Video Games Don't Kill

So everyone knows I'm pretty vehement about the video-games-are-the-root-of-evil crowd.  And I don't need to repeat the standard arguments of the comicbooks/D&D/ rockmusic/rapmusic cycle, or the stats not supporting their claims, or etc etc.  But here's a new one.  She's basically pointing out that when a black kid kills someone, he's a monster, a product of his black environment.  But when the white suburban kid kills someone, he's an innocent kid corrupted by video games.  It gives an excuse to the white kid for turning out bad.  That's a very interesting argument that never even occurred to me!
