I believe what a lot of people are taking offense to is connecting mental illness with mass shootings. And they are right to take offense.
Do you know which demographic socioeconomically has the least access to mental health treatment? Black Women.
Do you know which demographic is the least likely to commit a mass shooting? Black Women.
On the flip side do you know which demographic has the greatest access to mental health treatment and is still the most likely to commit mass shootings? White males.
This is not a mental health problem. This is a white male patriarchy problem. This is more about racism, sexism, privilege and entitlement than it is anything else. All the mental health treatment in the world is not going to stop a group of men who society teaches that they have a historical, spiritual, and even moral right to exalt themselves above everyone else and that it is heroic to exalt themselves by force.

You can book mark it, or click on the picture and save it to your computer or phone as a photo. That's what I did to bring it here, then used google to generate the alt text for the vision impaired.
