Black Americans are the only demographic that massively voted against the pedonald. They are responsible of almost everything americans takes pride in. In music, they invented blues, rock, jazz, techo, hip-hop and much more. In sports, they are the top athletes in many disciplines. In politics, you may not be a fan of Obama's politics overall, but he was by far the least crazy president USA had over the past 40 years. All of this while being treated as sub-citizens.

Bro, the US was quite literally built on the backs of black people.
Country music too! Almost all bluegrass traces back to Mississippi John Hurt
For techno, who you must be referring to is "The Belleville Three"; but they actually got their inspiration from a German band called "Kraftwerk" that was making techno music.

When the Black Panthers started protecting citizens in California back in the 60s and 70s, the Republicans all of a sudden got really on-board with gun restrictions. Funny how that works.
Gun control for thee, not for me
that is genuinely how gun control works here. our government makes sure white terrorists have as many guns as they want, but that the people they are terrorizing don't have the means to protect themselves
You want to correct the ideology of the pig.
If you’re gonna arm yourself illegally get something bigger than theirs
I love all of this.
He said if you are going to legally arm yourself. I can get where you heard otherwise, though.
Yeah it was sped up apparently
Honestly I don't care how someone arms themselves. Legally or otherwise.

Ohhh yeah, now this is the radical leftist I want to see.
I'm not American, but as an outsider this is what I feel the second amendment was really for ✊
It literally specifies in our constitution that we have the second amendment to protect ourselves from our own tyrannical government. This type of thing is exactly what it's for.
The Declaration Of Independence has entered the chat.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

They will come for their leadership just like they did in the 60's. I hope they are prepared.
