Summary
White supremacist Avi Rachlin used racist slurs during a Michigan Senate committee hearing, claiming proposed gun legislation unfairly targets white people while suggesting lawmakers focus on Black communities in Detroit.
Representing the extremist group “Groypers for America,” Rachlin falsely argued the bill was retaliation against white Trump supporters.
His comments, including the use of the N-word, were condemned by lawmakers, with Sen. Jim Runestad calling the remarks inappropriate.
The committee ultimately advanced the bill, which would expand the ban on firearms in Michigan’s Capitol, initially requested after armed protests in 2020.
Ever heard of the black panthers? The state only allows this kind of thing for pale people.
It wasn’t just that they had guns. It’s that they stood there armed, watching people get arrested, and started reading rights. It’s not enough to have guns, you need to use those guns as an implicit threat while brazenly not only following the law, demanding the cops do so as well
Republicans tripped over each other to enact gun control when they saw organized and arm black people excersiding their right to bare arms.
It feels like 70% of US laws and agencies were motivated by racism and oppression of minorities.
Like all other Western countries the US were built on genocide and slavery, I wouldn’t be too keen on arming the oppressed either
Not excusing it, but very few countries didn’t have slavery in their history at one point or another.
It’s just some never stopped, like the US.
