The fact that you called the topic dumb and from your response shows your level of comprehension. First the question was why I haven't seen enough African Americans in the sport? I was just trying to increase awareness and diversity in the sport... or maybe Im missing something and would like to know how others felt about it.White non Latino people make up 62% of the people in America. African American people make up 12%. There are 326,000,000 people in America. So roighly 202,000,000 white people, roughly 39,120,000 black people..USPSA has roughly 25,000 members. Obviously we can't track the non member stats.. so out of 326,000,000 only 25,000 of them shoot USPSA.
i think a pistol competitor is already rare regardless of color.
Why does it matter. This is the dumbest topic ive ever seen.
So from the looks of the thread it seems like everyone who has engaged in the discussion thought otherwise and didn't find a reason to demean the integrity of the question as you have done.
Bro if you have nothing positive to contribute, best to say nothing.
Trust me it isn't the dumbest topic you've ever seen.

Good to see a few AA chiming in, I almost thought I was alone but Im happy to know there are quite a few on this board, this gives me more confidence to go out there and compete. thanks for everyones comments.

As Gary has stated, the information is out there for anyone who has access. This sport is not for everyone regardless of background. How many of us have seen a new shooter show up at a match, have a good time, leave the range with a smile on their face ... and you never see them again? I've felt like a caged animal for the last 3 1/2 years not being able to safely compete in the shooting sports due to heart issues which we're still hoping to get ironed out, but I'll volunteer to set up an occasional classifier to help out. The people who want to get into this sport will get into it. All we can do is offer encouragement and information to those who dare to screw up the courage to simply ask.
Pray you get better man. God bless

Reaching out as informing.. I don't know how else to explain that, I don't think anyone is scared it's just that most are not well informed

This will get the thread locked I'm sure since it's a political opinion. Are not most blacks in America Democrats and therefore tend to be more on the liberal anti gun side of the equation?
I'm not sold on the cost part of it. I'm not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination and I still manage to shoot all I want. I'm not convinced all blacks are poor either.
Hey sarge not an opinion but merely a question, no one I know from my 33 years has been anti-gun but perception has been a serious issue on why AA haven't been able to grasp the sport.

I agree with you that it is rare to see an African American competing around me BUT all kinds of people shoot this sport.
The USPSA crowd is usually one of the nicest crowds. Always willing to help out.
Where are you located in TX? I am in Wichita Falls and have shot in a few areas of the state.
Don't worry about it man. Just go to a match and ask questions. No one will judge you buy your skin color in this sport.
On the lines of sterotypes keeping people away from the sport I have no idea. I have wondered a few times about why it's rare to see an AA at shooting events or at the local range.
It's kind of like seeing a AA cowboy. Rare but does happen.

I think the problem is that the sport hasn't reached out to minority gunowners and shooters, but some folks honestly may not know how to.
Perhaps me being an AA minority shooter I can find A way to bridge this gap and bring more young responsible people to the shooting sports.
Poverty isn't what limits us from doing it, we are just not well informed.
For example All the shooting literature I see, including magazines and television, can be divided into two types:
"Tactical" stuff & hunting stuff where the only people depicted are white Republican male type. lol. By the way not all AA are democrats.

I have always wondered why I haven’t seen many African Americans in the shooting sports? I'll come out right away with the fact that I am 33yr old Black mixed male, i'm an LE in Texas. I've enjoyed shooting as long as i can remember and also reload my own ammunition but I have never competed, and i just wanted to know if there were any on this forum that could give insight if there are actually any AA competitors. I actually live in a decent area were racism isn't as prevalent . But do you think that the common "Stereotypes" for African-Americans would tend to keep them away from the shooting sports along with other ethnic groups. Thanks in advance hoe i didn't offend anyone.
Anyone have a picture of the M3K with a +5 MOA extension?
