@no1marauder saidCorrect. Some people of certain groups (cultures), shoot, kill, whatever. It is what they do. The definition provided by Marauder speaks to that very type of group.
From Merriam-Webster:
Culture - The customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious or social group.
Aberrant behavior like shooting into a crowd or killing rap singers is no more a part of US Black culture than murder and cannibalism is a part of US White culture because Jeffrey Dahmer did it.
It follows that when these people do this, it does not make any difference what color they are. I consider the activities of Hare Krishna to be quite aberrant, from my very conservative point of view. They are of one culture, I am, of course, of another.
We could post all day about cultures. What color , or race, that they are is quite irrelevant.
So, I agree with Marauder, different cultures do different things,....some throw homosexuals off of roofs. Who, pray tell, is thinking about what color they are?
@no1marauder saidWait, I just saw this, I read from bottom to top on occasion. I find it odd that you invent the phrase 'Black and White cultures". What in the hell. I have a partner, who is a friend as well, we socialize, who is black. He and I are of the same culture.
Who cares?
These lists are irrelevant to a group's culture; both Black and White cultures in the US (to the extent they exist) find murder abhorrent.
You do realize that, right?
With all due respects, Marauder, I do not know what you mean, or what you are trying to say. You seem to be tying color and/or race to culture.
I don't get you there.

But tell me what "culture" in the US is OK with what was described in the OP i.e. a gun battle that culminated in the firing into a crowd killing a mother who was holding her six year old child.
Describe the "racial, religious or social group" that believes such a thing.
EDIT: Obviously it's important to identify this "culture" and its members so the deportations Mott desires that will end any such incidents can commence ASAP.

@mott-the-hoople saidNot really: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045221
right in line with the racial makeup of the US.
Kind of knocks down the premise of whites are the worst serial killers.
What is your point?
White alone (since you white supremacists don't want to include Hispanics who identify as "white" ): 59.3%

@mott-the-hoople saidWell the study was done in 1990, so 9%. https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2000/phc/phc-t-01/tab04.pdf
at the time of the study how many were there? 🙄
Whites were 75.6% so they would still be overrepresented.
Anyway, I wasn't even claiming that whites were more likely to be serial killers (though it appears they are statistically) but that the abhorrent behavior of a tiny minority says nothing about a group's culture.

@no1marauder saidThey describe it for us, all we have to go on is to clinically observe their actions. With that info, we can begin building a catalog of the differences in each culture, and reach the naming phase.

I cannot begin to think of the name we would assign to the cretins who shot into the crowd, I think it would be a name or a word that does not presently exist. I see a box by my phone, so we could invent the word "Boxons", or something like that.
So, you think I don't know what culture is? There is the culture of the aborigines, and then that of the Belgians, generally speaking of course. Do you not see the difference?
Off subject, but there are rumblings that Biden DID have power to declassify. I wonder how much time we need to invest in all of this when the professionals are ON IT! I wonder if it is just one man's interpretation,,,,,,oh lord, we are all going back to square 1.

@averagejoe1 saidIf white people were the minority in America and committed crimes on the same scale as blacks do now, the country would be aghast and they wouldn't make any bones about excoriating them and their behavior.

And rightfully so.
Instead, we feel sympathy and make excuses for what they do in the US, as well as everywhere else they go.
@jj-adams saidwhat you are seeing here is mareriders racism against whites.

@jj-adams said"Excoriating" an entire "race" of people for the aberrant behavior of a small minority of those in the group is profoundly irrational.

Racism is based on such idiotic principles.
@no1marauder saidyet you do it regularly
