A poignant post by alexandraerin:

For Our Protection

The way that Black bloggers who talk about race are expected to be mindful about not triggering the people who keep coming at them and keep arguments with them going while not having a single thought given about their mental and emotional health in the midst of this…I just can’t help seeing a parallel between that and the way that Stand Your Ground laws are interpreted and enforced. We create or co-opt structures — laws, manners, social conventions — for our protection, and we use them to defend ourselves, or even to attack, but we won’t tolerate them being used against us, or even in the defense of others.
