Jay Z Sparks Controversy With Five Percent Nation Bling | HuffPost

Five-Percent Nation - Wikipedia

As long a 3 preventers are not racist, it is a non issue.

I lost track of when this stopped being America and there was freedom of speech and people were free to believe what they wanted regardless of whether it was popular or whether you or I agree.

 

[Joey007]

these comments are despicable.

OH THE HUMANITY

This 3% thing is all new to me, but in reading about it I find it odd that it includes members of he law enforcement and military communities who would be the ones enforcing the "tyranny" the 3%'s rail about.
'

I would imaging a very large percentage of both the military and the police forces support gun ownership and the rights of people to own and use them. Supporting a group that supports those rights makes perfect sense. It should also always serve as a reminder that just because politicians put laws in place they are never the ones who enforce those laws.

 

[raduray]

It's mostly "guns have rights too" politics, it's not like a coherent ideology.

Yeah, but should it come to it, those guns would be used against the law enforcement and military communities. I guess those members haven't really thought it through.

It being America, we also have the right to strongly and vociferously disagree with someone else's opinions.

His right to freely speak and think what he wants is not being curtailed by the government in the slightest.

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean Freedom from consequence speech when we are discussing the public square (other private citizens reactions to another person exercising their right)

It's all just people posting social media memes and LARPing as resistance fighters at a gun range.

For the kicker I'm sure it was just some 16 year old edgelord ****. All teenagers have terrible politics.

What ironic in this outrage of this closet racist kicker we have is that he transferred to a predominately black college.

No......he didn't.

The enrolled student population at Marshall University, both undergraduate and graduate, is 79.1% White, 5.25% Black or African American, 2.24% Two or More Races, 2.08% Hispanic or Latino, 1.07% Asian, 0.302% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.106% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.

This group seems to just be the “Better not take my guns away” group.
This is how they got the name 3 Percenters


In the mid-1700’s, the British colonies of North America had many reasons to be disgruntled with the British Empire and the ruling class in England. Recognizing that things would get worse before they got better, many amongst the people banded together to push an ideology they all shared. This ideology identified and acknowledged that every person has from birth certain rights. These are not granted by any authority other than their Creator. The limitation or denial of these rights is defined as tyranny and oppression. These bands of people worked together to peacefully resolve the abuses of their government, but recognized that peace was not a guaranteed solution.


Eventually, an idea was coined of having “Minutemen” available at a moment’s notice should the King’s tyranny show up in their town, on their streets, or at their door. These Minutemen would meet, train, and prepare to defend themselves, their family, and their townships from an ever encroaching empire. It is from these Minutemen where the 3% name originated. It is a rough estimate that only 3% of the colonists were actively fighting in the field against British forces at any given time. Today we recognize with this 3% in being that we will be the last defense to protect the citizens of the United States if there ever comes a day when our government takes up arms against the American people.

The guns rights people do a horrible job of communicating an argument.
The only one I see that is valid, and in fact very compelling is that the right to bear arms was placed into the bill if rights with the intention of providing citizens with a means to protect itself against the development of a corrupt, racist government. Especially in the current political climate all over the world assuming the peaceful transition of power through elections, a government that will act on the will of the people and not limit or take away their rights is dangerous.

I'm not even pro-NRA and even I think this whole social media storm has been idiotic.

No $h!t. Ten pages about a tattoo the guy got when he was in high school and has since renounced, yet BB uses a 5th round pick on and he wasn't on anyone's radar......you'd think people would actually care if he could kick or not.

Marshall's student body is 84% white. West Virginia State is an HBCU, Marshall is not. Not sure where this notion came from but people seem to have it.

Of course but people are calling for cutting this guy.

...and other people, the people vociferously defending this guy, called for cutting Colin Kaepernick. Maybe it's all just tribalism.

People are saying he should be cut.

Agreed.

Also, while this is slightly unrelated, Brady won two Super Bowls after the Pats traded Jimmy G, so I’d say it was the right move in retrospect.

 

[Drewski]

People are saying he should be cut.

Isn't that also.....their exercise in Free Speech?

I don't know about you, but my right to Freedom of Speech doesn't protect my livelihood. My employer has rules in their employment handbook that anything I say (in public, on Social Media, on LinkedIn etc etc etc) that brings negative attention to my employer can be held against me in terms of my job.

Freedom of Speech is between the Government and the people. Not between People and People, nor Employers and People.

It literally doesn't exist as a right outside of that instance.

 

[Ring 6]

...and other people, the people vociferously defending this guy, called for cutting Colin Kaepernick. Maybe it's all just tribalism.

The danger is those people can complain, protest and boycott and put financial pain in the employer to fire the employee. Particularly concerning when the employee is falsely labeled.
