Harris wanted to "make white women rethink interracial relationships"

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-targeting-blacks-stabbing-20170326-story.html

I'm seriously so infuriated I want to kill this piece of shit with my bare hands. And this is why I oppose the death penalty, because I feel that so intently right now and that's not a good thing.

White womanhood, once again, is used as the excuse for white male fragility.

and he's pissed that someone else is getting what he's owed.

I can't stop thinking about this case. It's so random and so horrible. I can't stop thinking about the man who was killed and his family.

Kill a black stranger and blame the women. I guess we should have seen that coming.

or cause them to do it to "protect" us. That was the excuse for many a lynching.

Black men are predators and women are things to be controlled. The violence that results is such a tragedy.

They are using the same line of reasoning in NC with the crazy bathroom bill. They argue that women need to be protected from trans predators, despite zero evidence that they exist. If there is violence in bathrooms, it is usually straight men assaulting trans people.

How is killing a black man going to change anything? What will do but put the perpetrator in prison for life, or the death penalty?

Of course, Dylan Roof was this brutally stupid and bigoted, too. Maybe I've answered my own questions.
