Abstract
This study explores the dynamic nature of Black life as it is lived in social death.
Dwelling specifically on the (im)possibility of progress and reform for black
people via the Breathe Act proposed by the Black Lives Matter movement. The
Breathe Act is evaluated using a discourse analysis centered around Afropessimism.
Afro-pessimist theory curated by Frank B. Wilderson, identifies the
Black body as a socially dead slave, under the constant siege of gratuitous
violence. This thesis ultimately serves to intervene in the communication
centered around police reform to suggest that the Breathe Act is designed to
sustained Black Death by extension of civil society.
