We are not supposed to notice.
Those who do are immediately vilified as “racist.”
Meanwhile, we are supposed to celebrate every trivial achievement an individual who happened to be melanin-enhanced who was the first individual of color to accomplish a feat long ago established not just a white individual, but replicated again and again and again by white people.
But our society is said to be dominated by white privilege, structural inequality, implicit bias, and the historical legacy of slavery, where the daunting reminder of roads, schools, and streets (not to mention monuments) named after or honoring Confederate soldiers unites in suppressing little black boys and girls.
But for a little white girl to be murdered by a black individual is hardly newsworthy of covering or immediately cause for condemnation of all black people in this affair (as we saw the fentanyl overdose of George Floyd instantly create in castigating all white people for the death of this “innocent” black individual).
In fact, it’s hardly news locally where it happened.
Her Name is Lucia Whalen Bremer. She was a white girl murdered by a black juvenile.
Her life mattered, too. But because she is white, the corporate press found no value in publicizing how she died or who murdered her, because the culprit's deed was not advantageous in promoting an agenda. An anti-white agenda…
Teenage boy is charged with murder of eighth-grade girl who was shot multiple times in Virginia, Daily Mail, March 28, 2021
A teenage boy has been arrested in connection with a shooting that killed an eighth grade girl in Virginia, after a day-long manhunt.
Loved ones identified the victim as Lucia Whalen Bremer, an eighth-grade student at the Quioccasin Middle School in Richmond.
She was shot multiple times on Friday afternoon at the Gayton Forest West subdivision and died at an area hospital soon after.
Police said the suspected shooter fled the scene immediately after opening fire and was arrested on Saturday afternoon about a half-mile away.
His name has not been released due to his age but he is said to be facing charges including second-degree homicide, possession of a firearm by juvenile, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to the Henrico Citizen.
Bremer’s family, who run a local produce business called Liberty Tree Farm, announced her death in a Facebook statement on Saturday.
‘Liberty Tree Farm is saddened to report that our beloved daughter and joyful farmer, Lucia Whalen Bremer, was killed in a senseless act of gun violence on March 26,’ the post read.
‘Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts as we navigate the next few weeks.’
Henrico County Public Schools posted a photo of the slain student and said the community was ‘heartbroken and devastated’.
Quioccasin Middle School Principal Melanie Phipps released a heartfelt statement remembering Bremer.
‘Lucia was funny. She loved to tell jokes and made people laugh. She was an amazing public speaker, and you would just listen in awe as she spoke. Lucia was wise beyond her years. Talking to her didn’t feel like talking to a middle schooler,’ Phipps wrote.
‘Lucia was exceptional; truly one-of-a-kind. She was brave, hardworking, and kind to everyone. Her smile would light up the entire room.
‘In fact, her mother told me that Lucia’s name means “light”, which is just the perfect way to describe her. She radiated happiness, and she loved our school.’
Phipps said the school was preparing to hold a vigil for Bremer on Sunday. Attendees were urged to wear gray and white, which the principal said were two of Bremer’s favorite colors.
‘Our school will have an additional police presence on Monday, which we appreciate to ensure that everyone feels safe on what we know will be a most difficult day,’ Phipps wrote.
Friday’s shooting shocked the Richmond community and forced a nearby high school into lockdown.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear and anyone with information is urged to contact the Henrico County Police at 804-501-5794.
Police previously described the suspect as a younger black male who is 5’8″ and 125lbs.
Her Name is Lucia Whalen Bremer. She was a white girl murdered by a black juvenile.
Keep lecturing about white privilege.
Keep lecturing about white supremacy.
Keep lecturing about implicit bias, structural inequality, and the historical legacy.
If any of this existed, every white person in America would know a black male murdered Lucia Whalen Bremer.
But none of it does. Hence, few people know how Lucia Whalen Bremer lost her life.
RIP, Lucia. Your live mattered, even if we aren’t supposed to notice who took it.
