After the killing of George Floyd, some African-Americans are now considering taking up arms to deter police violence. The second amendment gives Americans that right
The killing of George Floyd in the US city of Minneapolis and the outrage that has followed are not without precedent in the recent history of American race relations.
Reactions to each incident have also been similar; writhing anger at a system that routinely kills black people without any perceivable justification on the one hand, and persistent proclamations by many on the right that such killings are either justified or a rarity and therefore do not truly represent the racial dynamic operating in the US
Scenes of white men cosplaying in military fatigues and carrying semi-automatic rifles have become commonplaceThe question some African-Americans are asking, given what they see as a very blatant racial hierarchy in the US, is ‘what now?’ Rapper Snoop Dogg shared an image of a black woman with her collection of assault rifles laid out across the pavement outside of her home, adding the caption: “No more marching or talking stay ready so u don’t have to get ready.”It’s a little known fact that a lot of gun legislation in the US was designed with keeping the weapons out of the hands of black people.
