media uses all the coded methods of separating this from "white" school shootings. It's been hinting since the beginning but now that the shooter has been verified to be black the media is pulling out all stops. The article I'm linking to is an LA based news news outlet that uses all the usual tropes, they've been present in the local reporting also but this one sums them all up for the national audience:
"Stems from a dispute"; "gang related"; "not random". Of course, every time a black kid shoots up a school or kill kids (a far more common occurence that so-called "white shootings") all these comments get dredged up by the media.
Every black person will say to themselves. "Those black boys did it for a reason, unlike whitey who got no reason", and since the reason ultimately derives from poverty and discrimination it's whitey's fault in the first place.
Being on the local level of a story it's easier to perceive how the media manipulates it to make it appear to be a purely "white" psychosis. The local reporting has referenced the other two recent shootings in the metro region but made great pains to "differentiate" between this one. There was the recent Reynolds HS shooting in suburban Gresham where the shooter was white but then the Clackamas Town Center shooting by Jacob Roberts who was a mixed race kid: White, black, asian mixture that the media pretended was all white. The local media has done it's best to obscure the fact that 2 out of last 3 shootings in the Portland region are by non whites. If we extend a little more and include the recent Washington state school shooting, in which the shooter was a the Native American, that would mean that 3 out of 4 of the last school shootings in this region are by non whites. I guarantee you nobody is going to be screaming the question "Why are most mass shootings in the Pacific NW being committed by minorities?"
If you ask any person on the street in Portland what race mass shooters have been in the last few years in the Portland metro area virtually every one will say they have all been white. If you tell them the truth they will give you a blank confused look and then accuse you of racism. That's how brain dead people in Portland can be, well, they are that way anywhere but I've lived most of my life here and the need for people here to accept media PC brainwashing is particularly potent.
