Teaching your children hate!-----No, the Second Amendment wasn’t about racism

No, the Second Amendment wasn’t about racism

• A new book tortures the historical record

"...in an interview with Slate, Carol Anderson, the Charles Howard Candler professor at Emory University as well as the chair of the school’s African American Studies department.

She has written a new book titled “The Second,” which argues that the whole purpose of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution was to keep the African slaves and their descendants down.

• It wasn’t about the right of citizens to “keep and bear arms,” as the text of the amendment clearly states.
  
• Nor was it about guaranteeing the right of rebellion against an unjust authority, a right that the Declaration of Independence had clearly claimed on behalf of Britain’s North American colonies.
• Nor was it about assuring the states that the federal government would not be so overweening as to stop them from organizing men to defend against threats from Indians and European powers on much of what was still contested, frontier territory.

Nope, it was all about racism and oppression...Read all.
