White gun owners more likely to be racists: study
Washington Times ^ | November 6, 2013 | Andrea Noble

"................................Citing results that show attitudes among white people toward guns appear to be influenced by “illogical racial biases,” the study’s authors suggest that gun-control policies might need to be implemented “independent of public opinion.”

I’m betting that being critical of urban culture is “racist”.

I’m betting that being fed up with minority victimhood is “racist”.

I’m betting that being fed up with supporting a moocher class in America is “racist”...

I'll make it easier for you...BEING WHITE IS RACIST!

I’m sure it is, but I thought I’d ask -

is it “racist” of me to believe that someone will treat me with disdain because I’m white?

"OK I’m white and I own three guns. Does that make me three times as racist as a white person who owns only one?"

If you are a conservative or a Republican, they'll call you a racist anyway, guns or no guns.

I’ll head to the range,but since my preferred weapon is .308-I’ll be practicing my single tap.

Great point, and hell, there are even worse areas than that to choose from. (I'm maybe six miles from there right now.)

The other day one of the local TV stations led the evening news with a story, “Hate crime in Shoreline.” What happened was that some drunk and/or mentally ill white person attacked a Korean man at a bus stop while shouting things about Japanese and Vietnamese. In other words, the assailant was an incoherent wreck, representative of nobody. The injuries to the Korean man were described is “minor.” Without intending to minimize the incident (which actually happened a week earlier), I still do not think it was the top story of the day, the day before the election. But any white-on-minority crime tickles the fancy of the media and rises to the top of the news cycle.

I thought your points were perfect though.

To your question...NO - I expect to be treated with disdain because I’m white. Especially a white male...that pretty much makes me the lowest kind of scumbag on earth.

I am having fewer and fewer problems with racism.
At the rate Obama, his cronies, and his “children” are going, I’ll be extending apologies to the KKK, Aryan Nation, and Christian Identity for thinking they were pointy headed morons.
