The old myths are tricky, and they can catch any of us in their trap. Yes, it‘s racist to pass policies that we know will harm Black people. At the same time, it is also racist to ignore the ways those same policies hurt poor white people—because racism‘s myths are designed to keep Black and white people segregated so they cannot come together to transform a system that doesn‘t serve most of us. If we‘re going to be anti-racist and⬇️

JenniferEgnor reconstruct an America for all of us, we can‘t ignore this reality. We have to face the facts that emerge when we pay attention to white poverty‘s wounds and learn to make the connections between living wages, union rights, and voting rights. 15h

So-called “election integrity” measures have been introduced in states with long histories of voter suppression, using the contemporary tools of voter roll purges or voter ID requirements to narrow the voting pool and reduce the potential power of a multiethnic voting coalition. I call this reality James Crow, Esquire—the result of Jim Crow‘s son going to law school and coming back to undermine democracy through more sophisticated means. Is it⬇️

JenniferEgnor still racist? Yes. But we‘ve seen, racism is never just about limiting the rights of Black people. Racist voter suppression may target Black people, but it hurts most of us. If we‘re going to beat James Crow, we have to connect all the people who are impacted by these attacks. Jim Crow was brought down by a moral fusion movement during America‘s Second Reconstruction in the 1960s, but his son went to law school and came back to state⬇️ 15h
JenniferEgnor legislatures in a business suit. His data analysis and legal maneuvers are more sophisticated than the old Jim Crow‘s, but James Crow, Esquire‘s goal is the same: minority rule to preserve an unequal society while giving lip service to democracy. 15h

One of the most damnable features of our common life is the way we talk about poverty, as if it‘s an anomaly and not a feature of our economic system.

I felt that the book delivered what it was meaning to, which was shed light on privilege and racism in the theather world.

I sometimes felt annoyed by the attitudes displayed by Hugo and Eddie, but it was overall a great read that gave you something to think about.

This being the author's debut novel already has me looking forward to what she will come up with in the future.

Today is UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in remembrance of the Sharpeville massacre. There are demos planned all over the world tomorrow (March, 22) https://worldagainstracism.org/2025-waraf/map-of-actions-2025/ to protest against the rise of far-right, racist governments and fascism.

I just finished this beautifully written coming of age story set in Georgia in the 1930's. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but well worth all the ups and downs.

A thoughtful and valiant reckoning, writing it was clearly a labor of love by the author.

How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi
post image

“Which is why we must actively antiracist” (last line that got cut off). Ibram X. Kendi posted this the other day & it definitely needs to be repeating. What they are pushing so hard against is why we need to push back harder.

Readergrrl I have been following Dr. Kendi on multiple social media platforms. It makes me sad that admitting to this in some states is enough to get me fired. I‘m so grateful to live in a state where diversity, equity, inclusion, AND access is still valued. 3w
ncsufoxes @Readergrrl same here. My kids have gone to school in CA, MA, & now MD. All states that continue to teach diversity, equity, & inclusion principles. MD has doubled down & so has our district on promoting these values more than ever. 3w
Readergrrl @ncsufoxes This makes me so happy to hear. I don‘t understand how our country can head down this path. It is simply insane. 3w
