an odd contrast

In­ter­net de­bate about Or­ange is the New Black and whether or not it is trau­ma porn for white view­ers. Not ex­cus­ing its prob­lems, a show at base about hu­man­iz­ing pris­on­ers and tak­ing the for-prof­it prison mod­el to task in a pub­lic, di­gestible manner.

Com­plete white dis­missal of the voic­es of poc, main­ly black, reg­u­lar­ly re­quest­ing that the ev­i­dence videos/snuff films of po­lice mur­der­ing civil­ians, main­ly black, con­sis­tent­ly black, sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly black, not be passed around and sen­sa­tion­al­ized through me­dia. Videos that out­rage those who al­ready know it’s all fucked, videos that don’t re­sult in change, videos dis­missed and mocked by white supremacists.

Look.
The street is not a court­room, and peo­ple should not be tried and giv­en the death penal­ty on it. Sim­i­lar­ly, so­cial me­dia is not a court­room, and we shouldn’t be here shar­ing videos and an­a­lyz­ing the vi­o­lence to prove its trueness.

It’s a de­sen­si­ti­za­tion of vi­o­lence. It’s an un­fair bur­den of proof on sur­vivors of vi­o­lence. It’s a con­stant in­va­sive trig­ger for sur­vivors of sys­tem­at­ic vi­o­lence. And what more, if at this stage of the game, you need proof that these peo­ple aren’t de­serv­ing to die, the prob­lem lies not in the proof.
