Whether people admit it, or not, what he said made very good sense.
Trash is trash....here in NNY, it just happens that most of the trash is white.
I do know a guy....my bosses son..... that won't buy from GB because of some of what he has read on the forum. Yes, he is black, educated, morally upstanding and a gun owner. I can't help but wonder how many sales this has cost GB. Maybe not enough to bother The Captain.

Agreed. He was correct and was pounded on for having the temerity to speak the truth.
About Gun Broker losing business to this sort of thing that Frick was talking about, I just looked him up. I see that as a seller, Mr. Frick has 1 sale:

However he has 122 Feedbacks, which is a bunch of buying on Gun Broker:

So if there are people who refuse to deal with GB over racist insults in the Forums, I wonder if an existing GB customer will also say "Screw this" and leave as well?
what did I miss?????????????????????????????
A few guys got onto a new guy for speaking out about the racist stuff that gets posted.

Still trying to understand this PC stuff.
Let me get this straight.
If someone makes a comment about a particular race, it is racist because you can't "paint the entire race with a broad brush", but
If a member of GunBroker makes a comment that is considered racist, it is OK to paint the entire community with a broad brush and not purchase items from ALL of GunBroker?
This just gets more and more confusing.

I don't care for rudeness, or for inaccuracy.
Now then, if this were a brick and mortar store, and a customer felt unwelcome or looked down upon, why patronize the place? I mean, if you had any choice at all, would you walk into a place where you knew you were disliked merely for your appearance?
I recognize criminals for what they do. That's accurate, also sensible. I will always favor the Roof Koreans over the Looters.
I do not cast the insults I save for criminals upon people that just look similar. Because it is rude, ignorant and kinda' stupid.
Don't see Political Correctness as being involved at all. There's good manners and there's bad manners. There's blaming people who do bad things and there's blaming everyone that bears a similar appearance to people who behave badly.

This is how race baiting works. Where have you been for the past 30 years?
