Angry, largely white, fully-armed militia folk point guns at law enforcement at Bundy ranch with no repercussions, but a mostly black crowd of unarmed protestors with their hands in the air in Ferguson, Mo. necessitate tear gas, rubber bullets, armored vehicles, and martial law.

White gun fetishists open carry AR-15s into big box stores and it’s their right, but a black man picks up a BB gun at Walmart, carries it up front, and is gunned down after a panicked shopper called 911 to report a black man with a gun.

Please. Lecture me about post-racial America.
