That should be obvious as the entire African American community composes only 13% of the American population.
What I posted is an accurate perception shared by many. It is why Black Lives Matter even exists.
Tell me, when was the last time you heard or read about some caucasian walking in public with a toy or real gun getting shot just for having it?
On the other hand, you read about some black dude getting shot for carrying a toy every other day. When black people open carry, they are thugs. When white people open carry, they are patriots.
Reported in the story is that his mother knew he had a BB gun, a very realistic reproduction of a semi-auto pistol, in his possession when he left the house. This might have been a Darwin Award candidate story.
Of course there will be riots. Time to stock up on new flat screens.
Facts are, that if you're black and carrying that gun, whatever age, you'll get shot. If you're white and carrying a real version of that gun, cocked and locked, it will just be considered an "open carry" situation and you get a pass and a howdy do.
Second amendment trumps all else when white. Cops won't respond until you start picking off the customers at the mall, with it.
The answer is obvious for black folks then. Don't carry things that resemble firearms. You will get shot. This should be part of the "talk".
As a black person their are several things you can't really do in America that white people can do such as openly carrying firearms, but their are many factors other than race.
Age- 10-40 (Broad Range)
15-35
Sex- Male
Location- Urban area with high/moderate/low crime or even suburban area with moderate/high crime. Also if your not in an open carry state.
If your Black and all of the above you are asking to get shot, Also if you are Hispanic and certain groups of White people.
Now the opposite.
Age: 60+
Sex- Female
Location- Rural Area or Wealthy low crime exurb/suburb. In an open carry state.
If your race was black or you were ethnically hispanic you most likely won't be shot for these factors although if you are Asian or White (outside of SW Asia) then you can basically do whatever you want.
