NAACP urges 'black people' to take up arms

Arkansas black leaders are urging fellow minorities to take up arms, join gun clubs and help curb what they perceive as unjustified violence from police – the latest of many such call-to-arms among members of the black community.

“Law enforcement has to understand, you cannot do what you please when you see us,” said Crittenden County NAACP chief, Shabaka Afrika, in a news conference reported by WTOC.

Crittenden County Justice Commission founder Hubert Bass said locals ought to become better educated, especially about their constitutional rights, and should join gun clubs.

“We’re going to study law,” he said. “What our rights are. We also want to be looking at our constitutional rights in carrying weapons. All police encounters need to be recorded. It’s unfortunate it has to be that way. But it has to be that way.”

Afrika emphasized the NAACP was “not against law enforcement. We need law enforcement. But it has to be accountable,” he said, WTOC reported.

"“We’re going to study law,” he said. “What our rights are. We also want to be looking at our constitutional rights in carrying weapons." I guess some folks still don't understand the Bill of Rights. You know. The ones that prohibit the govt from doing certain things. Maybe the naacp should contact GOA or JPFO or NRA or CCRKBA for some pointers. Or does this mean that somebody is going to be willing to "shoot back" at LEO if they "FEEL" they've been wrongfully stopped.

I think every law abiding American should take up arms. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Everybody should be taking up arms. Regardless of reason.

Nothing wrong with taking up arms to protect yourself but again the colored lobby is focusing on the wrong problem.

Hmmm exercise the 2nd amendment - check. study the Constitution - check.
Mistrust the government - check. Sounds like a conservative to me.

Methinks the NAACP should worry about young black males between the ages of...etc. more than the Po Po.

Where is that little guy in the "racist" gif when you need him?

Amen, bro! That's why The NRA was started in the first place. To give blacks a chance to defend themselves against lawless DemocRATS.

Or am I the only one who has the nerve to point out that most of these cop-on-black shootings are occurring in DemocRAT controlled cities by cops who belong to DemocRAT controlled Unions?

(Note to viewers: If my body is found hacked to a hundred pieces floating down the river, I did NOT commit suicide. I don't care what the note nailed to my forehead says)

Like urging fish to take up swimming.

Somehow it's never colored. It's always black and white.

Good, now all they need to do is VOTE to protect their rights to hold on to their weapons.

Once they figure that part out, the Democrats are THROUGH.

Oh yeah - that’s going to help. Some black guy takes up arms and starts waving a Glock at a policeman. That will stop violence. Sure.

A deep appreciation of our God given rights of self defense could lead to other revelations leading to more understanding of our Constitutional rights.

And absolutely, every American citizen should embrace and train to responsibly use firearms.

It seems to me that the blacks want their own system of governance that does not impede on their destruction.

Keep feeding your own with drugs and soon enough you will be in control of a bunch of addicts.

Liberal Utopia.

At least when these thugs are gunned down, they can't claim they were unarmed.

Well, you could try to teach folks about the founding of the NRA but that would be like driving that nail in to your forehead. At the same time you might also teach folks about the the founding of the kkk. Will anyone wake up in time? Doubtful.

Your right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is up to you! The Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment so WE can protect that right.

Instead of the message of Don't do Crime, get married and raise your children
and stop becoming whores, they tell Blacks to arm themselves which
they already do.

Which brilliant mastermind thought up this un-original idea?
