6. Would you use a racist who spent decades praising guns as an example?

If you need the likes of this bigot to promote any cause, your cause is lost.. Trust me, the man travels with security. He is a hypocrite of the first division. Tout him and you tout his baggage. Excuse him and you excuse his homophobia.
How many times was Snoop arrested for having firearms? 5? 6? How much money did he make rapping about guns and his gun life? Some would say that a person who repents from evils done would not care to retain the ill gotten gain. Snoop gladly counts up and spends the money that comes from his hymns to the Glock and other firearms, to shooting those firearms at other humans. He can talk all day about being 'born again' but he will never, ever see fit to redeem himself by refusing to profit from gun promotional materials. What sort of regret is that, what kind of change has he made, that he still feels good about keeping all that 'put them on their backs' pop pop rap he did?
Calvin just wants to mine a new claim. That's it.
