Is there a word for the opposite of a #scapegoat? For instance, the way false threats involving children have been used to drive transphobia and homophobia. The way false threats involving white women have been used to kill black men and boys, #EmmitTill to start.

What is the word for the opposite of a scapegoat: a group who is defined as helpless against an outgroup to drive fear?

If no word exists, do you have ideas?

#CarolynBryantDonham is still alive, and so is her legacy.

I understand the mother of #EmmitTill demanded an open casket during his funeral so the entire world could bare witness to his murder. The world needed to see.
