The NRA is a white man’s organization anyway. They’re set up to protect the gun rights of white folks. They don’t even bother to hide that fact.
So what if they have a racist leader or spokesman? Why would you expect anything else? African Americans should belong to African American gun rights organizations like the NAAGA. Black folks shouldn’t be consumed with what the NRA is doing or saying. When they refused to take a stand for Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, they were trying to tell you who and what they were. You should believe them.
You can't be serious
You must be racist to think minorities and "black folks" don't enjoy the protection of the 2a or are not capable to want yo be gun owners.
I hope that's not Carolyn Meadows. She is literally the chairman of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, an organization that dynamited the nation's largest Confederate memorial into a mountainside, and whose "education center" is called Confederate Hall. An organization that blocked an MLK memorial as being "out of line with their vision", which I'm sure is quite true.
Are you seriously crying about a historical monument? Good lord....Stone Mountain is a beautiful place. Sorry (not really) but you and the rest of the American Taliban aren't going to destroy historical monuments because you don't like them.

Ah yes. Majestically stretching back across the centuries, whispering to us from the remote past, making us feel connected with those whose handiwork we admire, wondering what they thought so far back. Or in this case, what they thought in 1970. It's not exactly the Taj Mahal we're talking about.
If you take on a job with an institution whose landmark is carved in praise of the leadership of the Confederacy, yeah - I will feel free to draw my conclusions.

No one really cares if you whine about it. Truly we who live in the south don't care what a west coast yankee thinks about us or our history. Lol. It amuses us,truly it does. Its like watching our children throwing a fit because they didn't get their way.
The NRA is funded by and represents its individual members unlike the huge Soros and Bloomberg backed groups like Act Blue, and huge public sector unions like SEIU and NEA. Look at the donations. NRA is insignificant, and doesn't even make the top 50.
Is the statement untrue? If McBath was indeed elected because she was black, how is that a racist statement? If her statement is untrue then I could see how it would be construed as racist.
Of course it's untrue.
I'm in McBath's district and I voted for her, not because she is black, but because I refuse to vote for any R as long as the head of that party is a disgusting lawless maniac.
The second amendment doesn’t apply to African Americans. It never has. Ask Ronald Reagan.
The NRA doesn’t stand for African American’s Second Amendment Rights. You can argue all you want, but we don’t trust the NRA and we never will. That’s why African Americans are creating their own organizations.
I support the 2nd Amendment. I once was a member of the NRA. When they would call and call and call and send email after email begging for money I wanted nothing more to do with being a member.
When they refused to support Philandro Castile I realized it was something I couldn't support at all.
I believe there needs to be a group that defends our Constitutionally acknowledged rights. It is disappointing that the ACLU won't using the excuse that there is already a group that does that but that group is more concerned now with money and power.
