Showing Original Post only (View all)Will there be an increase in blacks obtaining concealed carry permits? [View all]
Since the Zimmerman trial verdict there has been and continues to be speculation on what the "black community" will do, even to the point of rioting. Charges of racism and "profiling" have been leveled on those who see riots in the offing.
But is it racist to suggest that a substantial number of blacks may arm themselves as a result of the trial verdict, esp. since licensed concealed-carry is not as widespread among blacks? Should blacks now be dissuaded from such action? Who would like to start such a "campaign?" Would an African-American population, legally armed on a parity with "whites," disturb or disrupt one's image of blacks or re-enforce it?

Pretty easy to see that he/she was trying to portray this "black guy" as a fool.

With all due respect you are wrong. Race is very much a part of the Criminal Justice system.

That is not racist at all but reality. Just look at what happened to poor Trayvon!
