Organizers said up to 1,000 legally armed citizens will descend on Greenwood to pay homage to the armed Tulsans who died defending the neighborhood during the Tulsa race massacre in 1921.

They said the march is about unifying the Black community, not about sparking fear or intimidation, but they are willing to act in self-defense if they need to. “Never again. This is the purpose of the guns," said Nick Bezzel with the Elmer Geronimo Pratt Gun Club. "Never again will you come into a neighborhood, a Black community, and massacre people the way you did Greenwood, even the red summer in Chicago.”
So, no mention about going into inner city black neighborhoods and dealing with the NUMBER ONE THREAT TO BLACKS - OTHER BLACKS? When I see this kind of thing it just goes in one ear and out the other. Very selective outrage on their part, that will only further divide.

So in your opinion the 2nd applies also to people even like the idiot in the video?

Why do race hustlers have to go back 100 or 150 years to find grievances to commemorate and be mad about today?

Is that possibly a sign that things have changed quite a bit?

Furthering the push for reparations, that is my guess.

I completely agree. This event really is a non issue , as long as it stays peaceful.

Right?
That would actually be good...

because then we could be for certain that all the 20 something thousand gun owners who shoot themselves... their families... and their friends...and of course the occasional bad guy...

Are all conservatives.

The only problem with your theory is when the shootings go way way down after the leftists are all disarmed........

Tulsa is offering a $10,000 bonus to any remote worker who moves to and resides in the city for a year.

It is hoped enough young educated people will stay put and enable Tulsa to attract tech companies to relocate or start ups to happen.

I think many on this thread are misunderstanding the 2nd Amendment rights...


By definition, to 'exercise' 2nd Amendment rights...that means, drawing firearms on the Govt, in an attempt to frighten them, ( I cannot imagine police support such a thing)

This is okay. As long as it's not rednecks with guns. These folks have every right to knock off a few people, say a young Caucasian woman and her three children, just to atone for what happened in 1921. Or 1821, for that matter. Or 1721. Or 1221.
