“When Black people try to stand their ground, in general, it is used against them. So that’s really what we have to change, but I also don’t think we should be given carte blanche to take other people’s lives.” Bestselling author, publisher, and professor Roxane Gay discusses her new, Everand exclusive, e-book, “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s Gun Problem.” She talks about her decision to buy a gun, why many other Black women and people of color choose gun ownership as a way of taking their defense into their own hands, and how the Second Amendment tends to go unrecognized when exercised by people who are not heterosexual cis white men. Gay also explains why she is excited about Kamala Harris’s new presidential bid. #DailyShow #RoxaneGay #MichaelKosta
