Ted Nugent

Just pointing out how selective the outrage is.

100 black kids can kill 100 black kids and nobody cares. Soon as a nonwhite person is in the mix, it's a national news story and Al Sharpton is ready to march on washington.

I dont see how he was making that claim. He says:

"Trayvon had no reason not to attack, because it was the standard thug thing to do. See Chicago any day of the week.

With nearly 700 examples of this truism played out in Chicago in 2012 alone, no one can possibly dispute the recent surge in black racism increasing throughout Barack Obama’s presidency."

That isn't about selective outrage. He is claiming Trayvon fought Zimmerman because he wanted to act like a thug from Chicago. I don't understand how he determined that. His statement about the surge of black racism in Chicago seems like a complete non-sequitor.

The definition of racism sure has broadened..... pretty much if you're white and american, you're a racist.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I am a white American and no one has ever called me racist that I know of.

A summary of what i think he is saying is this....

Trayvon is a thug.
This is what thugs do, they act violently.
See chicago for a reference of thugs acting violently.

Then why did you say it was about selective outrage?

Also he starts with an assumption that Trayvon is a thug? The next two lines are unnecessary because the defintion of a thug is someone who is violent. Might as well be saying:

Trayvon is black
Black people have dark skin
Chicago has a lot of black people who have dark skin

Of course Trayvon being black is actually a fact rather than an unjustified assumption so really Nugent's argument isn't quite as coherant. His statement just comes off as an immature way to take a stab at violence in Chicago which isn't relevant to this case.

Everything isnt a code word for black.

Someone can say thug and actually mean thug.... thug isnt a synonym for black guy. A thug is someone prone to criminal activity. Someone who might rob houses and pack jewelry into their backpack, someone who might get expelled from school for graffiting it, someone who has gang tattoos and brags about getting in street fights... you know, the type of guy who would see some creepy ass cracker following him and turn around and knock that cracker out.
