Columbine, Paducah, Johnny Walker, the Osama loving kid that flew a plane into a building - all involve white males from upper-middle to upper class homes or suburban areas that on the face of things, have all the advantages.

How come there's never mass murders at inner city or private/parochial schools?

Where are the parents od these kids - are they completely asleep at the wheel?

Is it a curse to be born into an affluent white familiy (where parents apparently don't give a damn) or is there larger societal issues working here?

Theres a lot more kids in public schools than in private school, so it makes sense that more would happen in public schools. Im not saying that other factors arent involved, but just keep that in mind.

How come calling someone a "white boy" is socially acceptable, while "beautiful ray of sunshine", "beloved patriot", and "great person" are huge taboos?

What a crock of sh1t. Kids in the inner cities get blown away everyday. It's just nobody gives a sh1t. How the hell is a kid whose Parents are on Welfare going to get a Cessna? Think about it Einstein!

calling someone a whiteboy is only acceptable if you are bigger than that whiteboy and he knows you could kick his @$$ ;)

Because "white boy" is actually expounding on a truth of young white males; that is to say, a white boy is in fact, "a white boy". A "great person", "beautiful ray of sunshine", or "beloved patriot" is not actually anyone/thing/physical quality of anyone...those words exist ONLY TO DISPARAGE the people they are applied to.

BTW, "chinaman" would be more accurate to use the next time you want to make this argument...:D

I agree. I like to be called by my name. So I do the same to others.
The first person to call you by other than your name (I mean offensive) just clean their clock, they will see the light, when they get up off the floor.

You feel like a man now? You just wanted to do some name calling. You know full well that the use of "white boy" is not racially demeaning in anyway like any of those names. Now if someone called you a cracker, beloved patriot, or powered donut that is being racial. ;)

Put it this way....

When ever something happens to middle and upper class white people, such as the Columbine incident then people start to point fingures and it get's a ton of coverage. But, if the same thing were to happen in the inner city then it would get moderate coverage and would be quickly forgotten. White people have the "As long as it doesn't happen to me" syndrome.

I don't think it's a curse to be brought up in a upper class white family. You just brought up a very small minority of people. There are a ton a upper middle class white people that do quite we'll. But you don't hear about them. That's boring news, as people want to hear about guys such as Johnny Walker and the Columbine teenagers.

I do agree that when it comes to mass murder's white people lead in this category. There was one black guy in Philadelphia who chained the cities hookers up and butchered them, and then he would feed the parts to his dog. Nuts!! But, for the most part white people take 1st place in Mass Murder's as they have Jeffrey Dalhmer, John Wayne Gasey, Ted Bundy, Adolf Hitler, Timothy Mc Vey, George Washington, US Calvary and Bill Gates!! ---hehehehe ;););)

African American's will just gang bang that cute butt of your's and kill you for your Blings! Blings! Oh, and that BMW to!! :):):)

I tend to disagree with the chinaman statement. That is a stereotype against all asians. Just because you look asian (black hair, small brown/black eyes, usually found with glasses) doesn't mean you are from the red china. White boy means simply a white boy. "great person", "beloved patriot", and the rest are known to have racist connotations.

My guess? And I'm not stereotyping, but merely speaking to acts ACTUALLY committed by suburban white kids (Keep in mind this comes from a suburban black kid, so that's prolly a factor). But I think that people in the suburbs are told how "lucky" they are and how "privileged", so their pain and fear and heartache are so bundled up because they're so "lucky" that it comes out in more explosive ways. Inner city schools (I've never attended one, so I could be wrong, but I do read :D ) are much more fatalistic. They're used to having a lot less,and of people not telling them how well off they are. It's a completely different world, one that bleeds in a slow trickle rather than a brief, violent flood. Both are going to contribute to the ultimate destruction of our nation, but only the violent flood is going to be hugely publicized. Not that inner city violence isn't publicized, but the shock value of suburban violence is a lot more potent in its rarity.

Actually he had a Middle Eastern background (Syrian I believe). So he is disqualified as being white.

Because most "white boys" take no offense to the term. If they did, it would lose its social acceptability fairly quickly.

Why are nearly all serial killers white males? Who knows? Maybe it's genetic...

Which color is that? :) I believe we were all "black" once.
