rp @moemotivate: Do the Black folks in your life know how much you tokenize them in an attempt to excuse yourself from doing this work?

Have you told the Black folks in your life that when folks discuss matters of racism that you respond with telling folks about the presence of Black folks in your life?

How many times have you told the Black folks in your life, “hey, to avoid the discomfort & responsibility of this work, I use my relationship with you as an excuse and a shield. So I basically exploit our relationship for my benefit. Much like my ancestors did when they would enslave Black folks & exploit their labor for their benefit. I hope you don’t mind. But if you do I’ll just blame it all on you & carry on to the next Black person I can exploit”.

Have you told them this?

Probably not. But this is what you’re doing.

This is what you’re doing even when you’re not saying it but when you’re thinking that bc you have proximity to Blackness that you can’t be racist & therefore don’t need to engage in anti-racism.

But this couldn’t be any further from the truth.

In fact, the closer proximity you have to us should motivate you even more to do this work bc you realize the great possibilities of harm.

But because y’all are too concerned with your ego & your comfort, you bypass the work & carry on believing you’re “woke” because your bestie is Black.

Meanwhile, your bestie has never told you about the racism you’ve engaged in towards them—not because it hasn’t happened but bc they don’t feel safe to share.

And maybe they have shared but you’re not doing the work so you responded poorly & caused more harm—now things have changed between you.

If I knew a white person in my life used their proximity to me as an excuse to avoid this work I would feel betrayed & I would cut them off.

But so many of y’all do this with no regard to the feelings of the person your tokenizing.

And what’s even worse is that you’re going to cause more direct harm the closer you are to Black folks if you’re not at least attempting to do this work.

Stop making excuses to avoid this work & stop exploiting your relationships with Black folks to bypass the responsibility of doing this work.

Do better. Do the work. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

rp @workingclasshistory: 19 September 1793, during the Haitian revolution, 600 British soldiers sent from Jamaica landed at Jérémie, Haiti. They were welcomed by the white French property owners, who had signed a secret accommodation with Britain. In exchange for their support, Saint Domingue would become a British colony. Slavery would be reinstated, people of colour would be stripped of citizenship, and the conditions of Britain's economic policies would favour the colonists. They fought for five years until eventually defeated by the Haitian revolutionary forces.

rp @antiracismdaily: Trump is racist, but so are other presidents throughout our history. And although some would argue that their actions “weren’t considered racist back then,” but racism, by definition, isn’t up for interpretation. Especially with the new addition that Merriam-Webster is planning on adding, thanks to the work of Kennedy Mitchum.

Let’s remember that racism is more than a political tactic. It’s a pervasive and devastating aspect of our society, created through generations of presidents and people practicing over time.

rp @wherechangestarted: White supremacy may be systemic, but it is far from passive. It works hard to maintain the power dynamics that uphold it. We cannot be passive in our attempt to dismantle it. Ever.

.

Antiracism requires you to be intentional. To be committed to moving through the process of becoming antiracist - generally, and specifically for any subject/topic you are having trouble with. To actively work at unpacking your racial triggers and replacing your racist tools of defense with tools of accountability. If you’re here, I’m guessing you get that.

.

It is far too easy to rest on passive thoughts in agreement, likes on social media posts, and feelings of solidarity and support while sitting on the side lines in this work. But no one can do your work for you. Only you can.

.

As we move further into 2020 and some of you find yourselves feeling less energetic about antiracism in comparison to how you started the year (all pumped up and ready to break some shit), I want you to take some time this weekend to think about how to set realistic and sustainable goals for yourself in this work. You need to get out ahead of prolonged burnout. I want you do be in this ACTIVELY for the long haul. I want you to maintain the drive and sense of urgency that you feel right now.

.

Be intentional and do what you need to do to make sure that happens. Let’s be real about putting in this work to create the world we believe in.

rp @moemotivate: If fighting for Black liberation is divisive then I don’t want y’all unity.

What is unity to y’all...

Your unity is for Black folks to be murdered, oppressed & disenfranchised and for us to just quietly take the violence & suffer in silence bc you believe it’s our fault anyway.

Your unity is our silence bc our suffering is interrupting your day.

Y’all want to oppress & abuse us & you want for us to take it as though it’s punishment owed for being born Black into a society that hates our Blackness.

Your unity is us smiling while you abuse us.

Your unity is looking the other way while you exploit us.

Your unity is for us to comply with your dehumanizing treatment of us.

Your unity is to make Black folks suffer in silence & out of sight.

Y’all idea of unity is warped, abusive, and dehumanizing but somehow you get to lash out at us when we are speaking out against the pain that you’ll never feel, yet you seem to be an expert on how we’re supposed to deal with it.

“Be patient”, you say, “be peaceful”, “be loving”, “be graceful”, “be forgiving”, “be compassionate”—all things you never give to us. But we’re some how supposed to extend all these things to you, while “kindly” asking you to stop killing us.

You consistently & unrelentingly abuse us, & you won’t stop bc we didn’t say it nicely enough. Ridiculous.

White supremacy is divisive.

Racism is divisive.

Gender stereotypes & gender roles are divisive.

Misogynoir is divisive.

Homophobia is divisive.

Fat phobia is divisive.

Oppression is divisive.

The only people that lash out the most & the loudest when folks speak out against oppression are the ones that believe they have the most to lose if we put an end to the oppression.

The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968 dashed the hopes of black Americans for the commitment of white America to racial equality at home and abroad, as the number of black soldiers in Vietnam supporting the Black Power Movement increased dramatically. Pre-existing racial tension between black and white soldiers increased after King’s assassination, leading to a surge of inter-racial violence within U.S. forces in Vietnam and at home. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory⠀ ⠀

@Rachel_Cargle interview with @blackgirlinom. I think as a #blackwoman I have always been inclined to be very vocal about what existence looks and feels like at this intersection of #race and #womanhood. As someone who identifies as a #feminist, I began to really dig deep into the #movement to #educate myself so that I could show up fully. I realized quickly that #feminism had incredibly racist roots that had to be both acknowledged and uprooted before the movement could be truly effective.

between the pandemic and blatant racism happening, things will never be “back to how it was”

don’t wait for a movement, to do the work.

I’ve been getting great questions about white privilege. When I address white privilege, understand that the roots of white privilege can be traced back to historic inequities.

.

.

Having white privilege and recognizing it is not racist. But white privilege exists because of historic and current racism and biases. Therefore, understanding white privilege requires understanding the development of white identity, the identity development for people of color, and historic racism. What do y’all think?
