about people of color. These SYG laws allow that fear to overcome common sense and ethics and allow the murder of those that "scare" us.

It's not going to be long before the opposite case is made violently. Some African American or Latino will kill a white T bagger. We'll see how these laws are applied then. In fact and unfortunately, this will probably be the route to repeal of these laws. If a few black folk legally get off for the killing of a good ole boy, the Republicans will either repeal the law or try to make them "color" proof.
