Feeeeel the tolerance.
I think Mr. Maxwell should flex his second amendment rights and wing this racistalsharptonc@cksucker.
Blacks don’t like whites. It is rather sad to watch the mental gymanstics white people engage in rather than accept that basic fact.
To get folks zotted for flaming back
That mindset is not uncommon amongst isolated northern whites
Their racial and southern views are shaped by Quentin Tarantino
Intolerance is okay if you are black.
This is sad because Mitchell and Maxwell should be on the same page as to gun rights. Blacks were denied gun ownership in much of the South, a fact which enabled the Klan to attack them without much resistance.
While Mr. Mitchell described being assaulted by white racists during various civil rights marches, he cannot expect Mr. Maxwell to have suffered the same violence unless he was there too.
However, Mr. Maxwell’s description of having black friends in the military and afterwards, as well as the brave actions of his father, show that he is not a man of prejudice.
Re Mr. Mitchell’s history. Sounded very interesting but for him to blame the horrors on Maxwell’s people (who apparently weren’t involved in slavery or possibly not even in the US at the time), harms his position.
Just because someone didn’ march for something doesn’t mean that they don’t care.
However, the main issue of Maxwell’s email was about gun rights, which should be a colorblind topic.
When I was very young, my relatives in Austria were being shoot or gassed by the Nazis. They didn’t have any guns to protect themselves from evil.
If the southern Blacks had been allowed to own guns during the Reconstruction Period and even into the early 1900’s, the predations of the KKK would have been met with resistance and a lot of the atrocities would never have happened.
Both Mr. Maxwell and Mitchell have a lot in common once Mitchell stops playing the race card and realizes the a gun can be used to prevent or stop evil, which knows no single color.
Time to take a longer view of the subject and drop the race-baiting. Criminals don’t discriminate by color, only by the vulnerability of their victims.
Now that’s some vivid invective, I have to say.
WHAT?
Can somebody explain “imported”? I don’t get it and I pride myself in being completely up to date on racial slurs!
I’m guessing that his constituents think he is a genius.
The perpetual victim. Why give it up when the payoff is so rewarding?

Where is Mitchell’s outrage over black gun crime?
To borrow a phrase from a certain Alabamian, “there is not a dime’s worth of difference ... “ between a po’ white Alabamian and a po’ black Alabamian. They both believe in the same God, they both like to hunt, and they both fiercely defend their families.
Rep Mitchell and Rep Maxwell probably have more in common than they have in difference.
Amish...... *sigh* .... again
Which white citizens? The ones with the ambition and brain power to build the state he's living in and the constitution his descendents could never have created?
Mobile Alabama done elected themselves a whole lot of messed up.
