Default Left-wing race obsession - race baiting - again: "'Whiteracism,' NRA are to blame for lax gun rules, Martin O'Malley says"

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley suggested Sunday that
Congress had fallen under the sway of "white racism" and the political
force of the National Rifle Assn. in refusing to respond with new laws
to a cascade of shooting incidents in recent years.

Speaking before the nation's mayors, gathered in San Francisco, O'Malley
pointed to gun restrictions passed when he was governor of Maryland to
ban assault weapons, enforce background checks and tighten permitting
procedures -- efforts that have been blocked at the national level by
Republicans, and some Democrats, in Congress.

"One of the sad triumphs of white racism is the degree to which it has
succeeded in subconsciously convincing so many of us, black and white,
that somehow black lives don't matter," he said. "If the thousands of
young men killed by gun violence every year across America were young,
poor and white -- rather than young, poor and black -- it is hard to
imagine that our Congress would continue to block common-sense measures
to keep guns out of the hands of criminals."
