As long as African people act surprised when things like this happen, we will remain stagnant. We protest a system ran by people who innately despise us and without understanding our need to saturate necessary posts in society, we will always remain a stagnant dependent people. I had a conversation with a young energy filled so-called revolutionary, who was full of dangerous emotions and he said he was ready for war with this "devil." My reply was, "young brother after you run out of your initial ammunition that you may have on hand, where will you get more supplies?" Where will you buy heavier weaponry? He had puzzled look needless to say. African family the one thing that I found profound about this video is not the reaction from the foe, but the fact that we are still amazed that our enemy does not feel obligated to help you protect yourself and that we still go to the foe for our necessities. At some point the Negro in America is going to have to accept the fact that to the Euro you are still the negro in America. You negate this by investing in pertinent African economical infrastructure. Not the latest sneakers or carrying bag, or skinny jeans or your depreciating European automobile. Agriculture, security, culture, African education, international trade relations with African countries, etc. Forgive me for speaking candidly, but, we look really foolish asking a system that we are underrepresented in, excluded from and stereotypically persuaded to distance ourselves from, for solutions that we already know will not be given. We either begin to do for self as an African collective or continue to reap what we sow. JusT the reality, nothing complex about it, what is complex is the level of ignorance that African people must fight through in order to realize the matrix that they live in. Teach children culture, economics, math, and science, technology, and engineering, before you let them learn lyrics by Young thug, Beyoncé, Nikki Manaj, and any other agent that perpetuates stagnation and European superiority over your African mind. STOP BEING NIGGAS AND BECOME AKELBULANIANS (AFRICANS)!
this is the exact reason why you shouldn't wait until you need a gun to purchase one. She says that she needs this firearm to protect herself during the riots that are projected to occur, but how in the world is she going to become proficient with using a firearm in two days? Not to mention the fact that her dealer won't sell it to her in the first place.
I have been saying this same thing for years and all i get for the most part is the sound of crickets. I agree with yoour post 200% and am going to repost it.
Wtf? This guy should lose his license…..and be opened to legal proceedings. I'm so tired of idiocy like this, we can't tolerate anyone justifying hate, regardless of what they look like…. He not only broke civil rights laws, he also violated her second amendment rights and needs to be held accountable…… Now.
I agree with alot of what you said…but even with that you still have to spit on the white man…how long does the white race have to be blamed for all the black peoples struggles. I remember the struggles the black people faced in the 60s. That was over 50 yrs ago. When is enough enough…right now many are fed up with the actions in Ferguson. The verdict has been announced…the correct verdict…now the terrorists will tear up a city for the wrong reasons…this craziness has to stop…
did he say that he was only denying black people guns or was he denying everybody guns, so how is this man a racist? Sounds like the racist here are most of the ones commenting on this video that clearly shows a man trying to protect his family, home, and store. Grow up people and quit trying to Jesse Jackson everything… who happens to be the king of the African hate tribe!
Is there also a video of a White Person going in there trying to get their gun? That is the ONLY way you can say this guy is a racist. If you have a separate video of a White Person trying to get their gun and he gives it to them and not this woman. Without that second video, I do not see any evidence of racist actions, just as the Grand Jury didn't see any evidence of criminal actions on behalf of Darren Wilson.
The death of Michael Brown can only be described as a senseless tragedy. The thing is,the headline of this article is very misleading. The gun shop owner is clearly not selling her a gun because he can't. He explains that the government has told them to remove their guns because of the inevitable looting that happens after an explosive situation comes to a head.I am so sick of reading misleading headlines.I continued reading and realize that that this site is propagating hatred.You should be ashamed.YOU are part of the problem.
Too many white people are such lying hypocrites! The sell of guns were sold to white people though, I'm sure! From the beginning they were not going to prosecute this cop! Why is anybody surprised! If they didn't convict George Zimmerman, and he is not a cop, for killing and unarmed Trayvon Martin, come on now, did you really think?
Cecil Max-George Thank you both. yes I want this to be about STEM, GPA, SAT BS BA MA MS MEd PhD MD JD – we need every AA church to start Saturday STEM schools. We need preachers to start talking about education from the PULPIT. We need AA churches to start AA child development emancipation programs for AA parents. We need the AA community to talk education 24/7. We need to show our children we are all about education not just in talk but in deed as well – in barber shops and beauty salons – entertainers especially rappers to rap education – make education of our children every AA person's business.
Edward Wesson Fine we are Israelis of color. And we need to handle our business and talk education 24/7. How are you doing in school? How ydid do on that math quiz or spelling or history test. Put away the video games and turn off the TV as the President has said numerous times. Don't let the media manipulate you with their idiot box.
You don't know what you're talking about. That guy wasn't a cop, he was a store owner. And as a result of him owning the store, he can lawfully refuse service to anyone he chooses for any reason he chooses. How did he violate her civil rights? How did he violate her 2A rights? He didn't tell her she couldn't own a gun, he didn't even tell her he wouldn't sell her a gun. He only told her he wasn't selling any guns because they were removed from the store due to the riots and she could either have a full refund or wait until the riots were over.
Big deal….Everyone is racist….I don't see any difference between Blacks and Whites on a personal basis…..Maybe in the South the Whites are more racist, but in NYC where I live I don't see a difference between Blacks and Whites….As for the Slavery thing that always comes up….Most "White groups" didn't immigrate to the US until after 1865 (when Slavery was abolished in the US) and I know for a fact that Italians didn't immigrate until 1880-1930 aka well after the Slave period was over in the US….the Slave Owners (like the founding fathers) in the US were British White guys….Why do you think most Black Americans have British last names? But you never see a Black American with an Italian or Greek or Russian last name….Hint hint it's not hard….
STFU!!!! No one said anything about sell out Tom Jesse Jackson! Again, STFU!!! You're probably one of those hood wearing KKK who cheers on your white brethren murdering cops!
Okay so the store owner is taking precautions in accordance to warnings from law enforcement, and offered to give the woman a refund. What's the problem?
Too many people either fail to get the facts themselves or are too ignorant to understand the facts when they are right in front of them. George Zimmerman wasn't convicted because ALL of the evidence proved that Treyvon Martin assaulted Zimmerman and was beating the crap out of him, forcing Zimmerman to use deadly force to defend himself. Yea, I watched the trial. Apparently you and millions of others didn't. And apparently all the evidence in this case proves Brown was also the aggressor. I have news for people like you. When YOU assault someone, it is YOUR fault when they defend themselves and shoot you dead. Get a clue.
I think you are missing the point and it may be because of the SENSATIONAL title of the article. The guy to whom she is speaking to is very civil, kind in his explanation, and (from what you can hear) telling her exactly what he knows. I don't know if anyone told you personally that they thought the store clerk was being racist, but most people can see (hear) that he is not racist. You're building an argument on things that do not compare when you compare it to the Grand Jury's verdict. The point of this is the Ferguson police put out this ordinance before the verdict in preparation for riots. This eliminates the possibility of a person being able to own a gun to personally PROTECT themselves during a predicted PROTEST/RIOT. Not only does it hurt the individual who is seeking a means of protection, but also it hurts the businesses and pawn shops who have to cut deals and do extra discounts! Whether you "side" with Darren Wilson and the Ferguson county police on the issue of the shooting of Mike Brown or the community of people who thought the shooting was wrong you have to see the INJUSTICE in this. Separate yourself from your own convenience and think more empathetically. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARGUE FOR AND ARGUE AGAINST!
Gregory Ellzey I see where both of you are coming from. He's talking about the title of the video. The video is entitled to show discrimination. His argument is that you should show both sides to prove the case. That's all I don't think he's being racist. Before you think I'm siding with anyone, I don't agree with the outcome of the case. Hence me blacking out my profile.
AND don't get me wrong, I understand that this was a precaution to prevent people from buying a gun and then using it against the police or other people during protest and riots in an unlawful manner. BUT the likelihood of someone buying a gun for their own honest personal protection, the protection of their property, and the protection of their loved ones DURING a riot is the SAME.
Gregory Ellzey I agree but their is usually a cool off period sometimes for buying a gun. This is to avoid a deadly outcome based on emotions. RIP Mike Brown. If the cop intentionally killed him he will have to answer to God
I NEVER said anyone was being racist. I myself don't care about your race. I do think Anthony is using a logical fallacy to build his a SENSATIONAL argument because he immediately compared it to the actual GRAND JURY verdict. I understand perfectly well what he is trying to say about doing another video where a caucasian tries to buy a gun, but to me that still wouldn't EQUAL the same thing. She specifically said this was a FERGUSON city wide ban from selling guns. This limits peoples Second Amendment Rights in a time when their right should be very practice-able. All while allowing the FERGUSON police, people who already owned guns legally, and people who illegally own guns to carry.
Couldn't agree more. It's a sensational title. The video is not misleading though. We have to be careful what we read and what we consider to be CREDIBLE NEWS. There's more "shock value" if they can convince you someone is doing something racist on camera. It helps Atlanta Black Star to sell ads! The only real news here is the actual video itself.
You just compared the cops being able to projecting a riot occurrence with her personally being able to predict a riot occurrence. She would have had to predict riots months in advance, better than the police, and then train in using her firearm all up until the Grand Jury Verdict!!! I see your point in saying "don't wait until you need it", but that does not prove that the actions of the Ferguson Police is not a limitation of her Second Amendment Right. This is against anyone who wants to own a gun during a "projected" NEAR FUTURE, violent "occurrence". This negates the possibility of anyone else like her, who may have wanted to be able to honestly and legally protect themselves, their families and their property, with a firearm, during a riot. It only allows the police, people who already own guns legally, and people who own guns illegally to be able to have a fire arm during a riot. Blatant Injustice!
Gregory Ellzey Gotta be careful when painting with broad strokes. Not all Ferguson law enforcement is bad, and that warning they put out in preparation for more riots is exactly what they should have done. If you're going to protest the cops using force for everything, you can't protest when they don't. They had a choice. Send out the warnings, or place military-style police and riot troops all around the city. Which would you rather?
Nkidani Regnier It would seem that the cool off period doesn't apply in this case. People are assuming that, if a white person did the same shopping that she did, the outcome would be different. Some are assuming the exact opposite! I'M saying that their is NO difference. We are enabling DIVISIVE, sectarian thought based around racist that would only favor the police in this situation. The Ferguson Police put out this ordinance all of a sudden and it would prevent anyone INCLUDING people who met the "cool off period" requirements from owning a firearm. There is the fact that you should 'buy something before you need it', but that maybe suggest that she would have had to be able to predict when a riot was going to happen and then compare that to a cool down period!!
Gregory Ellzey I said the title implied race and not you. I think the system is corrupt. We can't blame blacks, whites and cops alone. We have to blame the system and unfortunately its designed to help cops and mostly discriminates against blacks. They will justify using that "cool off Period' or whatever they wanna call it as a national security etc
Nkidani Regnier I AGREE. But the FERGUSON police are a big part of the "fault" in the system in this case, as they would directly be dealing with rioters and the actual verdict which involves a cop. It is the government that creates laws etc., but in this case the police can not ESCAPE blame. They know very well what they are doing! It would help save the lives of police if they are predicting people buying or stealing guns then using them against the police in riots. But it could just as well JEOPARDIZE the lives of civilians who honestly want perfectly legal firearm protection during a riot. I've watch the video a couple of times now and I'm pretty sure from what she is saying the "cool down period" would not apply. The trip part of this is she specifically said she works with LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Gregory Ellzey Wow. I didn't know that she was in law enforcement. Sad man. The system is set up to help cops and cops are to blame. The reason why I said the system because its cops, judicial, laws, etc, privilege that's what I meant. We have to get out and vote regardless of how little we think we do. We need to protest peacefully, etc. We need to stop making dumb artist like Bobby Smurda, etc famous. Time for us blacks to love ourselves and make a difference. We need to know that no one is the government is gonna listen to us if we don't demand it. Look at the civil rights movement etc. I don't have the answer but we as a nation need to wake up and move
Nkidani Regnier I agree! Bobby Smurda hurst our credibility!! She said she "works with enforcement" at 00:44, he talks over her a little. That does not mean that she IS law enforcement, but there is still IRONY in that. The people she is working with will be protected, but her, on the other hand…!
I just listened to the video again and there was nothing that I heard mentioned about nobody being able to buy a gun. What happened here, in this video, at this store, was all of the firearms were taken out of the store and loaded into a trailer, to be taken off-site. The reason for this action was they were supposedly told rioters and looters would be targeting firearms stores and pawn shops. The Title of this story implies the woman was unable to get a firearm due to the fact she was Black. I compared it to the Grand Jury Verdict because in this particular video, I heard no evidence of any racial discrimination, just as the Grand Jury heard or saw no evidence warranting criminal charges being brought against Darren Wilson. The incident of the shooting in Ferguson is it's own incident and has absolutely nothing to do with any other shooting. I think that's where a lot of people are missing the point. The Grand Jury in THIS case and THIS incident, found no evidence to suggest Darren Wilson did anything that warranted criminal charges against him. Let us remember Darren Wilson has rights as well as a Citizen of the United States. If there was evidence that showed Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown because he felt like shooting someone that day, I would be the first person in line calling for Criminal Charges to be brought against him. I would also make my decision on whether or not to call for Criminal Charges against someone based on the law and based on the fact one human being killed another human being in cold blood. Not because the shooter was White and the victim was Black.
Anthony Ferrara Jr You're avoiding the point of the video. You're telling me how you JUMPED to a conclusion when you read the title and then you are telling me again how you JUMPED to another conclusion when you tried to make sense of why you compared this video to the grand jury verdict in general. This proves that your argument is invalid! An argument more comparable to Stephen Hawking's limbs! You're trying to funnel everything into having to do with the verdict for something that already happened. A person who is already dead. We already know what may or may not have already happened. We know the verdict and we can FACE THAT TRUTH. This is deliberately avoiding the point of the video which is that she has reason to believe that her life maybe in danger because of the riots. She should have the right to be able to protect herself. Right NOW at this very moment peoples lives can be in danger in Ferguson because they are being denied their rights to have a firearm. This is the point! FACE THAT TRUTH. What is your counter to THIS SPECIFIC POINT?
I think we're basically saying the same thing here. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to predict when and where they would need a firearm to protect themselves and therefore should be proactive in arming themselves and training to use a firearm safely and correctly so when the time comes they will be prepared. I also believe that her rights are being trampled and the "locals" (we know what that means don't we?) are being discriminated against in regards to firearm sales BUT i believe that this woman and others like her are wrong for waiting until the crap hits the fan to buy an umbrella.
For clarification. I don't live in Ferguson MO, but she said at the end of this video that this is an ordinance being enforced throughout the city. She also said that she works with law enforcement so there is her credibility and understanding. So that means the entire community black or white cannot buy a gun at this time, until further notice.
So, this woman went into this store with her camera going.. Like manufacturing an incident of racial imbalance.. Except she is proving that she is the racist and NOT the store clerk..
What are you on about black people, the Jews hate your guts worse than the white people. Are you gone totally mad??? Only Hebrews are Israeli, and you're not the right colour, ethnicity, blood or religion… stick to what you really are and stop trying to get somebody else's culture, african cultures are vast and amazing. If you shed your own heritage yourselves how can you expect respect from oppressors?

