Not the Other Way Around
On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find.

Which brings us to today… Asshat Jason Whitlock, the Kansas City columnist whose article on Jovan Belcher‘s murder-suicide inspired an anti-gun rant by NBC’s Bob Costas, now says that the pro-Second Amendment National Rifle Association is “the new KKK,” Newsbusters’ Tim Graham reported Monday.
Obviously, Whitlock is as ignorant as he is offensive. The NRA actually helped blacks defend themselves from violent KKK Democrats in the south, not the other way around. Ann Coulter wrote about the history of blacks and the NRA back in April.
This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
How’s that “may issue” gun permit policy working for you?
The NRA opposed these discretionary gun permit laws and proceeded to grant NRA charters to blacks who sought to defend themselves from Klan violence — including the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams.
A World War II Marine veteran, Williams returned home to Monroe, N.C., to find the Klan riding high — beating, lynching and murdering blacks at will. No one would join the NAACP for fear of Klan reprisals. Williams became president of the local chapter and increased membership from six to more than 200.
But it was not until he got a charter from the NRA in 1957 and founded the Black Armed Guard that the Klan got their comeuppance in Monroe.
Williams’ repeated thwarting of violent Klan attacks is described in his stirring book, “Negroes With Guns.” In one crucial battle, the Klan sieged the home of a black physician and his wife, but Williams and his Black Armed Guard stood sentry and repelled the larger, cowardly force. And that was the end of it.
As the Klan found out, it’s not so much fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.
The NRA’s proud history of fighting the Klan has been airbrushed out of the record by those who were complicit with the KKK, Jim Crow and racial terror, to wit: the Democrats.
Sadly, asshat Whitlock will get away with his outrageous lies. The early KKK Democrats would be proud.

Join the NRA to honor the motivation provided by Emma Gonzales the baboon. Americans are stampeding from her nauseatingly gruesome countenance to the NRA.
Another reason statists hate the 2A.
Dependence, not self-rule, is the goal. And I don’t mean dependence on the transcendent God who is above all men. I mean dependence on a human institution—whether it be the slavemaster, nanny state, or bureaucracy.
Democrats (and some Rs) are modern day statists.
Jim Hoft. Is this the same Robert F. Williams who became a Maoist Communist and founded the radical Revolutionary Action Movement ( RAM) which committed acts of terrorism against the US?
If so, this Williams fled first to Cuba to stir things up back here at home, then lived and wrote/broadcast from Red China.
Eventually he returned to the US and testified about his communist history and actions before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Committee probably in the late 60’s or early 70’s. Forget the exact year.
This is a fascinating interview by Jesse Lee Peterson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCjsa-31B4 . Ty Barnett seems to think that Jesse Lee Peterson grew up as a slave.
I just read a book called “This non violence stuff’ll get you killed”, about blacks using non violence in the South in the 60’s, but at the same time having a heavy presence of guns to protect themselves. It talks about how they found, as the author quotes, it’s not so much fun when the rabbit is armed.
The Democrats are the real racists!!
vs.
We will take money from the white folks, and give it to you for just voting for us!
One of these makes Baby Boomer Republicans feel better about themselves, the other ensures that Democrats have 90% of the black vote forever. The reality of identity politics is not contingent on anyone liking it.
