Black is Black in America.

If I had my way - as a group host - this would be name the Black American Group.

Full Stop - It is a RACE and a CULTURE. It is an EXPERIENCE. He might very well have taken Financial Aid or a placement from the Descendants of Jim Crow and the Enslaved.

Is that fair? Nope.

Will be addressing in another post.

OP - I've removed the poster from this Group. I won't tolerate bullshit 'semantics' from folks who are not aware of this Massive Shift in Black American Consciousness. The same ones who don't understand why we are the FASTEST growing group of Gun Owners in America, and the overwhelming increase in Black Gun Clubs across the USA.
