    While I disagree with bits and pieces of this (really, mostly, just the LOTR call-out -- source material is what it is), certain parts were of a particularly glass-shattering nature:

    and:

    This is an article talking specifically about the different way we treat people of color in this nation and even in this article's headline, the white people are "shooters" and the Black and Muslim people are "killers." Even when we're talking about racism, we're using racist language to make people of color look dangerous and make White people come out as not so bad.
