If it’s this difficult for black people to just be, imagine the barriers that prevent us from actually defending ourselves.
This raises some difficult but important questions:
Can black Americans exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms? Can they stand their ground? Can they claim self-defense in shooting someone who threatens them with physical harm? Does the castle doctrine, which grants a person the right to use deadly force to protect their home from an intruder, apply to them? |

What kind of attorney doesn't understand that fundamental rights aren't 'granted' by any 'doctrine?'
I've got news for Mr. Crump - David Koresh wasn't black. Randy Weaver wasn't black.
Making government atrocity racial is disingenuous.
Stop it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
