Dynamo of Volition

When white people just refuse to understand that race is the most important factor in this scenario.

This would not have happened with a Black cop and a white student because that Black cop knows he would have been fired on the spot and possibly prosecuted.

This would not have happened with a white female because femininity for white women is a given and white girls are allowed to be fragile.

This could absolutely happen with a Black cop and a Black student, but only because law enforcement in this country is meant to uphold the balance of power attributed to whiteness along with the fact that there will always be Black people willing to throw their skinfolk under the bus for a pat on the head from the white establishment.

I wouldn’t be too bothered if the headline left out the race of the cop, but to ignore the race of the victim would be irresponsible journalism.  That video only exists because law enforcement exerts its power over Black bodies in a way that white people never have to experience on such scale or regularity.  The victim is Black.  Another young Black girl was slammed to the floor by a maniac in a badge.  Whether in a subdivision, at a pool, or in a classroom, Black children are not safe from bullies in uniform who see their very skin color as a threat and their every action as defiance worthy of brutal punishment.

The victim is Black.  The victim is almost always Black.  Keep reporting that the victim is Black.  If your white feelings are hurt that the headlines say the victim is Black, then you are willfully keeping your head in the sand and I have no time for that kind of ignorance.
