if you re an african-american victim, and a stand your ground state, the chances of the shooter being acquitted are higher than if you are a white victim. again, it s another argument, it s another piece of evidence that shows the self defense argument generally is not a very strong argument. we have you know, 11, 12,000 homicides in this country every year. only 2% are self defense homicides. it just doesn t hold water. goldie, this is a neighborhood in which 90% almost 90% of residents are white. what part do you believe this form of american apartheid plays, and do you think that things would have turned out differently if renisha mcbride had been a white woman in a predominantly white area? you know, there is no way to know specifically. but what we do know is that detroit, like st. louis, like chicago, like atlanta, like many of our american cities, are among the most segregated around. and so you don t have a lot of people who are black and white
