[quote:Anonymous Coward 25128934:MV8yMTE0Nzg0XzM1NjcyMDExXzYyREUzRjUy] Someone please make sure that Mr. Glover has the following paragraph shoved up his hateful racist chickenshit ass. [b]SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas - Opinion McDonald vs. City of Chicago, October 2009[/b] [i]The use of firearms for self-defense was [b]often the only way black citizens could protect themselves from mob violence.[/b] As Eli Cooper, one target of such violence, is said to have explained, “ ‘[t]he Negro has been run over for fifty years, but it must stop now, and pistols and shotguns are the only weapons to stop a mob.’ ” Church Burnings Follow Negro Agitator’s Lynching, Chicago Defender, Sept. 6, 1919, in id. , at 124. Sometimes, as in Cooper’s case, self-defense did not succeed. He was dragged from his home by a mob and killed as his wife looked on. Ibid. But at other times, the use of firearms allowed targets of mob violence to survive. One man recalled the night during his childhood when his father stood armed at a jail until morning to ward off lynchers. See Cottrol, 354. The experience left him with a sense, “not ‘of powerlessness, but of the “possibilities of salvation” ’ ” that came from standing up to intimidation. [/i] [/quote]
Original Message
“I don’t know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms,” he said. “The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans.”
“A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that’s what the genesis of the second amendment is,” he continued.
