Coren’s bipolar ultimatums
Michael Coren concludes that “[gun violence is] partly but not completely about race and it's partly but not completely about poverty. It's about those who are willing to join society and those who are not.” I doubt that anyone, even the liberals that he is always ranting against, would disagree with him. There are no simple answers, but the fact remains that dealing with the part of gun crime that is about race and poverty is important. Coren often talks about balance but then he is content to give bipolar ultimatums by dividing people between “those who are willing to join society and those who are not.” We must ask the question, what kind of society are we inviting people to join? Maybe the ultimatum should be centered around creating a society that we can all participate in equally.
