Columnist Who Inspired Costas Gun Control Lecture Now Claims ‘NRA Is the New KKK’

(Photo via Fox Sports)
NBC sportcaster Bob Costas made headlines yesterday after interrupting Sunday Night Football with a lecture on gun control, following the horrifying murder-suicide of NFL player Jovan Belcher over the weekend.
However, most of his speech was just paraphrasing a recent article by Kansas City columnist Jason Whitlock, who Costas claimed “said it so well” that additional commentary was unnecessary.
Now, with national media attention turned his way, Whitlock is taking his argument for gun control to an entirely new level. Apparently he thinks the National Rifle Association is the “new” Ku Klux Klan.
Newsbusters has the transcript from Whitlock’s interview with Roland Martin:
WHITLOCK: Sports gets so much attention, and people tune out the real world, that I try to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about the real world when sports lends itself to that and try to open people’s eyes. You know, I did not go as far as I’d like to go because my thoughts on the NRA and America’s gun culture – I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests [at heart].
I think it’s obvious if you’ve traveled abroad, and traveled to countries where they actually have legitimate gun laws, that we don’t have to have what we have here in America, where people somehow think a gun enhances their liberty, and that people somehow think a gun makes them safer. It just doesn’t. A gun turns some kids listening to music into a murder scene. And uh, you know, if you don’t have a gun, you drive home. You know, kids listening to some loud music, you don’t like it… you go home and complain to your wife. But when you have a gun, you open fire, potentially, and take the life of a child.
Obviously, Jovan Belcher was disturbed. Obviously, you know, there were problems between he and his girlfriend. But if there’s no gun, potentially, it’s a domestic-violence issue that doesn’t end in death. Maybe it ends in someone getting hurt, and Jovan going to jail and getting some help. But, you know, any time you add a gun to a situation, you just enhance the consequences. [Emphasis added]

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 2:58pmI bet this big fat sack of crap had a gun pulled on him when he was trying to throw his weight around and found out the gun does makes all men equal and will kill the sex drive of a rapist football player real quick. I wonder how many times a gun has saved a woman from being raped by a football player or Jason Whitlock?

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 3:21pmHis photograph tells you everything you need to know.
The fact that the dialog took place with Roland Martin is icing on the cake.
Martin is the Communist News Network’s [CNN} token affirmative action commentator.
As Rush stated “so well” this afternoon, according to these idiots the NRA truck
just needs to show up and dump off a load of guns and all blacks will kill each other
off.
The token CNN n e g r o is too stupid to know it was his own party that cooked
up the KKK in the first place. They were the militant arm of the Democrat party.
Its time to clean house people. It really is time.

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 5:35pmMaybe Whitlock found the answer to the true problem. Since the NRA is just trying to get rid of African Americans with lax gun laws and proliferation of drugs (I didn’t even know the NRA did this) maybe African Americans should be outlawed from owning guns for their own good. I mean the best way to stop the NRA’s racism is to stop an entire race from killing each other and themselves by blocking their right to bear arms. You know, for their own good and to stop racism. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

The more I think about this the more hilarious it gets. Really read and think about this statement for a moment. What he’s stating here is that the big evil NRA [whitey] is pumping black communities with guns and drugs [against their will of course].
Ring a bell? Remember Rev Jeremiah Wright ranting that AIDS is a biological weapon invented and

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 6:17pmA friend of mine told me long ago that “blacks are just not civilized”, and he was right. Just beneath the surface of every black man, woman and child is a savage that could emerge any second, at the slightest perceived provocation or insult, and stab, shoot or bludgeon you to death. Now, watch the Blaze censor my comments. There is a old adage and it goes something like this: “A person’s tolerance for blacks behavior is inversely proportional to the distance that person is from them” .(translation-if they are far away and you don’t have to interact with them, then they are great, but conversely….) well, you get the idea.

Mr. Graham must think it’s important to appear to agree with the Klan and not let them know that most people don’t share their views.
That most people don’t share the Klan’s views is probably news to most theblaze readers.

Let me flip you the bird, Robert Bird that is. He was a high ranking democrat and a KKK leader and member until he recently died. Now his chestnuts are roasting on the open fires of hell. The klan’s beginnings were inspired by members of the democratic party after Lincoln (a Republican) emancipated the blacks. Since you are a democrat you have the sin and or the stain of the KKK on you. it’s not the ‘Blazers.’ Your party has figured out new and exciting ways to continue to enslave blacks and as usual call it by new creative names. To cover your tacks you call everyone who opposes your misguided efforts racists. You still treat blacks, that aren’t part of the liberal plantation. just like you and yours have always treated them. Like that poor black guy beat up in St Louis by the seiu. Plus the democratic party is the party of abortion, cloaked under the term ‘womens reproductive rights’ which means legalized murder. You libs are all mean and nasty. Pointing the finger and blaming someone else doesn’t absolve you of your crimes or your sins. May God have mercy on your soul. Oh that’t right, many of you libs think God is a fairy tale. Keep convencing yourselves.

The NRA must be then getting these black youths to join gangs so they will have a reason to shoot each other. I am sure that all those guns are legal, because even though dealing drugs, pimpin’, and stealing cars is illegal no way will the go over the line carrying an illegal weapon.

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 2:48pmA gun doesn’t cause deaths HUMANITY causes deaths. If he didn’t have a gun he probably would have either strangled her or stabbed her with a kitchen knife, we hear about those plenty of times. In fact we hear more about those than the ones involved with a gun. If he didn’t have a gun then he probably would have hung himself or jumped off the building. It takes a CHOICE for a gun to be fired. For those of you who say what about accidental discharges? It takes a person to choose to store the gun improperly and cause an accidental discharge. A gun is a tool just like a chainsaw or an ice pick(a not so common and rather common improvised weapon) or even a power drill(also can be used lethally). If something is built wrong you don’t blame the tool and ban it you blame the person holding it! A tool cannot choose it takes an active choice to use a tool or cause a situation that causes it’s misuse. Blame the hand holding it not the tool.
