Black Conservative Releases Hard-Hitting New Ad Equating Gun Control to Jim Crow

Mar. 4, 2013 12:30pm Mike Opelka

Star Parker, the black conservative who founded C.U.R.E. — the Center for Urban Renewal and Education — is raising eyebrows with her latest 30-second ad released late last week title , “Never Again.”

New Star Parker Ad: Gun Control Likened to Jim Crow Laws

Image: Never Again

The clip, which presents powerful images of the KKK and hangings of blacks in America, also makes the case that the latest round of gun control laws could threaten the safety and security of African Americans.

Image: Never Again

Here is the entire section of the “Black Code” mentioned above. It outlawed firearms ownership by blacks:

4. PENAL LAWS OF MISSISSIPPI

Sec. 1. Be it enacted,…That no freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife, and on conviction thereof in the county court shall be punished by fine, not exceeding ten dollars, and pay the costs of such proceedings, and all such arms or ammunition shall be forfeited to the informer; and it shall be the duty of every civil and military officer to arrest any freedman, free negro, or mulatto found with any such arms or ammunition, and cause him or her to be committed to trial in default of bail.

“The Second Amendment of the Constitution is a right for all Americans, including blacks, to protect themselves and their families from both private and public violence,” Parker told CNS.com.

Watch the entire ad here:

CNS News did get a response to the video from one anti-gun group, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV). Spokesperson Ladd Everitt told CNS, “I don’t think this is the genuine opinion of African-Americans in this country.”

Parker joins a growing chorus of blacks in America who are speaking out in favor of guns. Just last week, Rev. Kenn Blanchard renewed his calls for greater gun freedom while the NRA unveiled a new contributor to its NRANews.com site: young, hip gun advocate Colion Noir.

  Absolutely correct. The reason they don’t want law abiding people to have guns is because we can’t shoot their A$$ when they come and take them. And they will try to totally confiscate them. We must hold anyone dong so accountable and for treason against the Constitution.

  I am thinking somewhere in the past, (and I mean LONG past) my addled brain remembers that the Republicans made sure all freed slaves had a shotgun, it came part and parcel with the 40 acres and the mule.
  
  It was one of those things that got southern democrats so fired up they created the Klan to go round them up.

  If Obama says it is true, most African Americans will believe it. After all, they voted 95% for him in 2008 & 93% for him in 2012.
  
  The claims by this commercial are obviously absurd. The 2nd Amendment does guarantee the right to bear arms by free people, no matter what color they are. If the minorities that won Obama his 2nd term allow him to lead them back into slavery because of crushing debt & lack of self defense laws & regulations, they they have nobody to blame, but themselves. The sad part is if they go that route, they drag everyone down.

Hello?? Blacks support Obama regardless of — whatever. He can hang them…dry or otherwise, they’ll still support him, not because they’re stupid or uneducated, but because he’s black. So spare me the history. It’s 2013, and approx. 93% of blacks voted for Obama in the last election, down only 2% from the 2008 election. So what the heck do the Jim Crow laws have to do with gun confiscation by the Traitor? You think Obama is going to target his base? Really?? You folks are so afraid of being called racist, you refuse to look reality in the face.

  Sadly for you there are far fewer of those than the closet racists in the Democratic party happily keeping the minorities from doing more than feeding at the public teat.
  One day you will wake up and realize the party you support has all along favored racist policies and harbored racist views, from the founding of the Klan to the project housing to the expansion of the welfare roles.
  
  It gets harder and harder to see, though… it would mean admitting not only that you’ve been wrong, but that all this time you’ve supported the enemy. Strong triggers for continued denial.

  Anti Gun laws passed by Democrats to keep Blacks Down.
  
  NAT Turner is a Democrat so you know who he wants to keep down.
  
  “The earliest law prohibiting inexpensive handguns was enacted in Tennessee, in the form of the “Army and Navy” law, passed in 1879, shortly after the 14th amendment and Civil Rights Act of 1875; previous laws invalidated by the constitutional amendment had stated that black freedmen could not own or carry any manner of firearm. The Army and Navy law prohibited the sale of “belt or pocket pistols, or revolvers, or any other kind of pistols, except army or navy pistols,” which were prohibitively expensive for black freedmen and poor whites to purchase.[7] ”

  Nat: If you have already determined the Plot, and the Cast and Characters before you read the book, then even reciting the history to you would not suffice to inform you. Your’s is a pitiable position.
  
