      Are you as incapable as Matt is of understanding the difference between a fact and an interpretation of that fact? I was not accusing Matt of racism for alluding to the fact that most shootings are within the Black community - this is well-known - but for the meaning he ascribed to it.

      What meaning? That most of the victims have been killed due to gang culture? That's also just a fact isn't it? Maybe the reality is that we're just stupid because we disagree with you?

        Gun control has racist origins. After the civil war, the democrats in congress were worried that blacks would be able to easier exact revenge for being held as slaves if they had access to guns, so the first gun control laws were aimed expressly at them. The KKK was widely regarded as the militant arm of the democratic party. It really baffles me that any person of color would count himself among the ranks of democrats. Historically speaking, racism is more deeply rooted on the left than on the right. Of course, you have to have been taught actual history instead of liberal agenda-driven history re-write in order to understand the history of things.

            Massive generalizations about blacks is racist! Massive generalizations about Muslims is racist! Massive generalization about conservatives is - A-OK with you obviously. And it's conservatives that think Liberals are stupid - Liberals think conservatives are evil! :-D

              I've rarely talked to a European that I would ever consider a conservative. Even your conservatives are to far in the redistributive tank to be called conservative. Although I am fairly conservative (fiscally, not socially) for a Canadian. Most European 'far-right' ("lets call them Nazis so nobody listens to them") parties would fit in as mildly conservative Republicans in the US. (Although they sure wouldn't get along with the evangelicals - but who does?)

                I didn't accuse you of ignorance - I accused you of stupidity and racism. How often do I have to keep repeating myself? You clearly cannot grasp the idea that a fact and the interpretation and meaning you give it are two different things. We all agree that the majority of gun deaths are black on black. That is the simple statistical fact. Where we differ is in what we make of it. You just dismiss is as "black gun culture", and I call that a racist attitude. There is no culture of black people killing each other. There is a higher rate of such killings than in the white population, but to call that a "culture" with no care or thought about why there is this discrepancy is racist. And you are racist, Matt - this and other comments you've made in the past make that quite clear. (And no I'm not going to trawl back to find them.)

                  Which I didnt... You assume things and then imagine things that a person has said, then accuse them of racism. You are just like that other prick here, Bell, who lurches to assumptions based on what he wants to see rather than the facts.

                    I didnt attach any meaning to the fact, you imagined it, because you want to. You want the easy slur of racism. Its a cheap card to play, about as cheap as they get, and says more about you than you think.

                        Oh what an utter child you are! That explains so much about the immaturity of your posts. You accuse me of not looking in depth, yet you got the gun issue completely wrong in your simplistic thinking. Thats just one example.

In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny . . . and I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever.

                          have they not? After all, they successfully fielded a desegregated Presidential Candidate.

                            Racism is the base of right-wing extremism. Look at those white supremacists groups, often inspired by the extreme right nazism.

                              However, we have thousands upon thousands of Democratic neo-nazis in the United States. Yes, that's right, leftists. So, you can't just use right-wing extremism, you need to throw the left in there too. Just saying...

                                  NRA members aren't the problem, these shooters are generally left-wing and democrat. So you want NRA members to be shot because they are supporting the rights of democrats rather than wanting to stop the left-wing democrats from becoming shooters in the first place? The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

                                      To buy armor-piecing bullets To allow insane people to buy guns (legally) To oppose any sane limitation on the firepower available without a permit. How'd you like your neighbors to be stocking RPG's and Landmines? Maybe a Quad-50 on their vehicle, too. That's what the NRA protects. It's like the parallel, with the concept of theft: if you didn't have fence's willing to buy the stolen property it would be less useful to steal. Or graft - the source of endless criminal activity. Both allow it to be done - and then use that same whine you just implied - that "we didn't do it". The NRA are enablers.

                                          Your true face is that of a person who calls for another massacre, of your political antagonists, to prove a point. That's revolting.
