Hmm, there were some Black Panthers who used grease guns on a NYPD patrol car in the 1970s

But most MGs in teh USA in the 1970s used by criminals were stolen or smuggled from US army bases by the Mafia and the bulk KEPT here were by the KKK.   Most were run to the IRA.

Boston Mob especially had a major operation going shipping assault rifles to Ireland in the 1970s that the FBI finally broke up in 1982.

Henry Hill, of "Goodfellas" fame claimed to have a guy in the Rock Island Arsenal who'd ship him assault rifles for sale

Yep! The mob actually played a large role in a lot of stuff going on in the 70's, 80's. Especially with drugs and firearms. Supposedly people in the military were smuggling in merchandise in the dead bodies of vietnam soldiers too. Well, not in the bodies, but the bags they were carried in.

Even if this WAS true, the no one can make you do anything by just giving you drugs or weapons. It comes down to the individual making decisions in their own life. At some point you have to throw out your conspiracy theories and take personal responsibility for your own actions. If you [] someone and get aids, it's your fault for [] them. If you shoot someone with a gun, it's your fault for shooting them. If you waste away any potential you could have had in life by taking drugs, it's still your own fault for taking them.

It's that basic and simple.

lol That's not true at all. You're speaking based on the experiences and lessons taught to you in your life. It's like, if you're 7 years old and your parents come into your room and tell you to drink a beer and do this everyday till you're 10. Chances are you are going to grow up an alcoholic. For some people in this world, the influences around them are all that they know. Even if they develop the mentality in their adult life to say hey "maybe this isn't good for me or the right thing to do" it's likely not going to change because they've grown used to a certain thing.

This is the problem with gang violence. People often say that these kids have a choice but in most cases they don't at all. I know or have known people who were affiliated with gangs. They were approached in school by these gangs and were basically told that they  had to join or they'd get shot. And it's not like they can go to anyone because teachers can't help, the police can't really do anything because the justice system sucks and they have to continue to go to school everyday. They can't move to a new neighborhood because they grew up into poverty.

And once you're forced to join a gang, you can' t get out because either you get killed by your gang or a rival gang kills you. They don't forget your face. So you pretty much have to stay for protection. It's easy to say people have a choice in what they do when you're not in their situation.

A lot of times people are racist because they grew up and were taught to be that way all of their life. Sometimes things play out where people do have a choice but the majority of the time there is none.

Did these 'black men' wander around with AK-47s in the 70s?

No, shotguns and handguns mostly

Black Panthers chapters moved heroin, was that a conspiracy too?

My dad got a death threat from the panthers for running a catholic youth center in south central los angeles without permission. They weren't the soul of the black community done wrong by whitey.

Yes, that's how it happened. The way that it worked (or according to the research that I've done) is the black panther party started up in the 60's. They were a group of black guys who were tired of the oppression. They learned the law books down to every sentence and sought out to educate other blacks who were denied education and other civil rights. They wore black leather jackets and hats as their trademark and carried firearms with them whenever they marched for protection. This was because the police were assaulting blacks for absolutely no reason. This showing of power and legal rights inspired other blacks and the ranks of the black panther party grew and grew. This was at the time that Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon (Mr. Watergate) were in power and arguably they were of the most racist and corrupt presidents we've had.

The police, fbi and others became irate that legally there was nothing they could do about these blacks becoming more involved in politics and fighting for their rights so they figured out a way to bring them down the best way they could. They destroyed them from the inside. Not every black person was happy about the black panthers. See, some of them preferred to drink liquor and pimp women and do all of these illegal things. So the government (or corrupt people in it) reached out to these pathetic excuses for black men and set them up with drugs and weapons to deal throughout the community. These guys infiltrated the ranks of the black panthers and planted the drugs in the cars of high ranking members of the black panthers. They also planted dirty firearms on on them and set them up in other ways.

As far as aids go? Well I don't really know about that. There are theories but I have no idea what the truth is with that, but I have direct connections with the cocaine, crack, firearms and black panther situation so I know the truth about that.

The government also had dr. martin luther king killed and malcolm x. Basically anyone who carried a positive and motivating voice in the black community was targeted by the government and it won't change. President Obama's influence on the people of America is strong and it's only a matter of time before someone gets offered money or power to destroy his life or image.