Mark McMiller I know you must be white, for the mere fact of your name calling, "ignorant!" Your opinion is yours, and my opinion is mine! There is a real difference in the way most whites, process the FACTS/TRUTH, "just watch FOX NEWS," because of there continuous stereotypical thinking!! You have heard your fairy tails of how much greater of race you are than other races, and trust me I know it' hard for you not to look to prove your want to be "GOD" thought process! Your assumption thinking others don't know facts, your willingness to believe your so call facts is the right way, and no other way, just proves your screwed up thought process, obvious you see all people of of color as the problem, you have the inability to believe not one person of color might for one instance could be a victim. George Zimmerman, who obviously should have taken 911's advise and not followered Trayvon, Martin, if he was such a whimp, and allowed a young boy to beat him, he just should have allowed the cops to handle, the "which I don't believe Trayvon even would have survived them, because you people have the tendency to think every person of color is a "THUG," George should have simply stayed in his vehicle, he had already call authority, yet he chose not to do so! See you people want your cake and eat it too,Trayvon was defending himself from a stalker, and the cops yet again went to a store survallience recording looking for some wrong doing, only to see a young man pay for what he picked up in the store, not like the Michael Brown's situation, calling a theft, a "STRONG ARMED ROBBERY," just to engulf bias thinkers like you in RAGE, BTW, who Darren Wilson had now knowledge off: Yeah I watched the trial, I guess you watched the trial of the CRAZY white man who was convicted for shooting in the SUV, and killed an innocent young Black child, over music, and watched the trial of the man who shoot and innocent young Black woman, for knocking on his front door, I bet you believe they should not be convicted, because they are not guilty also! I have news for people like you, who think you can bully people on face book because you don't like someones opinion you are face book problem! It's funny when a Black person, is the victim or not you IDIOTS, think the worst! Lol, You think I need to get a clue, FYI, you don't have a CLUE, on your bias up bringing, that has made you think you and people like you are the only ones who count! I don't expect or even want anyone like you to know Black people love their families, no matter how you want to SPIN it, just like any other people on this GOD given earth! Charles Manson's mother loved him, I bet!!!!! Stop trying to make other people the problem and do a little soul searching for you!!!!
This brutha just dropped some serious talk and the best you can do is focus on your religious doctrine??? Smdh! I hear in lies the problem, they killin our ass irrespective of what you believe or claim you are. So out of all that this brutha said, what's the significance or what difference does it make whether someone calls you an Israelite or an African? I mean really, how dynamic or circumstance does that change about this shit going on? You think if the racist cop knew he claimed Israelite it would have somehow changed the circumstances? Ya'll really need to wake up and release yourselves from this dogmatic thinking because it sounds really ridiculous in the context of what we are collectively dealing with. It's nothing more than divisiveness and it's useless right about now. I'm Afrikan, btw, and quoting a book that's proven by countless scholars to be nothing more than myths and allegories ain't proving anything.
Dexter Nelson So you are saying disenfranchise the second amendment rights of everyone who wants to have protects because of the prediction that people will unlawfully use weapons against the police. This is what you are agreeing with. I think the police painted in broad strokes on this one. Their is people who legitimately wanted firearms legally for their protection and the protection of their families during this time of violent turmoil. Your argument is they don't deserve it because of the people who knowingly and willingly break laws. This goes against everything the Second Amendment stands for! When it's convenient people try to SUPPORT and STAND for their rights, but when things get shaky we will willingly give up those rights and find any EXCUSE as to why we did. She's said she works with law enforcement so the likelihood of here being in harms way, in the next couple of days is higher in her personal case. This is blatant injustice.
Michael Jones LOL, mate, I'm not black. I'm not Latino or Jewish either. I'm white, and I'm telling you this, so long as you're sheep and slaves to the white gods, you'll always be slaves to the white people. End of story. Christianity and muslims and hebrew gods and all that shit, wanna be slaves to the "chosen race" of a racist god? Yeah? Then don't go blaming the white people for treating you like shit, cause you bring it on to yourselves. There's no love lost in any of them for you. They hate themselves, you REALLY think they'll go sparing YOU? Really? LOL… Be proud of your ancestors and where you're from, cause it's the only thing that matters.
When are you all going to get on the "Black Star Liner'' and go back to Africa? Justice was served to Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin on the spot. Be law abiding and these things wouldn't happen. No cop goes out in the morning thinking "Today's the day I'm going to kill a Black man." Darren Wilson was attacked by a 6'5, 300 pound MAN! With intent to do bodily harm.

The lunacy continues. Both this woman, and you, are promoting an atmosphere of racial tension. This guy clearly says at the beginning of the video that "All of the guns are packed into the semi already", and that they are also "packing up all of the pawned stuff too, to protect their customers property". This gun store/pawn shop is going through the expense of moving the entire contents of the store because of the looting that went on before. They aren't refusing to sell a gun to a black woman. In fact he told her he would go back and try to locate her gun. Notice that she never says if she ended up getting her gun or not. He was very polite and very straightforward in what was going on. If you want to do something for the "negro" in America, tell them to stop trashing innocent peoples businesses when something happens that they don't like. Tell them to be AMERICANS, not AFRICANS.
Akebulan King, calling a white American a "Euro" and a "foe", and a black American an "Akebulan" is the most devisive and racist thing on this post.