  During the period leading up to the Civil War Republicans were opposed by Democrats, and labeled as “The Radicals” for wanting to Abolish Slavery, and free all the slaves from the Plantation.
  
  Now they are called Radicals because they want to free them from the Democrat Plantation, of city ghettos, entitlement programs and the purposeful distruction of the Black Family.
  
  Sure there are racists in the Republican Party; But I’d be willing to bet that they are out-numbered 20-1 by Democrat Racists. Conservative Republicans and Libertarians want to free ALL the slaves today: Black, White, Rich, Poor, Illegal Immigrants who are taken advantage of, Middle-class, and even those like YOU, whose minds are in a prison of their own Paradigm and Thinking.

  Hey “boy”, you like living on the plantation. The plantation just happens to be the Democratic Party, and you are a slave to the Massa, being the leadership of the Democratic Party, which incidentally your Massa, Barack Hussein Obama, who doesn’t really care a hoot a out you or the other Black Americans – other than to buy you off to get your vote, so you in effect sell your soul for a mess of portage.
  How do I know Obama doesn’t go e hoot? 80 % of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods. As a result, 56 % of black pregnancies end in abortion, and Obama knows it and does absolutely nothing about it. That’s the elitist mentality and Obama is an elitist and is subservient to other elitists – the ones that helped put him in there, and the ones that give Obama his marching orders.
  You see Obama is on the same plantation that you are on. He’s just a little up the ladder, but he hangs around the elitists. Obama has very little to do with the Black Comgressional Caucus other than throw them a few bones once in a while to help keep order on the plantation – kind line you get thrown a few bones to keep the peace in the Black community and to get your regular vote and the “yes sir boss”.
  Grow up, start smelling the roses, and man up and be a man. Start making your own decisions and quit kissing the a$$es of the Democratic Party and become a free man.

as a person from the south I was very offended by what Glenn THE moron had to say about why the NRA was founded. We are done with you Glenn Beck go back to whatever hole you crawled out of, the Yankees did not develop the NRA to get guns to blacks they supported gun education and gun control in order to get more northerners familiar with using guns, because it was felt that the war would have been shorter if not for the fact the southerners who were used to hunting were better marksmen than their northern urban counterparts. The Yankees never gave a damn about the plight of blacks. we in the south are sick of that old diatribe. Oh the kkk, the kkk. the north cared not one whit about the KKK, which by the way I disapprove of the KKK but the NRA had nothing to do about protecting blacks from the KKK.

  You might be surprised how much cross-purposing happens in the founding of organizations. Trying to untangle the origin of the NRA to a single point might not be as easy as you make it sound.
  
  With that in mind, it’s probably un-wise to take such an intense position.
  
  Making such loud claims, with no stated proof to back them up sounds like you have a personal stake in these claims. As a member of the NRA, I don’t really have a personal stake in the organizations founding, only a stake in what it is today.
  
  Why do you care if Mr. Beck’s ‘take’ on its founding is perfectly pure? Odds are, he’s at least in the ballpark. I’d like to see what you have to offer that countermands his position.

  Since everything good that happened to free blacks and give blacks privileges was created by Republicans, it would not surprise me the NRA helped blacks get guns. Every Democrat knows if you keep a person uneducated and looking to government to subsist, you control them. Those under the government today, regardless of race are more of a slave today, than blacks were during slavery. Why do you think our kids in school today are barely functioning morons.
  
  I teach at the college level and I am appalled that any of those kids actually graduated HS. They can’t spell, the have no problem solving skills, and it never occurs to them to read their school book and follow the step by step directions to complete their homework. It isn’t a wonder Democrats are going after whites; they’ve already have the majority of blacks in their back pockets.

