Black leftists are mostly to blame for the existence of racism in the United States, according to the executive director of Gun Owners of America.

Larry Pratt made the claim during an interview with Internet talk show host Stan Solomon that was posted online on Monday. The two were discussing the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, and the revenge killing of two NYPD officers.

“Let’s face it,” Pratt remarked. “The racism that we are dealing with in our country comes primarily from a small group of black leftists, and it’s almost like a repeat myself — radical leftist, racist. When you’ve said radical leftist, you’ve pretty much said racist. They hate Israel, which is another way of saying they hate Jews, and some of these guys are pretty clear they don’t like whites, either.”

During the interview, Solomon called for violence against those protesting against police shootings and brutality, Right Wing Watch reported.

“The next time there’s a die-in, make sure they’re dead. The next time they block the road, run their asses over,” he said.
