, a 24-year-old white student, was found stabbed to death in the furniture store where she worked in a seemingly random atta. The killing instantly made national news and prompted police to announce a $250,000 reward for information mere days after. A suspect was arrested on January 19 after a bonafide manhunt.
Two years ago, as uprisings demanding justice for Black lives gripped the nation and the face of Breonna Taylor was emblazoned upon everything from magazine covers to t-shirts, many white people and institutions made promises never to look away from a social justice movement, especially one at the intersection of both race and gender, as they historically have.
Of course, this is part of a pattern spanning centuries, one that has come to increasing consciousness in the last decade. While we’re more aware than ever that the lives of Black women and femmesas that of a white woman or femme—particularly in the cases of death or tragic circumstance—very little has been done to change it on a legal or legislative level, and even less has been done to ensure that only “perfect” victims get a hashtag.