That's the world we live in. And it's the world that still affects me and my family.

Weapons and a vide variety of drugs are available in my community. But nobody shoots anyone. Rarely is a kid dumb enough to do anything more than drink a few beers and smoke a few joints. It must sound so enlightening to hear yourself talk about the US government providing drugs, weapons, and HIV infected prostitutes to poor blacks as a part of their organized master plan. But these things are available to everyone in and around these areas. They PAY for them. Who buys weapons and uses them in crimes is not determined by government weapons giveaways. If you have any evidence of these do provide it. Who contracts HIV is not determined by government [HIV+]whore giveaways. If you have any evidence of these do provide it. Who is addicted to crack, heroin or anything else is not determined by government drug giveaways. If you have any evidence of these do provide it.

It's a solid story. It presumes so many facts with 0 evidence that that's all it is.

Nobody is making anyone buy a weapon and become a murderer. Nobody is making anyone purchase crack and become a crackhead. Nobody is making anyone have sex with random whores and get AIDS. Tell whatever stories you want; the problem is not the availability of guns, drugs, or STDs. These things are all available in any area despite the best and most expensive efforts a government can take to stop them. To propose that a nanny government is needed to save poor blacks from guns, drugs, and STDs is insulting. It's insulting because it perpetually portrays them as victims of their inferiority. It's additionally insulting to their intelligence because it proposes to "solve" a problem which is supposedly cause BY the presense of guns, drugs, and STDs with measures which do not remove guns, drugs, or STDs from any community. The solution does not match the problem, and the problem has been misidentified to begin with.

The availability of guns, drugs, and STDs do not lead to the problems discussed here (many here attributing the availability of these things to direct government action aimed at oppression of poor blacks). These things are available to virtually all communities, despite any and all government restrictions and bans. If any community has irregularly large problems with these things it is not a result of availability. If the price of a firearm or drug dropped in price to 50% or 25% because Uncle Sam wanted to oppress most communities I've ever known or been a part of, the impact would be minimal if there was any impact at all. The price of a gun is nothing near the difference between a decent person and one who will mug/rob/murder. The price of a drug is far less than the difference between a relatively functional, healthy human being and one who smokes crack like its their job and steals and robs to support their habbit.

Regardless of the claim of government responsibility for the availability of all of these things in certain communities (would love all the evidence we can find), to claim that availability is the absolute/real/most significant source of the problem is just fallacious reasoning. I'll be blunt; it's a lie.

You're talking about now. We're talking about decades ago. These are two completely different things. These things came about when segregation was still going on. When Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., The black panther party and other civil rights activists were improving things.

Why did it get into the communites? Simple, for control. This has happened all throughout history. You don't really need to know about it because it doesn't affect you. Police officers were the original people dealing the drugs out in these communities and they still are. You're saying that it's ridiculous to believe that drugs and guns were fed into poor black communities when we're talking about the same government that was making it legal for them to not go to school, vote, work. This is a time when crosses were burning in their yards, people were (and still are) being hung on trees, attached to cars and dragged through the roads, beaten by police for just being black, etc. etc.

In 1932 the government used 412 blacks as guinea pigs for a syphillis experiment. They told these 412 infected people that they were going to give them a new cure but in truth, they were actually just testing them to see how they responded compared to whites. http://www.tuskegee.edu/Global/Story.asp?s=1207586

But as I've said a million times and will continue to do so, it's really very difficult for anyone to relate to and understand the difficulties of a group, class, gender, etc. without having being apart of it or studying a good deal of it. For anyone who thinks it's bs and excuse, that's perfectly fine. It's not your history and not your concern. You're not really apart of what's going on and you can't possibly understand what it feels like



Also, the government isn't going to just lay proof of itself spreading cocaine and aids into the black community. I mean...seriously. The only people who know what happened with it are the people who created it. Since none of them are speaking on it, you can believe what you wanna believe. Nobody can prove or disprove it either way.

Baloney.  Why arent' you on crack then?

Why can't everybody else do what you do?

