help me, please and thanks -

[AmandaRuth]

I am arguing (again) with a facebook poster (again) about race baiting, he is constantly throwing out the words - Obama, Chicago, violence, gun control , for a certain reaction, I am sure. is there any article you can point me to that explores this in a little detail, or am I being overly sensitive here?

thanks, very much appreciated.

on edit: I did try to google - but only found right wing sites with the most offensive stuff

1. Can you block him?

People like that refuse to listen to reason.

All he’s trying to do is upset you. It’s best to just ignore him.

4. If that is the gist of his argument, he probably doesn't have have the facts.

Mind you, there are any number of lengthy articles about Chicago and gun violence, but even if you cite the reports verbatim, he will likely still deny the evidence and stick to his brainwashed tropes. It a futile exercise in exasperation, I know from encounters with my own family.

Anway, begin your google search parameters with, "how do guns get into chicago", here's one link to get you started:
