We cannot buy into the "perfect victim" narratives circulating about Christian Cooper. Yes, there is something satisfying about him being a Harvard grad who clearly contradicts racist stereotypes. But we should not have to be "extraordinary" to avoid being killed by the State.
Being black shouldn’t be exhausting, we shouldn’t have to live in fear that our black men, brothers, nephews, loved ones, & uncles won’t return home.
Yet, I want to encourage all black people that our lives matter, our experiences matter, & our voices matter.
