CBS's Kendi: Gun-Rights Advocates Are Like People Who Fought for Slavery
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/20/2022 4:22:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Do you support the Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms? If so, you are akin to people who fought for the right to own slaves! That is, if you believe Ibram X. Kendi, a CBS News "Racial Justice Contributor," and anti-racism maven.

Appearing on Sunday's Face the Nation on the occasion of Juneteenth, host Margaret Brennan asked the radical Kendi how he would explain the meaning of the holiday to his six-year-old daughter. Replied Kendi:

"I'm actually going to teach her that . . . throughout this nation's history, there's been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights for freedom. Enslaved people were fighting for freedom from slavery, and enslavers were fighting for the freedom to enslave.

And in many ways that sort of contrast still exists today. There are people who are fighting for freedom from assault rifles, freedom from poverty, freedom from exploitation. And there are others who are fighting for freedom to exploit, freedom to have guns, freedom to maintain inequality."

Enslaved people were fighting for freedom from slavery, and enslavers were fighting for the freedom to enslave.

The enslaved didn't have guns. It took white men with guns willing to lay down their lives for the country to free them.

Maybe if every day Africans had guns they wouldn't have been captured by other Africans and sold into slavery at the muslim slave markets.

Translation: If you believe in individual rights, what you are really saying is that you don’t believe in individual rights.

He does realize there is a substantial percentage of gun owners in America who are black and staunch gun advocates, right?

We lost several family members who fought to free the slaves so this is total BS. One father lost 5 sons fighting for the North.

If this article was true no Northern soldiers would of had weapons.

Meet Stagecoach Mary, the Daring Black Pioneer Who Protected Wild West Stagecoaches Would-be mail thieves didn’t stand a chance against Stagecoach Mary. The hard-drinking, quick-shooting mail carrier sported two guns and men’s clothing.

Leftists love to use the technique of false analogy to propagandize people.

I sometimes wonder if this “multiculturalism” thing is going to really work.
So far, I have to emphatically say, NO

Race is the only card the race hustlers have.

And it isn't just the professional race hustlers. Many ministers of black churches play to the emotion of anger.

Why preach on a subject that doesn't get a good response from the pews? Preaching about how Whitey is responsible for everything bad always riles up an audience.

The very first gun control laws were passed to keep freed slaves from going back and attacking the slave owners.

I guess we can then ignore how after disarming citizens with legal gun controls, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot proceeded to enslave and murder millions. It is hard to believe CBS will put that person’s viewpoint on with a straight face.
