It seems to me that this is more of a man who was despondent about life: he has AIDS, his wife has recently died (most likely of AIDS as well), and he is a dad to a child who might have it as well. I see this man as tired of being victimized as a Black man and sees white people as the source of his troubles as well as the rest of the Black race. Yes he did go on a violent shooting spree but as it was said in the other racism thread: RACISM involves power. The only power the man had was that day when he had a gun in his hand. So his power was temporary and only had when he had a tool of destruction in his hands.

Instead of calling everything that happens that involves Blacks and whites racism, how about posting it and talking about how our society is deteriorating.
