Wish they would have given a recap and maybe spoke with police after...

The 2nd Amendment is not for African Americans. It never was and never will be. It was written with white males in mind, and even today, it’s a white man’s amendment. And if you notice, they prize it above all other constitutional rights because they see it as something exclusively proprietary to being a white male. Of course, they’ll come on here and say different, but I know what I know.

Doesn’t mean that I’m forfeiting my rights, but white men have more natural rights with respect to firearms than I do. And if you’re black or not white, you’d do damn good to remember that.

As a black man, with the way we shoot eachother daily, it will likely stay that way.

It’s ironic to ask people to stop shooting us when we won’t even stop shooting ourselves.

I didn’t ask anyone to “stop shooting us.” No one is shooting me.

I’ll shoot a black person too if I have to. I don’t have a race inscribed on any of my ammunition. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. You’re coming outta left field with whatever the hell you’re attempting to get at.

So again, the 2nd Amendment was written for white males. That has NOTHING to do with who shoots each other. I’m not even having that discussion. You’ll have to talk down on black folks by yourself. I can’t help you. Ever.

Are they in the same neighborhood? I ask because regardless of color, police act differently in high crime vs low crime neighborhoods.

Definitely would have liked to see how each was resolved, the white guy was cut short.

Also would like to know the full context of each situation.

Where were they?

What else may have been going on in the area?

Lol...yeah, when the black guy enters the experiment, it just so happened to coincide with 500 robberies that were happening contemporaneously.

But when the white guy was armed, it was just a coincidence that peace broke out all over the world. SMH

BTW, regarding situations like in Michigan, white armed protesters were arrested in Texas. They were trying to keep a business open. They and the business owner went to jail.

There was a massive thread on this five years ago when the video came out.

For the record, I think the cops were out of line in BOTH cases and from the way the video presents it, they were REALLY out of line with the black guy.

However.........

Just saying that the context, nor the outcome/resolution of either situation was not provided.

We're they filmed by the same people?

Same city?

Same neighborhood?

Same time frame?


Was the white guy filmed a block away from a gun show and the black guy filmed in the middle of a high crime area, a block away from a recent murder?

We don't know, because the people who made the video choose not to tell us.
