Mayor Rawlings tells MSNBC he’s more afraid of white men shooting people than Syrian refugees

Here too, but he specified "young white man" instead of "groups of white men"

He's not afraid of tan, black, red, green or yellow men but only white men. I don't know who/what this Rawlings bird is but his statement reeks of racism. Why hasn't he been called out on that statement?

This somewhat portly, senior white guy is offended!

This seems to be a new talking point for the left. I was in a discussion with a young liberal kid where I work just yesterday. I was explaining to him that Syrian refugees could be protected in their homeland, more effectively than transporting clusters of them across the globe. He had no answer for that but says "I am more worried about being shot by a cop or a white guy with a gun than being blown up by a terrorist". He was a white guy BTW.

He should be mayor of Austin,bet he would get along good with the police chief there.

He's a very wealthy guy, too rich to qualify for Section 8. Where is he supposed to live?

Where do the wealthy Cowboys live?

Interesting. Mayor Rawlings is no doubt considered trendy and egalitarian for his view. Enlightened, even.

Yet, if I were to voice my view that renegade politicians and government run amok scare me more that terrorists (or white men shooting people), I would be branded a knuckle-dragging gun nut.

Oh, well, if the bruised metacarpals fit, I guess.

I hope they vote Him out of office.

I hope they vote Him out of office.

I was surprised when he was elected.

[The Wall]

Well, that's just great. Let him be mayor in Syria then.
