World shocked at enduring racism, gun violence in US

BEIJING (AP) -- Often the target of U.S. human rights accusations, China wasted little time returning such charges following the shooting at a historic black church in South Carolina that left nine people dead. Elsewhere around the world, the attack renewed perceptions that Americans have too many guns and have yet to overcome racial tensions.

Some said the attack reinforced their reservations about personal security in the U.S. - particularly as a non-white foreigner - while others said they'd still feel safe if they were to visit.

I wonder what Mexico’s view of this is?

Maybe to protect from rioters.

How many articles have we seen entitled "World shocked at enduring sword violence by Muslims?"

Correct, boys and girls. None.

Global gun-grabber groups are shocked. Well, when aren’t they shocked?

’ “We’ve tightened our gun laws and have seen a reduction,” said Claire Taylor, the director of media and public relations at Gun Free South Africa.’ So now whites can be hacked to death daily by machete wielding hate-filled blacks whipped into a frenzy by the international race-baiting oligarchy and have no guns with which they can defend themselves.

It was not armed US citizens that killed 100 million people last century. It was the armed government’s of Europe and Asia. Time for the world to wake up.

South Africa was a strong vibrant nation, until the globalists decided that it was time to stop that strength and make them ripe for one world rule. Americans should pay attention to this methodology.

Austrailia - muslims raping white girls (but it’s their culture).

We’ve tightened our gun laws and have seen a reduction, —
But unregulated tires are available for necklacing (admittitly not recently. Just white farmer homicide.)

Britain - Soldier chopped up (good, no gun).

Hey Mr. Bodeen (author),
Did you bother to mention that China just had a mass killing with a gun?
Yeah I didn’t think so you pansy!

Bite me. I’ve traveled enough through many countries to see the rampant racism, classism, and economic snobbery around the world.

As far as China, they are almost homogenous Han. Japan, homogenous. I don’t see these countries letting in the droves of ME and Africans self-deporting from hotspots.

STFU and tend to your own miserable problems.

Aussies, haven’t been there, but I understand they are kicking out illegals landing on their shores as fast as they land, and the indigenous population still gets a bad rap.

It is ridiculous when anyone tries to pretend ‘the world’ thinks as one. I am sure there are far more people in ‘the world’ that have differing opinions yet the only ones ever quoted are those supportive of the Left’s narrative. Is it any wonder people no longer trust the ‘news’?

"The USA is completely out of step with the rest of the world. We've tightened our gun laws and have seen a reduction," said Claire Taylor, the director of media and public relations at Gun Free South Africa.

How stupid does Claire think we are? There is a genocide going on in South Africa.

The South African government estimates that there are 31 murders per 100,000 people per year. Or about 50 a day. That would make South Africa the tenth most murderous country in the world, outpacing Rwanda, Mexico, and both Sudans.

When apartheid ended, the life expectancy in South Africa was 64 — the same as in Turkey and Russia. Now it’s 56, the same as in Somalia. There are 132.4 rapes per 100,000 people per year, which is by far the highest in the world: Botswana is in second with 93, Sweden in third with 64; no other country exceeds 32.

It appears that South Africa is about the most dangerous place you can be outside a war zone. What’s more worrying is the chance that it might become a war zone. Nelson Mandela was able to hold the “rainbow nation” together, but he’s passed on. Now, according to the human-rights organization Genocide Watch, South Africa is at pre-genocide stage 6 of 8: “Preparation.”

Everyone can F off. China uses its prison population for slave labor and organ harvesting. Tens of thousands of Uighurs have outright disappeared and they just cancelled Ramadan. The other nations mentioned have had highly publicized domestic issues recently that could have been thwarted by an armed populace....and they know it.

“too many guns and have yet to overcome racial tensions.”

Never mind those who have wanton every-day violence regardless of gun laws.

And I REALLY don’t want to hear it from any other damn country, none of which EVER have to deal with the “diversity” we do EXACTLY because our country is better than theirs, and the immigrants who came here knew it.
