Episode 13: Racism Booth / Forgotten White Men / Assault Rifle Ownership

I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 18" broadcast on MLK Day January 21st, 2013. I pitch a business idea for booths that allow people to pay to say racist words in private.   African-American sports radio host NajRadio offers sympathetic perspective on white men who are left behind, and feel they have no access to the white privilege often attributed to them, but we also talk about the powerful people who take advantage of them.  Resident Klansman Dragon 1488 calls in, offers a very reasonable explanation on why regular citizens should not be allowed to own assault rifles, surprising given his ideology and membership of a hate group. I offer commentary at the very beginning reflecting on these conversations with discussion on recent events such as the shooting in Thousand Oaks, CA and the shooting of Jemel Roberson in Chicago.
