Narrative theory starts from the assumption that narrative is a basic human strategy... #BlkSociology

The "separating game" the most devastating weapon of our white/Arab oppressors. In LA, we killed each other over colors. In Nigeria, Mali, Niger, etc. we fight over foreign Gods or livelihood (farmers v. pastoralists) and/or "tribe." Selfish leaders compound the suffering.

A film student brought to my attention that representations of black professors in American cinema are virtually nonexistent. The only example I could remember is Laurence Fishburne in "Higher Learning." But I know there's more? What other examples are there? Anyone know?

We do this to disrupt the spaces & systems at universities that "like" us in theory but hate us in practice. Saying no isn't an option. A solution? Fix those systems that make our invisible labor necessary. #AntiracistSC #AcademicChatter #BlackInTheIvory #HigherEd

[Dr. Renae D. Mayes (She/Her) @DrRDMayes]

When minoritized faculty talk about invisible labor, the solution isn't for us to learn how to say no. It's to understand that this labor is for love, resistance, & survival for ourselves and other minoritized faculty & students. It's a cultural ethic...

On this and every #IndigenousPeoplesDay , let us remember that the "original sin" of every "nation" in "The Americas" is not enslavement.

It is the war of Settler Colonialism against the First Nations of the hemisphere.

All "social justice" struggles must start with that.

[Greg Carr @AfricanaCarr]

. @billmaher , like a lot of people, having a hard time facing the reality that the United States has never been a nation. A federal state, for sure. But there's no common memory, no common cultural narrative and there will never be.

[Greg Carr @AfricanaCarr]

From the looks of social media #Emmys lament rage, looks like far too many Black people still believing in things we don't understand.

Leave them people alone with their rewards system. Or not. But at least stop crying when a system set against you doesn't recognize you.

@Brad9799 Thank u Bradley! More 2 come, stay tuned.

TX is looking to pass a law that would require teachers to discuss historical & political issues or current events by "giving deference to both sides." So I guess they'll present the al-Qaeda perspective on 9/11, right? The Soviet angle on the Cold War? Hitler's take on the Jews?

[Africa Facts Zone @AfricaFactsZone]

Germany finally recognises that it committed genocide in Namibia, after being sued.

Germany will pay $1.34 billion compensation to Namibia.

Germany's Pres. Steinmeier will apologise before Namibia's Parliament.

German settlers killed 100,000 Hereros & 10,000 Namas from 1904-08

AMERICA ON FIRE is out today! So is the venerable @PenielJoseph's review for @nytimesbooks, which captures exactly what I tried to accomplish in writing this book. Thank you for engaging my work, Professor Joseph. https://t.co/Qgz4gR8OT8

The message @UNC Trustees used @nhannahjones to send was clear: "We will act to blunt any tampering with US White settler mythology."

Athletes considering laboring in revenue-generating sports for that school, especially those of African descent, hear that, loudly and clearly.
