Blake Masters Blames Gun Violence on ‘Black People, Frankly’
Tech investor and Arizona Republican Senate hopeful Blake Masters acknowledges that the United States has a gun violence problem. But he also has a theory about why there’s a problem—it’s “Black people, frankly.”
Masters boiled the issue down in an April 11 interview on the Jeff Oravits Show podcast, telling the host that “we do have a gun violence problem in this country, and it’s gang violence.”
“It’s people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, Black people, frankly,” Masters clarified. “And the Democrats don’t want to do anything about that.”

He's 100% correct.
And will be slaughtered for it in the media.

I like major problems where no one is allowed to say the obvious. This seems like one of those but who am I to know?

He’s correct, and we have to start talking about why a small minority of the population commits a staggering amount of the violent crime. Until we have that conversation there is no solution available. The political correctness has to stop and root causes must be identified.

He's absolutely correct.
The comments must've been overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Masters' statement.

Does this stupid motherfricker know the truth is verboten?

Yeah. Can’t be that truthful in politics.

Opened the thread expecting to read about Kari Lake.
Masters is too frank. Much like Louie Gohmert & Lt General McInerney..you can't be talking about Frankfurt and Haspel and servers just yet.
Like Lara Logan and Lou Dobbs, too honest, gonna find yourself without a gig talking like that!

Brutal honesty is considered a negative in politics.

Naw, it's time some white guy verbally expressed what most other people think?

Although he was speaking truth, he should’ve backed that statement up.

Tell the truth, you get votes. PC is not the way to go

If he really wanted to fire for effect, he could have said the problem’s not black people, it’s n*****s .
