What if the Teabaggers Were Black Folk?

Think about it. Make that one change, so now you'd have Black people walking around, openly carrying guns and calling for "watering the Tree of Liberty" with blood. What do you think the reaction would be of the government, of the local cops, of the FBI and the ATF? Do you think there would be word one spoken about "respecting Second Amendment rights?

Tim Wise thought about it. It's worth the time to read it.

I, for one, don't have to imagine it. I remember a time when Black protesters, primarily the Black Panthers, did protest by openly carrying firearms. A Republican governor, named Ronald Reagan, immediately rammed through a law to outlaw the open carry of firearms in California.

The Second Amendment would be toast in no time.
