The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) faced an online backlash Sunday after publicizing claims racism is “foundational” to the Second Amendment and its inclusion in the Bill of Rights. Critics accused the civil rights group of spreading misinformation and abandoning its own founding principles. In a recent ACLU “At Liberty” podcast episode, historian Carol Anderson, a professor of African American Studies at Emory University, explained how “anti-blackness” determined the decision to include the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights and informed its “unequal and racist enforcement over the last several hundred years.”

From what I have read in actual history, the second amendment was passed to assure that ordinary citizens would have access to firearms In Europe, for some time, the possession of firearms was limited to the nobility and the Founding Fathers did not want that for the United States. As for the second amendment being racist, read the book: This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed by Charles Cobb. He argues that armed self-defense was a very important part of the Civil Rights Movement. MLK carried a gun.

The ACLU is not for American Civil Liberties guaranteed under the Bill of Rights. Surprise. Shouldn't be. The ACLU is actually for suppressing the liberties guaranteed under the Constitution.

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted to guarantee Americans have the ability to put down oppressive government, something prevented by a tyrannical English king. It guarantees a free America. Personal protection is secondary and very important. Racism is an element falsely applied by racists and others who detest a free America.

Black males between the ages of 18 and 39 are around 3% of the population and commit 56% of all violent felonies. Is that also due to racism? If you ask the ACLU it probably is.

There were many reason for the 2nd amendment: 1. protection against foreign invaders (see War of 1812). 2. protection against the type of government the democRATs are trying to install. 3, Self protection against criminals. It has absolutely nothing to do with race. last time I looked blacks can legally own guns

This is exactly the opposite of the truth. The Second Amendment had absolutely zero to do with race, EVER. And, the NRA has, for my entire life, been VERY open to black member. Does anyone remember that Roy Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was a big NRA member, and welcomed at NRA events. ACLU is a group of Marxist liars.

The NRA filed lawsuits to make sure that Blacks had access to firearms to defend themselves from the KKK. They have been instrumental in making sure that All Citizens will retain the ability to defend themselves from both criminals, and the over-reach of Government.

Unreal! The Biden DOJ put out a warning to states who choose to audit the fraudulent 2020 election results! First, they threatened Arizona. Now they’re threatening the rest of the country! ABC News reported: The Justice Department on Wednesday released guidance intended to caution states embarking on so-called post-election ‘audits’ of vote counts for the 2020 presidential election that they must not run afoul of federal voting laws. The guidance, previously previewed last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland in his policy address on voting rights, outlines federal statutes that the department says elections officials must adhere to during such “audits,” such as preserving all federal elections materials

The Verge reports that Toyota, the world’s largest carmaker, is working behind the scenes to stall any federal mandates that would ban gas-burning cars. According to The New York Times, a top Toyota executive has met with congressional leaders behind closed doors in recent weeks to advocate against the Biden administration’s plans to spend billions of dollars to incentivize the shift to EVs. The executive, Chris Reynolds, has argued that hybrids, like the Toyota Prius, as well as hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles should also be in the mix. In addition, Toyota is also pushing back against EV-friendly policy through the auto industry’s main DC-based lobbying group, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.

In a powerful new legal filing, black and Hispanic pro-lifers ask the Supreme Court to blot out the “dark stain” of its precedent on eugenics by striking down Roe v. Wade (1973) and the “right” to race-based abortion, which they describe as a “tool of modern-day eugenics.” The pro-lifers write that the case Thomas Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health “is an ideal vehicle for the Court to finally overrule Roe v. Wade and its progeny, which have constitutionalized eugenic abortions as a fundamental right.” In the brief, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) —

The piece, published on Sunday by Thomas Blake Earle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University, attempts to depict the water sport’s history as one filled with American imperialism.

Mayor Jimmy Matta of Burien, Washington has ridiculously claimed to be the victim of a “hate crime” because of lightning bolts on a yard sign. Matta made the claim on Friday over a yard sign advocating against progressive candidates, including him. The sign urged people not to vote for Matta, Hugo Garcia, Sarah Moore and Marxist candidate Krystal Marx — and read “SEATTLE POLITICS ARE BAD FOR BURIEN.” Stickers reading “CORRUPT” were also placed on the far-left candidates signs. Matta told local station KIRO 7 that the lightning bolts were “Nazi symbols” being used to attack his, and the other candidates, identities.

Notice the Democrats have stopped claiming that Republicans are the party of old white people? Demographics are changing. Their efforts to stigmatize senior citizens for their age and claim that they aren’t relevant anymore is no longer working. The so-called party of diversity elected an old white man who many believe is losing it cognitively, including the former White House doctor for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Viewership of the traditional MSM evening news on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS leans elderly. Meanwhile, there has been an explosion of conservative youth.

They just can’t quit Trump. Unhinged liberal author Carl Bernstein on Sunday said “delusional” Trump is an “American war criminal.” Carl Bernstein made a name for himself during the Watergate investigation. Since that time his career has been on a steady decline. These days Bernstein is CNN’s in-house loser which makes him a perfect fit for Brian Stelter’s show “Reliable Sources.” “I think we need to calmly step back and maybe look at Trump in a different context. He is America’s, our own American war criminal,” Carl Bernstein said to Stelter.

Perhaps it’s because I grew up surrounded by extraordinarily tough people, but I found myself singularly unmoved by the spectacle in the House on Tuesday, which reminded me of a bad mash-up of Dr. Phil, Oprah, and BLM-produced soap opera, rather than a legitimate inquiry into an event that Democrats have seized upon to consolidate their power by destroying their opposition. As sobbing congressmen and Capitol Police officers took turns talking about their psychic injuries, I was alternately embarrassed for them if they were really that weak, and frightened of them if they were that sociopathic as a pathway to power.
