I'm an African-American man living in the Jim Crow South, and I'm looking to purchase a firearm for self defense. What sorts of restrictions or prohibitions on me doing this are there due to my race?

Additional but related question : I have heard gun control laws were originally designed because white politicians got scared of black people arming themselves to teeth for protection during 1960s and later. Is it true? How much did disarming black people factor in gun law restrictions
