[QUOTE="elementxero, post: 3412273, member: 567619"] There you go again, confusing things which objectively have no 'agenda' because you see things through your own super-focused viewpoint. My point was that by addressing something objective, like an interest in firearms, and talking down to him BECAUSE HES BLACK, regardless of your intention you are basically perpetuating the problem you intend to solve. You are categorizing someone, in this case, an interest in guns, which many people of all races share, and condemning his interests because you see him not as a man with an interest in guns but as a black man who shouldn't be interested in guns. What does race have to do with guns unless you're racist? Do you see where I'm going with this? And for christ's sake, a "white agenda"?! If you read any of my posts you would know that you are again MISJUDGING based on incorrectly assigned stereotypes. And I don't want to be "that guy" but one of my best friends of over 10 years is black. [/QUOTE]
