Being Alone, America, and Dank: Barack Obama
 @BarackObama
 Michelle and I grieve with all the families in El Paso and Dayton who endured these latest
 mass shootings. Even if details are still emerging, there are a few things we already know
 to be true.
 First, no other nation on Earth comes close to experiencing the frequency of mass
 shootings that we see in the United States. No other developed nation tolerates the
 levels of gun violence that we do. Every time this happens, we're told that tougher gun
 laws won't stop all murders; that they won't stop every deranged individual from getting
 a weapon and shooting innocent people in public places. But the evidence shows that
 they can stop some killings. They can save some families from heartbreak. We are not
 helpless here. And until all of us stand up and insist on holding public officials
 accountable for changing our gun laws, these tragedies will keep happening
 Second, while the motivations behind these shootings may not yet be fully known, there
 are indications that the El Paso shooting follows a dangerous trend: troubled individuals
 who embrace racist ideologies and see themselves obligated to act violently to preserve
 white supremacy. Like the followers of ISIS and other foreign terrorist organizations,
 these individuals may act alone, but they've been radicalized by white nationalist
 websites that proliferate on the internet. That means that both law enforcement
 agencies and internet platforms need to come up with better strategies to reduce the
 influence of these hate groups.
 But just as important, all of us have to send a clarion call and behave with the values of
 tolerance and diversity that should be the hallmark of our democracy. We should soundly
 reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of
 fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't
 look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life,
 or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain
 type of people. Such language isn't new it's been at the root of most human tragedy
 throughout history, here in America and around the world. It is at the root of slavery and
 Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. It
 has no place in our politics and our public life. And it's time for the overwhelming
 majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as
 much clearly and unequivocally.
