If I remember my history right, southern states in the post Civil War South issuing so-called black codes was what led to the 14th Amendment, and the worst of those "black codes" were intended to disarm the former slaves so they could more easily be victimized by the KKK. The Klan was filled with Democrats, and the new Republican Party wanted to end the oppression of the former slaves. It's been awhile since I read about this so I might have some details wrong, but I think that's essentially how it went down.
Those who seek to disarm civilians are no friend of the black man. And neither are those who condemn the police who put their own lives on the line to defend black people. I sometimes wonder if the old KKK just decided to switch strategies, and put away their white robes and replace them with business suits, and became the leadership of the liberal cult, because that group has done more damage to the black community than the old Klan ever did, including breaking up the black family, leading them to become dependent on government, and leading them to kill each other, in greater numbers than the Klan could have accomplished. Obviously I don't really think that's how it went, but I do think Ernie Chambers and his ilk are the most insidious enemy the black man has ever had. And his insistence on hating police and disarming civilians is a big part of that.
I think it's worth pointing out that most if not all liberal leaders, including Obama, seem to share Ernie's feelings on these things; the only difference is that Ernie is stupid enough to be obvious about it. Most liberal bigots try to hide them, so you only know them by their fruits, as the Bible tells us; good ol' Ernie just blurts it out for all to hear. If it wasn't for the liars of the liberal press covering for him, he would have been out a long time ago.
