Why they’re not saying Ma’Khia Bryant’s name

The 16-year-old Black girl could never be the "perfect victim."

After watching 15 seconds of police body camera footage last week, viewers of various races and political affiliations had made a decision: 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was “the aggressor” — the “fat,” “huge,” “knife-wielding attacker” and “maniac” who deserved to be fatally shot by the police on April 20 in Columbus, Ohio.

According to these viewers, Nicholas Reardon, the police officer who immediately shot and killed Bryant, who was holding a knife, was justified. That she was a teenager in the middle of an altercation, in which she was presumed to be defending herself, did not matter.

Treva Lindsey, a professor of African American women’s history at Ohio State University, told Vox that there are those who won’t see Bryant as a victim but as someone who brought this on herself. And even for those who do see her as a victim, they’ll still victim-blame, erasing the systemic oppression — including that Black children are far more likely to be in foster care than their white counterparts, and kids in foster care are often exposed to high levels of violence — that brought her to being killed at the hands of the police.

“People will say ‘I’m really sad this whole scenario happened, but had she not had that knife …’ That becomes the ‘but,’ the qualifier, the caveat. And too often we have a caveat when it comes to defending, protecting, and caring for Black girls,” Lindsey said.

THE TTOPBOHL WEDDING HAS BEEN POSTED!

Lordy Jesus!

I feel like I gave Klaus way too much power... Lol

But it's finally happening!!!

After all this time, IT'S HERE!

Dear Friends,

My family in Northern Gaza is enduring severe hardship. With power and communication outages, they face darkness and isolation. They struggle daily with a shortage of food, vegetables, and safe drinking water. Long waits in water queues and diseases from contaminated water are part of their daily reality.

Hospitals have been destroyed, and they now live in tents under the harsh summer heat. My siblings, once top students, are now focused on finding basic necessities instead of their studies, which adds to their suffering.

Seeing their gaunt faces and the brutal scenes they witness daily is heart-wrenching. I wonder: Will the children of Gaza ever escape these horrors?

Thanks to your generous support, we've raised €6,513 of our €50,000 goal, covering the initial coordination for my younger brother. I’m deeply grateful for your contributions and help in spreading the campaign. However, we still need to secure the rest of the family.

Our next goal is to raise an additional €3,487 by the end of this week to reach a total of €10,000. This amount will cover the costs for both my younger brother and sister.
