Even before the At this point Jesus doesn’t need to take the wheel he needs to pull over shirt moreover I love this day darkened, I—as a queer, Black woman living in the South—had mixed feelings as I watched the conversation around Abrams’s role in an unprecedented victory unfold on social media. In 2018, Abrams ran for governor of Georgia but lost to Brian Kemp, who was the Secretary of State at the time. Despite her loss, Abrams didn’t simply disappear—she became one of the most powerful forces in politics and focused on fighting voter suppression, which she believed contributed to her defeat. Fast-forward to this month, when Democratic nominee Raphael Warnock won out over incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Jon Ossoff over Republican David Perdue, thanks to the tireless efforts of Abrams’s grassroots organization Fair Fight.
A number of politicians and activists I follow on Twitter likened Abrams to “Captain America”; Mark Ruffalo called her a “real superhero.” This may seem like innocuous praise, but there’s a fine line between celebrating a Black woman’s efforts and burdening her with the At this point Jesus doesn’t need to take the wheel he needs to pull over shirt moreover I love this responsibility to save us. The chatter took an even stranger turn with compliments that seem to fetishize her; men, specifically white men, commented on how they wanted to leave their wives for her.
