So what is their argument? That "people of color" (not to be confused with the offensive term "colored people" that the NAACP keeps in its title much as Georgia kept the Confederate flag in its state flag. No, that's different somehow!) cannot be trusted with guns, and it is the gunmaker's fault? Should GM be sued if a "person of color" (hereafter, POC) has a car accident when running a light? Will any POCs working for the gunmakers be exempted from prosecution? What about non-POCs that have had

Kweisi make me queasy. Tell him to get a real job. Race baiting, reparation loving, poverty pimps are so passe nowadays. As this case demonstrates, he is just making a fool out of himself for quick money, and taking the NAACP down with him.

Perhaps the distributors should get their FFL dealers to sign an agreement not to sell firearms to blacks.

I was wondering as well, after hearing a blurb about this this morning on FNC. It sounded like NAACP was suing gun makers for unfairly marketing guns to blacks (I use "blacks" because Larry Elder deems it much less offensive a term than COLORED, or African-American, when many [think Colin Powell], are not from Africa).

How exactly ARE guns marketed seeing I've never seen a commercial, billboard, heard a radio ad for them? Besides lots of hip-hop action movies where every black has a gun? And lots of whites too in those same movies. Is he basically saying, then, that blacks aren't smart enough to know not to shoot each other? Kind of like the standardized test complaints? I don't understand the basis at all for this suit. The crux is the suit names "criminals" several times, so is this the NAACP's only outlet in addressing that their community commits a higher percentage of violent crimes than other races? Even though they are a minority in the population?
