I am not a racist. I believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of their race, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, able bodiedness, love of action figures and any other category you can name.In this I am not alone. Setting aside affirmative action, equality under the law is the law of the land in the United States of America. All Americans are free to exercise all the rights protected by the United States constitution.Here’s a relevant subset: African-Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. So why don’t they? If Reverend Sharpton and other African-American leaders believe racists are cruising the streets looking for black men to confront and/or assassinate, why don’t black men and women tool up?
might be because the majority of Black people are not inclined to be a bigger target, or they are less likely to be shot if not carrying, but police or others that see the law when applied to Blacks as not law but suspicious activity.
Black people have been trying to tell Whites what we think it goes to mostly deaf ears, they have their own fact-less idea of what and who we are to them i say free your mind the crest will follow, before you can read me you've got to learn how to see me". (En Vogue lyrics Free Your Mind)
they ignore what we say because it incriminates them and sees them as the catalyst. truth hurts and can be a firewall.
Since TTAG first posted, we’ve been highlighting the fact that American minorities have more incentive to carry a concealed weapon than mainstream America. [Note: not right. Incentive.] They suffer from more violent crime than any other part of American society.Law enforcement agencies and theircompadres in the court system aren’t getting it done. African-Americans need to combat crime at the sharp end. [Note: not vigilantism. Self-defense and deterrence.]At the same time TTAG’s “exposed” the simple truth that U.S. gun control laws are intentionally, inherently, profoundly, unforgivably racist. By design. From the long sad history of disarming freed slaves,to [then] California Ronald Reagan’s unconscionable anti-Black Panther firearms restrictions, to Rahm Emanuel’s middle finger salute to the U.S. Supreme Court’s McDonalddecision, gun control advocates have discriminated against minority Americans.Not to put too fine a point on it, gun control is racism.Sadly, the National Rifle Association has failed to grasp the firearms-shaped nettle. Since first contact with the NRA, this website has asked the nation’s largest firearms lobbying group why they haven’t reached out to America’s minority community.Whether their silence is down to political or financial expediency, the NRA has singularly failed to promote their training regimens to people of color. Their silence on the subject of minority gun ownership is deafening.That said, the NRA IS the black man’s friend. The NRA is pro-gun and anti-gun control; anyone who makes it easier for black men and women to buy, keep and bear arms is working in their best interest. Law-abiding African-Americans need guns.
only if the radicals continue to stock pile and no laws stop things like SYG and carry laws in a bar c'mon, as far as NRA working in favor of Blacks BS, no one who promotes mass gun possession is only looking out for their bottom line not your life. the NRA in part are indirectly responsible for the latest deaths of young Blacks by gun and their lobby to introduce them everywhere that is not protection it's paranoia.
