The racist threats and insults against the parliamentarian Talíria Petrone, in the exercise of her mandate, express the specificity of the risks of illness and death that black women face in the institutional politics. Based on the recognition of this phenomenon as a traumatic reality, as Kilomba shows us, we analyzed the episodes of everyday racism, in an intersectional perspective, from a post published by the deputy in her Instagram profile, and their meaning within the Brazilian colonial slavery heritage. The analysis corroborates there is a need for platforms contemplating and governments implementing effective actions to hinder this type of crime and to ensure the political rights and the complete health of these women.
