White man + gun = RAAAAACIST!!! But not in Jamaica.

I came across something yesterday, and I was going to comment on it, but I couldn't bring myself to bother. It is so fundamentally stupid, it isn't even wrong. Hat tip to Blazing Cat Fur, which has all the links. First, TeenVogue:

The Second Amendment to the US Constitution is a tool of White Supremacy.

Earlier this year, for the first time in a quarter century, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a major piece of gun control legislation. Its provisions are modest at best — it would expand background checks, mandating them for all person-to-person sales, which would technically close the gun-show loophole — and the bill has stalled in the Senate.

But before the legislation was voted on, Representative Doug Collins of Georgia took the opportunity to sneak in an anti-immigrant provision. Capitalizing on the bill's mandate for widespread background checks, Rep. Collins'a addition requires the background check system to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if an undocumented immigrant tries to purchase a gun.

Earlier this week, President Trump signaled support for the anti-immigrant provision, proclaiming via tweet that "Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying…this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform." Trump's call for for stricter immigration laws came in response to the mass shooting in El Paso that left at least 22 people dead. Notably, the alleged shooter posted a white nationalist and anti-immigrant manifesto online just before launching his attack.

This is just another self-refuting Trump hatred piece of journalistic malpractice. But the point being made is being made out there a lot. They claim the 2nd Amendment is there to empower white people and dis-empower everybody else.

The truth of the matter is that GUN CONTROL has always been used to keep guns away from blacks in the USA, starting with the Sullivan Act in New York City, and this article actually shows that history of calculated racism. But then blames the 2nd Amendment, because... well no reason, really. He just does. Fairly typical of journalism these days.

Then there was this beauty here: the book Dying of Whiteness.

Why does the United States refuse to pass new gun control laws? It's the question that people around the world keep asking.

According to Dr Jonathan Metzl, a psychiatrist and sociologist at Vanderbilt University, white supremacy is the key to understanding America's gun debate. In his new book, Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America's Heartland, Metzl argues that the intensity and polarization of the US gun debate makes much more sense when understood in the context of whiteness and white privilege.

Same argument, even more vague this time,  guns are about "Whiteness". That's so fundamentally stupid it can't be refuted. There's no point in arguing against it.

All of the above just makes me tired. What tires me is that this is the type of shit that gets traction with a sizeable minority of the public. There's about 20% of the population that eats this stuff up.

So lets cut to the chase. The island of Jamaica, which makes a lot of its income from tourism, has issued a TRAVEL WARNING telling people not to go there on vacation in case they might get killed.

The government of Jamaica has extended a state of emergency across several of its popular tourist destinations to Oct. 28, citing a significant increase of violent crime.

The warning, which applies to St. James, Westmoreland and Hanover Parishes also includes the popular Montego Bay, a frequent destination for Canadian vacationers.

Global Affairs Canada updated the emergency status on its website, which was previously set to expire on Tuesday.

Well, Jamaica is a nation of black people you know. No toxic Whiteness there, right? How bad could it be?

A local newspaper, the Jamaica Gleaner, reported that 1,616 murders took place in 2017, with 335 of those taking place in St. James alone.

Global Affairs Canada released a list of areas in Greater Kingston and Montego Bay that is reported to have high levels of violent crime, as well as citing petty crime and fraud being a common problem.

Vacationers travelling to affected areas were warned to cooperate with security officers, carry valid ID and to avoid leaving their resort after dark.

That's not the whole country, by the way. That's just the three parishes: St. James, Westmoreland and Hanover. St. James had 335 murders. That's Detroit-level numbers for St. James, the three taken together tops Chicago by a wide margin.

Jamaica also has a complete ban on firearms. Owning one is illegal. Very, very illegal. Has been since the 1960s, I think. Give or take a decade.

So there you go. Tropical island paradise that depends on tourism for money, black majority, black government, black cops, gun ban, everything the Lefties say they want. Murder rate higher than Chicago.
