      To be honest, the left arming itself, particularly if it is the Black left, is the quickest way to get gun control. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1030917356699217920 …

      Some people responding to this post are seemingly unaware of how California conservatives came to love gun control after the Black Panther party emerged: https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act …

          So, yeah, I just watched the Black Panthers documentary on Netflix and - this was crazy to me - Eldridge Cleaver ended up an evangelical Christian who voted Reagan for the presidency. How does that happen?

          I got the reference, but the risk of an actual shooting war, with Trump's government enforcing marshal law jump up not-insignificantly.

          Sigh. Everything-EVERYTHING- in this country comes back to race. To white people’s fear of losing status. I say this as a 60 year old white Protestant women. It is glaringly obvious and horribly sad.

          And if we don't know the histories of black Americans, our Native nations, and immigrant groups, then we don't know American history at all.
