| In his eagerness to lead the NAACP into the
rash of lawsuits that various cities are filing against gun manufacturers,
Kweisi Mfume, President & CEO of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People allowed himself to
make the following noises. (full text is at the NAACP's Web site)
"Easily available handguns are being used to turn many of our communities into war zones," said Mfume. "The fact that the illegal trafficking of firearms disproportionately affects minority communities in this country is indisputable. Urban communities have sadly become so accustomed to the prevalence of firearms in their neighborhoods that they are no longer shocked at the sound of gunfire." ..."According to a 1998 National Vital Statistics Report, African American males between the ages of 15-24 are almost five times more likely to be injured by firearms than white males in the same age group. Black females in that category are almost four times more likely to be injured by firearms than white females. Firearm homicide has been the leading cause of death among young African American males for nearly 30 years." Mr. Mfume... sheets and pillowcases with eyeholes are not symbols of Black empowerment. The famous Black educator Booker T. Washington warned, "There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." |
The "National Association for the Abuse of
Colored People" (otherwise known as the sheet- heads or the KKK), also
are proud members of Handgun Control International. The following were
found at www.kukluxklan.org, and there doesn't seem to be much difference
between these statements and Mr. Mfume's at left.
"When you look at the fact that at only 12% of the population, blacks account for 64% of violent crime and they are expected to dramatically increase, we can only assume that we are indeed in for far more serious and troubled time then we can imagine." "Negro rappers such as IceT who gave us the song 'Cop Killer' are elevated to hero status and the inner city dwellers are all to eager to live up to the songs [sic] message."  Would
this help, Mr. Mfume? The sheet-heads think it would... |
