Might be an inappropriate place at DU to post this . . . but you and your husband need a gun. The Klan knew my dad's family *compound* was heavily armed in Talladega - and they knew what they were getting into if they threatened them.
I am low key about gun ownership at DU - but a shotgun for home defense and hunting is fair game.
I wouldn't have posted ^that^ unless I was sincere.

ETA - for other black Americans who descend from Jim Crow . . . learn the history of the NAACP. Still think you should take it out on Americans who are Jewish (specifically Americans)? Look at how much money Hamas has frittered away in Humanitarian Aid from the US alone since 2006.
That was clean water in Michigan and Mississippi.
That was funding for the UNCF.
That was money for universal Pre-K.

Think about what you are supporting.
