He also sustained himself by collecting and eating berries, he said.
Wow, that’s so smart; sustaining himself by eating food.

So basically it became a stereotype because black people knew how to have a good time and throw a party with lots of guests and delicious food?
They would take some elements of black culture, like (…) saying they love fried chicken and watermelon
How did this become a stereotype? Doesn’t everyone love fried chicken and watermelon regardless of skin color? They are both delicious.
No it doesn’t. All it will do is get them into an even shittier situation.
Take for example debt bondage in India. Give a person in debt bondage a gun, what should they do with it, according to you?
It’s true though.
There are many forms of modern day slavery and the vast majority is not due to an inability of the enslaved people to exert violence onto their slavers.
That’s an extremely simplistic view of a very complicated problem.
Then what are you trying to say? I’m still not seeing how you bringing up slavery is at all relevant to the discussion.
You seriously think that the cause of modern day slavery is lack of guns?
Maybe you should call the UN and let them know you figured out the solution to the slavery problem.
Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.
It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.

So enlighten me.
How many people do you need to kill in self defence, in an average week?
What is it with Americans that they seem so be so afraid all the time. You see danger everywhere. Life now is safer than it has ever been in the history of humanity.
It has nothing to do with circumstances, it’s plain statistics. Look up the numbers.
Nice theory, but owning a gun makes you less safe, not more. You are way more likely to be hurt by your own gun than successfully using it to defend yourself.
Guns are for weak people who want to feel powerful.
the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants
And yet, it’s the would-be tyrants who are armed to the teeth.
You already have a cryptographically secure government id: your passport.
I still think housing is a human right.
I’ll bet he doesn’t