If we were "Israel" than we would be a country and not a race…however if you were referring to being "Israeli" than the Americans wouldn't have any issues providing us weapons. Prime example, Palestine.
Lmao!
How is this racist?
There are several things going on here that I see:
1. She obviously has never purchased a gun before. Because she doesn't understand how the system works for gun purchase.
2. She is shocked that gun stores around a hotbed situation would take precautions to not get looted? Lmao! Depending on the inventory, one gun store can have thousands of dollars worth of inventory! If I can see a storm coming best believe I'm going to make moves to protect my hard work!
3. You wait until the last minute to purchase protection for you and your family??? You are a fool.
4. This man is NOT acting in a racist manner towards this woman in this particular video. Yes, I said it, he is NOT acting in a racist manner towards her.
5. Any fool paying half ass attention to what's been going on in Ferguson knew days ago that the cop was not going to be charged. This guy has just been paying attention, he doesn't have a crystal ball to see what's up!
This should be a good lesson to all; There is no time like NOW to get prepared!
……or did we learn nothing from hurricane Katrina?

Randy, shut the hell up with your self-righteous babble. Black people are far from the ones who create racial tensions and ostracize ourselves from being citizens.
Edward Wesson "I'm an African, I'm an African, and I know what's happening"- Dead Prez. Nahhh bruh. Let me guess..we descend from SHEM and we are the true Iraelites, not those that descend from EDOM..right?? WRONG!!! The very people who've enslaved us, where the translators of the Bible, Torah, ect, ect. I don't believe in a CHOSEN people. The motherland is AFRICA!!! Not Israel.
Phace'buk Sux-Arse I get what you are saying Phace. I agree completely. But these cats are basing their rational COMPLETELY on the Bible and not history. Bias is the only dialogue they understand.
Kelila Israel I READ THE ENTIRE KORAN,TORAH,AND BIBLE. Yes the Hebrews were colored, but that's based on a book translated by a false prophet, a plagiarer, and a person who fucked his own mother. This person was King James. Now what book, did you read this from again?????? Exactly.
Margie Lazou Please don't fall for these diversionary, divide & conquer tactics…let it ride. Malcolm said it long ago: we are not oppressed b/c we are christian, muslim, hebrew, rich, poor, suburban, hood, male, female, hetereo or homo, educated, uneducated, innocent, guilty, criminal or saint–we are oppressed b/c we are black. Put all that other bull aside–they are just artificial barriers that we erect that benefit THEM, not us.
Before you crow about your lack of white 'guilt' (and I don't expect sociopaths to have guilt, they are incapable of it)…but read up on how the Irish became 'white' & how the Italians NEVEr really were. lol…heard of black irish? Ever wonder why southern europeans weren't even considered 'white' by the US until the 20th century & were denied immigration opportunities? And you apparently don't understand the difference between PREJUDICE & RACISM. The former ANYBODY can be but the former requires a SYSTEM to undergird it. People need to stay out of the deep end of the pool if you can't defend your illogical opinions.

When you put up the $..your triflin ancestors had no problem anteing up the funds when they wanted to kidnap our people so you should gather your lil STOLEN pennies and set up a donation fund like you did to the confirmed murderers Zimmerman & Wilson. Otherwise, STFU, Gomer.
Francena McGirt Yeah, they put out riots after people started rioting, so they were right weren't they?
And Gregory they are't disenfranchising anyone's 2nd amendment rights. Nobody's taking away any guns from anyone or banning anyone from using them.
I guess when a store is closed, or out of stock, or worse, have stuff in stock and it's unavailable to sell (for whatever reason) they're disenfranchising your to shop, right?
The store owner is part of the people and guess what? They have as much right to protect their property as you do. What about them wanting to protect themselves?
He did what he had to to protect himself and his property and comply with the request of police – he ALSO has a right to sell or not sell as he damn well pleases, whether you like it or not. That is HIS right.
That's the problem with people. They think that because they want something, they have a right to it NOW, and everyone has to bend to their will. Newsflash, wanting something does not equal a right to have it.
Randy Gulley "white" is a socio-economic construction unique to America that has evolved overtime. Irish peeps and Italians and peeps from other European countries were not included in the "white" paradigm. Originally only English, German and Dutch were considered "white." Whiteness was both racist and antisemitic. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, my "white" peers referred to themselves by their country of origin, which was awesome because it was an opportunity to learn about the history and culture of different countries. My husband never refers to himself as "white" because he knows his German and English history. Today, most "whites" do not know their nationality of origin and have bought into this racist and antisemitic narrative called "white." African Americans can help people whose origin is European by referring to them as either European Americans or by their nationality of origin. It is up to us to expose this "whiteness" construction for what it really is – racist and antisemitic.
His hands were up when he was shot down….Proof enough!!! It does not matter if he was a thief, confrontational, etc. We see whites with large guns and doing far more and the patience and time to calm them down is unbelievable but all the black males are just dead….I can't believe people don't see the unfairness in this….Justice is suppose to be Blind…why is the scarf up and she is peeking when it comes to black males….the court is to decide what the punishment is not on the street and shot down by a person who is to bring peace or calmness to every situation….. Believe this…the EGO in these officers is going to spill over and trust me it will reach beyond color lines….I guess EVERYONE will understand then….
You are referring to the offspring of Sheba and Solomon. They had a child named Menelik. Thus beginning the Hebrew line of royalty in Ethiopia. The kingly line continued in Ethiopia, but the hebrews themselves didn't begin there.
Dexter Nelson You're missing the point. The store owner clearly saw how she is complying by the rules and laws. We can't know all the details from this video, but it's obvious that he would have wanted to give her the gun, that she paid for, when she wanted it. It is clear that he offered her a refund (the store losing money for the ordinance the cops put out, against their will) or he offered her and everyone else a discount (the store losing money for the ordinance the cops made against their will). This has nothing to do with the stores inventory, their hours of operation, cool off period. I understand that in this case the law would help protect him and anyone owning a store that sells guns, if the store is broken into, but that's still besides my point. All of that stuff has nothing to do with this situation. There's nothing in this video that would lead me to believe he did not want to give her, her gun at that moment. It's not want it's the law, right now. He could not give it to her because of the Ferguson police and their ad hoc laws for a predicted civil disturbance. This snubs her right to protect herself (while working with law enforcement) and anyone else who wanted to be able to protect themselves over the next few days…weeks…until further notice. That's disenfranchising people who can lawfully practice their Second Amendment Right to protect themselves in a hostile city environment/unrest, but can not if they do not already own a gun. I highly suggest that you look at stuff like this link. This is what conservative media is putting out to people today! http://bearingarms.com/pawn-shop-owner-vows-ship-guns-ferguson-arm-residents-rioters/
Gregory Ellzey It's not about just her. Being black doesn't mean she gets special treatment. The fact that there weren't any guns in the store mean he would have told the same thing to every customer, regardless of their race or rights.
Yeah he saw her complying with the law, but that goes both ways. He was complying with the law too. Him telling her she had to wait or offer a refund is how you run a responsible business.
People need to get over this selfishness they got about their race. Be proud, stand up for your rights, fight for equality, but don't expect special treatment, because here's the thing about equality – it applies to everyone, not just you.
Equality strives to recognize one word – sacred – That God created all men equal.
That means your rights are sacred, your race is sacred, your property is sacred, your property is sacred, your sexuality is sacred, your morals are sacred, your relationships your family, your friends… all of it is sacred. Your life is sacred…
But so is your neighbors.
Equality isn't about getting treated differently because you're a different race or anything else. It's about being treated like everyone else in spite of differences, AND it is about treating everyone the same in spite of their differences.
Dexter Nelson HONESTLY what in my argument made you think I'm basing everything around my race??? What was it?? I think you are deliberately assuming that I am say this so as to avoid what my point and the point of this video really is. I never said this was a "black problem" and "black people need to stick up for themselves better or anything like that. I AM saying all people need to stick up for themselves better" when you have these questionable things happening with the law all of a sudden. To do less would be reason to give up on our rights and freedoms all together. This does have just as much to do with everyone's rights being trampled as it does her own individual rights. In the video the man and her are showing you that they are doing this city wide. I'm not favoring her for any reason other than she specifically said she works with law enforcement. This means she can not defend herself legally while doing her job. The gun store owners there in Ferguson will LOSE business now because you have businesses outside of the town claiming they'll sell their guns and ship them to people in town. This is going to cost an arm and a leg, but I'm willing to bet theirs people who will pay that price. This weeds out people who can not afford it although they deserve it legally and rightfully. Racism is clearly not the issue in this specific case. It IS the Ferguson police messing with the Second Amendment Rights of white, black, hispanic, asian, etc. peoples rights as they see fit. This is all while criminals, thugs, people who own guns illegally are walking around with guns during a riot. We as an American people holistically need to stand up for our rights better and not tremble and backdown when the police say it's okay. There is no real peace without proper enforcement of the law and the unwavering exercises of all rights. Doing less means we do not deserve those rights in the first place.
Gregory Ellzey You can't ignore the context of this entire page. "Caught on Tape: You Won’t Believe What This Gun Dealer in Ferguson Told This Black Woman Who Tried to Buy a Gun"
It was race baited from the start. The contents of a book, no matter the varied topics in the pages are still bound in the same cover… in this case, race.
Circumstance plays a part in the actions. They were preparing for a crime wave after the verdict and they took precautions.
Even if people decided to leave town to buy a gun, they would still have to wait to get one legally, and let's face it, when people are angry and looking for blood they aren't going to sign up on a list and wait.
Only psychopathic murderers pre-meditate like that.
No, they want something right now while they're mad enough to do something. That means hitting up the local gun dealers.
They did the right thing. It wasn't just an inconvenience for the black woman, it was an inconvenience for the dealer too. That doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do or that it was somehow unfair.
It's not like we hear about stray bullets killing innocent people or anything.
Hey if I was in his position I wouldn't sell her the Gun either. The riots and looting is what making black people look bad. It is what it is, Dr. King would have been against it. That small group of rioting is making everyone else look bad. What about the shop owners that have saved up everything to open up a business and then a riot happens and they loose everything they have built. Now that's heart breaking.
People please SUE Missouri for denying black people their rights to bare arms. This is a civil suit waiting to happen. OMG Please sue the the City and the County.
This dipshit mentions people being racist, then goes on to mention Jesse Jackson being king of an African hate tribe. Classic idiocy from a racist pos.
I'm sorry I don't understand how this is racist, obviously if you think that there is about to be a riot emptying every store of valuable stock should be a priority especially stores with guns and ammunition. This woman seems to think that this guy is doing it to spite her or something but it seems to me that he was being polite and offered her a discount once his inventory was brought back. Unless I'm just missing something huge that's not racism that's just common sense.
Edward Wesson : You are one of the nuts running around trying to argue about where you came from ! You are a Black person aren't you ! Where you THINK you came from doesn't make a damn bit of difference here ! When the lead start flying the bullets don't ask who the hell you are! Pay attention to the business at hand or stop crowding up this forum ! People like you are a disgrace to the Black race !
Gregory Ellzey let's forget everything and look just at the situation. She's been coming in the store making payments on the gun, not coming in to try and pick it up and she was being denied (I got that from the talk of their being a balance).
She also said that she tried to pick it up the week before and there was a delay because the information she gave them before doesn't match the information on her identification.
All that aside, she wasn't there to get the gun for protection during the riot – she said she needed it for her job.

