I’m not sure how the right’s attempted pivot on police violence vs minorities to gun violence as a whole really helps any conservative point at all, especially when conservatives have their heads in the sand about gun control and mental health.
"black crime is bad" is just an ignorant dog whistle for "black people are a worse class of humans from birth".
else wise, if we accept all humans are born with relatively the same propensity to violence and crime, and that circumstances that you're born and raised in influence greatly the chance you do/don't commit crimes, then we as a society have failed the black community.
but no, how could that be, we stopped slavery when our great grand parents were born, and stopped whites only water fountains when our parents were born. so how could black people still be failing?
these are the same idiots who'd probably think if you remove toxic sludge from a field that plants will grow just fine in it the next growing season. environmental pollution doesn't work like that. and if you toss seeds in sand and another handful in dirt you'll get more of a harvest from the dirt.
but if these simpletons accept that our society should do more, prepare to gasp, taxes might go up for them at a rate of like 300$/year. oh no......
