While I would agree with you, it is kind of hard to do as such, when I was responding to someone calling Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson Black leaders.

they are self proclaimed black leaders, and you have to admit, you know there are black people that do look up to them. not saying there are many by any means but they do exist. there's going to be people on any end of the spectrum while most lie somewhere in the middle

This is the most ridiculous leap of quasi-logic I've ever seen.

If you really want to know why Black leaders are opposed to profilgate distribution of handguns, go to an urban hospital's ER some weekend night and see what color gun-shot victims are.

gun shot victims are of every color. and since you are talking about black leaders, please tell me who these black leaders are?

These people that you want to call black leaders are opposed to guns because of their liberal viewpoints on guns.

I was quoting another poster who referenced two black leaders by name. NBA basketball players are of every color, too. Be sure to point that out if anyone ever says there are lots of black ones.

Have you noticed that black people and their leaders have liberal viewpoints on almost everything?

'Course our society isn't any more interested in equality today than it ever really was. We just kinda switched the sides around, since we all know 2 wrongs make a right. New math yknow.

"'tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and prove it."

You should probably watch the video before you start weighing in authoritatively on its subject matter.

Another "They're Coming To Take My Guns Away" post. Good grief, nobody wants your stinking guns. Buy ten, buy a thousand if you want. Create your own militia of overweight, wheezing "patriots". Is this obsession prevalent anywhere else in the civilized world? Get a grip.

Nope never noticed black people have liberal view points on almost everything. Maybe it depends on what black people you know or associate with. In my household and those we associate with, we are all Conservatives and Republicans. Heck a few amongst also attend every tea part convention they can.

The video isn't just about blacks, it's geared toward the average Joe's right to defend himself. This is a right they are trying hard to take away. They need to realize that the police can't be there for every situation. Another thing I picked up on while watching the video is, that there truly is a arms race in the streets.