Jay Contreras I know all about the history of the Irish and the Italians….The Irish only really became "fully 100 percent White" when the Kennedy family came to power and when JFK became president (JFK had to write a speech to the public about why it was okay for an Irish Catholic to be president)……And Italian immigrants in the early 1900s faced harsher immigration laws and more anti-immigrant public feeling than modern day Hispanic immigrants do…. Did Italians or Irish have it as bad as Blacks and the Chinese (Chinese immigrants were heavily discriminated against out West in Cali and Oregon)?? No…..but they were still discriminated against……Back in the late18-early1900's Whites were given value by what ever ethnicity they were (German, British, Irish, French, Italian, Eastern European etc) and the British "Anglo" Whites were the top dogs who dominated most of society….Remember that all the Founding Fathers were British-White "Anglo" colonists….It's only recently that Whites have been lumped in together as a singular united group (Blacks on the other hand have always been lumped in as just "Black" in America)…..I have "guilt" for any innocent victim of homicide of any race….Where is all this outrage over the Chinese guy who was pushed onto an oncoming train by a Black guy for no reason??

Blah Blah Blah most of the blacks in this country don't know their ancestry well enough to say whether they are descendants of slaves or not. How about you Buckwheat? Do you know who "Baby Daddy" was?

So you're saying that if you were in a situation that could go one of two ways, and one of those options happened to be mass rioting, you would not get your merchandise to a safe location? You'd be a terrible business woman.

Tony Hunt You're about the most ignorant piece of shit I've ever seen. You add nothing to this page but hate and ignorance. Why don't you go jump on a shit and let that shit sink at sea.

totally agree with Anthony on this. People are so driven by opinions and assumptions but not hard evidence and facts. This man in the video is not a racist, he is a worker and they were advised not to sell any weapons to not add further injuries to what have already been in place. I am a black man and I am currently studying criminal Law. One advise i have for black men in America, as we are tired of injustice, go to law school, pass the bar exam and open firms to fight injustices. Perhaps if there were lots of us who know the law, we could educate our people how to communicate with authority by not telling them what you are not going to do when it's their words against yours. Black people acting as if this is the first time that has happen. This is nothing new, get used to it. We are yelling and terrorizing the wrong group of people.
You guys cause more fear and hate by posting this video a good mans image was used to view whites in a negative light and cause fear and anger among black people , it's this group part of the government , are you motives to caused rioting and destruction
Why is the thumbnail picture showing the owner of Engage Armament LLC In Rockville, MD not FERGUSON, MO?
I along with members of my gun club do a fair amount of business at that shop in the backdrop and we know what Andy looks like even in this dated clip from a video he posted on you tube. http://youtu.be/Vw512ujDHjI
I don't appreciate that at all because if someone non black did that false representation to any one of USS, people be ready to grab torches and pitchforks over it.
This is not a good look Atlanta Black Star.
FIX it.
I think the problem with this white officers killing blacks is based around them being the majority on the police force, policing our community. If more of our people qualified ourselves and started appling at these police Academy we would have more of us policing our own community instead of some out of town white boys with racist intent in their hearts. Im from the bay area and i noticed when you go through China town in San Francisco you see Chinese officers, you never here about them killing their people they never have a problem. Stand up police your own shit and stop with this mentality of fuck the police, i aint gone be a cop. Hey being a black officer for the purpose of the protection of our people i rather that them some evil redneck who is looking for a reason to murder our people.
Tony Hunt I don't know Alfalfa do you know who yours is? Maybe Mr. Ed? You know you freaks of nature have a penchant for bestiality. I recall reading about a white male like yourself dying from trying to copulate with a horse. Was that YOUR dear old Dad? You going to visit your local animal brothel this thanxgiving to use that 2 for 1 coupon I know you have been saving for special occasions? lol…Or maybe you are going to do the Jerry Sandusky and rape some poor defenseless child OR maybe go out this holiday and enjoy the 'delicacy' you mentally retarded freaks have come up with: SCAT? Is that on the holiday menu, Alfalfa? lol..you don't EVEN wanna start comparing pathologies, freak…
Tony Hunt Leave it to someone like you, a probable latent homo, to bring up size in reference to black men's penises.. let it out GIRL!! We KNOW how you all get down. I'll leave you to whirl like Scarlett in Gone with The wind, Tony or is it Toni? lol.
I think everyone in the comments section should get together with the white or black person they are arguing with, have a beer and listen to "Imagine" by John Lennon or "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. That's a world I'd like to live in and a comments section I'd post on….
Brenda C Seen,what I take issue with is the fact that if you listen carefully to the video, you can only surmise that this headline is just flat out misleading. I am from South Carolina and I have seen limited racism from "white" people and African Americans.By and large though, we got along just like family. Racism is wrong but in my book misleading is right up there with lying, and that is wrong too.Most Americans are just trying to get along and make it through.In a world that is increasingly trying to divide us,people should have enough decency not to create more division.
Isisle was created in Iraq by the United States. The United States Don't realize they are now creating the same situation on U.S. soil. You don't need a knife. Just a 6 inch knife and the head of the snake is gone.
Ok…. I really don't think anyone here LISTENED to what the guy said. Yeah she was black and YES he told her she couldn't pick up her gun until "after things calmed down" But bases on the title of this video " You won't believe what this gun dealer in Ferguson said to this black woman who tried to buy a gun"….. it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact she was black! It had EVERYTHING to do with what he said…. He said they were told by law enforcement that the Grand Jury was not going to indict the officer. This was BEFORE the "official" verdict came out! THAT was the "unbelievable" thing he said!
Why is it they keep throwing the "we are slaves to white man" in the mix? A white man freed the black people from slavery……..I think they forget that. No matter what white people do we will always be compared to slave masters…….
Everybody need to stop and realize. We have the tool for change. It' called Voting! Not killing, not roiting, not protesting . Midterm voting (voting every 2yrs) is just has important. As regular term voting(voting every 4yrs).
Black folks will forget about everything as soon as a New Jordan come out, or a Rick Ross album or Some KD shoes. We easily tricked by the Devil. POWER PLAYERS MAGAZINE (THE ORIGINAL) Troy T The Editor.
I don't get it. What is the point of the video? I was think at first that maybe she was saying that they already had the verdict and she was showing proof. But it isn't clear I'm confused.
This was not a racial issue. If police know or suspect a riot to breakout. It would probably be best for stores to stop saling and hide their guns…. because people will treat this place like a shoe store.

We are not Israel brother Edward Wesson. Israel is a cursed name given to Jacob(Yakub) for his rebellion against God. He is the father of the grafted race of Caucasian from the caucus mountains where they residedafter being driven out of the Holy Lands for causing mischief. this is where the roots story of masonics and all the Greek fraternities and sororities come from. we were before there was in Israel we are the original black people of the planet Earth.
Sherry Cole is right Mark is wrong no matter what color he is.. but I guarantee you he is white.. the devil does not commit suicide..it's his job to be wrong and to stick up for and cover for wrong as long as it's coming from one of them against a black person and if it's against the black person they don't care who its from George Zimmerman may not be white but what he did to a black person makes the devil happy.
the death of Michael Brown was his own fault, anybody who cimmits robbery , pushes the little store owner , puffs up liike he's mr unstopable,goes down the middle of the street while ignoring cops order to get out of the road, trying to tak the cops gun then walking toward the cop like he is going to take his gun away , he was just asking to be shot, his own fault, then people came from miles away ylling hands up don't shoot, th ones who said that got caught in lie's and then like a bunch of uncaged animals fucked the whole town . man you guys are smart, or stupid
People use titles like the one above to get us to watch their vido or read their post. It's a marketing technique. When I see titles like this I pass them by.I didn't watch the video for that very reason. To some of you that may sound strange but I don't like being manipulated. I'm a Network marketer myself and it's my duty to be honest from the first word I type.
WELL said Priscilla. It's ridiculous how the so called "media" can and does manipulate almost everything. And it's really sad becasue more and more people seem to believe everything they hear or see that's put out by various media outlets. God forbid if anyone were to fact check or get their information by credible sources. But even credibility is a rare thing. It's getting harder and harder to believe ANYTHING unless you are there to witness it from the very beginning and hear the entire story….from both sides of the fence.
Not surprised.
There you have it. That's why Blacks don't believe the slave masters children. They are devils…!
slave "oppressors"… NEVER masters. The only thing that they've mastered were ignorance, fear, devilishness and a diabolical system of pure evil.
A BIGG WOW!
As long as African people act surprised when things like this happen, we will remain stagnant. We protest a system ran by people who innately despise us and without understanding our need to saturate necessary posts in society, we will always remain a stagnant dependent people. I had a conversation with a young energy filled so-called revolutionary, who was full of dangerous emotions and he said he was ready for war with this "devil." My reply was, "young brother after you run out of your initial ammunition that you may have on hand, where will you get more supplies?" Where will you buy heavier weaponry? He had puzzled look needless to say. African family the one thing that I found profound about this video is not the reaction from the foe, but the fact that we are still amazed that our enemy does not feel obligated to help you protect yourself and that we still go to the foe for our necessities. At some point the Negro in America is going to have to accept the fact that to the Euro you are still the negro in America. You negate this by investing in pertinent African economical infrastructure. Not the latest sneakers or carrying bag, or skinny jeans or your depreciating European automobile. Agriculture, security, culture, African education, international trade relations with African countries, etc. Forgive me for speaking candidly, but, we look really foolish asking a system that we are underrepresented in, excluded from and stereotypically persuaded to distance ourselves from, for solutions that we already know will not be given. We either begin to do for self as an African collective or continue to reap what we sow. JusT the reality, nothing complex about it, what is complex is the level of ignorance that African people must fight through in order to realize the matrix that they live in. Teach children culture, economics, math, and science, technology, and engineering, before you let them learn lyrics by Young thug, Beyoncé, Nikki Manaj, and any other agent that perpetuates stagnation and European superiority over your African mind. STOP BEING NIGGAS AND BECOME AKELBULANIANS (AFRICANS)!
I'm in total agreement. These people have had their day. A new educational paradigm is what's needed. These devils are worst then their forefathers.
I cant hear what the hell they are saying.
WE ARE NOT AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE ARE ISRAEL!
WE ARE NOT AFRICAN. WE ARE ISRAEL!
How can you go to the enemy for protection?
this is the exact reason why you shouldn't wait until you need a gun to purchase one. She says that she needs this firearm to protect herself during the riots that are projected to occur, but how in the world is she going to become proficient with using a firearm in two days? Not to mention the fact that her dealer won't sell it to her in the first place.
I have been saying this same thing for years and all i get for the most part is the sound of crickets. I agree with yoour post 200% and am going to repost it.
Wtf? This guy should lose his license…..and be opened to legal proceedings. I'm so tired of idiocy like this, we can't tolerate anyone justifying hate, regardless of what they look like…. He not only broke civil rights laws, he also violated her second amendment rights and needs to be held accountable…… Now.
I agree with alot of what you said…but even with that you still have to spit on the white man…how long does the white race have to be blamed for all the black peoples struggles. I remember the struggles the black people faced in the 60s. That was over 50 yrs ago. When is enough enough…right now many are fed up with the actions in Ferguson. The verdict has been announced…the correct verdict…now the terrorists will tear up a city for the wrong reasons…this craziness has to stop…
Of course. We're back to lynching of blacks at-will and without any repercussions.

