I guess I'm not sure how you distinguish the two. How is black people organizing to make sure their rights aren't trampled on so different from gun owners organizing to make sure their rights aren't trampled on? It seems to me blacks have a lot more recent and domestic history supporting their concerns than gun advocates.
When some crazy kid shoots up a school, gun owners dont rush to the defense of the kid and make claims that the system was out to get the kid or that it wouldnt have happened if the kid was white/black or whatever.....
If a guy with a knife stabs a guy with a gun, gun owners wouldnt say that it only happened because he had a gun.
If a guy with a gun gets pulled over for doing 65 in a school zone with no tag and a missing tail light, the gun owner wouldnt say he only got pulled over because he was a gun owner.
The victim mentality needs to go. "because im black" might be the most overused excuse in the history of humanity. Nobody faults black people or anyone else for fighting for their rights and freedoms, but the black community as a whole seems to either ignore their problems or blame them on someone else.
So you agree there is nothing wrong with black groups in theory? Also, I must have missed the black kid who shot up a school and had a horde of supporters behind him.
Whether i think there is something wrong with them or not doesnt matter. It's a free country. My problem lies only with the double standard.
It matters with respect to whether you are consistent about what groups of people should be allowed to organize and on what basis they do. While you may feel that you are attacking double standards, it often comes off as attacking a particular race.
Maybe the double standard often is a particular race and if the bias wasnt so, the bias wouldnt be present in my argument.
Maybe I am reading this wrong, but are you suggesting that standing up for the second amendment is the same as supporting Lanza?
Oh, black kid shoots up school?

Dont think that's what he meant.
That is absolutely not what I am saying. Sinflix was saying when a black person murders someone, black organizations all support the criminal. I was saying I can't think of an instance where a black person shot up a bunch of students and then had the community supporting him for it. I don't think any person supports Lanza or a cold blooded murderer of innocent people period.
Black people/organizations often come to the aid or sympathize with black criminals. I may have taken it a bit far with using that as an analogy..... but.....