  Beck made a bimbo remark by saying that Ullyseus Grant, cared about the welfare of blacks and so he and Ambrose Burnside founded the NRA. The people of the south are tired of being maligned by the opportunists of the north, such as Mr Beck. We now know only too well that the people who triumph in any battle get to write the history books, to say that the north really ever cared about blacks is just incorrect. They were selling them in Washington and in New York, and that is how they paid for their industrial revolution, the northerners raided the homes of southerners and looted heirlooms and really anything of value and THEN and only then they allowed the blacks to do likewise so that each home they raided was stripped bare. Very often after a raid they also burned the home. The northerners also helped themselves to all of the food and livestock while they were at it, the people who were women and children for the most part were left to their own devices to forage for food. Read the book “A Confederate Girl’s Diary” and see what was happening, it is not the story we learned in school, this girl’s parents had wanted no part of the war and succession but that did not stop them from being robbed of every earthly possession. Slavery was wrong but the south was not the only group responsible for slavery. Beck slams the south every so often because he figures its a free shot after all who is going to call him on that I mean its the south just a bunch of dumb rednecks. Right?

  @Kingcoal.
  
  16 tons baby! You swerved into something. No, northerners didn’t give a hoot in hell about a bunch of slaves.
  
  They figured out early on that slaves were friggin EXPENSIVE! You had to put a roof over their heads, food in their bellies, shoes on their feet and clothes on their back. If one got sick, you had to buy medicine. If you paid big bux for a slave, you HAD to spend money to be sure he could work and pay back the investment. That all came out of the slave holders pocket.
  
  Northerners on the other hand, didn’t give ANY of that to the ignorant immigrants who worked their mines and made their steel. They found out that it was FAR CHEAPER to hand the poor buggers a few pennies a day and let THEM buy their own food, shelter and clothes! And tell them how FREE they were, God bless them. And oh, if you can’t afford the “company store,” hell, we’ll let you slide till NEXT payday. “Load 16 tons, what do you get, another day older and you’re deeper in debt. St. Peter dontcha call me cause I can’t go, I owe my soul to the COMPANY STORE.”
  
  Fact of life in the “free” north.
  
  There’s a reason the north opened the immigration flood gates for about a ten year period in the 1830′s. There’s a reason the north put punishing tariffs on the south during the same time period.
  
  The south could not afford to feed its slaves AND pay the huge taxes levied by the north.
  
  There’s more to the Civil War than meets the eye.

  ” the people who were women and children for the most part were left to their own devices to forage for food. ”
  
  Again, you stumble onto a piece of history neglected because its “inconvenient” to the tale of the victor.
  
  Again, forgive me, old age. I WILL try to find it. But I remember a study by students from a Black college, either in the ’20s or ’30s, where they went and interviewed former slaves and immediate descendants of slaves. In that time period, many were still alive.
  
  Seems there was a thriving black market among the slaves in the slave population. When the punitive tariffs started to really bite, a lot of plantation owners sought to go bankrupt. Their “slaves” panicked and bought them out, because one, they had no other place to go, and two, the northerners would have plundered the lucrative underground market they had.
  
  Basically, the “slaves” had money enough to prop up the plantation owner, leaving the owner basically as figurehead, while running the farm themselves. According to the study, it was not an uncommon situation.
  
  I saw one or two references to these interviews back in the ’60s, but I’ll be damned if I can find them today.
  
  I really do think it was students from the university of Tuskegee or some such, who did the research. And if it existed, it was probably scrubbed.

  willing dupe,
  you have got to be smoking something.
  the only problem at this time with purchasing firearms is that they are scarce because this President and various far Left politicians across the United States are working to violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which rightfully scares thinking Americans.
  
  I cannot speak of the gun merchants in the wake of the Civil War, and would not argue that there existed hard core racists in the deep South who refused sales. I suspect then, as now, the dollar spoke and skin color did not matter to the majority of gun retailers, who wanted to turn a profit and succeed.
  
  It is sad that you view this as white gun owners seeing blacks as ‘potential enemies.’
  That is a pointedly racist attitude.
  The majority of us who own and carry have no enemy except the individual who tries to take what we have worked for… that is independent of skin color, sir.
  I feel sorry that you see the world in such a divided and hateful manner.

