The US War on Blacks!

[Kidlicious]

I'm surprised at how such a blatant troll thread has turned out so successfully.

BK kept it going. It would be dead if he didn't.

In 2008-2012, the report says, guns were used in 42,419 criminal homicides and only 1,108 justifiable homicides -- defined as the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony by a private citizen.

Yup!



Honestly, there might be less overall death if Obama shock troops were actually going out and confiscating guns.

and in that case, the only people who would die would be idiot gun owners

SO WIN WIN

[Sava]

also, a lot of the dead perps would probably be racist white trash piece of **** too

since most gun owners are

Speaking of how the US has treated minorities as crap...

Recently declassified documents from the WW2 era show that the US government conducted a series of chemical weapons tests on US soldiers based on a racial catagorization system. The War Department believed that chemical weapons would effect different races differently so they deliberately exposed black, hispanic, and Asian soldiers to various chemical weapons to see if nonwhites might be less susceptible to them. A small group of white soldiers were also exposed to provide a baseline but hundreds of black, Puerto Rican, and Japanese-American soldiers were exposed to see if they were racially more resistant to chemical weapons.

Not surprisingly the results showed chemical weapons effectiveness did not vary by race. It ****ed them all up.

Sava, using white as a derogatory term is no better than black. It needs to stop.

I've used it as a specifying term... e.g. "white conservatism", "white trash"

where have I used it as a derogatory term?

[Dinner]

I always considered the phrase white trash to be descriptive rather than a racial slur.

Poor mods - this place must be like herding cats on some days!

I agree - I think the company is better at night.

I have to agree. Given how obvious it was from the outset, I'd have scored it 0/10 but since it seems to have gotten someone banned because of their reaction to it I'm going to have to revise the score to a 9/10.

11 essential facts about guns and mass shootings in the United States WP

You guys need to read this, the graph about the increase in shooter incidents is frightening - you can't simply pretend it's not happening any more...

4. Of the 12 deadliest shootings in the United States, six have happened from 2007 onward.

As this map by The Washington Post shows, several of the deadliest shootings ever in the United States have happened in just the past few years -- including the massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. These were the two shootings that claimed the most lives, and the third deadliest shooting was in 1991 in Killeen, Tex. Wednesday's incident in Charleston would not be among this group of the deadliest shootings in modern American history.

It's like each new shooter is trying to out do the last...

Something can be descriptive and a slur.

[Sava]

also, it seems to me that for a term to be considered derogatory to a race, it needs to actually... you know, be insulting... on it's own... or targeting the person's race in some way

Terms like "white trash" don't attack anyone's whiteness. It is to specific between white people who are trash and those who are not. Otherwise, the "white" wouldn't be necessary.

I've attacked conservatives for being conservative. Gun owners for owning guns. Trash for being trash.

I mean, Aeson, you are the boss and I'd respect your rules.

But don't give in to the "WAHHH REVERSE RACISM" whiner bull****

Reading about them must be more fun than abusing sheep for you.
