Talk:Robert F. Williams

message: 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)

message: "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?

thread_title:  Just poorly written 

message: 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."

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Very poorly written 

message: 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)
