Roxane Gay Stands Her Ground: Gun Violence and Ownership as a Black Feminist Issue
Manage episode 432546434 series 2595753
There are more guns than people in the United States. About half of the guns in the world are owned by Americans. About 45,000 Americans die from gunshot wounds each year, and more than 100,000 survive shootings. We view guns as inherently masculine, and there is distinct racial coding in how we perceive guns and gun use in this country. Still the fastest growing demographic of gun owners is women, and Black women in particular. In a new essay on the Everand platform called “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s gun Problem”, Roxane Gay unpacks gun culture and gun ownership in America from a Black feminist perspective.
