      There's so much investment in the idea that, if you know your rights, you'll be protected. This clearly doesn't apply to people of color.

      Consider Sandra Bland's case specifically. She knew her rights, but they were alienable—as was her very humanity.

      For starters, Sandra Bland KNEW she was supposed to have the right to be able to express that she was irritated for getting pulled over.

      Sandra Bland also knew that she was supposed to be able to smoke a cigarette if she damn well pleased. She wasn't interfering with anyone.

      Sandra Bland also knew that she had the right to remains in her car, because she wasn't posing any threat to Trooper Encinia.

      Sandra Bland knew that Trooper Encinia had no right to arrest her—she made no arrest-able offense whatsoever.

      Sandra Bland knew hat she had the right to take legal action against Trooper Encinia, and told him she couldn't wait to see him in court.

      Sandra Bland knew all her rights, first as a black woman—a human being—and as a citizen of the United States. She expressed this knowledge.

      Sandra Bland articulated her legal entitlements as a free person in the U.S. Or, at least, what those entitlements are supposed to be.

          But knowing those rights means nothing for many people of color—and for black people in particular. Those rights can be vanished.

          The precedence for alienable rights is rooted in the Fugitive Slave Act. A person's skin color indicated the potential to suspend rights.

          For white people, these rights are just that: rights. For black people, these rights are conditional, and always subject to challenge.

          Maybe it's less about getting black people to know their rights—and more about getting everyone else to acknowledge black people have them.