did he say that he was only denying black people guns or was he denying everybody guns, so how is this man a racist? Sounds like the racist here are most of the ones commenting on this video that clearly shows a man trying to protect his family, home, and store. Grow up people and quit trying to Jesse Jackson everything… who happens to be the king of the African hate tribe!
That's not divisive at all. SMH
Is there also a video of a White Person going in there trying to get their gun? That is the ONLY way you can say this guy is a racist. If you have a separate video of a White Person trying to get their gun and he gives it to them and not this woman. Without that second video, I do not see any evidence of racist actions, just as the Grand Jury didn't see any evidence of criminal actions on behalf of Darren Wilson.
The death of Michael Brown can only be described as a senseless tragedy. The thing is,the headline of this article is very misleading. The gun shop owner is clearly not selling her a gun because he can't. He explains that the government has told them to remove their guns because of the inevitable looting that happens after an explosive situation comes to a head.I am so sick of reading misleading headlines.I continued reading and realize that that this site is propagating hatred.You should be ashamed.YOU are part of the problem.
Too many white people are such lying hypocrites! The sell of guns were sold to white people though, I'm sure! From the beginning they were not going to prosecute this cop! Why is anybody surprised! If they didn't convict George Zimmerman, and he is not a cop, for killing and unarmed Trayvon Martin, come on now, did you really think?
Cecil Max-George Thank you both. yes I want this to be about STEM, GPA, SAT BS BA MA MS MEd PhD MD JD – we need every AA church to start Saturday STEM schools. We need preachers to start talking about education from the PULPIT. We need AA churches to start AA child development emancipation programs for AA parents. We need the AA community to talk education 24/7. We need to show our children we are all about education not just in talk but in deed as well – in barber shops and beauty salons – entertainers especially rappers to rap education – make education of our children every AA person's business.
Edward Wesson Fine we are Israelis of color. And we need to handle our business and talk education 24/7. How are you doing in school? How ydid do on that math quiz or spelling or history test. Put away the video games and turn off the TV as the President has said numerous times. Don't let the media manipulate you with their idiot box.
Edward Wesson Yes brother we are the Israelites.
Elle V Elle Word!
Who got lynched?
You don't know what you're talking about. That guy wasn't a cop, he was a store owner. And as a result of him owning the store, he can lawfully refuse service to anyone he chooses for any reason he chooses. How did he violate her civil rights? How did he violate her 2A rights? He didn't tell her she couldn't own a gun, he didn't even tell her he wouldn't sell her a gun. He only told her he wasn't selling any guns because they were removed from the store due to the riots and she could either have a full refund or wait until the riots were over.
Come learn how to organize, create and run your own community at http://www.bragse.com, we need you. Peace
Edward Wesson ?????
We are Israelites? Don't you know that the original Jews were from Ethopia? Study history & you'll find out things.
Man stop bullshitting this lady, she uses guns for a living! If she is injured because of this fool, she should sue his ass.
Big deal….Everyone is racist….I don't see any difference between Blacks and Whites on a personal basis…..Maybe in the South the Whites are more racist, but in NYC where I live I don't see a difference between Blacks and Whites….As for the Slavery thing that always comes up….Most "White groups" didn't immigrate to the US until after 1865 (when Slavery was abolished in the US) and I know for a fact that Italians didn't immigrate until 1880-1930 aka well after the Slave period was over in the US….the Slave Owners (like the founding fathers) in the US were British White guys….Why do you think most Black Americans have British last names? But you never see a Black American with an Italian or Greek or Russian last name….Hint hint it's not hard….
Do you believe that black people were the only slaves?
GET OUT AND Vote @ thes election It hepls
STFU!!!! No one said anything about sell out Tom Jesse Jackson! Again, STFU!!! You're probably one of those hood wearing KKK who cheers on your white brethren murdering cops!
did anyone catch what he said. the police dept. knew he wasn't going to be indicted.
Okay so the store owner is taking precautions in accordance to warnings from law enforcement, and offered to give the woman a refund. What's the problem?
Too many people either fail to get the facts themselves or are too ignorant to understand the facts when they are right in front of them. George Zimmerman wasn't convicted because ALL of the evidence proved that Treyvon Martin assaulted Zimmerman and was beating the crap out of him, forcing Zimmerman to use deadly force to defend himself. Yea, I watched the trial. Apparently you and millions of others didn't. And apparently all the evidence in this case proves Brown was also the aggressor. I have news for people like you. When YOU assault someone, it is YOUR fault when they defend themselves and shoot you dead. Get a clue.
They should show both videos and this would be powerful.
I think you are missing the point and it may be because of the SENSATIONAL title of the article. The guy to whom she is speaking to is very civil, kind in his explanation, and (from what you can hear) telling her exactly what he knows. I don't know if anyone told you personally that they thought the store clerk was being racist, but most people can see (hear) that he is not racist. You're building an argument on things that do not compare when you compare it to the Grand Jury's verdict. The point of this is the Ferguson police put out this ordinance before the verdict in preparation for riots. This eliminates the possibility of a person being able to own a gun to personally PROTECT themselves during a predicted PROTEST/RIOT. Not only does it hurt the individual who is seeking a means of protection, but also it hurts the businesses and pawn shops who have to cut deals and do extra discounts! Whether you "side" with Darren Wilson and the Ferguson county police on the issue of the shooting of Mike Brown or the community of people who thought the shooting was wrong you have to see the INJUSTICE in this. Separate yourself from your own convenience and think more empathetically. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARGUE FOR AND ARGUE AGAINST!
Gregory Ellzey I see where both of you are coming from. He's talking about the title of the video. The video is entitled to show discrimination. His argument is that you should show both sides to prove the case. That's all I don't think he's being racist. Before you think I'm siding with anyone, I don't agree with the outcome of the case. Hence me blacking out my profile.
AND don't get me wrong, I understand that this was a precaution to prevent people from buying a gun and then using it against the police or other people during protest and riots in an unlawful manner. BUT the likelihood of someone buying a gun for their own honest personal protection, the protection of their property, and the protection of their loved ones DURING a riot is the SAME.
Gregory Ellzey I agree but their is usually a cool off period sometimes for buying a gun. This is to avoid a deadly outcome based on emotions. RIP Mike Brown. If the cop intentionally killed him he will have to answer to God
I NEVER said anyone was being racist. I myself don't care about your race. I do think Anthony is using a logical fallacy to build his a SENSATIONAL argument because he immediately compared it to the actual GRAND JURY verdict. I understand perfectly well what he is trying to say about doing another video where a caucasian tries to buy a gun, but to me that still wouldn't EQUAL the same thing. She specifically said this was a FERGUSON city wide ban from selling guns. This limits peoples Second Amendment Rights in a time when their right should be very practice-able. All while allowing the FERGUSON police, people who already owned guns legally, and people who illegally own guns to carry.
Couldn't agree more. It's a sensational title. The video is not misleading though. We have to be careful what we read and what we consider to be CREDIBLE NEWS. There's more "shock value" if they can convince you someone is doing something racist on camera. It helps Atlanta Black Star to sell ads! The only real news here is the actual video itself.
You just compared the cops being able to projecting a riot occurrence with her personally being able to predict a riot occurrence. She would have had to predict riots months in advance, better than the police, and then train in using her firearm all up until the Grand Jury Verdict!!! I see your point in saying "don't wait until you need it", but that does not prove that the actions of the Ferguson Police is not a limitation of her Second Amendment Right. This is against anyone who wants to own a gun during a "projected" NEAR FUTURE, violent "occurrence". This negates the possibility of anyone else like her, who may have wanted to be able to honestly and legally protect themselves, their families and their property, with a firearm, during a riot. It only allows the police, people who already own guns legally, and people who own guns illegally to be able to have a fire arm during a riot. Blatant Injustice!
the Ferguson law enforcement who put out the ordinance is the problem.
Gregory Ellzey Gotta be careful when painting with broad strokes. Not all Ferguson law enforcement is bad, and that warning they put out in preparation for more riots is exactly what they should have done. If you're going to protest the cops using force for everything, you can't protest when they don't. They had a choice. Send out the warnings, or place military-style police and riot troops all around the city. Which would you rather?
Nkidani Regnier It would seem that the cool off period doesn't apply in this case. People are assuming that, if a white person did the same shopping that she did, the outcome would be different. Some are assuming the exact opposite! I'M saying that their is NO difference. We are enabling DIVISIVE, sectarian thought based around racist that would only favor the police in this situation. The Ferguson Police put out this ordinance all of a sudden and it would prevent anyone INCLUDING people who met the "cool off period" requirements from owning a firearm. There is the fact that you should 'buy something before you need it', but that maybe suggest that she would have had to be able to predict when a riot was going to happen and then compare that to a cool down period!!
Gregory Ellzey I said the title implied race and not you. I think the system is corrupt. We can't blame blacks, whites and cops alone. We have to blame the system and unfortunately its designed to help cops and mostly discriminates against blacks. They will justify using that "cool off Period' or whatever they wanna call it as a national security etc
Nkidani Regnier I AGREE. But the FERGUSON police are a big part of the "fault" in the system in this case, as they would directly be dealing with rioters and the actual verdict which involves a cop. It is the government that creates laws etc., but in this case the police can not ESCAPE blame. They know very well what they are doing! It would help save the lives of police if they are predicting people buying or stealing guns then using them against the police in riots. But it could just as well JEOPARDIZE the lives of civilians who honestly want perfectly legal firearm protection during a riot. I've watch the video a couple of times now and I'm pretty sure from what she is saying the "cool down period" would not apply. The trip part of this is she specifically said she works with LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Gregory Ellzey Wow. I didn't know that she was in law enforcement. Sad man. The system is set up to help cops and cops are to blame. The reason why I said the system because its cops, judicial, laws, etc, privilege that's what I meant. We have to get out and vote regardless of how little we think we do. We need to protest peacefully, etc. We need to stop making dumb artist like Bobby Smurda, etc famous. Time for us blacks to love ourselves and make a difference. We need to know that no one is the government is gonna listen to us if we don't demand it. Look at the civil rights movement etc. I don't have the answer but we as a nation need to wake up and move
Nkidani Regnier I agree! Bobby Smurda hurst our credibility!! She said she "works with enforcement" at 00:44, he talks over her a little. That does not mean that she IS law enforcement, but there is still IRONY in that. The people she is working with will be protected, but her, on the other hand…!
I just listened to the video again and there was nothing that I heard mentioned about nobody being able to buy a gun. What happened here, in this video, at this store, was all of the firearms were taken out of the store and loaded into a trailer, to be taken off-site. The reason for this action was they were supposedly told rioters and looters would be targeting firearms stores and pawn shops. The Title of this story implies the woman was unable to get a firearm due to the fact she was Black. I compared it to the Grand Jury Verdict because in this particular video, I heard no evidence of any racial discrimination, just as the Grand Jury heard or saw no evidence warranting criminal charges being brought against Darren Wilson. The incident of the shooting in Ferguson is it's own incident and has absolutely nothing to do with any other shooting. I think that's where a lot of people are missing the point. The Grand Jury in THIS case and THIS incident, found no evidence to suggest Darren Wilson did anything that warranted criminal charges against him. Let us remember Darren Wilson has rights as well as a Citizen of the United States. If there was evidence that showed Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown because he felt like shooting someone that day, I would be the first person in line calling for Criminal Charges to be brought against him. I would also make my decision on whether or not to call for Criminal Charges against someone based on the law and based on the fact one human being killed another human being in cold blood. Not because the shooter was White and the victim was Black.
Anthony Ferrara Jr You're avoiding the point of the video. You're telling me how you JUMPED to a conclusion when you read the title and then you are telling me again how you JUMPED to another conclusion when you tried to make sense of why you compared this video to the grand jury verdict in general. This proves that your argument is invalid! An argument more comparable to Stephen Hawking's limbs! You're trying to funnel everything into having to do with the verdict for something that already happened. A person who is already dead. We already know what may or may not have already happened. We know the verdict and we can FACE THAT TRUTH. This is deliberately avoiding the point of the video which is that she has reason to believe that her life maybe in danger because of the riots. She should have the right to be able to protect herself. Right NOW at this very moment peoples lives can be in danger in Ferguson because they are being denied their rights to have a firearm. This is the point! FACE THAT TRUTH. What is your counter to THIS SPECIFIC POINT?
I think we're basically saying the same thing here. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to predict when and where they would need a firearm to protect themselves and therefore should be proactive in arming themselves and training to use a firearm safely and correctly so when the time comes they will be prepared. I also believe that her rights are being trampled and the "locals" (we know what that means don't we?) are being discriminated against in regards to firearm sales BUT i believe that this woman and others like her are wrong for waiting until the crap hits the fan to buy an umbrella.
For clarification. I don't live in Ferguson MO, but she said at the end of this video that this is an ordinance being enforced throughout the city. She also said that she works with law enforcement so there is her credibility and understanding. So that means the entire community black or white cannot buy a gun at this time, until further notice.
So, this woman went into this store with her camera going.. Like manufacturing an incident of racial imbalance.. Except she is proving that she is the racist and NOT the store clerk..
what did I just waste my time watchingearing? your all one bunch o race haters over there….BLACK and WHITE…….
There was a lynching? Where?
He doesn't have to sell to anyone.
What are you on about black people, the Jews hate your guts worse than the white people. Are you gone totally mad??? Only Hebrews are Israeli, and you're not the right colour, ethnicity, blood or religion… stick to what you really are and stop trying to get somebody else's culture, african cultures are vast and amazing. If you shed your own heritage yourselves how can you expect respect from oppressors?

