Don't blame groups for acts of individuals
So another kook guns down perceived enemies, this time black on white, gay on straight.
Splashed across social media he releases his "manifesto," another screed of hate, blaming whites and heterosexuals.
So will we see another round of ethnic cleansing? This time rainbow flags hauled down, Black History Month canceled, Chris Rock censured? Don't count on it.
Just as there should not have been after the Charleston massacre.
To blame entire groups for the demented actions of the most lunatic fringe is itself lunacy. But until media, politicians, Hollywood and academia stop feeding this victimology and double standard, we have not seen the last of it.
