No I don't think that is a stretch at all! They would NEVER be betrayed by their own leaders (even thought you and I know they get betrayed daily) so it is OK for one group to be treated like chattle...but not for THEIR group. The thought wouldn't even occur to them.

Both groups are oppressed and taken advantage of, should be the way the GOP mind works. I think the huge disconnect is because of racism and lack of empathy overall. I also believe that is a standard trait of the GOP and one that does keep them from sympathizing with other groups. It seems strange to progressive that a person could live without empathy of some kind. However that is the GOP prime trait imo.

I would say white gun owners (that are scared of Obama grabbing their toys)as a collective, are more like xenophobic societies than anything else.
