"................................Citing results that show attitudes among white people toward guns appear to be influenced by “illogical racial biases,” the study’s authors suggest that gun-control policies might need to be implemented “independent of public opinion.”

A Pew Research Center study from January found that 53 percent of whites said they want to protect their rights to gun ownership while only 24 percent of blacks said the same.

LMAO! So wait... we choose defend ourselves while blacks don't, and we're racist?

This is absolutely upside down bizarro freakazoid crazy world crap here. I'm beside myself at how this garbage passes as research?

...“One person can read this and say gun owners are racists — and that’s not what it says,” said John Hudak, gun policy researcher with the Brookings Institution. “It says racists are gun owners.”....

Liberal rule #1: race will be attributed to anything on which we are against.

I am sure that persons of African decent living in inner-city Chicago who have acquired a gun are NOT racist in the least. Let’s just ax them to see if they like white people. Remember, Chicago has had conceal-carry for many decades - but it’s been for criminals only.

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.

Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher.

The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.

“implemented independent of public opinion” = asking for a Civil War.

I posted a press release from the college in Australia that did the study about that early this morning and .... poof, it’s gone.

Given the laughable academic backgrounds of most of these study perps, why bother reading it?

I wonder what their determination of whether a person is racist involved...

I’m betting that being critical of urban culture is “racist”.
I’m betting that being fed up with minority victimhood is “racist”.
I’m betting that being fed up with supporting a moocher class in America is “racist”...

“symbolic racism, which is a subtle but modern measure of anti-black racism...”

Symbolic Racism= Anything other than complete adoration of any liberal policy agenda
