(17,276 posts)Seems to be a death sentence. I won't have anything to do with guns anyway, but if I were black or Hispanic, I'd be terrified to be seen in public with one. If you are holding a gun, they want to kill you.

(18,124 posts)versus who, in 99.9% of all legal open carry shooting by agents sanctioned by the state to murder and kill, don't worry most people because they are of the right skin color status in this society. But you said it, legal open carry AA and Hispanics are still at tremendous risk of dying because of the double standards that have always been a part of american culture since the first slave walked off the plantation a free man or woman.
