Meh, we can debate what she really thinks forever, and I'm not here to defend her, anyway. I go back to my original point: The Fox News piece was crap, and that's what people are actually talking about, not anything she actually said or signed off on in that letter.
You mean like the speech obama gave at a stupid dumbassed BLM rally hours before the cop killings in Dallas????? The systematic racism cops speech??? Yea, don't even go there. 5 dead officers and 6 wounded!!! AND F*ck blm!!!!!!!!! This BLM sh!t is a DIVIDER a true DIVIDER. Anyone who challenges that is stupid. F*ck obama! That sh!t angered me greatly. Obama...I did that! Yes you did.
I have no problem with banning "ghost guns" ; problem is, as always, the criminals will continue finding ways to produce them (most likely coming from Mexico or just down in Vinny's basement turned light machine shop) while the law abiding guy will stop (which solves nothing)...
While we are at it, we need more don't kill people on the subway laws.
You guys are so transparent with this, which was the point of the post to begin with. Why is it so damn hard to admit the obvious? The guy had over 40 hours of youtube videos where he was ranting and raving about evil white people (that suddenly violated TOS after the guy shot a bunch of people, they were a-o-****ing-kay with the guy's content until it would be discoverable and lead to obvious conclusions being drawn by the public). His Facebook page was full of the same.
Thank you for the intellectual honesty about what this guy is. That was point one.
We'll just agree to disagree here. This guy is crazy and would have been crazy regardless of what he was taught in school.
It's all lost on me. BLM is full of racists. NRA is full of racists. White racists, black racists, Asian racists. Racists everywhere in our society. Always will be. All you can do is teach your kids and ensure our laws require equal treatment.
To your last point, how do you square this with the red state initiative to enact constitutional carry laws? Basic background checks for gun licenses seem to literally be the least we can do and that has been judged too much by many GOP led states.
Right, Elijah Muhammad was a Black racist before the 1617 Project was ever thought of and when CRT meant "Combat Results Table".

Sure it is but the difference here is that we will have real life, tragic consequences.
Maybe the answer is to pass a law that requires politicians to use the subway for their transportation.
You suspect people look the other way? You are the first liberal leaning poster who has said "yeah, definitely a racist" and it took until page 2 to get that admission.
Trayvon Martin. More specifically, after that incident he started looking into crime statistics. What he found there led him down the white supremacy path. My guess there would be that he stumbled on an argument about who commits crime particularly with regards to transracial crime, saw things were completely different then what is considered common knowledge, and that he was then sucked in by people who did share a piece of the actual truth in those crime statistics but wrapped in lies that he bought into. That last part is my editorializing, the Trayvon Martin and racism motivating him is what I was able to find with quick research which mentioned his confession and writings he had done.

Blacks are 13 percent of the population and account for as much as half of all violent crime. Most of that is black on black. Poverty, family and opportunity are always the root causes. What doesn't help is defunding and bail projects. Have you seen DeSantis' Father's project in Florida? Pretty cool stuff. Lots of money to help dads be dadsWhite racist groups have been spreading this myth that Blacks are conducting a race war through crime for some time. Roof bought it. Bolding mine below:
Taylor’s claim that blacks consciously targeted whites and were, in fact, committing “hate crimes,” presupposed that all interracial crimes were acts of racial malice. While Taylor suggested interracial crime was a rampant problem, the vast majority of violent crimes are intraracial, meaning victims and perpetrators are far likelier to be of the same race. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics report from 2000, among white victims of violent crime, 73 percent were attacked by other whites. Among black victims, 80 percent were victimized at the hands of another black person
The Biggest Lie in the White Supremacist Propaganda Playbook: Unraveling the Truth About ‘Black-on-White Crime'
The idea that black people are wantonly attacking white people in some sort of quiet race war is an untruthful and damaging narrative with a very long history in America.
Below is a link to a study from 1999 on it,
It was more than five times as likely that a white victim was attacked by a white offender than by a black offender and nearly seven times as likely that a black victim was attacked by a black offender.
The greatest risk to be an aggressor or a victim of crime is poverty. And it isn't just in America, it is true in China as well - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7234816/
Blacks have more poverty, thus Blacks are more likely to commit crime AND more likely to be victims. All Dylan Roof really learned is that impoverished people commit more crimes and more Blacks are impoverished. Racists take those truisms and turn them into something far more.
If you want more on the subject:
The detail available in California crime statistics, as provided by the state Criminal Justice Statistics Center (2008) in a special data run, provide new opportunities for analysis of arrests by age, race/ethnicity, and offense type and homicide risk. The findings of this preliminary analysis suggest that high arrest and homicide rates found among California's young age groups, and also among Hispanics and African Americans into late middle age, are due much less to age or race per se than to high poverty rates adhering to age and race. Poverty level also is strongly linked to higher arrest and murder rates among older age groups. The evidence for the hypothesis that poverty, not age, best explains arrest and homicide rates is consistent across different measures. First, direct cross-tabulations of arrest and homicide rates by age group and poverty level reveal that where the sociodemographics of adults in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are similar to those of young people, middle and older adult ages also suffer sharply elevated rates of murder and arrest as well. California's patterns indicate that a population aged 35-44 or 45-54 whose characteristics were 51% male, 7% black, 43% Hispanic, and 16% in poverty, the typical characteristics of 15-24 year-olds-would display homicide mortality and violence and felony arrest rates much closer to those of 15-24 year-olds. Second, bivariate regression indicates that poverty level is associated with around 4 times more of the variance in arrest and homicide rates than is age.
Poor people, no matter their race, are more likely to commit crimes worldwide. And it isn't new, the article on China has this quote, Poverty is the mother of crime. —Marcus Aurelius
Dylan Roof hated Blacks because 73% of Whites are victims of violent crimes caused by other Whites.
It would be interesting to test something like that. Put up essential identical post by a black and a white and see if both remain up. Also test liberal verses conservative. I'm surprised that nobody has ever tested that (maybe they have and I don't know it). If I was a congress person and thought I was gonna be bringing in FB, Google, etc for questioning about their practices I would definitely hire some people to do something like that.
Yeah, white supremacists spread that lie just like the lie that black people need to be afraid of whites, the cops are out hunting down blacks, etc. That is my point, it is a lie. And that is what I believe probably sent Roof into the arms of the people peddling what you highlighted at the end of your post.White racist groups have been spreading this myth that Blacks are conducting a race war through crime for some time.

He wasn't supposed to have been able to.... Thought we covered that... The FBI dropped the ball in a Big way on his background check...
But, but, but... 😳 , you're a Racist, White Supremacist, Nazi for pointing those facts out...😉
And 2 or three armed people may have panicked and added 20 people to the casualty list. There is an assumption that anyone armed will act perfectly in combat. I think history shows that isn't always true. Friendly fire happens.
In your view, is hate speech protected free speech?
If they go after the guy advising him you're speaking of everybody's pal - Lois Farrakhan...