Mark McMiller I know you must be white, for the mere fact of your name calling, "ignorant!" Your opinion is yours, and my opinion is mine! There is a real difference in the way most whites, process the FACTS/TRUTH, "just watch FOX NEWS," because of there continuous stereotypical thinking!! You have heard your fairy tails of how much greater of race you are than other races, and trust me I know it' hard for you not to look to prove your want to be "GOD" thought process! Your assumption thinking others don't know facts, your willingness to believe your so call facts is the right way, and no other way, just proves your screwed up thought process, obvious you see all people of of color as the problem, you have the inability to believe not one person of color might for one instance could be a victim. George Zimmerman, who obviously should have taken 911's advise and not followered Trayvon, Martin, if he was such a whimp, and allowed a young boy to beat him, he just should have allowed the cops to handle, the "which I don't believe Trayvon even would have survived them, because you people have the tendency to think every person of color is a "THUG," George should have simply stayed in his vehicle, he had already call authority, yet he chose not to do so! See you people want your cake and eat it too,Trayvon was defending himself from a stalker, and the cops yet again went to a store survallience recording looking for some wrong doing, only to see a young man pay for what he picked up in the store, not like the Michael Brown's situation, calling a theft, a "STRONG ARMED ROBBERY," just to engulf bias thinkers like you in RAGE, BTW, who Darren Wilson had now knowledge off: Yeah I watched the trial, I guess you watched the trial of the CRAZY white man who was convicted for shooting in the SUV, and killed an innocent young Black child, over music, and watched the trial of the man who shoot and innocent young Black woman, for knocking on his front door, I bet you believe they should not be convicted, because they are not guilty also! I have news for people like you, who think you can bully people on face book because you don't like someones opinion you are face book problem! It's funny when a Black person, is the victim or not you IDIOTS, think the worst! Lol, You think I need to get a clue, FYI, you don't have a CLUE, on your bias up bringing, that has made you think you and people like you are the only ones who count! I don't expect or even want anyone like you to know Black people love their families, no matter how you want to SPIN it, just like any other people on this GOD given earth! Charles Manson's mother loved him, I bet!!!!! Stop trying to make other people the problem and do a little soul searching for you!!!!
Dexter Nelson They did though. They placed military-style police and riot troops all around the city…sooooo….
This brutha just dropped some serious talk and the best you can do is focus on your religious doctrine??? Smdh! I hear in lies the problem, they killin our ass irrespective of what you believe or claim you are. So out of all that this brutha said, what's the significance or what difference does it make whether someone calls you an Israelite or an African? I mean really, how dynamic or circumstance does that change about this shit going on? You think if the racist cop knew he claimed Israelite it would have somehow changed the circumstances? Ya'll really need to wake up and release yourselves from this dogmatic thinking because it sounds really ridiculous in the context of what we are collectively dealing with. It's nothing more than divisiveness and it's useless right about now. I'm Afrikan, btw, and quoting a book that's proven by countless scholars to be nothing more than myths and allegories ain't proving anything.
Dexter Nelson So you are saying disenfranchise the second amendment rights of everyone who wants to have protects because of the prediction that people will unlawfully use weapons against the police. This is what you are agreeing with. I think the police painted in broad strokes on this one. Their is people who legitimately wanted firearms legally for their protection and the protection of their families during this time of violent turmoil. Your argument is they don't deserve it because of the people who knowingly and willingly break laws. This goes against everything the Second Amendment stands for! When it's convenient people try to SUPPORT and STAND for their rights, but when things get shaky we will willingly give up those rights and find any EXCUSE as to why we did. She's said she works with law enforcement so the likelihood of here being in harms way, in the next couple of days is higher in her personal case. This is blatant injustice.
Michael Jones LOL, mate, I'm not black. I'm not Latino or Jewish either. I'm white, and I'm telling you this, so long as you're sheep and slaves to the white gods, you'll always be slaves to the white people. End of story. Christianity and muslims and hebrew gods and all that shit, wanna be slaves to the "chosen race" of a racist god? Yeah? Then don't go blaming the white people for treating you like shit, cause you bring it on to yourselves. There's no love lost in any of them for you. They hate themselves, you REALLY think they'll go sparing YOU? Really? LOL… Be proud of your ancestors and where you're from, cause it's the only thing that matters.
When are you all going to get on the "Black Star Liner'' and go back to Africa? Justice was served to Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin on the spot. Be law abiding and these things wouldn't happen. No cop goes out in the morning thinking "Today's the day I'm going to kill a Black man." Darren Wilson was attacked by a 6'5, 300 pound MAN! With intent to do bodily harm.

Damn shame but hey, may be they'll believe you…smdh
Seriously dude?
The lunacy continues. Both this woman, and you, are promoting an atmosphere of racial tension. This guy clearly says at the beginning of the video that "All of the guns are packed into the semi already", and that they are also "packing up all of the pawned stuff too, to protect their customers property". This gun store/pawn shop is going through the expense of moving the entire contents of the store because of the looting that went on before. They aren't refusing to sell a gun to a black woman. In fact he told her he would go back and try to locate her gun. Notice that she never says if she ended up getting her gun or not. He was very polite and very straightforward in what was going on. If you want to do something for the "negro" in America, tell them to stop trashing innocent peoples businesses when something happens that they don't like. Tell them to be AMERICANS, not AFRICANS.
Akebulan King, calling a white American a "Euro" and a "foe", and a black American an "Akebulan" is the most devisive and racist thing on this post.

