@heymrsbond @Disney Thank you for sharing. I had no idea. It makes me want to watch it now.

Affirmative action gutted.

Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked.

The fall of Roe.

Banning books.

Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists.

And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual?

Nah.

[Cortney Lamar Charleston @bardsbesidebars]

Look: I graduated from high school in the top 1% of my class with standardized test scores in the top 1% and a roster of extracurricular involvements. And I still needed affirmative action, because while I merited admission anywhere on paper, my Blackness has restricted ACCESS!

I like the fact I know two languages.
