| 63. you are the hapless bystander in someone's effort to impugn me, I fear |
|
I have asserted that an African-American woman who buys into the "racist roots of gun control" meme touted by the racist right wing and then goes out and gets herself a handgun to tote around with her is no some sort of assertive, self-actualized New Woman, she has been co-opted / has bought into the right-wing gun militant agenda.
It wasn't really about you. But some in this forum are not reluctant to exploit anyone and anything if it advances their agenda.
