    The group appears to be mostly black, and is heavily armed.

    The leader advises the group to kill anyone if they are threatened.

    They specifically deny being BLM or Antifa, and are heard yelling "black power".



    Here they approach a white man in a car, and demand he pay them reparations, and then threaten him...

    It should be noted that Stone Mountain is a state run park, not federal.

    If the left had aneurysms over a husband and wife defending their property, this should send them off the deep end.

    Nah, certain criminal actions are okay. You can threaten, intimidate or beat up anyone provided they're the "right"(read: majority) race lol(Sarcasm in case anyone can't tell, don't ever raise your hand to anyone except in self defense.)

    I'm watching the video now. They seem pretty chill. I didn't see any threatening or extortion. Just citizens and ex-vets protesting and practicing their second amendment rights.

    The second amendment doesn't stop with people's skin color.

    If they didn’t demand reparations from the driver, I’d be OK with that. As long as they are peaceful, they have the right for peaceful assembly and for exercising their 2nd amendment rights.

    a large group of angry black men with guns, scares me as much as a large group of angry white men with guns

    won't catch me anywhere near either

    agree, but I would want to be anywhere around them, accidents happen with that many guns and anger in a large group

    It's not like they demanded money from him there or were threatening, they briefly mentioned reparations and moved on. Actually that interaction was fairly civil.

    White guy "who are you?"
    Black guy "we're the black militia bro"
    White guy "who are you?"
    Black guy "I just told you, who are you? Everywhere white People go they steal from us. Where are our reparations? I like your music though."
    White guy "what did I do?"
    Black guy "it's not what you did, its what your ancestors did."
    White guys "aww I don't want to hear anymore" (or something)
    Black guy (inadubile) while walking away "get the **** out of my face"

    Whats the problem there? I've seen way worse confrontations in recent protests. They didnt demand money from him. That's just a boldface lie.

    To be honest with you, I didn’t listen and thought they demanded money.
    If the conversation was as you said then I take my words back. It didn’t look like they caused any trouble.

    Its only a couple minutes long on the link to twitter in the opening post. I tried to get it word for word but there was a bit of mumbling and stuff. But they certainly didnt try to strong arm money from him.

    Just think if these black supremacists were actually white and stopping black people. What would CNN's headline be?

    Am I the only one who watches the videos? I don't think the guy who posted them even watched them. They weren't stopping white people. They were marching. The guy they talked to had shouted something at them. They went over to his car and they had a back and forth for a bit. It was pretty mild really.

    Some traffic was stopped cause, ya know, it's a march and they will stop traffic. But They weren't "pulling over white people"

    Some people at the start had pro second amendment shirts. Black guns matter and stuff like that.

    Honestly it seemed pretty standard as far as militia marches go.

    These guys can actually teach other black groups a lesson - you go to a monument, demand it being taken down, and leave without causing any damage. With them being armed but civil (not pointing guns at anyone), you get an impression of a serious and respectable group.

    Yeah. When they had the confrontation with the guy in the car they didn't point their guns at him. Seems more adult than blm children. Honestly.

    Do you have any comparable videos of a armed White supremacist militia march?

    And, if you can find one where the hundreds of marchers were shouting, "WHITE POWER!", that would be a plus.

    I have no idea. I don't know what CNN headlines normally look like. Who reads CNN? Much less hates them yet cares about how they headline articles.

    Are you joking? .

    Endorsing peoples right to march armed is not endorsing their message.

    I didn't ask if you were or weren't endorcing their "message".

    I ask you if you had any comparable videos of White people doing the same thing?

    How 'bout if you even know of any White people doing the same thing?
