For me, Lynch, Sherman and black men and women like them represent active resistance to these subtle microaggressions, which are ensconced in white supremacy. They do not pander to, coddle or center whiteness in their media interactions and it is their radical sense of agency that unnerves some (read: white) people. It unsettles their latent sense of entitlement, driving them to scream “thug” — the same way that slave masters screamed “nigger.” It’s a reflexive response to black autonomy, marking those bodies as sites of terror.
This is a great read.
