  • Black people’s lives are treated with less sanctity and respect than white people’s. Images of violence done to black bodies is normalized and spread to justify further violence and spread fear. I’m not “trying to look away”, I’m trying to denormalize the murder of a black child.

    If this was a white child, their face would be blurred. This moment of fear and evil would be kept away from the public out of respect for the family. Their family wouldn’t need to fear stumbling across the photo of their last moment just so the public can learn about their dark society.

    Yes, we need to confront our dirty secrets, but that doesn’t conflict with the desire to respect the victims of brutality.
