(Chicago Police Supt.) McCarthy: NRA, Palin A Part Of 'Government-Sponsored Racism'
WLS-Chicago ^ | 6-24-11 | WLS

CHICAGO (WLS) - Chicago's new top cop says the accessibility to firearms in America is an extension "of government-sponsored racism" that goes back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow.

Speaking to parishoners at St. Sabina Church earlier this month, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy took to the microphone after Father Michael Pfleger spoke about gun control.

McCarthy said the topic of race is a sensitive issue "because everybody's afraid of race" but that he wasn't afraid to broach to subject.

So here’s what I want to tell you. See, let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting’ scared? Government sponsored racism."

"Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy. Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children," he said.

"The NRA does not like me, and I’m okay with that. We’ve got to get the gun debate back to center, and it’s got to come with the recognition of who’s paying the price for the gun manufacturers being rich and living in gated communities," McCarthy said.

McCarthy illustrated his point by recalling a crime scene investigation while he was a police official in Newark, New Jersey where five children were shot, two of whom were killed. McCarthy said when he got home, he turned on his television to unwind and find an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" showing.

"She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms. Why wasn't she at the crime scene with me?"

That does it, I’m now undecided. Nuke Mecca first or Chicago.

Actually it is Operation “Fast and Furious” and Gunwalker. He is saying that our Government is supplying guns to Blacks in Chicago so that they will kill each other.

It’s a roundabout way of saying Whites are responsible for black on black murders. White’s get blamed for everything.
It’s Bush’s fault.

“League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”

Fanboys didn’t care for it because the movie messed with timelines and characters from the Comic Books, uh I mean Graphic Novels.

But it was a fun romp and I got a kick out of it.

Perhaps if he wants to get guns off the street the first place he should start with his own sidearm, continuing to the rest of his force.

That should cut down on gun violence, right?

“Father” Pfleger is a false teacher. He clearly doesn’t know Christ and is not concerned with teaching His gospel. He is a purveyor of hate and victimhood and nothing more.

His House of Heresy should be shut down.

Gee, McCarthy, why wasn’t your buddy obama there at the crime scene with you?

He’s always telling us he supports the right to bear arms. Even though he’s lying, he’s still publicly said it.

If anyone is wondering why violence is running rampant in Chicago, this guy is the reason.

Also, from Wikipedia...

Pfleger’s social activism has brought him media coverage throughout Chicago and beyond. He has often collaborated and associated with African American religious, political and social activists such as Jeremiah Wright, Joseph Lowery, Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, Cornel West, and Louis Farrakhan.[5]

Considering Illinois was shown on a map as a source state for the ‘river of iron’ into Mexico, their BATFE office was likely in on “Fast and Furious”, if not a participant.

There’s not much to say when folk are this far off the chart.

Good luck Chicago. You sure rival California for some cream of the crop lunatics.

And if you saying anything against him you are anti-cop but it is ok for him to lambaste the NRA & Sarah instead of doing his Freakin' Job... Go figure....

So, according to this guy, our government was using racism as a motive for Fast and Furious.

This is plain nuts, they are off their rocker to use inflammatory speech in order to influence opinion. No wonder we have race issues with people like this around. Can they get any lower.

“Chicago’s new top cop says the accessibility to firearms in America is an extension “of government-sponsored racism” that goes back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow.”

The lad knows nothing about Jim Crow history, or, he does, and is doing the liberal spin of standing history on it’s head.

The 100 year old Jim Crow New York City Sullivan Act (still in force today) was designed and enacted specifically to keep firearms out of the hands of Blacks and other swarthy looking peoples pouring into NYC at the time.

The power of this guy to apply logic and reason while using persuasive rhetoric puts him in the same league as Socrates. NOT!!!! Shortly he’s about to wake up and find himself surrounded by states filled with “bitter clingers” that carry firearms on a regular basis while his population of thugs victimize the rest of the city. Sounds like a prescription for the law-abiding to realize they can only depend on themselves.
