Name by name, the threat of death comes closer and closer: Agatha Félix, João Pedro and now Kathlen Romeu, 24, a 04-month pregnant woman was murdered by the bullet addressed by the Brazilian state that kills black bodies. In police operations there are no stray bullets.
Genocide is a symbolic project that is improving its methods.
Rio de Janeiro has become an open-air laboratory of necropolitics, where the control of who lives and who dies is managed by the State through police operations that shoot innocent bodies with the thirst of those who want to shoot at war. if you are a child, parent or pregnant woman.
The threat of a stray bullet is a sign that you are not safe in the Brazilian state for black and suburban people because they never been find democracy. Unlike they live in a because Exception of State which involves fear, disorder and insecurity for them.
The nightmare of seeing Kathlen Romeu, daughter, wife, pregnant woman and interior designer, murdered at the age of 24 with all her dreams interrupted is a way for the State to emphasize that they aren't concerned about building racial democracy.
How do you sleep at night with that lump in your throat? Feeling that sense of inadequacy?
Every time the State murders a black person, death is collective because with a story, a generation also dies.
