Schalk argues that the use of victim in the Black Panther in reference to Lomax and his multiple sclerosis seem to indicate some latent ableist beliefs in the BPP, despite the fact that Lomax was supported and respected as a member. Victim in disability studies is typically interpreted as implying one is always suffering from a disability. However, Schalk asks us to look at the word victim in the context of disabling racial violence, and how the Black Panther may have been using the word 'victim' in relation to Lomax as a disabled person of color to show how marginalized people are subject to violence in was that disable their bodyminds. Schalk argues that we should in interpretating potentially ableist language be mindful of the nuance of how Black disability politics may diverge at times from the hegemonic approaches to disability politics that come from people who are less likely to be disabled through state violence and neglect.
