Today’s racist post was inspired by the following letter (second one down) in today’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.
I wonder why the NRA and its supporters think our country’s citizens fall short of citizens in places like the U.K., Japan, Sweden and others. The words, “Guns don’t kill people, people do,” have become the battle cry of many who think guns have no role in our country’s high rate of gun homicides. In places like the U.K. and many other countries, the gun homicide rate is much less when compared to the U.S.
According to the NRA’s mantra, this is not due to our ease of obtaining a gun (legally and illegally), but because of the “people” who have the gun. I think our country has some of the most capable, compassionate and engaged citizens on earth. If the statement was, “Our guns don’t kill people, our people do,” it might get proponents of “leave my guns alone” to seek to improve the “people” they denigrate instead of continuing to disregard them until election time.

Dear Michael – You are full of shit! If you remove a certain group of people from the homicide by gun statistics in this country you would find that we actually have a homicide rate that equals or is less than places like the UK. What group of people is that? Black people. That is an inconvenient truth. It may be racist but it is the truth. The majority of gun deaths in this country occur in the black community. And the people killed by blacks with guns are overwhelmingly other black people. So I guess we should say, “Guns don’t kill people, black people kill people”. As Marion Berry once said, “Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.”
Many of these killings in the black community are due to the welfare state set up in this country. They are also due to the insane War on Drugs, which has been just about as succesful as our War on Poverty and our War on Terror. Whenever our gummint declares war on some intangible like poverty, drugs, or terror you two things are sure to follow: it wall cost a lot of money and it will fail. Look at how much money we have spent on our poverty programs. Yet we still have the same percentage of poverty in this country as when we started. Our War on Drugs has been a colossal failure as well and has bred crime just like Prohibition did. We learned nothing from that failed experiment.
Go ahead Michael. Take some time. Crunch the numbers and you will see just how much gun crime drops when you remove blacks from the statistics. It ain’t racist if it’s true.
Update: I left out another group as well. That would be illegal immigrants of the Hispanic persuasion. As far as gun control, let’s look at the city with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. That would be the Dimocrat stronghold of Chicago where even Republicans vote for Dimocrats. Of course, they have to die first. As one of my friends told me, “My father voted Republican all his life, but since he died, he has voted Dimocrat in the last three elections.”
In Chcago a person is shot every 3 hours and 24 minutes. In Chicago, someone is murdered every 19 hours and 38 minutes.
There are some other metrics at the site. The race of the victims or assailants are 77.6 percent black, 17.6 percent Hispanic, 4.8 percent white/other. Just think of what eliminating blacks and Hispanics from the Chicago population would do for crime in that city. They could lay off over half the police force. Jails would be empty as well. They are banning the wrong thing in Chicago.
As long as I’m talking about illegal immigrants I have a plan on how to profit by it. Neither party is against illegal immigration because the Republicans’ puppet masters in business and the Chamber of Commerce want the cheap labor and the Dimocrats want the votes. As an aside, the unions should be against illegal immigration since it drives down the cost of labor but their leaders are selling out the rank and file just like the Republicans are selling out their base. Just keep on electing Boner and McConnell you booger eatin’ moh-rons. And we need to elect a Republican president for the Supreme Court. How’s that working out? John Roberts – Bush 43. David Souter – Bush 41. But surely Jeb wouldn’t appoint someone like that. Yeah. Pull my finger. He’s a Bush isn’t he? But I digress.
The gummint should levy a 10 percent (or larger) tax on money wired to Mexico from the United Sates. Mexicans come here and live 20 to a house to save money so they can wire it back home to their families in Mexico. Tax that money. I’m trying to remember where I read the figures of money sent by Mexicans to their families in Mexico. If I remember correctly, It’s in the billions. It is the largest influx of money into Mexico. It is even more than the oil revenues from Mexican oil. Just think what 10 to 20 percent of that would be. In Mexican areas of Atlanta there are always check cashing outlets and Western Union outlets to wire money to Mexico. Have Western Union collect the tax for the gummint.
