I was listening to Sirius Left tonight (I am a liberal, but don't hold it against me) and listening to the new show that replaced Stephanie Miller, called Make It Plain.
It's a show about African American issues. The guy strikes me as one of these really nutty "America is still keeping the Black Man down" i.e. a whiny nut.) This was the first I really listened. He was talking to a caller about gun control, and of course, I had to call and remind Mr. Thompson about the racist roots of gun control.
He replied with the most amazing bit of mental gymnastics I've ever heard.
He basically said that while gun control was based in racism, NOW the lack of gun control is racism, because African Americans are killing each other with guns; and easy access to guns is just a Republican plot to make things harder for them.
....
Yeah, I know. I was DUMBFOUNDED when he laid this one on me. The circuit breaker in my brain protecting me from Dumb tripped audibly.
I just can't believe some people, sometimes. I was literally knocked speechless, and that doesn't happen often.