If we were "Israel" than we would be a country and not a race…however if you were referring to being "Israeli" than the Americans wouldn't have any issues providing us weapons. Prime example, Palestine.
Lmao!
How is this racist?
There are several things going on here that I see:
1. She obviously has never purchased a gun before. Because she doesn't understand how the system works for gun purchase.
2. She is shocked that gun stores around a hotbed situation would take precautions to not get looted? Lmao! Depending on the inventory, one gun store can have thousands of dollars worth of inventory! If I can see a storm coming best believe I'm going to make moves to protect my hard work!
3. You wait until the last minute to purchase protection for you and your family??? You are a fool.
4. This man is NOT acting in a racist manner towards this woman in this particular video. Yes, I said it, he is NOT acting in a racist manner towards her.
5. Any fool paying half ass attention to what's been going on in Ferguson knew days ago that the cop was not going to be charged. This guy has just been paying attention, he doesn't have a crystal ball to see what's up!
This should be a good lesson to all; There is no time like NOW to get prepared!

Edward Wesson "I'm an African, I'm an African, and I know what's happening"- Dead Prez. Nahhh bruh. Let me guess..we descend from SHEM and we are the true Iraelites, not those that descend from EDOM..right?? WRONG!!! The very people who've enslaved us, where the translators of the Bible, Torah, ect, ect. I don't believe in a CHOSEN people. The motherland is AFRICA!!! Not Israel.
Kelila Israel Nope…we are AFRICAN's brainwashed by the slavemasters Bible.
Phace'buk Sux-Arse I get what you are saying Phace. I agree completely. But these cats are basing their rational COMPLETELY on the Bible and not history. Bias is the only dialogue they understand.
I actually have more respect for Islam then the bs they be talking about.
That's why the references you can come up with are from scripture. You are completely BRAINWASHED BY YACOB.
Kelila Israel I READ THE ENTIRE KORAN,TORAH,AND BIBLE. Yes the Hebrews were colored, but that's based on a book translated by a false prophet, a plagiarer, and a person who fucked his own mother. This person was King James. Now what book, did you read this from again?????? Exactly.
Margie Lazou Please don't fall for these diversionary, divide & conquer tactics…let it ride. Malcolm said it long ago: we are not oppressed b/c we are christian, muslim, hebrew, rich, poor, suburban, hood, male, female, hetereo or homo, educated, uneducated, innocent, guilty, criminal or saint–we are oppressed b/c we are black. Put all that other bull aside–they are just artificial barriers that we erect that benefit THEM, not us.
Before you crow about your lack of white 'guilt' (and I don't expect sociopaths to have guilt, they are incapable of it)…but read up on how the Irish became 'white' & how the Italians NEVEr really were. lol…heard of black irish? Ever wonder why southern europeans weren't even considered 'white' by the US until the 20th century & were denied immigration opportunities? And you apparently don't understand the difference between PREJUDICE & RACISM. The former ANYBODY can be but the former requires a SYSTEM to undergird it. People need to stay out of the deep end of the pool if you can't defend your illogical opinions.

Kelila Israel Africa is the womb of mankind. We are all African in our DNA – the only difference is the melanin in our skin.
Francena McGirt Yeah, they put out riots after people started rioting, so they were right weren't they?
And Gregory they are't disenfranchising anyone's 2nd amendment rights. Nobody's taking away any guns from anyone or banning anyone from using them.
I guess when a store is closed, or out of stock, or worse, have stuff in stock and it's unavailable to sell (for whatever reason) they're disenfranchising your to shop, right?
The store owner is part of the people and guess what? They have as much right to protect their property as you do. What about them wanting to protect themselves?
He did what he had to to protect himself and his property and comply with the request of police – he ALSO has a right to sell or not sell as he damn well pleases, whether you like it or not. That is HIS right.
That's the problem with people. They think that because they want something, they have a right to it NOW, and everyone has to bend to their will. Newsflash, wanting something does not equal a right to have it.
Randy Gulley "white" is a socio-economic construction unique to America that has evolved overtime. Irish peeps and Italians and peeps from other European countries were not included in the "white" paradigm. Originally only English, German and Dutch were considered "white." Whiteness was both racist and antisemitic. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, my "white" peers referred to themselves by their country of origin, which was awesome because it was an opportunity to learn about the history and culture of different countries. My husband never refers to himself as "white" because he knows his German and English history. Today, most "whites" do not know their nationality of origin and have bought into this racist and antisemitic narrative called "white." African Americans can help people whose origin is European by referring to them as either European Americans or by their nationality of origin. It is up to us to expose this "whiteness" construction for what it really is – racist and antisemitic.
His hands were up when he was shot down….Proof enough!!! It does not matter if he was a thief, confrontational, etc. We see whites with large guns and doing far more and the patience and time to calm them down is unbelievable but all the black males are just dead….I can't believe people don't see the unfairness in this….Justice is suppose to be Blind…why is the scarf up and she is peeking when it comes to black males….the court is to decide what the punishment is not on the street and shot down by a person who is to bring peace or calmness to every situation….. Believe this…the EGO in these officers is going to spill over and trust me it will reach beyond color lines….I guess EVERYONE will understand then….
You are referring to the offspring of Sheba and Solomon. They had a child named Menelik. Thus beginning the Hebrew line of royalty in Ethiopia. The kingly line continued in Ethiopia, but the hebrews themselves didn't begin there.
Jay Contreras I agree, but when I see ignorance. I had to speak on it, but yes I completely agree w/ Brother Minster Malcolm.
Dexter Nelson You're missing the point. The store owner clearly saw how she is complying by the rules and laws. We can't know all the details from this video, but it's obvious that he would have wanted to give her the gun, that she paid for, when she wanted it. It is clear that he offered her a refund (the store losing money for the ordinance the cops put out, against their will) or he offered her and everyone else a discount (the store losing money for the ordinance the cops made against their will). This has nothing to do with the stores inventory, their hours of operation, cool off period. I understand that in this case the law would help protect him and anyone owning a store that sells guns, if the store is broken into, but that's still besides my point. All of that stuff has nothing to do with this situation. There's nothing in this video that would lead me to believe he did not want to give her, her gun at that moment. It's not want it's the law, right now. He could not give it to her because of the Ferguson police and their ad hoc laws for a predicted civil disturbance. This snubs her right to protect herself (while working with law enforcement) and anyone else who wanted to be able to protect themselves over the next few days…weeks…until further notice. That's disenfranchising people who can lawfully practice their Second Amendment Right to protect themselves in a hostile city environment/unrest, but can not if they do not already own a gun. I highly suggest that you look at stuff like this link. This is what conservative media is putting out to people today! http://bearingarms.com/pawn-shop-owner-vows-ship-guns-ferguson-arm-residents-rioters/

Michael Jones I hear ya, I shouldn't even have entertained these fools w/ a response.
Gregory Ellzey It's not about just her. Being black doesn't mean she gets special treatment. The fact that there weren't any guns in the store mean he would have told the same thing to every customer, regardless of their race or rights.
Yeah he saw her complying with the law, but that goes both ways. He was complying with the law too. Him telling her she had to wait or offer a refund is how you run a responsible business.
People need to get over this selfishness they got about their race. Be proud, stand up for your rights, fight for equality, but don't expect special treatment, because here's the thing about equality – it applies to everyone, not just you.
Equality strives to recognize one word – sacred – That God created all men equal.
That means your rights are sacred, your race is sacred, your property is sacred, your property is sacred, your sexuality is sacred, your morals are sacred, your relationships your family, your friends… all of it is sacred. Your life is sacred…
But so is your neighbors.
Equality isn't about getting treated differently because you're a different race or anything else. It's about being treated like everyone else in spite of differences, AND it is about treating everyone the same in spite of their differences.
Black people denied The right Arms! Blatant!

Dexter Nelson HONESTLY what in my argument made you think I'm basing everything around my race??? What was it?? I think you are deliberately assuming that I am say this so as to avoid what my point and the point of this video really is. I never said this was a "black problem" and "black people need to stick up for themselves better or anything like that. I AM saying all people need to stick up for themselves better" when you have these questionable things happening with the law all of a sudden. To do less would be reason to give up on our rights and freedoms all together. This does have just as much to do with everyone's rights being trampled as it does her own individual rights. In the video the man and her are showing you that they are doing this city wide. I'm not favoring her for any reason other than she specifically said she works with law enforcement. This means she can not defend herself legally while doing her job. The gun store owners there in Ferguson will LOSE business now because you have businesses outside of the town claiming they'll sell their guns and ship them to people in town. This is going to cost an arm and a leg, but I'm willing to bet theirs people who will pay that price. This weeds out people who can not afford it although they deserve it legally and rightfully. Racism is clearly not the issue in this specific case. It IS the Ferguson police messing with the Second Amendment Rights of white, black, hispanic, asian, etc. peoples rights as they see fit. This is all while criminals, thugs, people who own guns illegally are walking around with guns during a riot. We as an American people holistically need to stand up for our rights better and not tremble and backdown when the police say it's okay. There is no real peace without proper enforcement of the law and the unwavering exercises of all rights. Doing less means we do not deserve those rights in the first place.

