Tribune calls gun owners racist

EDIT: If you would like to write or send an appropriately worded email to Professor Agger, follow this link to get the information.  

 Chicago Tribune:

"Why are white people buying assault weapons?" said Ben Agger, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Arlington who wrote a book about the Virginia Tech slayings. "I almost hate to say it, but there is a deep-seated fear of the armed black man, because Obama now commands the military and other instruments of the justice system. They are afraid Obama will exact retribution for the very deep-seated legacy of slavery."

Oh, c'mon! What's wrong with these people? I mean, Obama is on record as being a Joyce foundation guy, a Brady Campaign proponent and against concealed carry legislation. Couple all of that to the fact that until recently Obama's "Change.gov" had a big snippet in calling for a reinstatement of the assault weapons ban - isn't that enough of a reason without having to resort to racism?!?

Kurt Hoffman brings up a great point too:

Another point I'd like to bring up relates to this:
. . . Obama now commands the military and other instruments of the justice system.
What does he mean by "military and other instruments of the justice system"? When did the military become part of the justice system?
