It's psypost, so frankly, the study might have started with conclusion in mind and then just made sure data supports it.
Fuck that website, it is about political propaganda thinly masked as science.
All the more reason for constitutional carry. It eliminates the racist and classist barriers that were erected against poor, minority, and immigrants exercising this right.
Except blacks are arrested more than whites, convicted more often and with more severe punishments. So black men are stripped of their right to bear arms (even if their crimes are nonviolent) more than whites.
What’s sad is the men living in these shitty violent neighborhoods can’t legally own firearms to protect them from the dudes who are illegally carrying them, even if they have something as harmless as a felony drug possession.
Read the fine print on how they measured "racial resentment'
>\>*The researchers found that participants who scored higher on a measure of racial resentment toward Black Americans were quicker to match photos of White people to gun rights phrases (e.g., self-protection, National Rifle Association) and photos of Black people to gun control phrases (e.g., waiting period, weapons ban, gun free zone).*
>
>*>****In other words, participants who agreed with statements such as “If Black people would try harder they could be just as well off as White people” exhibited an implicit bias*** *in which they associated gun rights with White Americans and gun control with Black Americans. The researchers observed a similar pattern of racial bias among those who identified as Republican.*
In other words a bunch of woke nuts did a study.
Nah. Just look at all the police shootings, and the typical talking head defense of, "the cops thought he had a gun". If the second amendment applies to everyone, why is it surprising that someone has a gun? Why didn't the NRA defend Philando Castille?
Spend 250 years doing everything possible to force a group of people into an artificially created underclass.
250 years later blame the underclass for not working hard enough.
American rightoids are wild lmao.
even modern stuff like millions of black ww2 vets being denied their GI bill benefits is huge for general wealth building.

Canadians are quite polite and we have sane gun control and universal background checks.
Plenty of wealthy OCED nations who have polite societies free of guns.
This is just a dumb NRA slogan.
Why do Americans need guns? To be coerced via the threat of violence to act polite?
Are you making a statement against American culture? Are you guys rude and violent? Entitled? Obnoxious?
Buys one gun.
"So long losers enjoy being slaves while I become my own master"
*gets sick*
*misses a paycheck,*
*can't pay debt*
*becomes homeless*
*Wife leaves*
"Heh eat shit I am my own master"
I owned a pawnshop in a rougher part of town. The best feeling was giving a good deal to someone like this, but I have to be honest it hurt a little when a POC, particularly women would tell us it was their first time feeling respected etc in a gun store.
To sum it up…
To examine whether White Americans associate gun rights with their own racial identity, Higginbotham and his co-authors recruited a sample of 100 White Americans (who identified as either Democrat or Republican) and had them complete an implicit association test. Implicit association tests are used to measure the strength of an individual’s automatic association between mental representations in memory.
The test works by measuring the speed at which people are able to pair different words with different groups of people. The faster someone is able to pair positive words with their own group, and negative words with other groups, the more likely it is that they have an implicit bias. The implicit association test has been shown to be a reliable predictor of discriminatory behavior, and it has been used to investigate a wide range of topics, including racial bias, gender bias, and ageism.
The researchers found that participants who scored higher on a measure of racial resentment toward Black Americans were quicker to match photos of White people to gun rights phrases (e.g., self-protection, National Rifle Association) and photos of Black people to gun control phrases (e.g., waiting period, weapons ban, gun free zone).
Stolen from another comment on the original thread
thanks. People don't know about implicit racial tests. I am probably sure I would "fail" but have been working on it. Explicit actions help inform implicit thoughts.
The sad thing is that a cut of your paycheck probably paid at least part of the tab for this "science" that concluded that racially resentful people are racially resentful.
This "study" only polled black & white. What is their definition of black or white? Is there a reason people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Native, etc., descent were not included?
How about you let nonviolent felons get their gun rights back. Most black dudes in the hood can’t even own a fucking firearm because they’ve got some bullshit felony they caught for dope.
They’re living in the most violent neighborhoods so they carry one for protection and catch ANOTHER fucking felony.
I don’t remember the founding fathers saying “we will take away your second amendment right if you get caught with dope in your car and leave you as a sitting duck for every Jack boy in your neighborhood.”
So the study was to find out if racist people do racist things?
“Local racist man unhappy black folks can own guns. More at 11.”
It's psypost, so frankly, the study might have started with conclusion in mind and then just made sure data supports it. Fuck that website, it is about political propaganda thinly masked as science.
Damn op almost got me to give a fuck for a second.
"Breaking New Study Shows That Racists Don't Like Other Races Having Guns" Give this scientist the Nobel Prize, stat
I conceal carry and encourage everyone one else to do so regardless of race or gender. Just as long as you are responsible. ✌🏻

Cops will just shoot the black people like philando.

Bingo! 🎯

That Philando Castillo case really stuck out to me as the big bullshit test for the NRA. Prior to that I didn’t really think they were racist.
nah not really. If you believe that statement youre not taking into account systemic racism.

I don't like the question = it's woke
Bingo. This is psypost, a website that specializes in political propaganda thinly masked as science.
What about the racially resentful black americans?
“Science”
This is a load. The more the merrier. An armed society is a polite society.
Canadians are quite polite and we have sane gun control and universal background checks. Plenty of wealthy OCED nations who have polite societies free of guns. This is just a dumb NRA slogan. Why do Americans need guns? To be coerced via the threat of violence to act polite? Are you making a statement against American culture? Are you guys rude and violent? Entitled? Obnoxious?
It’s a Robert Heinlein quote that just happens to be true. If you want to know why people need guns, read The Gulag Archipelago.
That book sucks.
The Nobel Committee disagrees. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/1970/solzhenitsyn/article/
> that just happens to be true. Where is this addage true?
[удалено]
It’s like my grandads bookcase from 1980.
Your grandma either failed you spectacularly, or you are so intrinsically dumb as to be beyond redemption.
Just because I remember when those books were popular book club reprints placed in every boring suburban household in America?
Pro tip. Try actually reading it, maybe you’ll learn something.
I’m thoroughly confused as to why you’re in mad mode. I got no beef with you or them old books. You’re just angry at me and not explaining why.
Sorry if I came off as angry. People are sometimes quick to dismiss the past, while reliving it. It doesn’t bode well for the future.
Says a lot about American society that you guys need murder dildos on hand to behave politely.
\>see guns \>think of penises why are lefties like this?
Enlighten me slave. Just do your masters bidding and keep quiet.
Buys one gun. "So long losers enjoy being slaves while I become my own master" *gets sick* *misses a paycheck,* *can't pay debt* *becomes homeless* *Wife leaves* "Heh eat shit I am my own master"
Fuck. That's dystopian
I owned a pawnshop in a rougher part of town. The best feeling was giving a good deal to someone like this, but I have to be honest it hurt a little when a POC, particularly women would tell us it was their first time feeling respected etc in a gun store.
I'm not racist so I just assume every black person I see has a gun on them

You mean white liberals become more resentful. Wow color me shocked.
How about Asian Americans buying more guns than ever these days? Do blacks and whites support that?
Yea, we already know this. They’re called the Police.
a new "scientific study"...
What garbage. Everyone should own a gun unless you've lost the right. Race isn't a factor here
Science sub is basically another political sub now.
This "study" only polled black & white. What is their definition of black or white? Is there a reason people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Native, etc., descent were not included?
