Ah we've been discussing this issue in my field (medieval studies) for some time. White supremacy is deeply embedded in everything, particularly our field even how we respond to racism. The kneejerk reaction particularly by wyte women is to turn this into whataboutism. I'm 1/2

simply asking for them to acknowledge that racism needs to be called out on its own and/or that it's intersectional b/c BlWOC are not included when they speak about misogyny. 2/2

Is everything a fight? Love is deep and difficult to describe. It’s from the core and I don’t know how to defend innocence and love.

I'm a woman, one of the only Black women in the field. As a medievalist I'm asking for everyone in our field to do better and if that means calling a racist a racist, explicitly, that's what we need to do. We can't shift the field or our world without speaking these truths.

Death threats, doxxing, trying to get me fired before I was even hired, sock puppet accounts, groups devoted to attacking us . . . and most of that is from academics not even ppl outside the field. It's a ride.

And you can't get some medievalists to even acknowledge racism is a problem in the field, even has they have Nazi YouTubers in their mentions, who BTW they are much nicer to than BIWOC or anyone who speaks up to change the field.
