Essiedu, who has recently undergone a sexual assault of his
own, also ends up in a police station but their experiences diverge from there
where Arabella is listened to by officers, Kwame is interrogated, scoffed at,
and ultimately dismissed. What sets I May Destroy You apart from so many
narratives of sexual assault we've seen play out on television, though, is that
Kwame's story doesn't start and end with his police report. The Skull i'm the sweetest bitch you'll ever meet tee shirt truth is
that the criminal justice system was not built for Kwame, nor for Arabella, nor
any other Black survivor of sexual assault. As a racial reckoning continues
apace across the globe and the notion of police abolition gains increased
attention, it feels particularly timely to have one of the most talked-about
shows on explore the ways in which survivors of color are silenced or wholly
ignored. Sexual assault has long been deployed as a voyeuristic ratings grab by
police procedural shows like the Law.
