Brittney Cooper is a self-described black feminist and associate professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University. She is outraged. Somehow, I think this might be a familiar state for her. Cooper teaches all the classes that no parent should waste their money on, classes that will do nothing for students after they graduate.
Dr. Cooper is upset because she believes people want to reopen the country in order to… wait for it… kill black people.
You see, it’s all a racist plot!
Her basic contention is that we are willing to re-open the country only because black people are disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
Black Lives Matter. Black Lives with hypertension, diabetes, and asthma matter. Fat Black Lives matter. All Black Lives matter.

I am saying some obvious things this morning because as a country we are too good at skipping over the audience and we might as well say this to people as often as we can. Fuck each and every Trump supporter. You all absolutely did this. You are to blame.

I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd to push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID.

Not only do white conservatives not care about Black life, but my most cynical negative read of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome this massive winnowing of Black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political power.

Isn’t she eloquent? Rutgers must be super proud of their f*ck-Trump professor. I’m sure she’s one of many who feel that way on campus.
Cooper is the of author Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower. Rage seems to be her specialty. She’s creating imaginary controversy with her tweets. There is definitely a legitimate debate to be had on the timing of lifting stay-at-home orders and how we should go about re-opening. This is a healthcare and economic issue though, not a racial issue.
Imagine what would happen to her whole career and worldview if racism was entirely eliminated. Her identity seems wrapped up in black victimhood.
Let me ask you, do you think more black people are being killed by the Wuhan virus, or are more suffering financially due to the shutdown? The answer is obvious.
It is ironic how much Dr. Cooper seems to care about black lives. How much do you want to bet that Dr. Cooper is pro-choice? How many black people has abortion wiped out from the US population? Do those black babies’ lives matter?
White conservatives do not desire the “winnowing of black folks.” White conservatives are pro-life and actually want to see every black baby born.
According to US Census data, blacks make up only 13 percent of the population, yet more than 30 percent of aborted babies are from black mothers.
“It is the number one killer of all African-Americans in the nation,” Leslie Monet, international director for the Church of God in Christ‘s (COGIC) Family Life Campaign told CBN News. “You can add cancer. You can add AIDS. You can add car accidents, homicides, crime, shooting. Name the gamut and put those together and it will not equal the amount of lives that we lose to abortion.”
Unborn black lives matter.
Dr. Cooper needs to get a grip and stop stirring up imaginary racism here.
