Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

Facts is facts.

Janeane Garofalo told me I should loot to fight the establishment. You's a racist, bruh. No justice, no peace!

It's all true I'm sure, but Whittle's last line totally hit the mark for me.

I find this interesting. I know many here are against OC (for reference, I'm on the side of "fully support right to OC, but do so with discretion"), but there's a #BlackOpenCarry movement which is beginning. Wonder how it'll turn out. In the article below, some people are wishing that they'd just use #OpenCarry in general, while others defend the use of the Black at the front. Will this bring groups closer together eventually, or will it just turn into another wedge?

I think it helps disassemble the leftist argument that all gun owners are 60 year old, racist white men. It also opens Black folks up to seeing that conservatism and traditional American values/convictions aren't exclusionary.

The potential for trouble comes from race-baiters who will use it to militarize their vitriol. NBPP and other groups that want to play the victim card might pull the movement two steps back for each one forward.

It's one of those things that you feel deep down, but sometimes can't figure out how to articulate until someone like Whittle spells it out in plain language. I know it's something I've noticed since college, when this [black] speaker was openly advocating affirmative action "equality" [segregation]. Circa 2001. Fresh as ever in the second half of 2014. To him, skin color was paramount for identity and maintaining culture, and if equality or acceptance fell victim to this mindset, so be it.

BOOM! Now That's A Fucking Head Shoot!

FBHO.

The video has so much TRUTH in it. On one hand I'm overjoyed that someone is calling out the real racists and on the other hand I'm bummed that this is the reality in the US in 2014.

Yup, facts is facts.

Watch your 6 out there. Stay safe.
