Vision Circle

But let's use the "Black left" line of reasoning.

I am a poor Black person living in a depressed area. The "Black left" knows that the police don't service my area very well. So why would the "Black left" want to deny me the capability to defend my family?

If someone comes into my home, uninvited, and without a key, they intend to do me and mine harm. As the head of the household, I want to have the ability to pop a cap in someone's behind if I want to do so. In other words, leave me with the ability to own a gun.

The "Black left" knows that for most murders that happen, the people involved know each other. The "Black left" also knows that most of the murders are related to other criminal activities. The "Black left" also knows that the guns used are most likely obtained illegally. For my family's sake, let me have the option to bust a cap!

And if I don't bust a cap in the person breaking in, once they are caught, forget about the "root causes" of why the person did it, lock them up. They chose to go down that path. You were taught that there are consequences, positive and negative, for your actions. So, let them FULLY deal with the consequences of their actions.

And enough of the garbage about the "prison industrial complex"! We could put them out of business in about 10 - 15 years if our young people stopped doing the crimes and if those in jail, when they got out, stopped doing the things that got them locked up in the first place!

Yes, I know some of them have mental problems, but that still doesn't mean that they have to live a criminal life.

And speaking of mental problems, why the need to name call some of the people on the "Black right"?

If some on the "Black right" are fools, just let them continue to prove themselves to be fools. Consider Jesse Lee Peterson. There are such OBVIOUS illogic in many of the things that he says, all you have to do it let him dig his own grave.

And what good does it do calling Thomas Sowell names? He presents information in a logical manner. Sometimes it's highly misleading, but still in a logical manner. All you have to do is refute it.

Or, does the "Black left" think so little of Blacks, in general, that the "Black left" assumes Blacks can't handle the intellectual debate?

Finally, enough of the discrimination arguments by using proportional statistics. You know it's a weak argument.

When I graduated from college, I was the only Black person do graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science that year. Since I've been working in the field, for the most part, I am one of less than a handful of Blacks on the projects I've worked. The proportional representation argument doesn't hold true because, if my graduating class is typical, less than 12% of Blacks have a computer science degree.

If the "Black left" think they are correct, then argue on the merits, not garbage and name calling. Unless, of course, the "Black left" thinks that Blacks are too stupid to handle intellectual battles.
