YET, YET we have a Black woman, a victim, and all those thoughts disappear. "She shouldn't of...." "Why would she....." All the questions that mean nothing. The question should be, why did she have to die?
Misogynoir is something I'm always aware of, but with the recent death of Korryn Gaines, the scab of Black women disdaine has been plucked and I'm once again bleeding. I live in a world where people are blaming her for her own death. What adds salt to the wound is the reaction of some Black men. The men I speak up for daily, whose initial reaction is to question her actions before her death. Questions we never ask when it's an innocent Black man laying lifeless on the ground.
I have to stomach that I live in a world where a Black woman having a gun is questioned instead of why a simple warrant arrest snowballed into a swat team like operation? This is a lot for many Black women, we are in pain. In many ways we feel helpless, we're seriously all we got.
What feelings does Mysogynoir give you? Let us know in the comment section below!
