Jason Whitlock: The NRA is the New KKK

I mentioned this in the “gun culture” post but it deserves its own moment of infamy.

On CNN contributor Roland Martin’s podcast posted to his website Monday, Jason Whitlock, the columnist who inspired Bob Costas’ commentary on gun control during halftime of Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game on NBC, revealed his peculiar take on the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Whitlock spoke out against the NFL’s handling of the aftermath of Jovan Belcher’s suicide and gun issues in his Sunday FoxSports.com column. During Martin’s podcast, he likened the NRA to the Ku Klux Klan and tied the group to the dangerous street culture that unfortunately dominates “so many black youths.”

“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,” Whitlock said.

“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].”

Mr. Whitlock, do you know that Planned Parenthood places its abortion mills in or near minority neighborhoods disproportionately to non-minority neighborhoods? Do you know what Planned Parenthood does in those abortion mills? Do you know what Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, thought about race? Why is Planned Parenthood not “the new KKK,” but the NRA is?

Please show your work.
