I just finished reading another hand-wringing attack on the right to keep and bear arms over at Black Star News. It prompted me to leave a comment, which I'd like to share with you here, especially since there's no guarantee they will post it:...[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at guns and race--and wonders why someone writing under a banner of truth and empowerment resorts to falsehoods to promote individual helplessness.

Mistakenly placed under a different post--it belongs here and he is referring to the rating utility on the Black Star News article:

At the very least, the readers here should "rate" the article in the tools section at the beginning.
I wouldn't dare try to influence anyone's vote on the poor quality of the article.
My response:
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of moron forgets the essential lessons of the history of his people within one generation? Answer: liberal American Jews and liberal African-Americans. Do you really think that the Holocaust would have been stopped by MORE disarmament on the part of European Jews? Do you really think that the Deacons for Defense and Justice could have faced off the Klan and the racist local and state law enforcement that they controlled with frigging tulips in their hands singing "Kum-by-yah?"
Or, more to the point, why would anyone who lives in a community plagued by armed, godless thugs unilaterally disarm? That goes for all ghettoes, including the Warsaw one, or Tulsa in 1921. Ever hear of Rosewood, Florida? What the hell good would it have done if those people had been MORE DISARMED than they were? More innocent black bodies is all.
Gun control in this country BEGAN as a racist idea and remains today fundamentally racist in its thrust. Do you think that the narrow-ass white liberal Thomas Dodd would have had the guts to craft the Gun Control Act of 1968 (or the Dixiecrats the motivation to vote for it) if they hadn't been frightened by the example of the Deacons and the pictures of the Panthers with carbines and shotguns on the state house steps? White liberalism IS racist for all of their mouthing because they don't believe that black folks are capable of taking care of themselves. They have sold the notion that the only true way for black folks to act is to labor on the Democrat Party's plantation and to nurture at the government tit. And, to do what they're told by their "elder statesmen."
THIS is why they always push gun control -- because individual citizens with guns are not under their control, black or white. Thomas Dodd was a LIBERAL! He had no particular love for black folks. Indeed, if his philosophical descendants get their way and talk y'll into unilateral disarmament, what's to prevent the Klan or the neoNazis from engaging in new ethnic cleansing? Do you think THEY will disarm?
Or, not to put too fine a point on it, the godless criminals on your own community, who are currently killing off African Americans at a rate the Klan of the 60s, as they look up from the flames of Hell, can only admire. The gangsta culture has put them in the deep shade when it comes to killing black folks, and who's fault is that? Mr. Charlie Honky?
The answer to that question is, in part, yes. Mr. LIBERAL Charlie Honky sold this bunch of crap to you and you're eating it with relish. The other part of the answer to the question of whose fault it is can be found in the mirror. Only an idiot would forget his history and trade it in for a mess of lies.
Trust me on this, for I have been fighting their kind all my life, whenever the sheethead Kluxers and the green-teeth neoNazis read a story about some inner city "gun buy back" or read a column by Leonard Pitts or some other black columnist about how "we have to confiscate all those evil assault rifles," they laugh their racist asses off, for the same reason they support the abortion of black babies. It's all the same to them and every self-created victim now is just one less they'll have to lynch when their time comes round again.
And you think it won't? That it can't? Weimar Germany was the most open and liberal society that country, or even Europe, had ever seen. Then came the Nazis. Anyone who thinks that tyranny can't come to this country is whistling past the graveyard of history.
What do you do with all your gun regisdtration/confiscation schemes when the GOVERNMENT becomes your enemy? The Deacons knew the answer to that.
Let me tell you the one indisputable lesson of the 20th Century. Tyrannies are not deterred by anything less than guns in the hands of their would-be victims.
To believe anything else is begging to be somebody's victim. The Deacons knew this, and they were just working class veterans, the same kind of veteran that white liberal cartoonists make fun of these days.
Why don't you wake up and smell the shit you're peddling?

ReplyDeleteA Black Man with a gun is....
Equal.
One hundred and sixty years ago, Black folk lived on plantations and were kept under the thumb of their so-called "betters". Part of that was being disarmed.
Today, Black folk live in projects and inner-city neighborhoods and are kept under the thumb of their so-called "betters". You're still disarmed.
Do you really think that you're better off now than you were then?
A Black man with a gun is Equal. Never forget that. An armed Black neighborhood won't have a problem with drugs and gangs. An armed Black neighborhood won't have to suffer the police, who never seem to live in the areas they work in, treating your sons and daughters the same way they treat the criminals they are assigned to deal with.
You don't like the conditions under which you live? The trash, the drugs, the prostitution, the gangs? Arm yourselves. Worried about the reaction from City Hall and Police HQ? Don't be: there isn't a big city where the Black population doesn't outnumber the police by a large margin.
A Black man with a gun is Equal. It's long past time that the last vestiges of dependency were thrown off.
Equality or continued thralldom. What's your choice?
The third leg of the tripod of racism and gun control is ... corruption. How many of the Mayors Against illegal Guns are under indictment? The most recent member, mayor Dwight Jones of Richmond, Va., founded a nonprofit organization which the IRS says owes $27,000 in employee withholding taxes since 2004. Style Weekly of Richmond reports this in their April 22 edition, this exact page of which I found blowin' in the wind in Jones's Dead Zone of a downtown.
ReplyDeleteIf history means nothing to Black Star, maybe dollars out of their community and into bigwigs' pockets will.
BEAUTIFUL educational attmpts, Mr. Codrea, Mr. Vanderboegh. I hope at least some of it sticks.
And you too, Peter.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I would be very grateful if you had time to post these excellent comments over at Examiner to educate the readers there. MV may have to respell "sh*t" to get past the robocensor, but aside from that this would add tremendous value to my column.
ReplyDeleteDone, and with pleasure, sir.
ReplyDeletePeter says: "Today, Black folk live in projects and inner-city neighborhoods and are kept under the thumb of their so-called 'betters'. You're still disarmed.
ReplyDeleteDo you really think that you're better off now than you were then?"
To which I would say, yes, they are slightly better off. They can walk away from the neighborhoods without being dragged back and beaten for escaping, theoretically. In practice it may not be so simple, though. In this case they are more enslaved by a way of thinking than by chains and whips.
BSN seems to have a problem with being encouraged to do research, THEN write. They call us "violent" for reminding them what's at stake. Don't give sugar to the zombies, it wakes them up. Then they don't follow orders any more.
