Racism is still alive and still problematic in America. Your friends' sentiments are solid evidence of this.
My reckoning based on being around here for almost 4 years is that OC is almost entirely a "white thing," as your title suggests. If it is, that doesn't make it bad. But it does make it, uhm, deficient...
Y'know this reminds me of something I've thought about for a long time--What would happen if a significant number of blacks and Hispanic males living in the barrio/hood/ghetto in states where OC is legal all of a sudden started to OC? I'm talking about legal OC, of course.
How would the local populace react? The police? The news media? The local gangsta-types? The legislators?
I think it would be very interesting.
But however it would turn out, I agree with you--We need more blacks and Hispanics to open carry. Our goal should be to have about 26% of all OC to be done by blacks/Hispanics.
Whaddya think, guys?
So what your saying is, there needs to be some kind of quota. Where did you come up with the 26% figure ? Furthermore, as for some blacks starting their own OC thing, what's preventing them from doing so. Then what would all of you bleeding hearts say then. . . huh ??? Would a single white guy come out and say, "why are there no whites in your group, is it an all black thing". I think not.
