both the singles have been goddamn great. bit more down with "oh my darling don't cry" but by a small margin at best

it's completely valid to push back on white liberal conceptions of gun control (for a lot of reasons) but choosing to do so on NRA TV was a really fuckin bad look and I hope he acknowledges that instead of doubling down
― Simon H., Sunday, 25 March 2018 15:07 (six years ago) link
I saw someone on twitter defend him by saying it's no different than going on Fox news, which basically everyone does, but I don't think that holds up

last night on twitter it seemed like he was...doing both? or splitting the difference? doubling down on his message (nb i didn't see the video) and also saying that he didn't really care about the NRA as an organization, it was just an opportunity to get his side out there
― gbx, Sunday, 25 March 2018 15:14 (six years ago) link
I think him bragging about threatening to kick his kids out of the house if they march is going to make me ignore him from now on

fwiw none of this stuff is new? like, i think he's been pretty open about his views on gun ownership for a while
― gbx, Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:03 (six years ago) link
There's a difference between nuanced opinions on gun ownership and claiming you'd toss your kids out of the house if they participated in a march for Gun Control.
― Dangleballs and the Ballerina (cryptosicko), Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
In that, one I probably don't agree with (but just as likely don't have enough info on), and the other is despicable.

showing up on a video clip for an org that has a history of being for gun restrictions, but only when black men show up with guns, seems like a bad move
― mh, Sunday, 25 March 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
from a good thread picking apart the appearance
Overall thoughts. People who are drawing a comparison between Killer Mike on NRATV and Leftists on Fox News are incorrect. This is not really a nuanced conversation on Gun control or the history of Black gun owners, it's sole purpose is to have a black face parrot talking points— The People v.

love how this guy goes from genius to idiot pawn of the machinations of the nra just for having a non-partyline opinion and not being as white as bernie. racists.

to clarify, 'racists' --> ppl like those in the above quoted tweet, not the ppl posting in this thread

Brandon Sutton is black, you absolute moron.
Anyway, RL Stephens takes a different tack.
The truth is that when NAACP leader Robert F Williams organized a community defense program against the Klan in NC in the 50’s, the group was chartered by the NRA. This story is more complicated and politically contested than we often acknowledge.— R.L. Stephens (@RLisDead) March 25, 2018

the NRA in the fifties was not the NRA of the '90s and today. I'm sure the Tweet feed goes into this discussion.

WOW so was the person who said this
"We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out."

I said nothing about "exoneration." It's a fact that the NRA before 1968 was a different organization.

There's a lot here that makes sense, even if the timeline doesn't quite clear up his "march right out of the house" remark, but I still question the very idea of appearing on "NRA-TV" (which I didn't even know existed until today).
