Slavery was SO MUCH worse than people imagine. I wrote my dissertation on slavery and it is incredibly traumatizing. In grad school I had to dramatically shift my entertainment habits to cope. No more dramatic or realistic shows and movies. Just escapism.

Reminder that the "micro" prefix in "microaggression" isn't a measurement of the size of the slight. It means it happens at the "micro" level, ie between individuals. This is in contrast to the "macro" level, which refers to social structures and institutions.

Today my entire Racial and Ethnic Relations class told me they learned about convict leasing for the first time in college. Over half learned about it TODAY. I learned this in high school. When did you learn about convict leasing?

Nonviolent marches were a tactic deployed with a specific strategic purpose. They weren't a reflection of the meekness of the protestors. They weren't a reflection of an inherent pacifism. They certainly weren't out of respect for property.

Derrick Bell, one of the creators of critical race theory and the first black professor at Harvard Law, was fired after protesting their refusal to hire any women of color...only for them to hire as their first woman of color...Elizabeth Warren.

It's the difference in "microeconomics" and "macroeconomics." Microeconomics is about individual decisions. Macroeconomics is about large scale forces. Both important. This is the problem when terms spread through the public faster and deeper than the definitions.

@e_b_bobadilla Exactly! It essentializes identity and can shield those who actually have power because they have a "marginalized" identity. We need to understand who is actually in control and act accordingly.

Remember that the "micro" in "microaggression" refers to micro level/individual (as opposed to macro). It doesn't mean "small aggression."

Gotta love how white confederates are the only "people in the South." It's not as if any other southerners have a history that stands in direct contrast to what the Confederate flag represents.

Shout out to Jen Psaki for getting roasted so bad by the internet it made the Biden administration send us all free COVID tests! This is a reminder: bully your government officials. 😂
