Quote:It can be a matter of perspective... saying it's cool when white guys walk around with guns, but then banning then when a group of organized black guys do it can be seen as racist...


I mean, I know that back in the 60s and 70s the black Panthers were scary but did they have a history of violence? Or were the just perceived that way, because they were black and sick and tired of the system that was oppressing them?

 

I'll go out on a limb here and say that I would bet that there are members of Oath Keepers that are black.  I don't have any evidence to back that up, just a gut feeling.

 

If the "protesters" in Ferguson were openly carrying firearms, do you think that they would stop and allow a police officer to check their concealed carry credentials?

 

This isn't the 60's or 70's.  The Black Panthers of today are a whole different group and deserve the skepticism directed at them.  After all, they are a racist group that preach violence towards non-blacks.