It's still handguns and shotguns btw, AKs are a comparative rarity

The victims of inner city crime are not the poor fricking Crips who shoot kids as part of their initiation, it's the kids being shot

and RIGHT NOW, 2009 black men in LA are more likely to be killed by illegal immigrant drug dealers on orders from imprisoned Mexican mafioso who decree 1 black man SOMEWHERE be killed for every dead mexican drug dealer....and then Mexicans die randomly on the same principle. Only taht shit is too hot for LA county and city authorities to handle

1. I'm not on crack because I wasn't born when it first hit the streets. My father was and as a result he's dead. Crack hit the streets in 80's. I was born 85. Fortunately I've been educated on drugs but of course when it first hit the united states streets it wasn't a known thing. The real question is why weren't the occupants of the hamptons, beverly hills, etc. on crack.

2. AK 47's are all over the streets her in florida. They say that gang violence has risen 62% here. 1 out of every 5 gang members is carrying an AK-47. I was actually the vice president of a teen political group trying to fight gang violence and raise awareness of these issues.

3. These kids killing kids are crips. Crips and Bloods are still running the streets. Among other gangs. Right now in Florida we have 1,500 gangs and I think they said 500k gang members? This was in the paper the other day.

But as I've said before. Nobody can really understand what goes on with certain things, groups, cultures, etc. unless you're actually apart of it.

stop glorifying gangsters and letting 3 year old girls Krump.

and maybe they wont be pregnant by 13 and have time to raise proper children at a proper age.

basically you behave based upon how you were brought up and raised.

i would never do crack nor would i shoot some 1 with an AK, but that being said my mother wasn't a 13 year old pro krumer so take from that what you will.

good day.

lol That actually is a pretty inaccurate and ignorant comment. There's nothing to take from it =p

People in poor neighborhoods didn't build AK 47's out of table spoons and house hold products. Yes, anybody can get their hands on one, but where does it come from? How do high school teenagers in colorado get their hands on C4's? How many supplies do you have in your house to mix together anthrax?

How do you even know how to put an AK 47 together let alone to use it if they aren't teaching it in school? I mean, rather than open your eyes, you choose to blame the original victims.

Things are different now of course, people are more educated on things and have the choices to make. But yes, the government did poor crack cocaine into the poor black communities. It's a great form of oppression. This is something that has happened all throughout history with different countries and cultures. There have even been former CIA agents who have confessed to knowing about this. I mean....does nobody else bother to read? =/

You were asked what Obama would do and you replied that all he can do is set an example, Chamelio Salamander. I questioned if that is all a President is supposed to do. I questioned the kind of example he sets, giving examples of his behavior that I do not believe set a good example for anyone.

I'm sorry that I'm not remotely intelligent. Maybe if I just said everything that has content was a mindless rant and not remotely intelligent I'd be a brighter person. That doesn't answer the question of whether Obama is supposed to do more than set an example as President of the USA or calm my questions about his morally objectionable actions (which people who are good examples tend not to have loads of), but I guess I just don't operate on this elite level that you do.

No, I was asked what obama would do for me that I couldn't do for myself. Which is nothing. But what he's accomplished so far is symbolic and inspirational to anyone who thought that their are barriers holding them back from what they would like to accomplish. Obama nor any other president can do anything. The power belongs to the people. We elect who goes into congress, whom our judges are, our district attorneys, our mayors. This is also why you can't really blame bush for anything he's done. This is the work of the people who put him in office and the people we voted in congress that supported him.



And I didn't say you weren't intelligent, I'm saying that post wasn't =p

It was full of allegations without support, just media propaganda. Although I suppose I see your point a bit more clearly now. In any case, I don't really care much for anything that Obama says he will do. He doesn't have the power to change anything. He may be the president, but everyone knows that he only assumes the blame for anything that goes wrong or right. There are a lot more fingers pulling the strings of the bills that get passed.

It's the same with IC, Stefan is held responsible for all that is wrong with the game but in reality its the poor community that makes this game suck.

Well, I wouldn't say the younger generation is eating better, it's just that we're able to get more exercise. Think about it, the typical college student spends a good portion of their college life walking walking walking. That and the fact that the metabolism hasn't slowed down yet as you mentioned helps to keep weight in check. A lot more younger people are involved in sports and some are just really concerned about their looks so they try to exercise.

The typical 30-40 year old doesn't get much cardio and probably eats on the run. That combined with the soaring costs of healthier foods kinda makes it hard for them to stay in shape.
