I know in recent years I’ve seen some minorities in armed protests, though it is usually while mixed in or with whites. I don’t know how prevalent it has been since the civil right era with the Black Panthers and the like.
But yes, I acknowledge that authority gets all “crack-downy” when it is armed minorities in the past.
But that right SHOULD be afforded by all. Though they tend to be crucified in the media and public opinion when it happens, and labeled as thugs or what have you. It’s bullshit, but illustrates the systemic racism issues.
My overarching point though is that armed protest changes “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” to “fuck you, you can’t make me”.
