I was referring to the leader of what is apparently a LGBT anti gun group. from what I have learned they hate the NRA because they see the NRA as supporting politicians who are not huge fans of the issues gays find important. I called that leader a bannerhoid because he wants to ban guns. He at least is honest, unlike his former employer, another complete asshole-Bloomberg.

Bannerhoid's are a disgrace to the anti-gun movement...

It started in 1791 when Tory's were objecting to the introduction of the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution.

I think those people were called FEDERALISTS

and they didn't think it was NEEDED because to them it was obvious that the federal government had no power in the first place. They thought it was REDUNDANT.

Why do you capitalize 'white'?

Since this thread is now officially off topic I'll answer your question.

I always capitalize references to race or ethnicity. For example, "Jose is a Hispanic male" or "Rebecca is a Black female". By capitalizing I am indicating race or ethnicity rather than skin color.

Race is an adjective with no meaning beyond physical attribute; it's like blonde. Do you capitalize Blonde? I get ethnicity but white and black are not ethnicity. I appears as nothing more than race obsession and an attempt to attribute ethnicity where none exists. It's divisive and, for that reason, is common in racist rhetoric.

I'm definitely picking up on the race obsession.

Perhaps you should stop inventing your own grammar as to make race appear more important than it is. That this same incorrect grammar is used in racist rhetoric for the point of divisiveness should concern you. But, hey, if you're fond of racist grammar, have at it.
