The Race Unity Circle

A community group founded by, but not limited to Baha'is in the Hudson Valley (NY), committed to the elimination of racism as a spiritual imperative.

Can we have an honest conversation instead of a political one, about what's wrong with #YouAintBlack? For instance, regardless of how well-meaning (or not) such a sentiment might be, out of the mouths of those who believe themselves to be white, it reflects a monolithic /1/

Incredible. @race_unity just did an amazing exploration of Rev. Dr. King's work. Grateful for this representation as well!!

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

Wherever you see it in spaces where black people aren't. WHENEVER you see spaces where there aren't any black people ask why that is, and don't take the answers at face value but look for systems of exclusion. Go out of your way to make a black & brown friends - work at it /1/

We recognize the BEST of people in statues - not the worst in them. Celebrating the subjugation of Native-American and African people was NEVER right. Good on the museum, and Theodore IV for this move.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Theodore Roosevelt's statue will be removed from the Museum of Natural History in New York City. The memorial has long prompted objections as a symbol of colonialism.

@nkjemisin Presumptuous as get-out, but, would love to talk to you about a workshop we're doing in July re: Afro-futurism. Tiny grassroots organization upstate NY... Y/N?

[The Race Unity Circle @race_unity]

@itskingapollo @nkjemisin It's worth asking if, after all, the police ARE doing their jobs, given their origin story?

[The Race Unity Circle @race_unity]

@Fluffernightma1 @Mrs_Shud1 @DerenicByrd Or maybe its a war between people the police disrespect, disregard and casually discard, and people who think that's not happening.

[The Race Unity Circle @race_unity]

@Mrs_Shud1 @DerenicByrd Race was created to avert class warfare. TRUE. BUT - now that it's created, people believe in it and act on it, and black and brown bodies are the ones being policed and murdered because of that fact.

[Derenic Byrd @DerenicByrd]

Just a thought.. #TalkingAboutRace

[Heidi Krassenstein @HKrassenstein]

Republicans are now attacking Biden for almost calling White Supremacists "RACIST F-CKS."

Thank you Joe Biden for calling it how it is!

White Supremacists are "Racist F-cks!"

Let's help make this go viral for all the right reasons.

It was one of the crazier moments in comics to have this amazing reimagining of the Spider-man tale be so blatantly marred with this choice, and it never felt accidental.

[The Race Unity Circle @race_unity]

Cognitive dissonance is a threat to black lives and a sustainor of white ignorance.
