MSNBC Host: If Newtown Massacre Happened at a Black School, We Wouldn’t Be Having ‘National Conversation About Guns’

Feb. 15, 2013 9:00pm
MSNBC Host: If Newtown Massacre Happened at a Black School, We Wouldnt Be Having National Conversation About Guns

Touré (FILE)

Attacking the National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre as a racist, MSNBC co-host Touré — no last name, just Touré — said the NRA chief’s rhetoric is full of racial undertones and argued that there would be no “national conversation” about guns if Newtown shooter had shot up a black school.

During his “Touré TV” editorial segment on “The Cycle” Friday, Toure observed that gun violence disproportionately affects minority community, especially blacks. He pointed out that there is strong support in the black community for gun control.

“Perhaps we know Wayne LaPierre is wrong about good guys, and bad guys, and guns…I’m sure many of us find him hard to trust given his obvious use of racial demonization to spread fear that will lead to buying guns,” he said.

Referencing LaPierre’s op-ed in The Daily Caller, Toure jabbed at the NRA head for going after a fictional place called “South Brooklyn” where crime is rampant.

“I think it’s safe to say that when he says that, much of the country envisions a place clogged with black people,” Touré said.

He went on: “Now, if Adam Lanza had walked into a black public school in this mythical South Brooklyn, or in the South Side of Chicago, we would probably not be having a sustained, national conversation about guns.”

Toure then implored Obama to act on gun control, saying whatever he accomplished will “disproportionally help us.”

While there is no doubt that gun violence is devastating within the black community, to suggest the country at large would have reacted any differently to 20 dead black children as opposed to “white” children is outrageous.

    It is now permissable, mainstream, haute couture, even de rigeuer to say unto Whitey “We gonna get you sukka!”
    Now that Pharaoh Bo is locked in, the Van Jones Doctrine, aka “Eff Whitey” can be put in motion sans stealth or apologetics.
    Still think you got “common ground” and can “come together” with these BLACK RACISTS folks?

      The only thing this tool got right in his idiotic rant is that if it happened in a black neighborhood the media wouldn’t cover it. The thing he leaves out is the reason why. They don’t care about it. Look at the black on black crime statistics and then look at media coverage of it. It’s nonexistent. If it’s not white on black violence the media doesn’t care. Which fits his rant as it would have been a white kid killing black kids. You’d think this tool would have agreed with the NRA for that reason.

      BTW, I don’t personally know a single black person who is pro gun control. The only blacks I ever see in favor of it are in the media, academia, or politics.

      Liberals are the ones screaming for gun control… and he thinks that nobody would be screaming if it happened at a “black school”. Think about that for a second.

      He’s saying liberals are racist, and he’s too stupid to realize it.

      This kind of rhetoric is just plain anti-white hate.

      He’s lucky he’s saying it about whites rather than Hispanics or other people, because they’re not cowardly like whites. They would be looking to take his racist head off.

      Whites aren’t only wimpish, they’re disunited and easy to defeat. Half of them accuse the other half of being racist for anything thery say and in that way help the racists like this Toure run them over the coals at will.

      LaPierre isn’t using racial demonization to encourage gun buying, he’s speaking the truth. One look at the ****-trigger animalistic black community in some areas and any rational person would seek to protect themselves from being a victim when whatever justification arises in their town. Riot over basketball? Riot over ‘pride?’ Riot over shoes? Riot over some ginned-up perceived wrong? Invade and empty some retailer’s shop? Pick out an iPhone to ‘acquire’ from someone minding their own business? Yeah, you bring that Knockout ‘game’…better play to win, ’cause it’ll be your last, with a lead aftertaste. Cruise yo ‘hood in that Crown Vic as a youth, so it’ll be familiar for that eventual perp ride.

      There are far too many of these Toure types to doubt that there’s a connected agenda, with Pharobama at the top. Perhaps DHS knows who the eventual occupants of those pre-positioned bodybags and coffins all over the country will be, and why. Eugenics for the 21st century, hmmm? May God put remorse back into the hearts of the people of this nation. That seems the only way this will be averted. This ain’t persecution, so ‘turn the other cheek’ doesn’t apply….

