black scholar named Achille Mbembe "necropolitics™ @its ray”

 


“In 2003 a black scholar named Achille Mbembe became the first person to look in depth at a term called "necropolitics”  (@its ray” TikTok)


Tay describes necropolitucs as a Socio-cultural or political parameters that dictate who lives and who must die and how we as a society relates. I specifically gear towards to the murdered & missing indigenous girls & indigenous women cases. It's like they wanted indigenous girls to either turn up dead or not turn up at all. (Example the Winnipeg landfill) As is the case with so many indigenous girls in the systemic foster care in Canada. These cases are never gets coverage when an indigenous girl goes missing.  There are 2 constructs regarding indigenous girls in Canada.  Example 231 Calls for Justice budgeted with a 2 billion dollar plan. Indigenous girls being cared for in foster homes is one of the Calls for Justice,  & the expectations they’re cared for so they don’t end up as victims of human trafficking. Yet, since 2019 very little was done. We think there’s little improvements since 2006 when Nathan Chasing Horse came into my community. I’ve talked about the indigenous girls Nathan Chasing Horse trafficked. This is a specific case as it being one that has garnered national and international attention. Thousand of indigenous girls & indigenous women go missing every year. Yes, all women of color are in this same colonial mindset; however, since this blog focuses on Nathan’s victims who were specifically indigenous. We’ll discuss the lack of care and consideration in the cruel reality of that social & cultural  construct where our girls go missing.  It’s expected that she’ll be found victimized & brutalized in a sex trafficked ring or cult. This is society’s expectation set for hundreds of years, not just this year. The second notion is whatever happens if the girl is found safe & happy. Whether or not we as a society wishes to believe it or not there are a lot of sociology-cultural expectations in the ways indigenous girls die.  Whether the girls are victims or perpetrators of that criminality there’s negative responses for every positive outcome. Society expects the indigenous girl to be found dead. They thought that they would find her dead or brutalized. As bounties were placed on indigenous girls & indigenous women scalps. They kind of seem like they wanted that brutal ending of one’s life to continue. It’s society’s expectations of what would happen & not ever was that person to be found safe and sound. Whether they are the victims or perpetrators contributing factor are in play as to why people are looking at it (the case of Nathan Chasing Horse) with such curiosity. With cases were bodies found makes this case have some suspicion. Because they were never meant to be found whether alive rather dead. A cultural paradigms or shift is that we like to believe society is not there but are expectations with no happy outcomes is to be expected. This leads me to believe that Nathan Chasing Horse could go free. As society’s expectations were to find his victims brutalized or dead. Let’s hope reality of his cruelty towards indigenous girl’s & indigenous women is felt and that he gets the maximum sentence of life in prison. Let’s hope society sees the trail of broken families he created by victimizing their daughters, sisters, aunties, mothers and grandmothers. He is a monster. He is plastic!
