Brittany Packnett Instagram – This sadly reminds me of the piece I wrote about Jordan Neely for @thecut called “The Cost of White Discomfort.” 

Nearly a year ago on those pages, I said, “White supremacy gleefully uses violence as both a cudgel and a cautionary tale. Its true patriots get their hands dirty, meting out violence with the blessing of those with more sensitive stomachs.“

In America, the police are used both as a tool of the government and of the privileged. For the latter, police are the line of defense between “us” and “them,” who perform the dirty work of white supremacy culture while they rack up numbers of “acceptable losses.” Who the individual officer is doesn’t matter, nor does their background, gender, race or zip code. They are very simply performing their duty.

And today, on the 4th anniversary of the murder of #BreonnaTaylor, I am clear that Ryan deserved to live. That is the only justice.

Ryan Gainer should be here. 
Neurodivergence shouldn’t be a death sentence.
Autism shouldn’t be a death sentence.

More must be done. So much more.
Brittany Packnett Instagram – so listen… I’m truly not interested in arguing with folks about this. I *am* interested in conversations about Black American identity. 

For *me,* I saw reclamation immediately.

I saw Langton Hughes’ “I, Too, Sing America.” Marian Anderson at the Lincoln Memorial. Memorial Day actually being founded in part by freed Black people. 
I saw my ancestors, James and Ebenezer, joining the US Colored Troops in the civil war, fighting and dying not just for their freedom but to free the soul of a nation* from the tyranny of oppression—a fight we continue to this day. And I think often about if I’ve allowed white supremacy to diminish what that flag may or may not have meant to them.

A Black American’s relationship with the USA is individual and complicated—and I ask, to whom does the shame belong? 

I think, in her very unusual turn of giving us paragraphs for a caption where she normally gives us air (lol), this is what she was expressing regarding *her* intentions. That’s what I read, anyway.

AND. (Not but!) 

I know that it was actually triggering for others, and that is more than justified.

Especially in the context of what this government has done & is doing across the world in our names.  Palestine is but one example. The current unrest in multiple Black countries can absolutely be traced back to American (and euro) colonialism and industry, to say nothing of Indigenous sovereignty right here on Turtle Island.

I read this as a Black church girl from heartland America. And a Black girl who grew up right next to me might have seen something totally different. 

Which leads me to my hope, as stated in the threads shared above. Black American identity is COMPLEX and filled with enough to reflect on for a lifetime. 

But it is rare, at least in my view, to see Black Americans get the space to grapple with this in ways that aren’t either judged harshly or co-opted by xenophobes with Tr*mp ties. 

And if you, like me, are a Black American, descended of enslaved Africans, watching this conversation and wondering where you land: it’s ok to take this as an invitation to feel and journey without judgment. 

We deserve that. 

Love y’all, fam.
