“Depends on what color your skin was.”

The 1950s still were not so bad. While my wife was a little girl in the Soviet Union she would cry about how badly Blacks were treated in the United States. But Blacks had more civile rights in the Jim Crow South than Soviet high Communist Party members had.

Blacks in the 1950 South were free to...

1. Leave the South to seek opportunity elsewhere (many did)
2. Own their own homes and land with low property taxes (many did)
3. Own guns to protect their lives and property (many did)
4. Attend Southern medical schools for Blacks (many did and the first Black female had already been accepted to the University of Arkansas Medical School)
5. Attend any of a great number of colleges (many did)
6. Vote in multi-party elections (many did)

Take your skin color comments back to Russia.

Native Texan, not Russian, so try again.

No FR "discussion" is complete without a Luv-it-or-leave-it flip-off, eh?

Nope. The original purpose of gun control was to disarm blacks. You know what a bitch it is to clean blood out of white sheets.
