About this listen
The program traced the origins of Black gun ownership to the post-slavery era, when Black Americans formed militias to protect their communities. It also examined historical uprisings, such as the Stono Rebellion and the German Coast Uprising, where enslaved Africans armed themselves to resist oppression.
The episode critiqued stereotypes that associate Black gun ownership with criminality while celebrating white gun culture as patriotic. It argued that these narratives undermine the legitimacy of Black self-defense