Gregory Ellzey You can't ignore the context of this entire page. "Caught on Tape: You Won’t Believe What This Gun Dealer in Ferguson Told This Black Woman Who Tried to Buy a Gun"
It was race baited from the start. The contents of a book, no matter the varied topics in the pages are still bound in the same cover… in this case, race.
Circumstance plays a part in the actions. They were preparing for a crime wave after the verdict and they took precautions.
Even if people decided to leave town to buy a gun, they would still have to wait to get one legally, and let's face it, when people are angry and looking for blood they aren't going to sign up on a list and wait.
Only psychopathic murderers pre-meditate like that.
No, they want something right now while they're mad enough to do something. That means hitting up the local gun dealers.
They did the right thing. It wasn't just an inconvenience for the black woman, it was an inconvenience for the dealer too. That doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do or that it was somehow unfair.
It's not like we hear about stray bullets killing innocent people or anything.
Hey if I was in his position I wouldn't sell her the Gun either. The riots and looting is what making black people look bad. It is what it is, Dr. King would have been against it. That small group of rioting is making everyone else look bad. What about the shop owners that have saved up everything to open up a business and then a riot happens and they loose everything they have built. Now that's heart breaking.
American terrorist, born and breed,

I agree
People please SUE Missouri for denying black people their rights to bare arms. This is a civil suit waiting to happen. OMG Please sue the the City and the County.
This dipshit mentions people being racist, then goes on to mention Jesse Jackson being king of an African hate tribe. Classic idiocy from a racist pos.
I'm sorry I don't understand how this is racist, obviously if you think that there is about to be a riot emptying every store of valuable stock should be a priority especially stores with guns and ammunition. This woman seems to think that this guy is doing it to spite her or something but it seems to me that he was being polite and offered her a discount once his inventory was brought back. Unless I'm just missing something huge that's not racism that's just common sense.
Valarie MzMessi Ivory You are so right!!!!
Edward Wesson : You are one of the nuts running around trying to argue about where you came from ! You are a Black person aren't you ! Where you THINK you came from doesn't make a damn bit of difference here ! When the lead start flying the bullets don't ask who the hell you are! Pay attention to the business at hand or stop crowding up this forum ! People like you are a disgrace to the Black race !
You said it best!
You said it best!
Gregory Ellzey let's forget everything and look just at the situation. She's been coming in the store making payments on the gun, not coming in to try and pick it up and she was being denied (I got that from the talk of their being a balance).
She also said that she tried to pick it up the week before and there was a delay because the information she gave them before doesn't match the information on her identification.
All that aside, she wasn't there to get the gun for protection during the riot – she said she needed it for her job.
You tell me, exactly what rights were violated?

THANKYOU @domonique Robinson! THANKYOU! Not racist at all! Just proving the point on the future verdict of the Ferguson trial!

Jay Contreras I know all about the history of the Irish and the Italians….The Irish only really became "fully 100 percent White" when the Kennedy family came to power and when JFK became president (JFK had to write a speech to the public about why it was okay for an Irish Catholic to be president)……And Italian immigrants in the early 1900s faced harsher immigration laws and more anti-immigrant public feeling than modern day Hispanic immigrants do…. Did Italians or Irish have it as bad as Blacks and the Chinese (Chinese immigrants were heavily discriminated against out West in Cali and Oregon)?? No…..but they were still discriminated against……Back in the late18-early1900's Whites were given value by what ever ethnicity they were (German, British, Irish, French, Italian, Eastern European etc) and the British "Anglo" Whites were the top dogs who dominated most of society….Remember that all the Founding Fathers were British-White "Anglo" colonists….It's only recently that Whites have been lumped in together as a singular united group (Blacks on the other hand have always been lumped in as just "Black" in America)…..I have "guilt" for any innocent victim of homicide of any race….Where is all this outrage over the Chinese guy who was pushed onto an oncoming train by a Black guy for no reason??

Blah Blah Blah most of the blacks in this country don't know their ancestry well enough to say whether they are descendants of slaves or not. How about you Buckwheat? Do you know who "Baby Daddy" was?

So you're saying that if you were in a situation that could go one of two ways, and one of those options happened to be mass rioting, you would not get your merchandise to a safe location? You'd be a terrible business woman.

Tony Hunt You're about the most ignorant piece of shit I've ever seen. You add nothing to this page but hate and ignorance. Why don't you go jump on a shit and let that shit sink at sea.

totally agree with Anthony on this. People are so driven by opinions and assumptions but not hard evidence and facts. This man in the video is not a racist, he is a worker and they were advised not to sell any weapons to not add further injuries to what have already been in place. I am a black man and I am currently studying criminal Law. One advise i have for black men in America, as we are tired of injustice, go to law school, pass the bar exam and open firms to fight injustices. Perhaps if there were lots of us who know the law, we could educate our people how to communicate with authority by not telling them what you are not going to do when it's their words against yours. Black people acting as if this is the first time that has happen. This is nothing new, get used to it. We are yelling and terrorizing the wrong group of people.
How a story of a white woman killing herself with a gun she bought for Ferguson. http://fox8.com/2014/11/24/police-woman-accidently-kills-herself-with-gun-brought-to-prepare-for-ferguson-unrest/
Why are you using my image as the thumbnail for this video? I didn't give anyone permission to use it, nor is this me in the video.
Another POS Thug wanna be, and to think you were the best your "Baby Daddies" sperm had to offer. What a pitiful joke.
You guys cause more fear and hate by posting this video a good mans image was used to view whites in a negative light and cause fear and anger among black people , it's this group part of the government , are you motives to caused rioting and destruction
Why is the thumbnail picture showing the owner of Engage Armament LLC In Rockville, MD not FERGUSON, MO?
I along with members of my gun club do a fair amount of business at that shop in the backdrop and we know what Andy looks like even in this dated clip from a video he posted on you tube. http://youtu.be/Vw512ujDHjI
I don't appreciate that at all because if someone non black did that false representation to any one of USS, people be ready to grab torches and pitchforks over it.
This is not a good look Atlanta Black Star.
FIX it.
I think the problem with this white officers killing blacks is based around them being the majority on the police force, policing our community. If more of our people qualified ourselves and started appling at these police Academy we would have more of us policing our own community instead of some out of town white boys with racist intent in their hearts. Im from the bay area and i noticed when you go through China town in San Francisco you see Chinese officers, you never here about them killing their people they never have a problem. Stand up police your own shit and stop with this mentality of fuck the police, i aint gone be a cop. Hey being a black officer for the purpose of the protection of our people i rather that them some evil redneck who is looking for a reason to murder our people.
Tony Hunt I don't know Alfalfa do you know who yours is? Maybe Mr. Ed? You know you freaks of nature have a penchant for bestiality. I recall reading about a white male like yourself dying from trying to copulate with a horse. Was that YOUR dear old Dad? You going to visit your local animal brothel this thanxgiving to use that 2 for 1 coupon I know you have been saving for special occasions? lol…Or maybe you are going to do the Jerry Sandusky and rape some poor defenseless child OR maybe go out this holiday and enjoy the 'delicacy' you mentally retarded freaks have come up with: SCAT? Is that on the holiday menu, Alfalfa? lol..you don't EVEN wanna start comparing pathologies, freak…
I know you can trace your heritage back to that great African king, Shabazz Zulu Bozo, that great pygmy king.
Tony Hunt Leave it to someone like you, a probable latent homo, to bring up size in reference to black men's penises.. let it out GIRL!! We KNOW how you all get down. I'll leave you to whirl like Scarlett in Gone with The wind, Tony or is it Toni? lol.
I think everyone in the comments section should get together with the white or black person they are arguing with, have a beer and listen to "Imagine" by John Lennon or "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. That's a world I'd like to live in and a comments section I'd post on….
Racist af
Brenda C Seen,what I take issue with is the fact that if you listen carefully to the video, you can only surmise that this headline is just flat out misleading. I am from South Carolina and I have seen limited racism from "white" people and African Americans.By and large though, we got along just like family. Racism is wrong but in my book misleading is right up there with lying, and that is wrong too.Most Americans are just trying to get along and make it through.In a world that is increasingly trying to divide us,people should have enough decency not to create more division.
Isisle was created in Iraq by the United States. The United States Don't realize they are now creating the same situation on U.S. soil. You don't need a knife. Just a 6 inch knife and the head of the snake is gone.
Ok…. I really don't think anyone here LISTENED to what the guy said. Yeah she was black and YES he told her she couldn't pick up her gun until "after things calmed down" But bases on the title of this video " You won't believe what this gun dealer in Ferguson said to this black woman who tried to buy a gun"….. it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact she was black! It had EVERYTHING to do with what he said…. He said they were told by law enforcement that the Grand Jury was not going to indict the officer. This was BEFORE the "official" verdict came out! THAT was the "unbelievable" thing he said!
Why is it they keep throwing the "we are slaves to white man" in the mix? A white man freed the black people from slavery……..I think they forget that. No matter what white people do we will always be compared to slave masters…….
Everybody need to stop and realize. We have the tool for change. It' called Voting! Not killing, not roiting, not protesting . Midterm voting (voting every 2yrs) is just has important. As regular term voting(voting every 4yrs).
Black folks will forget about everything as soon as a New Jordan come out, or a Rick Ross album or Some KD shoes. We easily tricked by the Devil. POWER PLAYERS MAGAZINE (THE ORIGINAL) Troy T The Editor.
I don't get it. What is the point of the video? I was think at first that maybe she was saying that they already had the verdict and she was showing proof. But it isn't clear I'm confused.
This was not a racial issue. If police know or suspect a riot to breakout. It would probably be best for stores to stop saling and hide their guns…. because people will treat this place like a shoe store.
This is more than we can imagine
What we need in this world is love peace and unity a new day………

We are not Israel brother Edward Wesson. Israel is a cursed name given to Jacob(Yakub) for his rebellion against God. He is the father of the grafted race of Caucasian from the caucus mountains where they residedafter being driven out of the Holy Lands for causing mischief. this is where the roots story of masonics and all the Greek fraternities and sororities come from. we were before there was in Israel we are the original black people of the planet Earth.
Sherry Cole is right Mark is wrong no matter what color he is.. but I guarantee you he is white.. the devil does not commit suicide..it's his job to be wrong and to stick up for and cover for wrong as long as it's coming from one of them against a black person and if it's against the black person they don't care who its from George Zimmerman may not be white but what he did to a black person makes the devil happy.
A DAMN SHAME, MORE CONSPIRACY
the death of Michael Brown was his own fault, anybody who cimmits robbery , pushes the little store owner , puffs up liike he's mr unstopable,goes down the middle of the street while ignoring cops order to get out of the road, trying to tak the cops gun then walking toward the cop like he is going to take his gun away , he was just asking to be shot, his own fault, then people came from miles away ylling hands up don't shoot, th ones who said that got caught in lie's and then like a bunch of uncaged animals fucked the whole town . man you guys are smart, or stupid
People use titles like the one above to get us to watch their vido or read their post. It's a marketing technique. When I see titles like this I pass them by.I didn't watch the video for that very reason. To some of you that may sound strange but I don't like being manipulated. I'm a Network marketer myself and it's my duty to be honest from the first word I type.
WELL said Priscilla. It's ridiculous how the so called "media" can and does manipulate almost everything. And it's really sad becasue more and more people seem to believe everything they hear or see that's put out by various media outlets. God forbid if anyone were to fact check or get their information by credible sources. But even credibility is a rare thing. It's getting harder and harder to believe ANYTHING unless you are there to witness it from the very beginning and hear the entire story….from both sides of the fence.
