Alright, here's a question- how many "black serial killers" manage to go without being labeled as such due to the nature of "random gang/street violence?" At this point, people aren't worried so much about them being "serial killers" so much as "people who would murder you over nothing at all."
There's a stereotype going back to at least the 80s that a rough ratio of rounds fired to victims (or just rounds fired, period) tells you the race of the perp.
The problem isn't the lack of label, but the lack of interest really. Serial killers are a brand, that is designed as the top of the "true crime" genre.
So the media picks the sexy, fun ones (which are always either the hottest, grimiest, or most insane) and turns them into icons. Black serial killers rarely check any of those boxes, because they are either gang killers or just kill hookers instead. Lonnie Franklin is probably the most well known one, and that's only because he was recent in his hooker killing.

How many gang shootouts go unreported because they shoot several hundred rounds at each other and nobody gets hit?

Let me guess, that's when the gangsta sideways hold became popular amongst "certain demographics?"
I was floored when I saw a promo pic for OH LAAAAWD DEM RAAAANGZ with the darkie elf and he was doing the same thing with a goddamn bow lmao
Careful, the other guy will get mad if you say it.
It's because they hold the gun sideways.
Fuck off retard.
It's a joke, not your masters' strap-on. You don't need to take it so hard.
A classic joke, but a good one.
