I believe the motive for the Atlanta shooting was not racism against Asians.

It was anger at the profession of "masseuse."

To lose your parents and your children is just incomprehensible to me.

Indeed.
I has got be a wound to the infinite depths of soul and psyche and heart and being.
Something which only a rare few people who might have been through similar can even begin to understand.
And I really, really, really, don't ever want to be able to relate from personal experience.

I don't think anyone's injected race into this.

People were sure injecting race into the Atlanta shootings before any facts/motives were known. On this very board in fact.

Apparently "cancel culture" is invoked when the shooter is black and the victim is white.....but the silence from the right when its reversed is interesting and speaks volumes.

That was because the Atlanta shootings took place during the current rash of Anti-Asian violent hate crimes. We probably still don't know the full story behind the massage shop shootings.

The injection of race into this issue occurred with your first post into this thread.

Actually Reynholm has a point, that particular incident isn't so cut and dry but agreed, it does need further investigation, My guess it won't end up a hate crime.

Cute reply but also dead wrong, No, I was not the one calling it a hate crime I was the one questioning the motive when everyone else on this site was screaming: "HATE CRIME".

It still does not address the motive of the killer.

Perhaps. As I said, we still don't know the full story.
