> Family says fatal shooting case shows ‘stand your ground’
defense doesn’t work for Black men
>
> William “Marc” Wilson was recently convicted of involuntary
manslaughter for a shooting that he says was in self-defense
against a racist attack on a Georgia highway, and his family and
lawyers say the case reveals a racial double standard for “stand
your ground” laws.
>
> “If you put me in Marc’s shoes, there’s no way that I would've
been prosecuted,” Wilson’s cousin, Chance Pridgen, who is white,
told Yahoo News. “Odds are I would've been given a medal —
probably gotten a parade in my name. It’s unreal how he was
treated just because he’s a little bit more tan than I am.”
> ...
> The case against Wilson was closely watched by legal experts
and civil rights advocates who have long criticized the use of
“stand your ground” laws as racist. Perhaps the most
high-profile case was the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin, an
unarmed Black teen. George Zimmerman, who killed Martin,
successfully argued that the use of force was justified under
Florida’s self-defense laws.
>
> Studies have found a significant racial disparity in whether
homicides are deemed justified based on the race of the shooter
and the person shot. A 2020 study by the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights said​​ "white-on-black homicides have
justifiable findings 33 percentage points more often than
black-on-white homicides,” with “stand your ground” laws
exacerbating that disparity.
>
> “This case, among so many others, highlights the urgency in
why Georgia must address the racial disparity in Stand Your
Ground claims,” James Woodall, a public policy associate with
the Southern Center for Human Rights, said in a statement to
Yahoo News. “It is troubling that people continue to have to
defend themselves against violent behavior, only to be further
criminalized by an unjust legal system.”
> ...
> CJ Jenkins, an organizer and JustGeorgia coalition member who
has been working as a liaison between the Statesboro community
and Wilson’s legal team, says the facts of the case were on the
defendant’s side.
>
> “[The teens] admitted to hiding evidence. They admitted to
being intoxicated,” Jenkins told Yahoo News.

Maybe it's because Wilson didn't do this in court?

If the aim is purely to clear the backlog, then why not in the
same decision offer automatic recognition to the earlier
arrivals also? We all know why not.

Let me preface this by saying there is nothing romantic about
this restaurant. It looks like this:
HTML https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/568452dd7fd9a58978b7db4c/master/w_1920%2Cc_limit/most-romantic-restaurants-005.jpg
With that said:
--- Quote ---
> One if by Land, Two if by Sea, considered one of the most
romantic restaurants in the world, is now under fire after a
TikTok user accused the establishment of racially discriminating
"against non-white people — particularly Asians."
>
> TikTok user Annie (@rokug4n) called out One if by Land, Two if
by Sea in a recent post. She says in her video that she and her
boyfriend recently had a date at the restaurant and were seated
on the second floor, or mezzanine. During their meal, she
noticed that most of the people around them were purportedly
Asian.
>
> “I'm going to preface this by saying, I have no issue dining
with other Asian people, other Chinese people, I don’t care.
What I do care about, and have an issue with, is people of color
being separated from white people by white people in higher-end
establishments,” she says.
>
> Annie then highlights the difference in ambiance between that
of the first floor and that of the mezzanine, pointing out that
the first floor, where the white diners are purportedly usually
seated, has chandeliers, high ceilings, huge windows, mosaics
and plenty of natural lighting. She claims that the second
floor, which has two small windows, is not as well lit. It also
does not have a piano and a bar.
>
> “The unfortunate truth is that racial discrimination in
higher-end spaces is not a new phenomenon,” she says. “What is
unfortunate is that One if by Land, Two if by Sea has been
racially discriminatory for so long.”
>
> Annie also points out that “so many Asian foodies are paying
hundreds of dollars to this restaurant and getting racially
discriminated against.”
--- End Quote ---
All I will say is that the restaurant's ethics matches its
aesthetics.
Also, a useful comment points out a fundamental asymmetry:
--- Quote ---
> As a white guy living in China, managers love to seat me by a
window so that passersby will think that the restaurant is
high-class and high quality
--- End Quote ---
Other woke comments:
--- Quote ---
> whit folks are most luckiest in non whit places. They are
looked upon as gods , beauty in itself and even get random
invites for ads and posters so companies can show off their
products are good with westerners who value beauty and quality.
now in a white country i have to beg to get my kid photographed
in a community or school event. even if schools have 20-30%
smart ass as.an kids , its the whit kids who get showcased as
though they are high quality humans ..
