Fact-Check on Killer Mike's statement about the NRA helping a black man form a charter to defend against the Klan.
That's not entirely true.
NRA founded to fight KKK, black leader says
While the NRA did allow Robert F. Williams to create his own charter they did not do it to help him fight or defend against the KKK.
In fact his widow Mabel Williams stated: her husband altered the occupations of the members when applying for the NRA charter. Then added "I'm sure when we joined and the years after then, had they known we were a black group, they would have revoked our charter," she said.
Can you imagine the heat the NRA would've gotten if they helped a black man arm himself and fight against the klan???
Secondly, the NRA wanted both black men and klan memberships.
