rp @woketeachersL KINDNESS doesn't cut it!! Some of the cruelest things I've heard were said with a SMILE. We need to go beyond being kind, we must be ANTI-RACIST.

rp @eliana.chinea: There’s nothing more annoying than reading on a website, or going to a diversity and inclusion event or panel, and hearing someone talk about D&I as merely a strategy that will make a company more money. Although yes, that is a side effect of being an ethical company, people of color are not tools or pawns for a bottom line. That is the very mindset we are trying to shift, and need to shift immediately. I realize this is not a popular opinion within the corporate world, but I’m less interested in what’s popular with a company than I am with dismantling these capitalist and dehumanizing systems of thought for the sake of the people of color working within them. Studies show the workplace is still highly segregated by race and class, with brown and black people working lower level positions and whites working upper management. Strategy alone will not solve this issue, we need to evolve the way people think about POC and breakdown race and bias to its roots. It’s time we all stop trying to make people comfortable or convince them of our humanity and start speaking the truth...

rp @laylafsaad: Anti-racism is not a destination, an identity, a label, or a certification. It is a practice.

rp @blackhistory: six-month-old future First Lady, Claudia Alta ‘Lady Bird’ Taylor with her nursemaid, Alice Tittle in Karnack, Texas, 1913.
•
As baby Claudia grew, Alice proclaimed the two-year-old “purty as a lady bird.” The nickname, which she at first despised, stuck with her ever since.

rp @nowhitesaviors: Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. We are not perfect, but we are stronger and wiser than the sum of our errors. Black people have been here before us and survived. We can read their lives like signposts on the road and find, as Bernice Reagon says so poignantly, that "each one of us is here because somebody before us did something to make it possible. To learn from their mistakes is not to lessen our debt to them, nor to the hard work of becoming ourselves, and effective”.

rp @eliana.chinea: You cannot do this work passively, or from a few posts or videos. You need to be doing this work with those of us who actually know how to unpack your racism, bias, and oppressive thinking. That means actually taking a training, and no not a two hour one that barely touches the surface. You need a full comprehensive training and you need to do them twice a year at a minimum. And no, a Diversity and Inclusion training is not the same as anti-racism.
.
Remember, stop hiring white folks to teach you anti racism, that’s perpetuating white supremacy. Hire BIPOC who actually do this work, not your nearest brown or black friend! Tag a brown or black friend who can help, tag your white friend who can use it! - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

rp @uncolonia_history: Emancipation and self-emancipation came at different times in different places (especially considering it could either be imposed by the state/federal government OR forced by the enslaved themselves). However, once “freedom” was finally achieved, it was entirely unclear what that might mean after centuries of brutal oppression.

rp @mvmnt4blklives: In this unprecedented time, the collective consciousness of the nation is rapidly shifting and has led our society to begin addressing both the historical atrocities and the contemporary harms Black and Indigenous peoples suffer because of ongoing subjugation and oppression. Let us remember that the prosperity and wealth of this nation was derived from the blood of slave labor on stolen land from indigenous people.

rp @changecadet: Anti-racism workshops, trainings, conversations, discussions, books, podcasts and articles ARE needed for people to understand their privilege and the power that comes with it to dismantle racism, oppression, and white supremacy. This current administration does not want to do the work but YOU can. Be uncomfortable. Do the work. Know that antiracism trainings really brings us together. Learn more about each other and ourselves. What's divisive about that.
Tag someone in the midst of their antiracism journey.

rp @wearepushblack: in 1963, 200,000 people swarmed the nation's capital for the March on Washington for jobs and freedom. The monumental event organized by civil rights activist we know and love like Dr.Martin Luther King Jr., Congressman John Lewis, and A. Philip Randolph helped ignite a national awakening around systemic racism and economic injustice.
At a time when our rights are still being threatened, Black unemployment rates are at an all-time high and organizing is more challenging than ever, it's important we honor and uplift this monumental display of Black unity and those that brought it to pass. In the late congressman's words, we must "GET IN to the revolution that is sweeping this nation.. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village of this nation .. until true freedom comes."

