The Revolutionary Gun Clubs Patrolling the Black Neighborhoods of Dallas

On a warm fall day in South Dallas, ten revolutionaries dressed in kaffiyehs and ski masks jog the perimeter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park bellowing "No more pigs in our community!" Military discipline is in full effect as the joggers respond to two former Army Rangers in desert-camo brimmed hats with cries of "Sir, yes, sir!" The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is holding its regular Saturday fitness-training and self-defense class. Men in Che fatigues run with weight bags and roll around on the grass, knife-fighting one another with dull machetes. "I used to salute the [expletive] flag!" the cadets chant. "Now I use it for a rag!"

"A knife changes the whole game," one of the drill sergeants, who goes by the name Chief, explains, demonstrating how to perform a slash-and-stab maneuver on the torso of a wide-eyed girl in her 20s. A panhandler wanders up from the street. He is about to ask for spare change but then becomes interested. "What is this? Self-defense? That's cool." A pack of black bikers throw up their fists as they roar by.

Charles Goodson, the gun club's 31-year-old dreadlocked vegan co-founder, grew up less than a mile away. Both he and Darren X, the national field marshal of the New Black Panther Party, have been organizing around police-violence issues in Dallas for the past decade. Goodson says they worked together last year, during an armed rally in the small East Texas town of Hemphill, where they protested the police's failure to fully investigate the murder of a black man named Alfred Wright. The Dallas New Black Panthers have been carrying guns for years. In an effort to ratchet up their organizing efforts, they formed the Huey P. Newton Gun Club....

LOL! Hold your breath too!

[CorporateStepsister]

LOL!

[CorporateStepsister]

Exactly. They want to live like lords and ladies of the manor and the minorities their loyal serfs.

In typical idiot jourmoflub Darren X is labeled as holding ‘his AR15’ ... he is holding a Hi-Point carbine, not an AR. The caliber might be 9mm or 45acp, but it is not an AR. Pretend is such a fun game for racists to play. But we expect that from minds so steeped in Magic Thinking.

[CorporateStepsister]

Yes.

A lot more people would be alive.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

Southerners may not be to blame for BRINGING slaves to the US initially, but they sure as heck perpetuated the "cycle" once the slaves were here...

The dominant Southerner thought that free black men and women would be too dangerous...

If only they had seen what "slaves" would become in future times...

It was nowhere near as simplistic as you make it seem.

1712
New York forbids freed blacks, Indians, and mulatto slaves from owning real estate and
holding property.

1773
The first separate black church in America is founded in South Carolina.

1774
Virginia takes action against slave importation

1775
In July, George Washington announces a ban on the enlistment of free blacks and slaves
in the colonial army. By the end of the year, he reverses the ban, ordering the Continental
Army to accept the service of free blacks.

1775
In November, Virginia Governor John Murray, Lord Dunmore, issues a proclamation
announcing that any slave fighting on the side of the British will be liberated.

1778
Virginia prohibits the importation of slaves.

1794
Cotton Gin Eli Whitney patents his device for pulling seeds from cotton.
The invention turns cotton into the cash crop of the American South—and creates a huge demand for slave labor.

1850 Compromise
In exchange for California’s entering the Union as a free state,
northern congressmen accept a harsher Fugitive Slave Act.

1854
Kansas-Nebraska Act Setting aside the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Congress allows
these two new territories to choose whether to allow slavery. Violent clashes erupt.

1863
Emancipation Proclamation President Abraham Lincoln decrees that all slaves in _Rebel territory_ are free on January 1, 1863.

Who, exactly, was buying all that cotton and why is that relevant to the Civil War?

It is not a simple question with a simple answer.

[Salamander]

You do realize that the founding fathers had slaves, too, don’t you?

And just about everyone with any money at all, until after the CW?

And that the first slave owner was a black man?

Liberal Says We Shouldn’t Prosecute Sexual Predators… if They are Black

What’s done is done, right or wrong and all of it contributed to the creation of this nation.

The problem is that people are determined to nurse past grievances rather than forge ahead, benefiting from all the new opportunities it has created for them and their descendants.

I could whine about history of the Irish.

But I don’t.

Why?

Because everyone who committed atrocities against my dead kin is also dead.

Move on.

The picture is now labeled correctly. So the libtard either reads FR or some one else pointed it out to the author.

[CorporateStepsister]

Of course, good point.

I just wonder if these thugs will be a never ending albatross on our necks, those of my kids, those of my grandkids.

[Caipirabob]

Thanks for the pricing info. It would seem they’ve been kind of consistent over the years then. Maybe since I shop closer to Christmas I saw some good promos. “Give the gift that goes BANG!” And all that...lol!
