Similarly hysterical cries of "RACISM" were shouted when Louisiana passed their "Shoot A Burglar" law, oh, it must be a couple of decades ago by now. I saw a "debate" on TV between one of the bill's authors and a lady from, IIRC, the NAACP.
Black lady: "Black people will be killed in great numbers!"
White guy: "You've said black people are victims of crime more often than white people. This law protects them, too. You should support it."
Black lady: "But more blacks will be killed!"
White guy: "Are you saying blacks commit more crimes? That sounds pretty racist."
Black lady: "Well, what if a black man is driving through a white neighborhood at night, has car trouble, and knocks on a door for help? He'll be shot under this law!"
White guy: "It's the shoot a BURGLAR law - nobody can shoot someone under this law just for knocking on their door or ringing the doorbell, regardless of the hour!"
Black lady: "Well, suppose there's no answer, so to get to a phone he breaks a window and climbs in - the homeowner can shoot him then!"
White guy: "If there's no answer at the door and he breaks in rather than trying the next house, he IS a burglar then, isn't he?"
