Another "RUN on GUNS" thread...

Most of the article is bla bla bla... stuff we've been hearing for months.
Wouldn't have posted this if it hadn't been for one paragraph....

Snip:

Quote:

"Why are white people buying assault weapons?" said Ben Agger, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Arlington who wrote a book about the Virginia Tech slayings. "I almost hate to say it, but there is a deep-seated fear of the armed black man, because Obama now commands the military and other instruments of the justice system. They are afraid Obama will exact retribution for the very deep-seated legacy of slavery."

another:

Quote:

Some say they are worried that the incoming Obama administration will attempt to reimpose the ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004. Others fear the loss of their right to own handguns. A few say they are preparing to protect themselves in the event of a race war.

IMO - it portrays the white guy is raaayyysist...

I'm so sick of that.

Well, it sounds a lot like THAT guy actually is racist.

But I think the bulk of gun sales are going on out of fear of a DEMOCRAT controlled Congress and White House....figuring these guys will likely restrict everything they can get away with.

I hope folks of every color in this country are stocking up......an armed society is a polite society......I say EVERYBODY pack.

I was surprised to learn from my local gun stores that their largest sales have been in pistols. I was at Dick's killing time the other day, and they said that they haven't seen an increase in business because they don't carry pistols. They also don't carry AWs... but they do have some nice defensive shotguns for reasonable prices.

BTW... wait time for a CBI background check was running OVER 8 HOURS on Monday.

The one down here has been getting hit hard. Shotguns and bolt actions selling like crazy along with all types of ammo. The ammo section always has holes and low spots in it.

Retribution? For what, Affirmative Action? Hell the majority of white people in America came AFTER slavery.

Re: Another "RUN on GUNS" thread...

The other problem I have with it is .... well.. I guess two fold..
1-Psychs up our good black brothers and sisters to be more afraid and angry at white pe-po (as if they need any more gas thrown on that fire)

and 2- does the same for white folks who don't know better and just further aggrivates non-racist RKBA'rs..

This looks to me like the sowing of of the seeds of dissention and strife between races.... Psy-Ops or complete idiocy - you pick.
WANT A RACE WAR?? This is a helluva way to get one.

This guy was stirrin the pot and his editor needs an ass whoopin- unless of course that editor is an "African-American":sarcasm:

I'm not racist- I just hate stupid.

Sheez, that boy ain't even in office yet, and already we are being bombarded with racially charged "news" and articles from both sides of the fence.

There is no way on Earth this country will survive four years of finger-pointing and "Blame the coon/cracker" without an all out race war.

Sorry... but to me it's as obvious as mtnmans hatred for razors.

Postponing the Postmodern By Ben Agger

Quote:

This is not to suggest that socialism is, or should be, dropped as a political aim, to be hoped for and fought for. It is rather to suggest that socialism as an "imaginary" (vision, model, blueprint) has lost a great deal of its currency at a time when perestroika is celebrated, albeit falsely, as the triumph of capitalism over socialism and communism. Western Marxists have long understood Soviet command socialism to be a betrayal of Marx's socialist humanism, thus treating the collapse of the Soviet Union not as a referendum on capitalism but as an outcome of state-socialist "contradictions" in an era of "late socialism." Simply because the imaginary of socialism has been tainted by Cold War affiliation to the Soviet experience does not make socialism unworthy as a utopian goal of critical social theory. On the contrary, we need socialism more than ever now that both American and Soviet manifest destinies have been found wanting.
