The Revolutionary Gun Clubs Patrolling the Black Neighborhoods of Dallas

" In Dallas, several dozen black militants stood at attention in front of a field officer, holding assault rifles and AR-15s. "This is perfectly legal!" the leader bellowed. "Justice for Michael Brown! Justice for Eric Garner!" came the hoarse cries from the formation. "No longer will we let the pigs slaughter our brothers and sisters and not say a damn thing about it," the leader answered back. "Black power! Black power! Black power! Black power!"

On a warm fall day in South Dallas, ten revolutionaries dressed in kaffiyehs and ski masks jog the perimeter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park bellowing "No more pigs in our community!" Military discipline is in full effect as the joggers respond to two former Army Rangers in desert-camo brimmed hats with cries of "Sir, yes, sir!" The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is holding its regular Saturday fitness-training and self-defense class. Men in Che fatigues run with weight bags and roll around on the grass, knife-fighting one another with dull machetes. "I used to salute the fucking flag!" the cadets chant. "Now I use it for a rag!"

"A knife changes the whole game," one of the drill sergeants, who goes by the name Chief, explains, demonstrating how to perform a slash-and-stab maneuver on the torso of a wide-eyed girl in her 20s. A panhandler wanders up from the street. He is about to ask for spare change but then becomes interested. "What is this? Self-defense? That's cool." A pack of black bikers throw up their fists as they roar by.

Charles Goodson, the gun club's 31-year-old dreadlocked vegan co-founder, grew up less than a mile away. Both he and Darren X, the national field marshal of the New Black Panther Party, have been organizing around police-violence issues in Dallas for the past decade. Goodson says they worked together last year, during an armed rally in the small East Texas town of Hemphill, where they protested the police's failure to fully investigate the murder of a black man named Alfred Wright. The Dallas New Black Panthers have been carrying guns for years. In an effort to ratchet up their organizing efforts, they formed the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, uniting five local black and brown paramilitary organizations under a single banner. "We accept all oppressed people of color with weapons," Darren X, who is 48, tells me in a deep, authoritative baritone. "The complete agenda involves going into our communities and educating our people on federal, state, and local gun laws. We want to stop fratricide, genocide—all the 'cides."

So now these ignorant bastards blames the flag. What they are really doing is protecting and defending black on black crime.

BLACK POWDER!

I didn't know Vice was so full of shit. That article reads like it was written by a 12 year old that has never seen a gun, knows nothing about the military, and has never been to the US. But the grammar seems a little too good for a kid in China.

Hard to disagree with that goal.

This is the most offensive part of the entire article. They should confine themselves to Whole Foods, Starbucks, and other similar theaters of operation.

Who could blame them for not wanting no help from no white boy. Look at all the great help they got from the white leftists. Excruciating poverty, lack of jobs, full government dependency, drugs flooding their neighborhoods, crime run rampant. These are all democrat run areas and this is the way democrats like to keep their blacks. With conservative beliefs as there once was in many of those now decimated places there is a way to prosperity and freedom.

I'm pretty sure this group's demise won't be pretty. They were offered help by kindred spirits but that's how it goes.

They should start with all the black on black homicides originating in those same communities that account for 90%+ of black murders before they worry about the 0.01% killed by cops.

Democrats have always worked hard to ensure that black people are "property". The difference is they went from wanting them to be private property, to wanting them to be Government property. And they've been very successful all along.

Yep. I wish them well in reaching that goal.