      BD when it comes to “illegals” I prefer the term “QUISLING FIFTH COLUMN” just as I prefer the term INVADER to “illegal alien”.
      We don’t have an “immigration problem”, legal or otherwise, on our Southern Flank, we have an INVASION, the La Raza Reconquista (“for those outside The RACE, nada!”), the Aztec Anschluss.
      It is at times like this I advise people to thoughtfully ponder the TRADITIONAL Welcome for INVADERS. It may be “return to where the came from”, but it is NOT in the “same condition” that they arrived.

    Sandy Hook happens every month in Chicago with the victims being black and adult. But the guns already illegal having most being shot in the process of a drugs and gang turf war. So they can’t talk about that part as they would have to admit that current gun laws and drug laws do not work so neither would a new one. If they black community want gun control have them make it happen in their hood first and show it works.

Instead of going after La Pierre about some mythical racist attitude in the NRA, maybe he should go after the black leaders who want to play the blame game when it comes to black on black violence. Black leaders keep blaming government and racism instead of their own community’s breakdown of the family and moral values.

    The media is orchestrating a war on the US Constitution, they are the enemies of the US Constitution, basically telling people, what we really need now, is somebody, somewhere, to shoot up a school with black kids in it, so get with the program? We are not going to outlaw gun free zones, we don’t want citizens to have guns, we need the ratings, all we need is a volunteer?

    Who the heaven is demanding the racial blood of black people because a white kid shot up a bunch of white kids? Let’s explain something to you folks, if you want drugs legalized (the source of most black murder in the US – competition with Mexican drug lords) and don’t do it now, what are you waiting for?

    Are you waiting for the police departments to become so corrupt, you will never be able to change the laws? That’s what happened in Mexico, you can pass laws confiscating guns from citizens in the United States, but all it takes is a few more thousand cops killed, which does not take a lot of guns by the way, and eventually you get your corruption cemented forever?

    If that does not work, when they implement these drones, which will orbit every cell phone tower in America (good luck figuring out whose drone is whose at 300 ft by the way), you can post 100 look outs, you put a look out on every street corner, and the DEA and the cops are going to know everything, who to hit, all they have to do is wait until the dealers get enough cash to bust them?

    I didn’t know the GangstaHood Homs were IN school. I thought they were all in jail.
    But I DID think “those” schools had ultra tight security—how would the guns get in?
    No, thinking about it, the Balance of Probabilities says that if a Crazy Non-Black showed up in a “Black” School and tried to open fire, he’d either be riddled with bullets from da HoodieHoms or he’d be cut to ribbons with knives, razors, shivs, etc.
    So in that sense, Tourette’s here is correct. There wouldn’t be a conversation to have. Just another body on the Gangstahood pavement.
    I do wonder about the Math though. Wouldn’t killing a couple a night over the year equate, in the end, with a “Massacre”?
    Are we having that conversation?

      @Pantokrator, Good Point.

      I guess he couldn’t ‘fit’, Trayvon Martin into his agenda.
      Well, with his agenda so ‘full’ ; You, just can’t believe him.

      This maricon obviously doesn’t pay attention to what goes on in the “hood”. Especially in sewers like NY, Chicago, Philidelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit…big lib cities with lots of gun control. ***** matanza ***** es mucho más frecuente que cualquier otra raza. That is unless you throw the Mexican cartels and their lacayos into the mix. These pendejos are taught self pity and hate from the cradle to the grave.

      Apparently it is “politically incorrect” for me to use the spanish word for “black”; though it is ok to use the word gringo which is also spanish. For the sake of correctnes I shall restate: “Black killing black is much more frequent than any other race. That is unless you throw the Mexican cartels and their flunkeys into the mix.” Better?

      If a black whacko shot up a black school – It would be ignored by the media. You did not hear any “gun violence” stories about the black cop killer? The fact that blacks create 53% of gun deaths and are only 12% of the population goes totally ignored. Between blacks and democrats they rack up over 75% of gun crimes. If it were whites and Republicans it would be reported daily.
