MSNBC ‘anti-racist educator’ says 2nd Amendment came from Founders ‘afraid of Black people’

gun sales in us rise coronavirus

Self-proclaimed ‘anti-racist educator’ Tim Wise argued on MSNBC that America “loves its guns more than it loves its children” during a segment discussing to horrific Uvalde, Texas elementary school massacre.

Wise also said gun ownership has deep roots in racism, stating our Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights not for protection against government tyranny but to stop slave rebellion.

“Let’s be very clear, the historical precedent for that, the reason that we’re so obsessed with guns and personal gun ownership going back to the Second Amendment is because the Founders were so afraid that Black people were going to rebel against enslavement, that indigenous people would rebel against being pushed off their land and killed and removed that we wanted to make sure that White men could have all the guns that they could possibly possess in order to put down the rebellions of the dangerous racial violence,” said Wise.

He added, “So the irony is we now have a dangerous country for everybody’s babies. White babies, Black babies, brown babies, everybody’s babies because White men a couple hundred years ago decided we needed to have all the weapons we could possibly have and enshrine that in the Constitution to defend against those people, and the irony now is that White folks, White children, White families just as endangered.”

“This country loves the ability of an 18-year-old, the day they turn 18, to go buy a weapon of war than they appreciate the right of a 10-year-old to become 11 or 12 or 13 or 18 so let’s be very clear. The difference between Canada and the United States, Australia and the United States, New Zealand and the United States, every industrialized nation in the world versus us is that we fetishize weapons,” Wise said.

“We’re a less safe nation for everybody’s babies because of this obsession, and this obsession goes back hundreds of years, so we need to understand the connection between past and present and realize that we’re a sick and broken culture. We are not the greatest nation on earth any longer if we ever were. We’re a nation committed to an ideology of death and if we want to stop that and save our children, we’re going to make a change,” Wise concluded.

Another guest on MSNBC’s “ReidOut”  accused the GOP of sacrificing children to “the god of gun ownership.”

    There is no evidence for this opinion. How does he explain the fact that the majority of shooting of blacks is committed by other blacks, not by whites?

    Right. ‘Whatever It Takes’ to get guns out of the hands of so many Americans so that the NWO crowd can take over the country with so much less fuss, and we can live in their global gulag like the nice little serfs that they want us to be. I can hardly wait. Not.

    Second Amendment does not mention hunting, burglar or color of skin. This guy is lying to whoever reads his trash or listens to him. And JB, there’s noting in it that prohibits cannons, either.

    I don’t recall any mention of slaves in the Federalist Papers discussion of the Second Amendment. Tim Wise is laughable; the founders had no fear of blacks, being well-armed against anyone rebelling against the colonists.

    Well Tim, I bet you’re on board with the rest of the hypocrites er uhhh Demoncrats regarding Roe v Wade, Infanticide and the “choice of the mother” to murder her child in the womb. Tell me I’m wrong! And you twist and distort the founding fathers reason for the second amendment to further your agenda? Really? What a doofus!

    This is nutcase rhetoric.
    The Bill of Rights throughout is about We The People, protecting us from Big Gov’t trying to overreach their authority and controlling the American people thru tyranny. This person is just continuing the narrative that everything is about the “Poor Abused Blacks”, which has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, which was written and included in the Bill of Rights in 1789.
    The population of black slaves in the United States, which became a new Nation in 1776, just 13 yrs prior to the establishment of the 2nd Amendment, was probably several hundred. At zero time in US history do I think that the American people have been afraid of any particular ethnic group trying to overpower the American Gov’t. In WWII the Americans that were German descendants and Japanese descendants were treated different because of the war.

BREAKING: Disney drops suit challenging special district status in settlement with Florida, DeSantis

A settlement was reached Wednesday in the two-year lawsuit over who controls the special governing district that encompasses the Walt Disney World Resort, which includes Disney dropping its lawsuitsagainst a newly created tourism board.

“We are glad that Disney has dropped its lawsuits against the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and conceded that their last-minute development agreements are null, void, and unenforceable,” Bryan Griffin, DeSantis’ communications director, said in a statement. “No corporation should be its own government. Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.”

Fox News explains the dispute began “after Disney’s criticism of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act – derided by critics as the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill – prompted the DeSantis administration to revoke the special Disney-controlled tax district that gave the entertainment autonomy over its theme parks in the region.”

“No corporation should be its own government,” Bryan Griffin, a spokesman for the governor, said in an emailed statement. “Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.”

Misleadingly deemed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, prohibited the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to young students in the state. National Review reports:

After receiving pressure from employees, Disney’s then-CEO, Bob Chapek, said that the company’s leaders had been opposed to the bill “from the outset,” and Disney declared that the legislation “should never have passed and should never have been signed into law.”

In February 2023, DeSantis signed House Bill 9B, which established the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District to replace Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. Reedy Creek was a 56-year-old special taxing district that allowed Disney control its own development, regulations, building codes, and other municipal services.

Lawmakers voted to give the governor the power to appoint the district’s board members.

However, before a DeSantis-appointed board took over last March, the Disney-controlled board handed control of the district’s development over to Disney…

As part of the settlement, Disney acknowledges that the development agreement approved by the outgoing Reedy Creek board has “no legal effect or enforceability.”

As for the media reports that DeSantis had been humiliated and out-maneuvered by Disney, Griffin said that “as usual, the media were wrong.”
