What an idiot.
Kansas City sportswriter Jason Whitlock loves to stoke controversy. So after he blamed Jovan Belcher’s murder-suicide on the “gun culture” — inspiring NBC Sports lecturer Bob Costas — in an interview with Roland Martin, he added fuel to the fire by claiming “the NRA is the new KKK.”
Apparently, black youths are “armed” by the NRA, and they’re also responsible for loading up black neighborhoods with drugs:WHITLOCK: Sports gets so much attention, and people tune out the real world, that I try to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about the real world when sports lends itself to that and try to open people’s eyes. You know, I did not go as far as I’d like to go because my thoughts on the NRA and America’s gun culture – I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests [at heart].
