Eugene Robinson: My Sons Are ‘Often Guilty of Driving While Black, Standing While Black’

‘They are often guilty, young black men often guilty of driving while black, standing while black, walking while black so this is a very personal concern’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
ROBINSON: "I saw that piece on red state after my jaw came off the floor. I was actually encouraged. I was encouraged by that. I was also encouraged by somewhat lukewarm statement that came from the national rifle association about the Minnesota shooting, which essentially questioned whether Pilando Castile was killed for exercising the second amendment right to bear arms and there are conservatives getting it or understanding this idea of equal protection but I have to say as Michael said. This is personal. I am the father of two sons, right? They are often guilty, young black men often guilty of driving while black, standing while black, walking while black so this is a very personal concern."
