"Daniels notes
that contemporary examples of the defense of white womanhood look
horribly similar to the murder of Rubin Stacy [In 1935]. She points to the 2013
shooting of Jonathan Ferrell in Charlotte, North Carolina as an example.
After crashing his car, Ferrell extricated himself, and knocked on the
door of the first house he came upon, to ask for help—as any of us might
do in such a situation. “A white woman, thinking it was her husband
knocking, answered,” Daniels writes. “When she saw Ferrell she shut the
door, hit her alarm and called the police. Ferrell, who was unarmed, was
shot ten times by a Charlotte police officer.”
Another shooting massacre has happened in America and the internet is filled with opinions. Most of them are (thankfully) rational discussions on how these occurrences can be stopped. They touch on racism, feminism, mental health and legal powers. Terrifyingly, these reports don't shock me.
