A Black man just stood his ground in Nevada (which is a “stand your ground” state)

Impossible to tell form a 5 second clip where the confrontation was already in progress and the black guy already has his hand on the trigger. Depends on how it started and progressed to this point.
How do you know his hands are on the trigger? It's hidden from view as it's in his bag.

One fact we do have is that the black guy was actively walking AWAY from the white aggressor.

His hand is in the bag holding something prior to the shooting and it never moves until he pulls out the gun and fires. Pretty tough to not be holding it, grab it without looking and then fire accurately. What started the confrontation? Other news reports stated they are still looking for the gunman. Why did he run if it was self defense? Again, not enough info to make a determination either way.

You bring up ACCURACY?

It's pretty hard to have someone run up right in front of you to attack you and not be able to land a shot on him.

Pretty tough to pull a gun out of a bag that quickly and fire if your hand wasn't already on it. But for right now like I said, not enough info to figure what was happening.
 
Maybe he ran, because like the race-soldier Kyle Rittenhouse, he wasn't legally allowed to carry.

That's separate from him standing his ground though, right?

because the instant he pulled the gun from under his jacket he shot.
duh.
He will go to jail. Exactly like if he was white. Exactly.
And if this scene was reversed... you would be screaming about how a white guy shot a black guy.
We all know it.

You're assuming he's standing his ground. How do you know that without knowing how it started?
 
You are dumber than anyone thought if you think this has anything to do with stand your ground.
Describe what you understand the "Stand your ground" law means?

and how this differs from it.
1) You cannot be the aggressor.
2) You cannot be the one who started the confrontation
3) You cannot be engaged in a crime.

No one knows the answer to any of these things.
And he may very well have been engaged in a crime if he does not have a concealed carry permit or if there is signage prohibiting guns in that establishment.
Either way... you would have to be an idiot to assume this is stand your ground with just a few second clip of video
