And how many shooters are white? How many are in jail? How many are repeat offenders?

Ummmm............................ the majority of violent crime in the US is committed by blacks. Is it "white privilege to be the victims of crime perpetrated by a violent group?

Wake up and look at the factual statistics, not your fanciful view of the world.

PS- I am a "cat lady" and have several stray cats I have adopted. I provide a habitat for bobcats on my farm as well and will not let anyone hunt or harm them. However, in return, the bobcats do not rob or assault me and seem to want to live peacefully.

What race are you? Most people visually group others into preconceived notions of race. It's just dumb. How can you like the concept of race? It's boorish and holds no scientific basis. A member of the KKK has a PHD in race studies according to "tradition". Like phrenology and bloodletting, the concept is about as useful.

Or a black female who assaults a Jew, for no reason other than....Jew, is released on bail, and the next day finds herself another Jew to assault?

Or when a black male fights with cops, steals their weapon, and shoots it at them, and is killed, the mayor and DA automatically declare it an unjustified homicide and fire the cop?

Without looking it up, I can think of Columbine, Batman, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas. What does that prove? That white people like killing. Some do, most don't.

Mass shootings represent a tiny fraction of shootings in the US. Blacks, in fact, kill more people than whites. That's a fact. Cherry picking data doesn't prove your point, it just shows you're blinded by victim culture and are unwilling or unable to formulate a rational counterpoint.
