The answer to these questions is simple, of course: Both John Crawford and Michael Brown were black.
We know the Tea Party isn't afraid to
"patrol" dangerous areas. We know the NRA has money. One would think that the two groups would join forces and drive out to Ferguson with a few trucks full of guns, street soldiers, and good cheer. They could ensure that liberty was being maintained. This would be a great PR move - they could finally prove that when it's time to make a stand, they're willing to do it.
That is, if they cared about minorities, at all.
But the
Tea Party, the
NRA, and their ilk have been almost completely silent on the issue. Their sites instead are sending out the usual reports on illegal immigration and (white) citizens' rights to carry assault rifles in public. The Libertarians had nothing to say
until August 14.
So, perhaps we should now be allowed to say out loud what we've known all along: That these organisations are not interested in liberty, but instead are focused on white supremacy at all costs. Perhaps in lieu of material support or a statement of solidarity, we can ask them to simply admit that they are uninterested in black and brown people.
