Black people being told to arm themselves? thoughts on this [View all] johnnysad Apr 2015 OP

Mosteller sure isn't a MLK, that is for sure still_one Apr 2015 #1

King did not condemn armed self-defense. Neither did Gandhi. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #88

You knew MLK? Wow, tell us more! NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #101

Good luck? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2015 #2

Something as serious as jaywalking? Joe Chi Minh Apr 2015 #5

You assume too much about why Michael Brown was killed. Vattel Apr 2015 #48

I read the report about how the police supervisors hated black people..... bettyellen Apr 2015 #53

Yes,that police department is clearly fucked up. But I was referring to a different report. Vattel Apr 2015 #55

Sounds like you were reading the report truebluegreen Apr 2015 #66

then you agree with me that we shouldn't assume that Brown was murdered. Vattel Apr 2015 #69

You mean where they said since they could not prove Wilson was NOT in fear for his life NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #102

This is why I think that, given the DOJ report, one cannot assume that Brown was murdered: Vattel Apr 2015 #106

Too bad we werent allowed a trial to find out, eh! NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #108

Or a broken tail light, as witnessed by the South Carolina shooting of the black man in the back. nt brush Apr 2015 #131

Exactly. So many cops assume they are armed. treestar Apr 2015 #78

It's always wise to have the tools to defend yourself....no matter what race. ileus Apr 2015 #4

yes, the NRA wetdream of everyone armed, everyone paranoid is sound advice Skittles Apr 2015 #21

Imagine watching Fox News if there is a run on guns by black people? bravenak Apr 2015 #15

Fox/NRA/Alex Jones bots love the idea of a race war. Initech Apr 2015 #19

They may even rethink that whole RKBA thing pinboy3niner Apr 2015 #29

That's what I think! bravenak Apr 2015 #39

History repeating...like when armed Black Panthers freaked them out. pinboy3niner Apr 2015 #42

Omg. Like the three new black panthers at the Philly election. bravenak Apr 2015 #47

Whites have been arming up for decades. And it's mostly racists. I guess that is OK? Hoyt Apr 2015 #52

Well, is it OK Hoyt? Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #85

Seems to be OK among the gun fanciers. Hoyt Apr 2015 #95

It's okay by me that African-Americans should own guns. What about you? Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #97

Actually they are more sensible about gunz than the right wing racists that make up the majority Hoyt Apr 2015 #110

So, you're OK by that. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #123

Yes Eleanor Roosevelt's 38 Pistol, I'm fine with Blacks carrying gunz, but not white yahoos like Hoyt Apr 2015 #124

Curious, where are blacks supposed to get their "guns?" Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #125

Time for you to answer questions. Why do you continue to promote guns in our communities? Hoyt Apr 2015 #127

Begs the question. I don't "promote" guns in anyone's community. Eleanors38 Apr 2015 #128

There are thousands of photos, just search under "images of yahoos carrying gunz." Hoyt Apr 2015 #138

Naah, shameful would be to employ a propaganda technique the AFA also uses... friendly_iconoclast Apr 2015 #139