The effect of the Army and Navy law was to restrict handgun possession to the upper economic classes”

  @Willingtoupe
  
  At least two of my white ancestors fought on the Union side. They were NOT IRISH. One on my mothers side was killed in the war, his widow then used a buckboard to take her children from Ohio to Iowa.
  
  On my fathers side, one suffered a life long injury to his digestive tract but was industrious in setting up drug stores. He and his white wife divorced by the1870s. He later married the black woman who was originally employed to keep his house. They were actually legally married, she was his beneficiary. I think the state was Minnesota.

  While i’m not WILLINGTOUPE’s biggest fan, by any means, his original sentiment was accurate.
  The 2nd amendment was not universally granted in the US for blacks for quite some time.
  Most of the Bill of Rights was denied to them, in fact, depending on geography and politics.
  The real change was WWII… and the slow social evolution that followed as a result.

Pretty good ad. Emotional. I wonder how all of you rah-rah types would feel if the imagery remained the same but was used to spotlight American racism or to advocate for policies that take racism into accountl? Civil Rights Acts? EEOC? Hate Crimes legislation? Rally support for the Voting Rights Act?

What if the tagline were “Racism in America is real. NEVER FORGET”? Still think the imagery is okay? The video IS about stripping blacks of access to guns so that they are helpless against racist white attackers, right?

  Depends on if everything in your life is looked at through race colored glasses. I believe her “never again” point is aimed at the marxists and communists running our country into the septic tank of hell.
  
  But really, why would any black American want to support this anti gun legislation? Don’t they have families to protect? Star is an intelligent and qualified representative of black Americans, even though they won’t vote for her. Black Americans need to stand up to these a-holes and realize that as they pledge their unwavering support of the first “black” president they are destroying everything the cherished civil rights movement accomplished.

  Well, CR, sadly racism does still exist…
  and the behavior of the race baiters and the Democratic rush to label any opposition to this administration racist are prime examples that it is not a white only problem.
  
  Every time one of your politicians or favored community organizers wrongly claims valid opposition to be racist, it diminishes the reaction to real racism and dilutes it in an ocean of lies.
  
  You are right… we should NOT forget what happened before.
  And those so eager to claim ‘racism’ should remember:
  A) no one alive today in America owned a slave.
  B) many living Americans lost family members fighting to end that slavery.
  C) the source of slaves on the African continent was not white slave gathering groups, but other African tribes.
  D) the state of the entire African continent today remains far behind that of America.
  
  Take advantage of what is available to you now, today, and let go of hatred for something that was never directed at or impacted you.
  
  Recognize that the political policies that are in place and serve today as obstacles for minorities are of Democratic design.
  
  Or don’t. That’s what freedom is about.

Star Parker has done a horrible disservice to conservatives with this. You do not use Jim Crow and historical racism to defend gun rights. You’ve reduced the tragedy of that era to an argument over guns?! Foolish at best, intentionally disrespectful at worst. You guys are pushing me to be Libertarian!

Finally a conservative with the courage to go on the attack in the same way the libs and progressives aka democrats do it. Love the ad, keep it up.

Note to ALL CONSERVATIVES, it is time to use the SAME TACTICS in advertising that the left does. Inject racism, hate, discrimination against the left into everything in the same manner to do to us. It is time to STOP TRYING TO BE THE BETTER GUY, it has not worked because the masses have been dumbed down by the libs and progressives for far to long. So we have to take it to them the only way they understand.

Will black Americans be more willing to give up their guns on the orders of a black President? This is not a black/white issue. It is an American freedom issue.

The White man aka KKK is not trying to take guns away from the black man today……why direct thought there then and away from the fact that it is a black man (Pres. Obama) trying to take away the guns! What is the purpose of this Ad? To incite the black man against the white man using the taking away of guns to provoke BLIND anger and fear against the white race. To muddy what is really happening and knowing an ignorant people with not look deeply into the matter to find the truth.

  !JBLAZE…. You are correct. The last time I saw the Klan make the news was when they applied to become sponsors of a stretch of highway in some Southern state. Those hell bent on beating that drum ignore the skyrocketing numbers of black on black murders which largely go unreported and are only available if one takes the initiative to do the research. The inner city gang bangers are doing the Klans’ bidding, but are too stupid to realize it.