rp @theconsciouskid: “I don’t think people of color expect us not to have racism. And not to, on occasion, show that racism. It’s not intentional, but there's no way I am going to be free of it. My experience is that what people of color are looking for is repair. Where can we go with it when I show it, and if we can talk about it, you’re more likely to trust me. Even though you know I have these racist patterns. If we can’t talk about it, we’re probably not going to have an authentic relationship.” —Dr. Robin DiAngelo - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

Most Americans are largely uninformed of our nation's history of white supremacy and racial terror (Noelle Hurd). With the recent attention spotlighting the Confederate flag, let's talk about the Civil War.
-
Hurd goes on to remind us that the Civil War was fought over slavery and one of its offshoots – the convict-lease system – did not end until the 1940s
-
The Civil War was fought over the South’s desire to maintain the institution of slavery in order to continue to profit from it. It is not possible to separate the Confederacy from a pro-slavery agenda and curriculums across the nation must be clear about this fact.
-
After the end of the Civil War, southern whites sought to keep slavery through other means. Following a brief post-Civil War period known as Reconstruction, white southerners created new laws that gave them legal authority to arrest blacks over the most minor offenses, such as not being able to prove they had a job.
-
While imprisoned under these laws, Black people were then leased to corporations and farms where they were forced to work without pay under extremely harsh conditions. This “convict leasing” was, as many have argued, slavery by another name and it persisted until the 1940s. Comment "no more whitewashed history" if you want history unwhitewashed.

rp @teachfortheculture: In application of becoming anti-racist, in order to break the cycle and contribution to racism, white supremacy and more, you have to remove yourself. Don't associate with that cycle, create your own, partake in the cycle of demanding justice and becoming anti-racist.

rp @teachfortheculture: you cannot even TOUCH upon “anti-racist teaching”, if you, yourself, are not constantly engaged in your own deep and critical thinking and interrogative thought! — Most often racism THRIVES below the surface level, so if you are staying at the surface, you’re missing 95% of what’s really going on. — #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @blairimani: What we can no longer do is silence one another. When we exclaim BLACK LIVES MATTER we cannot allow retorts.

rp @loveoffering: it’s choosing to show up for yourself,
when you don’t feel like it.
it’s seeking help when everything in you
is fighting the feeling.
it’s standing up for others even if those you love look down on you for doing so.
it’s saying no. being firm with your no.
and honoring your boundaries, unapologetically.
it’s surrounding yourself with a support system that is pushing you to grow, beyond comfort.
this is the year of empowerment.
we are growing into ourselves.
we are entering a space of resilience
while being refined.
so keep healing.
keep fighting.
keep growing.
it’s only forward from here. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @moemotivate: Have you ever spilled food on a shirt?
I do pretty much everyday.
But I never do it on purpose.
I never plan to do it either.
But it still happens & I still end up w/ stains that sometimes won’t come out.
And while racism isn’t something that can be washed away w/ a good detergent, but it’s helpful to use analogies to simplify complex or abstract concepts.

#Repost @Rachel_Cargle I am making a public declaration, here and now in front of all of you beating hearts, that I, am giving myself permission
to not always get it right,
to not always be okay,
to not always be inspired,
to not always be full.
I give myself permission to honor the ebbs and flows of
soft and callous
ease and tension
light-filled and shadowed
my whole self and just enough
I am opening the gate to myself.
I am welcoming myself into this garden where the soil has been tilled by my ancestors.
this garden where I planted seeds day by day, season by season with grand expectation.
this garden where brave women and men watered diligently, knowing what would break through the ground once ready.
I am being birthed and blossomed again and again. Growing pains are inevitable.
I am giving myself permission to feel the sun on my skin, to let the rain soak my hair, to be weathered by the storms that are inevitable.
But it’s my garden, it’s where I’m supposed to be. I’m giving myself permission to BE here.
