"it is a legal strategy which exposes environmental hardships to explain why a person commits a crime."

BTW-wikipedia is an interesting site, but no one should ever rely on its explanations as being factual.

I found this reference site.

Possibly the most ridiculous criminal defense ever invented, right next to the "sugar rush" defense for murder. Colin Ferguson should have been charged with a hate crime, since he had extensive personal writings in his possession expressing hatred for white people (as well as Asians and other groups) when he committed the subway shootings.

why cant you use wikipedia?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_rage_(law)

cut and paste:
In the USA, black rage refers to a purported psychological phenomena and innovative defense proposed, but not used, for the 1994 Colin Ferguson mass murder trial. Ferguson's lawyers argued that he should not be held criminally liable, for actions which broke the law, because he was overcome with rage by his perceived society's racist discrimination against black people. Ferguson rejected the advice of his lawyer and represented himself, arguing instead that he was completely innocent; he was found guilty and imprisoned.

Black rage was first proposed by black psychologists William Henry Grier and Price Cobbs in their book Black Rage (ISBN 1579103499). Grier and Cobbs argue that black people living in a racist, white supremacist society are psychologically damaged by the effects of racist oppression. This damage causes black people to act abnormally in certain situations.

William Grier is the father of comedian David Alan Grier.

Colloquially, black rage can simply mean an outburst of a black person when he feels racially threatened

I have heard of rage defenses...I suppose it would be similar with a focus on ethnicity.

What does this have to do with politics?

It means if you're speaking at a comic book convention, you can get mad if somebody asks you "What's a nubian?"
