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.

Just make sure all your other licensure requirements for the Bill of Rights are in order.

“colored”
I suspect that word is on the PC forbidden list. I haven’t heard it in probably 30 years. The list, which is real even if it isn’t written, changes so frequently that, in the workplace, the word that was okay yesterday will get you fired today.
““We’re going to study law,” he said. “What our rights are.”
And what they ARE NOT.
Sad to me they have to be guided by their so called leaders to do what the US Constitution guarantees unless maybe they(NAACP) can then start to rant about how hand guns are too expensive and they need to be subsidized??
It's worth a try, my brotha, it's worth a try.
Remember that story a few years ago where a guy who looked like he could've been one of Obama's sons broke into a lady's house and threatened to rape her and she told him Jesus loved him and started quoting The Bible to him and he stopped and turned himself in?
You never know when something might stick.
I suddenly feel like breaking into my rendition of, "The Impossible Dream".
(ahem!) To dreeeeeeeeeeeeem, the impossible dreeeeee.....hack!, hack!, cough! cough!...sorry about that...I really should remember to warm up my vocal chords before I do that.
This could reduce black-on-black violence significantly.
Welcome to the real struggle, brothers.
An armed society is a polite society.
Well, isn’t the “C” in naacp stand for the word “colored”? It’s their acronym, they thought it up. but I agree, let a white person say it and OH MY GOD! You be rassis. Remember the guy who used the word niggardly? IIRC he got fired.
“Shabaka Afrika”?????!!!!! Bwahahahaha.
Great point, mercat.
There are a lot of people , including my doctor, who are concerned about the army that Obama is building, the massive buys of ammo, etc. They believe he does not intend to leave office.
That said, I am glad that citizens are recognizing and exercising their right to bear arms. I hope they couple that with educating their children to respect and obey the law.
“Aren’t they already stealing enough guns?”
Exactly.
LOL! Thanks Texas Eagle. You were a little off pitch there at the beginning of your rendition of The Impossible Dream, :>}
What does NAACP stand for?
Colored people have a problem with the law ... obeying it.
“Methinks the NAACP should worry about young black males between the ages of...etc. more than the Po Po.”
Thats just it, they have to have the police as an evil boogey man or they’d have to turn their focus on themselves as the problem, just like a lot of people already know, but they will never do that. There will always be someone else holdin’ ‘em down and they’ll always have “a long way to go!”................I’m so sick of hearing that I wanna puke. Just more BS they hear in their churches probably.
Proof positive because, I politely say “Thank You” for that comment. Although, I’m not currently packing sitting at the keyboard. Maybe I should be since there are some dastardly wabbits feasting on the lawn. If they paid for it, they can munch away. They didn’t and sadly I can (illegaly) only pellet gun them where I live. :>}
My exact thought after reading the headline. On the other hand, it could increase. Who knows. But, if by some circumstance I was living in a ghetto slum, I know I'd have weapons all over the house for self defense.

Hate to tell you Mr. Bass, but those Constitutional rights you think are your birthright have been systematically trashed by your hero in the white mosk. Too bad you didn’t take off those racist sunglasses long enough to see what fundamental transformation means. For if you did, you would have realized who the real enemies to freedom are.
They have every right to arm themselves against an oppressive government—just as white people do. What’s the big deal?
