Racism In White Americans Linked To Gun Ownership And Gun Control Opposition

No control group?

No empirical method?

No look at minorities with guns - only whites?

Defining racism as: supporting longer prison sentences for criminals regardless of race -- because the study says blacks are more likely to commit crimes therefore it is racist to want tougher sentences -- wanting more means testing for welfare regardless of race, because the study says that blacks are more likely to be on welfare, therefore it racist to want to reduce welfare fraud -- etc...


Seems like a legit study...

I think the study should also use swimming as a sign that white people are racist.

Since apparently minorities are less likely to swim as well as whites, whites that enjoy swimming are obviously showing "subtle racism" and I bet therefore whites that own guns are more likely to swim! Survey Finds Blacks and Latinos Less Likely to Swim Well Than Whites - WNYC

Then the same logically impaired people who did the gun study can show how black people that enjoy swimming or swim well are Uncle Toms.

How do you discuss this? None of the questions or anything is provided. As noted above.....being for longer prison sentences makes one a racist? How does this work? How was the question worded?

Its also linked to a lot of other things as well.....like BREATHING.....apparently. I will say it again....MOST whites are racist.....and Most of those who are racist do not even realize it (and seek not to have the epiphany) and or they see it as REALISM, based upon statistical data. Each generation of whites seem to always find their own rationalizations to justify their negative beliefs.

I will also say this about racism. Racism today has evolved in such a way that people have CIRCLES if you are part of a circle, you get granted exceptions, for the most part, towards any negative beliefs or feelings one has toward the race you are part of. Racism manifest more towards people of a different color that people do not know than it does toward the people of that color that they do now and are part of their circle. Thus, having a diverse circle is not evidence that one is not a racist.

Strange new world we live in when calling something for what it is is termed racism.

I don't think most white people are racist but my definition of most may be different than yours...

Or your definition of racism may be different from mine.

MOST of them anyway. Not actually formally belonging to a gang doesn't mean they aren't gang members either.
