Seriously though, y’all better keep this same energy when BIPOC are told to style their hair a certain way, not to use AAVE, when hijabi women are told to take off their hijab, and SO many more instances. This is good energy, just make sure you also apply it where it’s needed.
“People do not choose rebellion, it is forced upon them. Revolution is always an act of self- defense.” - Rest In Power to #civilrights icon C. T. Vivian
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” John Lewis RIP
If you believe Black lives matter, then Black data matters.

Black students matter.
Black businesses matter.
Black home ownership matters.

“RACISM not race is a risk factor for morbity and mortality” thank you @uche_blackstock for saying it loud for the people in the back and hosting an amazing opening to the @CNS_Update “Black Lives in Neurosurgery” Series! Can’t wait for the rest!!
Black physicians pay “minority taxes,” performing extra duties to help organizations achieve diversity. Perhaps White physicians should pay “majority taxes,” by acknowledging their White privilege, highlighting medical racism, and implementing antiracist policies.
The CNS is launching a new special webinar series, Black Lives in Neurosurgery: A 3-part Webinar Series. Join us on Thursday, July 16 for the first event, Mobilizing for Racial Equity: A Seminar Addressing Racism and Implicit Bias with Dr. Uché Blackstock. https://t.co/za2g7ed7P3

Say his name: Philando Castile.
When a Minnesota police officer pulled him over four years ago, he did everything “right,” yet the officer shot him anyway — not once but SEVEN times.
While Philando’s family still mourns his death, his murderer is free.
This is why we protest.
