..............In the Right-wing's dreamworld, the Obama Phone Lady is a "surplus" person with no place in an Ayn Rand fantasy, what is the Tea Party GOP's dystopian soon-to-be made true reality.
Culture is also transmitted through historical memory.
The white gun shop owner who believes that Obama is a socialist usurper represents a type ofwhiteness that is not benign. While white folks imagine themselves through the lens of white privilege (where they are kind, innocent, and good). For others, Whiteness (and by implication, white people) has been a harbinger of violence, death, destruction, and exclusion. White men with guns who are drunk on white racial resentment, and deeply proud of a gun culture that helped to do the work of both formal white supremacy, as well as Jim and Jane Crow, have historically been sources of deep anxiety for communities of color in the United States. White authority understood the power of guns and worked systematically to deny African Americans, and others, the right and privilege of gun ownership. The latter would allow us the ability to resist the regime of white terror that was the norm for most of United States history.
For example, the systematic disarmament of black men in this country after the Civil War was designed to make the African-American community especially vulnerable to white mob violence, racial pogroms, and ethnic cleansing. Even allowing for that fact, we resisted wherever and whenever possible........
It would seem that Whiteness is always innocent--especially when it is caring a semi-automatic rifle. By contrast, blackness (and black people) is always a threat--even more so when holding a "free" cell phone.

And of course it’s not mentioned what political party led the charge for civil disarmament of non-whites.
I’ll give Salon one hint: there’s a black one in the White Hut as we speak.
Notice the hatred for the people who built this country and fund it with their hard work.
The fact that someone could call that howling, screeching, uncouth, half-savage semi-retarded imbecile a “lady”, and proceed to attack white people, makes me fear for the future of my country.
And at the direction of the 'Grand Kleagle' of the Democratic Party ....
Heres a differnce...
I payed for my rifles, exept those I inherited whcih of course my Grand Fathers, and Parents paid for.
If the us gov wants to start hading out free rifles and ammo (monthly) then there might be some equivalence
Hilarious. One myth is disputed by invoking...another myth.
But hang on. Mythic black welfare queen? Isn't this column about the video in which such a living creature actually appears and proudly states her credentials?
I started to reply, but you said it perfectly.
No, the blacks taking the free ride just come across as REALLY stupid and illiterate whenever they open their mouth - KEEP OBAMA IN PRESIDENT!
It sounds like the girlymen down at the Saloon have a problem with “white” men.
I find little more amusing than conceited, pseudo-intellectuals, myopically presenting their rationale for showing contempt of white anxiety over black culture while assuming the validity of black anxiety over white culture.
The NRA has been in the lead in assisting African Americans, and other ethnicity's with gun ownership and training for over 130 years.
Oh, it's Salon, they hate the NRA. Don't want to give any praise to the enemy.

Democratic Party of Illinois declares war on gun owners! Vows ban on America’s favorite rifle.
October 2, 2012
What would you say to a group of politicians who wanted to ban America’s favorite pastime, baseball? But what if they claimed it was dangerous?
You would think they were pretty out of touch, wouldn’t you? And you would be absolutely right.
Well, the Democratic Party of Illinois (DPI) has declared war on everyday, law-abiding gun owners in Illinois along with America’s favorite rifle, the ubiquitous and versatile homeland defense rifle known to many as the AR-15.
The Democratic Party of Illinois proudly wears the “DEMOCRATS: The Party of Gun Control” label in a series of mailings sent by the DPI as part of a coordinated attack on law-abiding gun owners in Illinois.
Stephanie Kifowit wants to distract prospective constituents from her party’s support of a 67% increase in the income tax rate in Illinois, the abolition of the death penalty and our state’s terrible deficit spending and instead create a strawman in the form of America’s favorite rifle. Shame on her and shame on the Democratic Party of Illinois for their war on gun owners.
The mailings suggest that owners of America’s favorite rifle are a bad hair day from shooting up their towns and cities and are a danger to their families, neighbors and communities. Of course, the Democratic candidates are our only defense to bloodletting in our schools and on our streets with their promises to support more bans on repeating rifles and full capacity magazines.
