Blake Masters on the Root of America’s Gun Violence Problem: ‘Black People, Frankly’

Peter Thiel’s dropping streak is up. I don’t agree with every little thing the person endorses, and I don’t suppose he agrees with every little thing he endorses, however JD Vance and Blake Masters are going to vary your complete recreation.

Masters is healthier than Vance, frankly. Masters is woke on Uncle Ted, he’s married to a white girls with sons regardless of some probably questionable mannerisms, and now he’s dropping the crimson tablets all of us needed to listen to: the reality in regards to the root of “America’s gun violence downside.”

NBC News:

Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona who was lately endorsed by former President Donald Trump, mentioned on a podcast this yr that “Black folks, frankly” are accountable for America’s gun violence downside.

“We do have a gun violence downside on this nation, and it’s gang violence,” Masters said on “The Jeff Oravits Present” in April. “It’s gangs. It’s folks in Chicago, St. Louis taking pictures one another. Fairly often, you already know, Black folks, frankly. And the Democrats don’t wish to do something about that.”

Masters additionally claimed Democrats “are weak on crime” and “don’t just like the Second Modification” as a result of “it frankly blocks loads of their plans for us.”

There are three separate points right here:

• Blacks are those doing the taking pictures
• Democrats don’t wish to discuss in regards to the blacks
• The blacks match right into a plan that the Democrats have for America

The final one is admittedly an important.

However Masters – who I’m now calling “Grasp Masters” – didn’t cease there.

Throughout the identical podcast, when requested what he considered President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court docket nominee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the primary Black lady confirmed to the courtroom, Masters mentioned she was “a horrible choose” and that she was an “affirmative motion candidate.”

Masters didn’t instantly return a request for remark Tuesday.

Masters has promoted Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. He has additionally repeatedlyechoed the “nice substitute principle” — a white supremacist conspiracy principle that there’s a plot to decrease the affect of white folks within the U.S. — by baselessly claiming that Democrats wish to grant amnesty to 1000’s of immigrants with the intention to “make them voters.”

Think about calling {that a} “baseless declare.” Democrats are continually claiming that they wish to give all of those unlawful Mexicans voting rights. They’ve been attempting to do that for many years.

Keep in mind the “Gang of Eight”?

However notice – please, I implore you to notice – they didn’t declare that Grasp Masters’ statements in regards to the blacks being on the root of the gun violence epidemic was a “baseless declare.” Nobody desires to the touch that one. And the media didn’t even deliver it up till now – months after the podcast was recorded.

Nobody within the media desires to have that argument, as a result of somebody goes to start out waving round FBI crime statistics that present that blacks – who’re 13% of the inhabitants – do 50% of violent crime, and in some cities, effectively over 80% of gun crime.

(These are 2016 numbers – it’s a lot worse now)

Nobody can argue that or name it a “baseless declare.” With out even wanting on the statistics, everybody is aware of it. Nobody crosses the road when a bunch of white guys are strolling in direction of them.

Democrats simply merely don’t wish to speak about this situation in any respect, as their total gun management narrative reverses – if blacks are doing just about the entire violent crime, then white folks must hold their weapons to guard themselves from these blacks, and Democrats – who’re those who’ve made themselves the protectors of the blacks – want to determine a approach to get their little pets to cease killing everybody.

If blacks have been doing 10% extra gun crime than whites, you may haggle about it. However once they’re doing 1000% extra gun crime than whites, effectively – somebody has to elucidate this shit.

The burden to elucidate it falls on the people who find themselves speaking about it nonstop.
