Bust out my pants
AC linked to my post about big boy pants. Didn’t take long for the accusations of me being RACIST!!! in comments:
This applies more to class than race, although this is a back-door attempt to scream the N-word.
And that, ladies and gentlemen (whichever one chooses to wear the pants), is why we can’t talk seriously about this issue. Thanks Mr. The C-Word for making my point.
Coincidentally, following the unspeakable class that accounts for half of murders while making up 3% of the population, is another class that follows in terms of gun violence. Poor rural white guys. So, is that my back-door attempt to scream Cracker err the C-word?
Update: Now, I’m using codewords.

It has nothing to do with race. To re-use a campaign slogan: IT’S THE CULTURE, STUPID.

I had to think about that one for a minute. See, I’m old enough that “big boy pants” means to me long pants — men didn’t wear shorts when I was raised, and I don’t wear them outside my home to this day.

This one is easy. It is not because they are black at all. The predominant source of our crime problems are a subgroup of black Americans. We did disenfranchise the whole group (incl targeting with the very first gun laws), and then to fix it our nanny state took over, coddling a portion until they’ve became useless.
It’s not that they’re black at all. It’s that a portion are on the fast track, accepting British-level coddling. Don’t worry, the rest of us will catch up. If the HopeChange doesn’t do it the ‘National Greatness’ will. Infantilize people and this is what happens. It’s only going to get worse.

it’s “the looters” as Ayn Rand put it. Those sucking the government teat, of all races, religions, and all the other bullshit that a whole bunch of people make the money off of exploiting and dividing people with.
If the “N” word is ’nuff as in ENOUGH then allow me to scream it because maybe that will draw the lunatics back to reality long enough to put their pants on.

Unfortunately, using actual words is more likely enough to have a certain 3% of the population drawing something else, from the waistband of their pants.
…unless you are the same color as they are, which is of course not racist.
