These Terrified Black Americans Are Packing Heat
Daily Beast ^ | June 8, 2020 | David Dent

In the shadows of news coverage of protests nationwide, people like Williams live with the sometimes painful challenges of raising African-American children in a hostile climate. Many parents like her see learning how to use guns safely as one of the best options to protect their families. Williams, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, says she is troubled watching what looks like a rise in open white supremacy and Americans erupting in anger over politics. She says she tries her best not to discuss Trump, politics, “and watches her back everywhere” to avoid giving anyone a reason

There are two phrases that I am completely sick of: “packing heat” and “gun-toting”. Can’t anyone simply carry a gun?

I’ve seen this before. Black woman was so freaked out about the police wanting to kill her and her child because of her color, she got out of her car racking a shotgun when she got pulled over, her child screaming in the back seat, and the stupid woman filming herself the whole time. Naturally they shot her DRT. THESE GROUPS, BLM, Black Panthers, Antifa, and their plantation masters in the DNC are setting them all up for death. Useful IDIOTS. When the Globalists get what they want, all these useful idiots won’t be useful for anything anymore. They’ll then learn about the camps.

I am sure most black people cross the street in fear whenever they see a white person coming their way....

When granny and her friends have recently purchased their first guns and meet weekly at a firing range the Democrats should get nervous.

See ... that’s what worries me. The “terrified black Americans” are terrified of US (thanks to the MSM). And they’re gonna be packing heat? I don’t like the sound of that.

... a rise in open white supremacy

Repetition is a form of mind control.

Don't think for one second that these publications do not know this fact.

They are doing their part in destroying America and they know it.

She has more to fear from other blacks than any whites. 93 times out of a hundred, it's a black killing a black.

Yeah, she should carry a gun, but it's for her own people down in the hood.

There was once white flight after riots. This time it will be middle class flight. Skin color will make no difference.

Going forward a few years or more, these protests will not be well remembered, but the 2020 riots will be in our minds forever.

Those “white anger” folks must be different than the white people that Jesse Jackson is glad to see when walking down the street at night...

the police usually cannot arrive in time to protect you, EVEN IF your local politicians don’t restrain them or put them on leashes or direct them to do “minority community relations”

anyone without good firearms with today’s D party bosses (especially anyone in big cities with D party mayors) needs to get armed up... without any further delay, dreaming, wishing, hoping. Protect yourself or kiss your arse goodbye when the Soroznazi-funded gangsters, arsonists, and looters arrive.

I had a brief stint working for a firearms dealer when I was younger. Some of our best customers were older black men who lived in parts of town where civilization had more or less collapsed. At times their fear was palpable.

“but the 2020 riots will be in our minds forever.”

I doubt it. Nobody remembers that more than 4,000 bombs were detonated by leftists in the early 1970s.

Well they have asked that the police not be a presence in their neighborhoods after all.
