I’ll close out in thanking these colleagues by relying on a piece by another woman of color on our faculty, @profhuq who explains anti-racist teaching REQUIRES that we teach how racism,colonialism,&capitalism are instrumental to the legal doctrine we teach

I've been in transnational spaces where I've noticed that folks from the US & Europe will share their strategies but not their problems, while making space to listen to Third World movements' problems but not their strategies. This approach to solidarity misses out on so much...

"Terrorism is not a neutral concept. It has always been given meaning and operationalized through a political process. That process is driven by an ideology that is often influenced by racism and white supremacy." 🔥🔥🔥 by @dialash @tarekzismail

Perspective | Calling the Capitol riot ‘terrorism’ will only hurt communities of color

Using the right words doesn’t flip some magical switch that forces agencies to go after those actually plotting harm.

The BDS Campaign was in furtherance of this duty to prevent genocide. Genocide here is a tactic of colonialism. BDS seeks to end colonialism by ending the complicity of the international community in helping the colonizing power (Israel) benefit from its colonialism.

The "Genocide Convention" has the longer title of the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide." The PREVENTION part gets missed but was well suited to be applied to Israeli colonial practices well before its current genocidal assault on Gaza.

This is what I think law profs need to spend more time understanding. I feel it is so often missing in law school discussions on racism, intersectionality, & the law.

Race can be real & consequential without defining racial identity as fundamentally stable & objective, which is always a trap—in fact, race’s consequentiality despite its instability signals both the scope of power that sustains it, as well as its susceptibility to contestation.
