Actor Danny Glover tells students 2nd Amendment was created to protect slavery
The Constitution's Second Amendment was created to bolster slavery and capture land from Native Americans, award winning actor Danny Glover told a group of students at a Texas A&M sponsored event on Thursday.

Actor Danny Glover told students at Texas A&M University the intent of the Second Amendment was to protect slavery.
"I don't know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms," he said. "The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans."

"A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that's what the genesis of the second amendment is," he continued.
"It used to be in the Federalist Papers but they took it out for fear people like us would find out!"
Glover, best known for roles in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise and "Angels in the Outfield," was addressing students at an event being held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Director of Texas A&M's Memorial Student Center, Luke Altendorf, told Campus Reform on Friday that the university was unaware of Glover' talking points prior to his speech.

#3 Strange that folks still expect actors to be in the know, or consider them as an expert lending any credence to anything.
Why do schools even allow them to be in this position? It's a disservice to the students. The school allowing this is just as bad.

#6 Yes, Danny is a good little slave for his inhuman liberal masters. I'm tired of being 'nice' and 'polite' to such people. Way past time to call them what they are. Slavers, worshipers of child sacrifice and soulless liars who lie even to themselves so much that even reality can't bitchslap them into seeing the world as it is.

#7 If my memory of American history is correct, firearms were used to FREE the slaves from oppression.

#9 Just a slice:

Last December 29, marked the 122nd... Anniversary of the death of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. These 297 people, in their winter camp, were shot by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to ......confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection”.

#11 The mediocre actor who spends photo ops with Castro and Hugo* couldn't waste the time to read Justice Clarence Thomas' written opinion on gun control that actually documented the history of gun control which was employed to disarm the blacks in the south. Of course Danny is a certified member of the tribe whiie Justice Thomas is not and therefore far more qualified to speak on any subject. /sarc off

* noted big gun grabbers, wonder why?

#17 Someone was asking a question about activism, I think that’s where some of that came from.

Questioner: Mr. Glover, how can we exploit the tragedy of the senseless killing of children to advance our cause?

Glover: Good question comrade – divide and conquer. It’s right there in the manifesto. The key is to convince enough of the gullible Yankee dogs to question the validity of their imperialist institutions…including their very Constitution itself. It also helps to throw race into the mix for good measures. Workers unite!

#19 All actors are dangerous, one killed Lincoln.

If acting is reality, glover is a woman beater.

Seriously, some real history: Beecher's Bibles. Your welcome key to Kansas is revoked, even the twerps schooling in Berkley-on-Kaw know better. Damned liar.

#20 Meanwhile the boys buried at Shiloh, Fredericksburg, Andersonville & Petersburg are never asked for their opinions on the matter.
