People are really just mad at the idea that a black person can stand up to whites

I have no stake in this, but this is not why people are mad. It is beneficial to put the effort into understanding where the other side comes from than arguing against the straw man you made in your head.

Racist losers are going to exploit shit. But a stab in the chest in response to a shoving isn’t proportional self defense. It is lethal force in response to non-lethal threat and was more violence than is necessary to neutralize an attacker. That means it is unlikely to be successfully argued as self-defense during the legal proceedings.

Idk, Daniel penny and George Zimmerman didn’t even need to be assaulted to “defend themselves” so I think we should be consistent with precedent!

Like the reality is that due to the circumstances of the case, Anthony is unlikely to win his case. But I anticipate that result is going to be attributed to racism when it happens.

George Zimmerman is a racist monster who should be in jail for life and Neely should have been charged. But those cases to not determine the result of this one.

This is why I think the reaction to this from a lot of people in the black community is more a product of backlash to a racist system rather than the circumstances of the case itself. You’re already putting it in the context of cases of unpunished violence against black people. It kind of reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial? Where someone who is guilty is still defended because of the racism of the system.
