@christy_garke43 Because they justify their fear with this , they’re allowed to repeat these actions constantly. Will we ever be able to end this cycle ? #NQSoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@christy_garke43 Possibly because this country was built on white Christian ideals ? They’re dominant 🤷🏾‍♀️ #NQsoc221

“Any preconceived notion of danger or safety based on skin color is dysfunctional — it can actually increase our danger and make us less able to protect ourselves.” #NQSoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

“Christian wealth and power that determines political, economic, and cultural decisions. Christian fear works, like all racial fear, to divert people from the source of danger.” #nqsoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@laurendianne19 In order for this wealth to be redistributed , the idea of power and control needs to be removed . They have to realize that they’re on the same level as people of color and should be working with them instead of against them. #NQsoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@laurendianne19 These tropes actually blow my mind . They are completely inaccurate, BUT EVEN IF someone is a so called “jezebel” that does not make rape and mistreatment okay . It’s never okay , under ANY circumstance. #NQSoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@christy_garke43 I honestly feel like this way of thinking is instilled in people early on. This can be through media , family background, etc. people are taught to observe and be suspicious of African Americans. #nqsoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@diana62020 @laurendianne19 Yes ! I dont understand how people of color are deemed “dangerous” when they have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL AT ALLLLLLLL. #nqsoc221

@diana62020 I was planning on going to an HBCU but it didn’t work out. I don’t feel completely accepting or happy to be at Ball State but it was my best option 🤷🏽‍♀️

“Conversely, because of Christian based prohibitions about sexual expression, erotic projections into people of color make them seem more dangerous”. #NQSoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

I’m glad that these fetishes are finally being addressed. Specifically those that are associated with black women. These preconceived notions and fantasies have created a new form of oppression, often being viewed as nothing more than sexual beings ! We deserve respect #nqsoc221

[lauren 🍂 @empathicxqueen]

@bdillonbsu I believe our lack of honestly about our fear leads to hatred and violence

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

I just can’t believe how long it took our nation to understand that those at the top relatively have control over everything. Societal norms , distribution of funds , etc. it’s almost like people have made the choice to deny the truth or anything that points to it #NQSOC221

[haleycook @haleyco17937176]

I don’t think there is anyway a family should be or look like. Every family is different, and I wish we could accept that. #NQSOC221

[lauren 🍂 @empathicxqueen]

The media is such a proponent of racist propaganda and I’m glad the book talked about how it’s used to promote fear and screw how we view people of color #nqsoc221

[lauren 🍂 @empathicxqueen]

It’s interesting that how the book talks about the geography of fear in relation to low income areas when I’ve felt more unsafe in suburban/mostly “white” spaces #nqsoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

A lot of this bias present in our society seems to stem from fears 🤔 is it possible that fear is the REAL enemy here ? #NQSoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@laurendianne19 Absolutely! They are blind to this because they don’t want to think of themselves as being on the same level as black people . They are being held in bondage by deceit. #nqsoc221

[brittney dillon @bdillonbsu]

@Keilah_Charee Yes it’s not fair that we have to fight so much to be heard , but if it’s what we have to do to see improvements, so be it ! #nqsoc221
