Ely's most favorite pundit talks about the Buffalo shooting:


Speaking of the shooter and his glorious "manifesto" which ely has no doubt read, Tucker says:

"He writes like the mental patient he is"

But is he more or less racist than Tucker's writers?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alright for real now...

IMO the idea of "white supremacy" is mostly nonsensical. There may be a handful of extremists like that, but imo it's very rare.

It's mostly about comfort and it effects almost everyone.

Virtually every immigrant group in the US has tended to settle with others similar to themselves. That's why in NYC for example we have had neighborhoods that were/are mostly Polish, German, Italian, Irish, Jewish, Muslim, Indian, Asian, Hispanic, black, white, etc... People tend to group by race, religion, nationality, etc.. not because of feelings of superiority, but because of language, music, food, and overall culture. They want to feel comfortable and tend to feel most comfortable with people similar to themselves or that they may already know.

The downside is that people that are comfortable start feeling uncomfortable when people of other cultures start moving in and threatening to change what they are comfortable with.

That creates friction. Ethnic and racial issues are nothing new.

Some people then go off the deep end trying to protect their comfort.

The vast majority of immigration into this country lately has been and continues to be non European. The left is encouraging it (for votes) and the right is not doing much about it (for cheap labor).

So you are going to get pockets of discomfort, friction, and occasional violence, especially if crime, jobs and other issues are a factor.

None of this is hard to understand or predict if you are living in the real world and not living in some left wing idealistic la la land. It's been happening for over a century here and continues here and elsewhere.

It takes a LONG time for assimilation to occur and for that comfort level to expand. It's not just about "white" and "non white" except in the minds of left wing dirt bags trying to make it all about race.

Back in the day when I grew up during the days where mass shootings were rare it was easier to acquire a gun. If you had cash, I.D., proving you are 18, and a thumb print you were out with a handgun and ammo in 10 minutes. That was in CALIFORNIA, the guns are easily available claim fueling mass shootings is BS.


Back in that day every other kid wasn't diagnosed and medicated for some mental issue, we had no social media and video games were just a bunch of connected dots. We weren't in the timeout era, kids feared their parents more than the cops. No one coddled screw up kids, they got bread and water plus an ass wiping. We didn't have music that glorified gang violence. We also didn't have anti police people in political positions. The media mostly reported events and facts, they didn't have a political agenda.



So what is it, does one thing standout or is it a little of all of the above?
All of the above.

This one "may" be a hate crime. Interesting how the media covers things when the racist isn't a white guy.


I wonder how many Asians black people have killed compared to whites killing blacks and do note whites out number blacks by what 4-1 or so?

Last week my favorite bus driver had his face slashed from his left eye to his lip. No argument, no nothing. Guy just got on the bus and attacked with no warning. The driver is black with four children. His assailant was caught a couple days later and is also black.



Not a word from Biden.

Black on black crime is not to be spoken about by a Democrat, you should have learned that by now.

Humans are flawed in many ways.

one thing on the list = individuals or in-groups think that every 'thing' and every advantage they have is due to merit, genetics, god, etc (merit based privilege)...
while SIMULTANEOUSLY believing ever thing better than what they have, and/or every disadvantage over what they have is due to either their personal nonpreference or to Favoritism/cronyism/nepotism (non merit-based models) preventing them.

it's a stupid coping mechanism in our flawed brains, and it's also abused/manipulated by the powerful and by private predatory markets to polarize in general, and specifically the disenfranchised.

also, generally if you take everything from a human and scare them we tend to organize by things like race and religion (eg prison populations). Such, the powerful and the predatory know that this is a fertile ground to manipulate

An excerpt from a USA Today article:

"Unfortunately, the shooting in Buffalo is another incident of racist violence, that follows a legacy of anti-Black violence that goes back to even before this country's founding," said Da'Mere Wilson, a researcher at the University of Arizona. "This incident of collective grief, felt most acutely by the Black community in Buffalo, has reverberating effects through the coverage of these incidents through mass media."
Studies show race-based traumatic stress can result from experiences with hate crimes and racism and can lead to symptoms such as depression, physical pain, insomnia and hypervigilance, according to Mental Health America, a Virginia-based advocacy, research and education group.



So let's just keep painting blacks as victims of white people. How many black people are killed by fellow black people compared to whites killing blacks?


From Wikipedia:

According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known.[52] Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races.[53][54] The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar.

91% of black or African-American victims were killed by blacks or African-Americans.




Of course anytime a white person commits murder on a black person they are branded a racist, like Chauvin killing George Floyd with no evidence he was racist.


F**k the liberal media and Joe Biden.

Robert Fischer...absolutely. Just listen to the rhetoric from our "Leaders". This is inarguable.

More nonsense:





The burden of America’s long love affair with guns disproportionately affects the Black community and has done so since the Second Amendment was written into law. Carol Anderson is an African-American studies professor at Emory University and the author of The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America, which explores the history of the Second Amendment and how it has kept the Black population helpless and at higher risk of gun violence, especially at the hands of white supremacists.


This implies a white supremacist is far more dangerous to a black person than anyone else? Let us say the second amendment is repealed, are all the black gang members, the real threat to black lives, going to hand over their guns?

Of course not.

I hope these Lunatics keep pounding these very issues all the way to November. People need to be reminded of this...daily.
