American society glorifies, enshrines violence: Researcher
[Iran Press TV] American society has "glorified and "enshrined violence" committed by whites against African Americans and other minorities throughout its history, a researcher and historian in Washington says."The real opposition to gun ownership in this country tends to be with guns in the hands of people of color, particularly African Americans," said Randy Short. "We have a double standard in this country," Short told Press TV in a phone interview on Wednesday. Both violent and white-collar crimes tend to be committed by whites, who usually go unpunished by the US justice system, he noted. "We have a society that enshrines violence." Short criticized  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillaryand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett... 's recent "hypocritical" comments about the need to ban semi-automatic rifles, or so-called assault rifles as well as high-capacity magazines which would help reduce gun violence in the United States. "She's was one of the most hawkish politicians in the country. It's completely hypocritical for her to come out and have this attitude that she's somehow anti-gun. She's pro-gun. It just depends on who's being shot." Posted by: Fred 2014-06-19 |
