Outside of Hip Hop, the outcry following this latest mass shooting in the United States has been swift, with celebrities like Marlon Wayans and Kim Kardashian West questioning what the government plans to do to prevent future tragedies.
“Is ANYFUCKINGBODY IN OUR WHITE HOUSE OR CONGRESS PLANNING ON TAKING ACTION TO TIGHTEN GUN LAWS!!!! How many mass shootings must we endure before something is done to minimize this?!?!??,” Marlon Wayans tweeted.
“We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school. Prayers won’t do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence,” Kim K wrote.

Hmmm, I wonder what race the shooter was. And if those same people will blame it on “mental illness” or some shit.

He is a beaner. Last name Cruz.
Dude was clearly mentally weak. He was adopted nd adoptive mother passed away. Before yall start throwin shade nd slurs ill just leave this bit of info. Reports coming out that he had ties with white supremacists. Bean card denied. Fun fact: AR-15’s originated in the U.S. lets look at the bigger picture bro enough with the race war bullshit.
You won’t see them comment till a Blackman is the perpetrator. Then they come trolling. Like blacks are the only ones who commit crimes. If it’s their race then it’s mental illness. Smh
