Freedom is racism

Earlier I found an almost comical example of ignorance and stupidity which nonetheless shocked me. Not that comically ignorant stupidity is shocking per se, but it frightened me to see the kind of thinking that emanates from a chief of police in one of America’s largest cities. That’s because idiots with power are scary.

Anyway, here’s Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy talking about gun control.

“So here’s what I want to tell you. See, let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting’ scared? Government sponsored racism.”

“Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy. Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children,” he said.

As to the racist “dot” he so glaringly left out, most readers here are thoroughly familiar with the racist history of gun control. I guess McCarthy figures the best way to conceal that is by asserting that the absence of racist gun control laws constitutes racism. According to his logic, if it is “racist” to allow urban black citizens to have the Second Amendment freedoms that are their birthright, then urban gun control laws aimed at taking them away constitute the opposite of racism.

Wouldn’t that mean that freedom itself is racist?

Chicago’s chief cop goes on to make some sort of “connection” between rich gun manufacturers, gated communities, and Sarah Palin:

“The NRA does not like me, and I’m okay with that. We’ve got to get the gun debate back to center, and it’s got to come with the recognition of who’s paying the price for the gun manufacturers being rich and living in gated communities,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy illustrated his point by recalling a crime scene investigation while he was a police official in Newark, New Jersey where five children were shot, two of whom were killed. McCarthy said when he got home, he turned on his television to unwind and found an episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” showing.

“She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms. Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”

I guess that’s supposed to be a rhetorical question directed at his audience. Presumably, they see a connection between caribou hunting in Alaska and dead children in New Jersey.

Who knew that bullets could travel that far?

If this man were anyone else, he would be comical. The problem is, he has real power, so he’s a menace.

    The first article I read on this started out by mentioning that he followed Michael Pflegm, er, Pfleger so before I even got to McCarthy’s comment I knew the direction it was headed. The crazy is thick in Chicago.

    This new CPD commissoiner is beyond stupid. And all this while I used to think that suck bat-shit crazy leftists didnt exist amongst the ranks of police officers. I mistakenly thought that police officers dealt with reality in a manner that academics and coffee-shop leftists never do, and thus would not be as stupid, believing in all manner of myths that are not supported by facts

    But this McCarthy guy proves me wrong.

    Criminals and Liberals are working hand in hand with one another to keep the cycle going. Allow me to explain.

    Urban decline has been going on for some time which is exactly what Liberals want. As crime rises, the working, married, educated people leave the city looking for a better life for their families.

    The single mother on the other hand has replaced the urban male with a government check. They are stuck in the city and have no other place to go. Their children with little future turn to gangs for social activities, drugs to ease their pain and to put a few dollars in their pocket. They in turn have children to replace the ones killed in drug wars. The cycle keeps moving in perpetual motion.

    Liberals want to keep poor white, black and brown people right where they are. They want them to depend on Liberals to survive. They want them uneducated. They want them on welfare. They want their children to be criminals to perpetuate the cycle for ever. The more people that are on welfare results in more Liberals being elected. Liberals don’t care about the poor, they care about having power over them.

    White Liberals give way to Black and Brown Liberals who continue to keep the urban poor in poverty for years to come. Vote for us, we are the same color as you and we are here to help. Look at Detroit for example. Detroit is a classic example of how years of liberal government programs have failed and will continue to fail.

    Now Liberals take away the object that gives them a chance of survival. Not all people in the inner city are criminals. Liberals want them powerless to defend themselves against the crime wave they are facing each day. Guns aren’t killing the urban poor!!! Gangs and Liberal government are!!!

    Cut to the chase . . .

    McCarthy is a clown.

    Not much more commentary is needed.

    Freedom isn’t racist.

    Assuming that all humankind is capable of freedom isn’t racist.

    It is, however, false.
