The "Is This Racist?" Thread
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

As long as we make sure the Commandant doesn't notice the suspiciously growing pile of dirt, then we are good to go!

Don't worry about him. We've distracted him with an Ace of Base song.

Confederate Group Will Fly 32 Battle Flags over MLK Drive at Civil War Memorial in Texas Town

Racist?

With the corroborating evidence that it's a small town in Texas, yes. I vote racist on that one.

Re: The "Is This Racist?" Thread
I don't know if incompetent is quite the word in this case.
Very competent city government though. The officer has already been fired and charged with murder.

Re: The "Is This Racist?" Thread
As you know, we have somewhat tighter gun control laws in the UK. Single action handguns and rifles are allowed up to .22 caliber with a licence, or larger caliber if judged suitable for the land or task, e.g. A zoo with big cats or rhinos etc. is allowed to keep larger. Outside this it is largely for pest control and competition target shooting. Shotguns are also allowed.
I have a shotgun licence now, pending purchase of my first skeet shooting gun as a hobby. One of the things I had to do to get the licence was have a member of the local police force visit my home and interview me (plus I had to supply references) and then he tried to break into the gun cabinet I had to have fitted. After the interview, the references and his attempts to wrench the cabinet out he declared I was allowed to keep a gun.
It was at this point I was told that if I had to shoot an intruder ever then it was advisable to do it in the front, below the waist, thus proving he (or she) was advancing on me and I was defending myself with no intent to kill.
Apparently in the back, anywhere, is very bad and if the person subsequently died I would likely be charged with murder as the person was retreating.

How about if you use a bow and arrow? Say, the Chitauri have invaded your town or something.

If that is, indeed, what this means, is this racist/classist?

No, they just want to check you have appropriate security, appropriate respect for firearms to own one and aren't a fucking eejit!!!

But, like, can black Brits still get guns legally, or do they make it so that black Brits rarely pass these tests?

Re: The "Is This Racist?" Thread
I ask because this kind of thing has been done--and continues to be done--in the US. Demonstrably so, even. This isn't a case of misguided bleeding-heart-ism on my part.
I don't know if it's done in the UK. I rely on people like you telling me.

Re: The "Is This Racist?" Thread
Very rarely means you've seen at least one, though, right? So there's that.
