Because the Second Amendment doesn't protect black Americans!
On the other hand, America can't out enough guns in the right hands!
It's as if the January 8th crowd of predominantly white men were responding to the Haitian uprising. Summoned by the call to arms of their "Dear Leader," they arrive at the Capitol ready to defend themselves and their families from a black uprising.
Pointing to the Black Lives Matter activists, the Qanon Congresswoman asks America to recall the earth rumbling with the sound of drums. And it's as if she is an echo chamber for that history of white fear: Haiti is here! Look among black lives for "domestic terrorists!"
So what is it, six months later, that the Congresswoman and her cohorts fear? It's the fear of the very real blackness of white violence rising to overwhelm the myth of American innocence.
America!
