and the ability of a POC to defend themselves has always struck fear into the hearts of racists in particular. A black person with a gun makes all people equal. In Vietnam no one called me n***** to my face. Why? If they wanted to start something, we started out on equal footing. May the best man in the end still be standing and yes there were racial problems between the white racist and black men who just weren't going to be cowed any longer, there and here.
My grandfather was hated in our part of Georgia because he saved his money from his army days and got hold of some acreage. A black man with a thriving chicken/vegetable farm had envious people in the disguise of the klan ride down on him one night. These white sheeted cowards planted their cross of white supremacy and hate and lit it. My grandfather, grandmother, uncle and two neighbors stepped out of the house, armed. Someone shot and the round hit my grandmother, not fatally and according to grandfather those scoundrels took off because my family members fired back. They hit someone because there was blood on the lawn the next morning. Not another peep came from the white citizens. He was left in peace and I went many summers to work and build a work ethic on our farm that I am proud of to this day. That fact of an armed POC fighting back against racism still to this day rankles white racists. And to disarm POC all manner of lies are put forth as to the propensity of POC to cause problems because they are armed which is a lie. All races and cultures in this society have their lawbreakers. Period. Tis the human condidtion. But POC are singled out because there are forces in AMERICA THAT WANT TO KEEP US IN FEAR of the white supremacy lie and it just ain't happening.
The only armed rebellion in these days come from the white racists or disgruntled and confused domestic terrorist with assault weapons.
