I will challenge anyone who disagrees with brother Williams being (dubbed the Negro Che Guevara), this appears on the issue of a magazine I admit having difficulty to name. Please contact Dr. Akinyele Umoja Professor of African American Studies @ Georgia State University 404-651-2157
I don't know anything about this subject but it is blantantly POV... e.g. the part where he takes the white couple into the house as Southern hospitality... I don't know anything of the event but I suspect that there are two sides to that story. If I knew how to put on the POV tag I would 01:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)djheart 01:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
The article is clearly written in a subjective manner. The lack of citations is striking. There's no way of telling what, if anything, is fact. The assertion that the NRA blessed Williams (again, without any citation) is just one element here that should throw up an obvious red flag. Forward Thinkers ( talk) 19:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Carlton Cramer, "The Racist Roots of Gun Control" , 1993; and other documents linked to from Bruce A Clark, Old Yankee . com >> "The Rightto Keep and Beaer Arms" ; including: National Rifle Association, Institute for Legislative Action, "The Racist History of Handgun Bans in America" , from which I excerpt the following:
Jack Hunter of the Charleston City Paper goes so far as to embrace Williams as a fellow "Southern conservative." ( "Robert F Williams and the Second Ammendment" )
Now if you still don't think that Williams could have been supported by the NRA, check this out: it appears that they didn't just support him, he was a member.
I've removed the fact and POV tags (and the reference tag). The main claim which seemed to set djheart (01:46, 16 June 2008) has a citation. As such, I'd now expect evidence, not merely an assertion, of POV before we fly the POV tag again. -- Tagishsimon (talk) 09:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Maybe it is true he was singled out for special treatment during the Cultural Revolution, but wouldn't it be nice to have any source for this strange Chinese behavior?-- Radh ( talk) 08:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

"at a time when gun ownership was fairly common in the South"
When has gun ownership not been fairly common in the South?
And I see that the National Rifle Association involvement has fallen out. Is there any particular reason? jdege ( talk) 04:37, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
There is a page for General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket." It has a nice image with the original cover art.
This book was no less influential. It would be nice to see a similar page for "Negroes with Guns."

In Can Negros afford to be Pacifists, Williams writes of being one of the few blacks in a USMC unit in 1954. Clearly, there are some chunks of bio missing here. Anmccaff ( talk) 18:05, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

This article is written in an extremely poor manner, and hardly any of the sources are cited. Also, the segment at the beginning describing the events leading to his exile seems needless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.5.37.10 ( talk) 20:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
The article says the FBI persuaded the couple held hostage by Williams to claim they were kidnapped. Actually they were kidnapped. The FBI agents on site did not even know about the hostage-taking until they were told by Chief Mauney of the Monroe Police Department. I was there, a reporter for the Associated Press. Williams had called Mauney and told him the hostages would be set free if Mauney would release freedom riders who had been arrested that afternoon. Mauney refused. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. G. Bruce Stegall of nearby Marshville, N.C., were eventually released unharmed. 2603:6081:7840:3:915:9C07:6E41:4E38 ( talk) 19:11, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