  My thoughts were never on black or white race issues. They were on human issues. Imagine a point in the future and apply oppression in the equation and think backwards to where we are today and where we were in the past. Take hate out of the thought process and apply objectivity. What leads to oppression and what leads to freedom? Just a thought with a different way of development. Now back to the hate. It’s always nearby. How we deal with hate and accept and apply hate shapes our character to some degree. Don’t deny the bad. Learn from it.

  There are at least 4 known type of HIV. Types 3 & 4 are only known in Africa. They have been testing livestock to see what new diseases might hit so we are not caught unprepared.
  
  It was on the Science Channel. Either 3 or 4 cause paralysis.
  
  They jump species via undercooked “bush” meat, being bitten by a pet, or ….
  
  Spent some time going thru wikipedia looking up viruses. Some are passed by mosquitoes & some are not. Don’t know if it is a size thing or what antibodies mosquitoes have or what. Personally I think a mosquito can pass any virus. It is just that some viruses die in a mosquitoes gut more easily & quickly than other viruses so a critical threshold of viruses are not passed onto the next person.

All that is necessary is to read the history of the US following the Civil War; the Reconstruction Period held the greatest of hope for the Freedman and that hope was dashed by the Democratic Party partisans in Congress who forced an end to the program. Read you history and discover that one of the greatest fears of the Southrons was that of a “***** With A Gun”; that fear of course was second to that of miscengenation. Democrats have done everything in their power to disarm the Black People of the USA. LBJ’s “Great Society’ was designed from the beginning to emasculate the Black Male and make the generations which followed Slaves of the Government. It’s har dto believe that people are so stupid that they cannot simply see their hand in front of their faces in these matters. On the other hand, those same fools elected Obama and his band of thugs. Go figure.

  I noticed that the word I used for a Black Person was censored. It was the correct and proper one, by the way, not the “N” word. Anyway, just to be perfectly clear on my position: there should be NO restrictions upon weapons of any type or kind. If you want to own a Bazooka with HEAT rounds, and can afford it, go ahead.. On the other hand, there may be some citizens who are also armed who take issue with you using that Bazooka to shoot at low-riders on the Ventura Highway. Bottom line in all of this is that a person’a race has nothing whatsoever to do with the right to be armed. That is a right given us by virtue of the fact that we are Human Beings. Imagine how long a Pol Pot would have lasted if the entire populace of Cambodia had been properly armed? Or Stalin or Hitler or Mao or for that matter that pathetic character in North Korea — One Hung To Lo or what ever his name is.

  The connection is: African Americans who were denied their second amendment rights due to “Jim Crow” laws implemented after the Civil War were left defenseless to become the victims of abhorrent treatment from the Southern Democrat controlled Klu Klux Klan. Propaganda or not, it DID happen and if our citizens are disarmed by the government it could happen again. If not to African Americans, then to another group that refuses to “cow down” to government.

  Watch it, barber, getting a little too close with that shave… you might just have to recognize the connection between historic Democrats opposing equality and modern Democrats behavior in which what they believe is what should be regardless of fact or public opinion.
  
  After all, they are taking care of 47% of the population, those poor souls cannot know enough to make wise decisions… Decisions such as those that triggered the housing collapse, the theft of American investor’s money and it’s delivery to the unions, the burgeoning debt, a passive wishy washy foreign policy that has won us exactly no friends, and now an attack on Natural freedoms specifically protected by the Bill of Rights.
  
  The fact that you cannot see yourself strung up like that merely means you cannot extrapolate that the same disarmament practiced on black citizens after the Civil War when practiced today on all leave the entire population open to such atrocities.

This collectivist regime is attacking on all angles on this issue. The government controlled banks refuse to do business with firearms manufacturers. The government is buying up all the ammo and trying to enact unconstitutional ‘gun laws’ all across the country.

Spokesperson Ladd Everitt told CNS, “I don’t think this is the genuine opinion of African-Americans in this country.” Translation, blacks aren’t smart enough to know they have a constitutional right to bear arms and Ladd is your typical gun grabbing bleeding heart lib who doesn’t know how the real world operates.
