I’m not giving up @KENNETH I’m just saying legislation isas out best solution, that was what the civil rights movement was about. i often cite the Montgomery Bus Boycott as a prime example of identifying a goal and getting everyone organized to achieve that goal. That was a local effort that resulted in national legislation that impacted far more people.

What about the vast majority of the Black people who are not in the Nation do you expect all of us to join the Nation of Islam? But here too The nation was infiltrated by agent provocateurs and government spies. It’s not easy to tell if you’re serious or not with the emojis. But obviously in the last hundred years, there’s been a great deal of progress watch it stemming from laws ending segregation, and like. Even in this most egregious murder that police officer will go to jail I would not describe that as impunity. our biggest risk of murder is not from a rabid white racist, but from another black person. A white person is for more likely to murder another white person than a black person.

A Black agenda has been created before. You just can’t get enough Black people to support it. In my years of life individuals always hurt our ability to organize as they eventually or their own self interest ahead of the group.

I think Trump will win because there isn't a popular vote and we have this winner take all electoral college. Trump would lose a popular vote by millions. The reality is that the Presidental election will be determined by a handful states. It is really important for Black people in Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan to vote. In states like California and New York it does not matter so much... I know there are some of you that would bristle at me saying one more Black person voting democrat in California or New York ain't gonna make a difference in the outcome of the election -- it is just math.

The organization required would be monumental. Such an organization would not be able to go unnoticed. Once exposed sell-out, turncoats, and snitches with the promise of a quick payday would be the undoing. Michelle Obama has a much better chance at becoming the POTUS that a group of organized Black vigilantes. I think the best chance we have given our numbers would be to work within the system -- even as f'ed up as it is.

Me neither. it is pure wasted mental energy. I can see people starting this meme in order to depress black male votes for Kamala. I don’t think it was done to destabilize, black male female relationships. That job is already been completed.😮

It is simpler than — it is just plain evil. The cop that shot that young lady was a devil. you expect them to take on the entire police department? What would you do? Supposed those brothers were armed and started taking out 33 white peoples for every innocent black one killed by a cop. how do you think that would go over?

How do you know this? You don’t think they are knocking boots? Do you not think she is in love with her man? 😍

Terrible.

It is a matter of opinion, so I'm not saying you are right or wrong. Why adapt a pedophile into a Black character? What purposes does that serve? Just leave that character as originally written.

We don't need any guns. We have so them because of slick marketing, fearmongering, the NRA, gun lobbyists and so on. We are a gun culture because it makes gun manufacturers very wealthy. As a result, we have a much more violence.

You could adapt anything. The real question is why adapt Lolita with black characters?

Have you looked at the data or, like me ,are you just saying stuff 😉 Looking at the data at a state level is misleading. Municipalities within an estate can vary a great deal Syracuse, New York is nothing like New York City and the south side of Chicago is nothing like Maywood. The vast majority of people in open carry states don’t walk around with their guns and plain display. So that would seem to have little impact on the stats. Criminals have already backed this into their methodology. I do know of a story : my buddy’s sister is a New York City police officer or was at the time. some guy came into the beauty salon to rob it while she was getting her hair did. she pulled out her service revolver and shot him. That story made national news. Because stories like this are exceedingly rare.

Sorry @ProfD I meant Non-open carry. At any rate, you are more likely to have your open-carried firearm snatched from you that you are to thwart a crime... I checked a few sources, and the majority of American don't have a gun the home. In the NE where I'm from ownership rates are less than 20%. In NJ is it less than 10%. The places where mass shooting occur are where gun ownership is higher. I guess you also believe every government should have nukes.

There are many open carry states with much lower murder rates than Texas.

Ok ’d failed to code that option.

What is the option?

Roosevelt was elected for 4 terms they changed the law after him. Trump will probably. be a wartime president and justify changing the law.

Unfortunately, you have to vote for her man. That would be par for the course.

I came close to buying a gun a couple of times the rifles are amazing accurate and easy to shoot. I don’t see how they are any good for home or personal protection — unless it is some Tulsa race massacre situation. You don’t need a clean record to get a gun you can just buy one from someone who does, though that is not legal

There are definitely people stock piling guns. I know several -- all of them Black. None of them are hunters. It is a messed up that we live in a country where so many people feel the need to stockpile weapons. They make you feel like you are the fool...

Nah guns are a little different. Any punk can pull out a gun and shoot someone. These weapons cause more violence, not less. the white boy that shot up all those people in Las Vegas a few years ago could not have used any other weapon to accomplish the same level of murder and mayhem. Those military style assault weapons should never have been sold and marketed to civilians. There is no rational reason for anyone to own one of those things. everyone I know who owns one justifies it by saying “I gotta protect my family man.” From what?

OK I guess we will have to agree to disagree that the widespread proliferation of guns and our gun culture has nothing to do with our high rates of gun violence 🤨

Go ahead give it a shot. I think someone who is a sitting VP has more relevant experience that a Jr senator. Spineless? Based upon what?

LOL! You know that's right! White boys will lose their shit! With a stacked supreme court, he can change that law too.
