From what I've seen & heard, he gets it.

We have a plethora of black history courses in primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions of learning throughout the United States. Yet and still, there are indications that quantity does not necessarily equal quality.
“As the NRA and other groups started to want to use me as a symbol of the Second Amendment — a black voice — I started reading up,” Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke told National Review’s Charles C. W. Cooke. “I became fascinated.”
“What really struck me was the black tradition of arms. . . . I thought, Wow. This isn’t the black history I grew up reading about.” “Once blacks were able to arm themselves to protect against kidnapping and lynching,” he told Cooke, “things really began to change in terms of black freedom.”
Sheriff Clarke spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference this year but he may never appear on the rostrum of a Republican convention, and not just because he is an elected, registered Democrat. “I believe that the Constitution protects individuals and not groups,” Sheriff Clarke told Cooke. “I believe in safe streets here at home. And I believe in states’ rights. For a label for me, ‘conservative’ is more appropriate than ‘Republican.’”
There are many who might identify.
What until he finds out that the KKK and Jim Crow laws were established and run by democrats...
From what I've seen & heard, he gets it.
Democrat policies are harming Black communities.
He probably already knows that. My guess is that he's registered as a Democrat since that's likely the only way to get elected in Milwaukee.
Black history misses black revolutionary patriots like Salem Poor and James Armistead Lafayette.
Sheriff Clarke explains how he became a supporter of the 2nd Amendment for ALL.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Gotta say, I really like my sheriff.
He’s like me. Conservative is the proper label. Not Republican. They’ve by and large left me.
In the words of a famous guy, I feel your pain.
