| "Freed" Negro tries to say that MLK would be happy that our country has the most relaxed gun laws! |
The NRA is the oldest gun lobbyist group out there. They're trying to gin up dollars for the possibility of Republicans taking back the U.S. Senate. They recruit a Black conservative YouTube star to promote their message of more guns and less regulation.
I understand that everyone believes the civil rights leader fought for the rights for all Americans. I mean he paid the price for all with a bullet in his head. But for some reason, people are using the civil rights leader's legacy in negative ways. Last time, there was a controversy over the MLK Twerk Fest.
Now it's about the "freed Negro" using King for a gun ad.
"Freed Negro" Colion Noir is the racist right's excuse for being "not racist". He make a long rant about how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is this big supporter of gun rights.
Yeah, let's take a look into this one.
Hey buddy, we all agree that King was looking forward to having a gun. After all in the South, the racist right was hoping they could put a bullet in him. It's a shame they've gotten that opportunity on that early Memphis morning.
Most of "us Black folk" are often asked to give up our guns because according to your NRA buddies, we're the ones robbing and killing people. After all those so-called liberal mayors wants to keep guns off the streets. They look at those "Black groups" standing near a corner and they call it a "gang".
I mean don't Bikers carry guns?
Don't White extremists carry guns?
Don't you folks often have a man who has extreme views and mentioned around you that there's a possibility that he could just "take them all out"?
Yeah, freed Negro Mr. Colion Noir, you believe in the Second Amendment.
I do as well!
I also believe in reasonable gun control. I mean how many of these innocent young people died because of a firearm. We just had a shooting at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana and one at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
The Second Amendment protects the right of individual Americans to keep and bear arms regardless of service in a militia. The right is not unlimited and does not prohibit all regulation of either firearms or similar devices.
State and local governments are limited to the same extent as the federal government from infringing this right. The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments comprising the Bill of Rights.
It's sealed in the Constitution. But since it applies to those who believe in the right to bare arms, I guess Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims aren't entitled to the benefits of being firearm owners. Of course, cops hate to see us with them.
Whenever I get pulled over by law enforcement, I often tell the officer I'm a concealed carry owner.
They call for a second or third officer to watch what I do. I must put my hands on the wheel whenever I get pulled over. At most times, even in the possibility of me causing some infraction on the state ordinances or laws, I still have to watch what I do whenever I get pulled over.
In my mind, I might get a bullet in me if I make a move.
Oftentimes, most police officers have to watch how they deal with people of color. At best, most police officers are expecting a confrontational Black person. That's why when there's a group of Blacks in a vehicle and there is some traffic infraction (i.e. loud music, tinted windows or failure to signal), the police officers' hands are on their holster.
Adam Winkler, a UCLA professor notes that, after King's house was bombed in 1956, the clergyman applied in Alabama for a concealed carry permit. Local police, loathe to grant such permits to African-Americans, deemed him “unsuitable” and denied his application. Consequently, King would end up leaving the firearms at home.
The lesson from this incident is not, as some NRA members have tried to suggest in recent years, that King should be remembered as a gun-toting Republican.
Yeah, they've considered him the Republican savior!
The racist right often would call him a troublemaker, an adulator, a phony preacher, and even the offensive NIGGER. Some on the racist right would rather not celebrate King day because who would award a "race-baiter" a national holiday.
Ronald Reagan was against the notion of the holiday in the beginning. He and many of this "Freed Negro's" friends are against the notion of giving a Black man a holiday.
Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the bill and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".
Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.
President Ronald Reagan originally opposed the holiday, citing cost concerns. He later signed the measure, after it passed with a 338 to 90 margin in favor in the House of Representatives. Note Reagan vetoed against the holiday.
Sen. John McCain (Republican of Arizona) voted against the creation of the holiday to honor King, and later defended Arizona Republican Governor Evan Mecham's rescission of the state holiday in honor of King created by his Democratic predecessor. After his opposition grew increasingly untenable, McCain reversed his position, and encouraged his home state of Arizona to recognize the holiday despite opposition from Mecham.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, McCain was criticized for his initial opposition to the measure.
But yet, these Republicans claim King was one of their own.
The Stallmigos would have opposed it as well. Think about how Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) are against the holiday as well.
So Mr. Freed Negro, you're argument to say King would endorse more guns on the street is false.
Mr. Freed Negro, hey could you talk to Bobby Seale about firearms?
