Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy: Government sponsored racism?

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy spoke to parishioners at St. Sabina Church earlier this month and made it clear that he does not like the right of Americans to bear arms. He said the following, among other things, amidst cheers of "Amen":

  • "So here’s what I want to tell you. See, let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting’ scared? Government sponsored racism."
  • "Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy. Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children."
  • "The NRA does not like me, and I’m okay with that. We’ve got to get the gun debate back to center, and it’s got to come with the recognition of who’s paying the price for the gun manufacturers being rich and living in gated communities."

People don't kill people, guns do. Then again it's Chicago, what else did you expect? Are there any adults left out there......anywhere!
