What if that Teenage Boy Shot first because he was afraid for his life - Would the Black Skinned Boy be found guilty of murder? Are 'Stand Your Ground' laws colorblind? Personally, I think not.
Should black people be reasonably afraid of white people given Stand
Your Ground laws and a frightening rise in white racial animus and
hostility in the Age of Obama?
The mainstream media will most certainly not ask if black men, when
faced with a threatening situation across the colorline, should shoot
white people first under the reasonable assumption that the latter means
them serious harm under the Stand Your Ground laws.
Black self-defense is the inevitable result of white violence.
Ultimately, Stand Your Ground laws may have a consequence that is very
different from the one imagined by its supporters on the White Right.
