Hello Family,
We hope you've had a great weekend and just in case you haven't been able to keep up here's your mini recap of what we've been talking about this week.
We started Monday off by getting our vocabulary together. Say what you mean and stop using People of Color when you mean BLACK. Then The Radical Maestra helped to remind us that Halloween is NOT the time to try Black face. Well actually there is NO right time to wear Black face, because Cultures are NOT Costumes. By Hump day Wednesday HumbleVito threw epic shade to all these wypipo out here acting a damn fool with his piece, "I'm just not that into you." Check out his long list of wypipo foolishness. |
Thursday Only1Khalya hipped you to the books you MUST add to your Top Shelf Book Shelf: Who you Othering? Anyone who knows me know my bookshelf is deep and I had to buy two of the books ASAP.
By the way, anyone knows Black owned book stores? In 2018, I'm totally only buying Black.
On Friday you got a double drop, Floryter took us into the secret world of teacher group chats with Cognitive Dissonance: Are teachers revolutionaries of oppressors?Mannnnnnn, that was sticky, yicky, icky and full of oppression. And then Abram hit us with Friends Don't let Friends be Stupid about the Civil War at 2pm. Listen, Ta-Nahesi Coates READ John Kelly the riot act on his whole the Civil War happened because of lack of compromise.
Blank Stare. |
