Cory Booker: "The president is weak. And wrong. White supremacy is not a mental illness, and guns are a tool that white supremacists use to fulfill their hate."

Sorry Cory, but that ol' meme won't hunt.

Any claim of individual differences or superiority that is inferred from racial origins is demonstrably wrong, and clinging to the idea is mental illness.

Some popular examples:

(1) White men can't jump. Some can, some can't. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(2) Men are better at math and science. Some women are brilliant mathematicians. some men are awful at math. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(3) White people are inherently superior to black people. Nope. Some white people are great, some are just barely human. Some black people are great, some are not. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

You can't apply any of these racial generalization to any individual.

The whole point of the Constitution is that citizens are individuals, and must be treated equally.

Guns are a tool. Check the first three Amendments for why individuals should have them.
