The NRA Defended Blacks From KKK

[Survivalcookie]

This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.

......sorry, I have serious issue with any source that uses the term "blacks" being considered credible.

What is the correct term???? I know what is in the rap lyrics...I would never use that,I personally would be offended if someone called me a "German American"...., Some people need to get over being so sensitive

 

[HoughMade]

I'll be sure to tell my business partner, friends and neighbors that they should stop referring to themselves as "black". I'll ask them to consult a college professor for the proper term.

Any problem with Hoosiers as a source? Let's all jump into a blender and come up with a neutral color classification. We all stand under the same flag here.

Anyone who is a racist is a fool,but for the sake of historical conversation and indeed daily life,race is sometimes referred to....Once again,to anyone who is overly sensitive-GET OVER IT ALREADY!

Yeah, credibility should have nothing to do with facts or truth. Just base it on imaginary intended offense.

Wow...James Brown is not credible....Sad day indeed...

Thanks dude...Because I had to find this video to refute your comment, my Cracker A$$ is going to be singing this song the rest of the day and into tomorrow....The Godfather just kind of has that effect...It's the horns man...It's the daggone horns...Say it loud James...Say it loud..

Uh wut?

Yeah, let's call all dark-skinned people African American. Who cares if they are Jamaican American, it just sounds better.

Or we could call ALL people "colored" (or as the Left prefers, "people of color"), since there's really no such thing as a "white" person, or "black" for that matter.

Wow, didn't think my personal preference in news sources would add such fuel to a thread. I won't bother giving a long winded response to all the flaming; I myself just don't care for a generalized term such as "blacks" regardless as to whom is using it. Especially when the article gives specific reference to individuals who are in fact of African decent. But that deviates to another tangent of ethnicity vs race.

Then again this being an internet forum there's no way to determine a persons real perspective through a post. There was no malice to my original post; no sarcasm, just didn't care for the writing/terminology. Similar to discregarding a writer who cannot figure out there/their/they're.

It's unfair to paint the NRA as anything near the KKK, implying that it has a ingrained culture of racism. However, I have no doubt, that in the past, some chapters we less thrilled with integration than others. That's just the nature of the beast for any national organization with many different chapters.

In the census a few years ago the terms were Black, African American, Afro American, and another all under the same choice.

Then there was just "White".

I have a serious issue with that because I miss the good ol' days when were known as Caucasian.

Then please enlighten us to the proper or preferred racial vernacular that is applicable to all people that are fitting to this description.

As far as I understand from a scientific perspective, everyone's decent is originally from Africa.....or if once chooses a more historical description, Eden.

Or figure out how to spell "disregarding."

Talked to some African immigrants recently - they can't understand "African-American" at all. They say American blacks have no connection whatever to Africa, have lived here for generations, and many are from somewhere else besides Africa. They don't get why they are not just called Americans.

You just opened a can of worms. Referring to anything biblical will get you slammed on here these days. The anti-religious/leftists will be here shortly to inform you of the error of your ways. Enjoy.

Yep. Because we all know that the haters are always so open minded.

You sure there is no 'c' in disregarding? A typo and a grammatical error are synonymous for sure.

I completely understand their confusion. I'm sure they don't refer to the caucasion African population as French-Africans.
