The Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality has inspired so much racial hatred that white people in America should fear for their lives, a correspondent for the National Rifle Associations streaming network saidWednesday.

In a segment produced for the American gun lobbying organizations online channel, conservativehost Grant Stinchfieldsaid race relations are deeply strained in the country after Barack Obamas presidency.

But nowhere is near as bad as it is in South Africa where white families are being tortured and killed almost every day in racist violence. It is a warning for the United States that you will never hear from the mainstream media in this country, he added.

He then turned the segment over tofrontline correspondent Chuck Holton, a freelance cameraman for the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Violence in South Africa is kind of a warning for what could happen in the United States if we continue to let this get out of control, to go down this path of this racial tension, Holton said. This racial hatred that is being forced on the American culture by the Black Lives Matter crowd.

Hate crimes in South Africa have long been an issue, but its primarilyrefugees, immigrants, and the LGBTQ communitythat suffer. In March, the country launched a hate crime unit to combatgrowing violence against Nigerians. Murderhas gone upandgender violencecontinues to claim lives.A 2015 studyby the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation showed that the majority of people in South Africa agree with a united nation making up all the different groups in the country, but concluded that structural legacies of apartheid continue to reinforce old patterns of socialisation and prejudice.

The NRA neglected to include basic hate crime information about the country in their segment.

In America, the Black Lives Matter movement was created as a response to the repeated cases of police officers violentlytargeting black people amid the release of documented evidence of racial bias in police precincts across the nation. And as the groups name suggests, the organizations primary goal is to help others understand that black peoples lives are also important.

But the NRA doesnt care.

White victimhood is aright-wing tacticthat inverts the lefts narratives of minority discrimination and neocolonialism. This tactic denies that there is such a thing as white privilege, and attempts to camouflage white domination, wroteCharles Villet, a professor at Monash South Africa University in Johannesburg who studies post-Apartheid white identity politics, for The Conversation.

This ideology of white victimhood in South Africa is mirrored in far-right circles and by extremists, including in the manifestos of mass murderers Anders Breivik and Dylann Roof.

The NRA, meanwhile, has continued to spread misinformation and hyperbole. Last month, a minute-long ad soaked in fear and crocodile tears went viral.

Theyuse their media to assassinatereal news, The BlazesDana Loeschsaid in the ad. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again.

And at a demonstration Saturday bringing attention to the unjustified death of Philando Castile ablack elementary school teacherkilled by police the NRAinstead of defending the rightful gun owner lashed outon social media against the protesters.

AsSalon points out, just this year the NRA has made ads claiming the Manchester terrorist attacks happened because of gender bending and that Americans need to buy their guns before all the rapists are released in California.

Forall their mocking of it, the trembling, paranoid NRA could really use a safe space right now.
