Stand Your Ground is there for gun owners who weren’t defending themselves, who cannot prove that their actions were reasonable, but who nonetheless felt scared or intimidated. Scared or intimidated by Black people, of course. Stand Your Ground is here, most of all, to justify white men who kill Black people. The law makes no sense, as a legal concept, unless you appreciate how frightened white guys are of Black people and how justified they feel they are when they kill us for daring to exist in the same country as they do.
