Charlamagne Tha God Urges Blacks To Buy Guns For Use Against 'Vanilla ISIS'

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, the radio host urged African Americans to go out and exercise their second amendment - the right to bear arms - to protect themselves against 'white thugs.'

Charlamagne made the comments during a segment on the viral video that showed the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

Arbery, a black man, was jogging in his neighborhood in Georgia on February 23 when he was killed in a shooting after being chased by Gregory McMichael 64, and his son Travis McMichael 34.

A police report said the McMichaels mistook Arbery for a suspect in a string of neighborhood break-ins. A video of the chase and shooting was shared on social media and caused outrage.

In the two months since Arbery died, two district attorneys have recused themselves from the case over potential conflicts of interest. Gregory and Travis McMichael were ultimately arrested on Thursday in connection with Arbery's death. They were charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.

Charlamagne expressed condolences to Arbery's family before going on a provocative rant, ironically making a pro-second amendment argument.

Here is part of his comments:

I wish that brother had a gun on him while he was jogging to defend himself against those thugs, those goons, those terrorists. I call them vanilla ISIS. That’s what I call them. They hunted him down like he was a deer. I would tell my brothers and sisters to buy a legal firearm and learn how to use it to protect yourself and your family. I am, and I think when you are a black person in America, owning a legal firearm is a form of self-care. That’s my thoughts on that. I wish he had a gun on him while jogging. I would much rather see him in prison fighting for his freedom as opposed to being in a casket right now.

People should own legal firearms to defend against these kinds of attacks. That is what I said. Now, as far as the justice system, I don’t have in faith in the justice system. I see plenty of white people get off for killing unarmed black men in this country, so I don’t have any faith in the legal system. So, therefore, that is what I’m telling all of my brothers and sisters to buy yourself a legal firearm and learn how to use it to protect yourself against these kinds of threats. Second Amendment.
