@JustinPShaw "I must be a perfectionist just to play the role of toke in a department." "We're invited to a broken table and being asked to fix it." "Fixing what you broke might mean moving beyond reform to abolition." 6/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
@JustinPShaw Question: when you sit with my grief, what will you do with yours? 7/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
Carissa M. Harris, on Knights and policing and Morte D'Arthur. Knights don't always protect women from sexual violence, very often they are also committing violence against them. 8/

Rapes perpetrated by knights are central to their chivalric identity. 9/

Perpetrators in uniform preying on WOC. Who is protecting those most vulnerable and marginalized? 10/

Medieval Knight and police officers hold positions of social and cultural authority. Both are also armed. Medieval knights face more consequences, but this is not to excuse their violence as CH points out. 11/

@ProfCWhit "To Protect and to serve: policing and chivalric violence," slave patrols operated to "keep the Black's in line." 12/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
Police serving and protecting white mobs in Philadelphia. 13/

Violent vigilantism has precedence in the slave patrols, which conscripted all white men in their service, also roots in medivalisms as deployed by Mussolini 14/
#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
"The birthright of European chivalry, the birthright of white men." This is connected to the "thin blue line" flags, the police are the inheritors of chivalric knighthood. 15/

Modern policing gets its violence honestly. It gets its racism honestly, too. But we must also recognize its medivalism too. 16/

@Elysabethgrace Margo Hendricks, "I'm going to talk about policing and serving in the academy." LAPD rolled out "To Protect and Serve" in the 60s and then rolled into Watts and later in the 90s South Central. 17/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
The way "to protect and serve" how it affects BIPOC. These moments come as academic gatekeeping. The system is problematic and insidious when it comes to employment and retention. 18/

Citing
#BlackInTheIvory, the ways that Non-black POC can and do exhibit anti-blackness. How implicated are we in white supremacist protect and serve practices in the academy? How invested are we in our professional cache to maintain our anti-blackness? 19/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
Have we done enough to protect and serve BIPOC junior scholars, independent scholars, and other vulnerable people? Have we taken a stand against protect and serve? Do we recognize that our silence is complicity? Citing Hurston, not all skinfolk are our kinfolk. 20/

In the end, who are we here to protect and serve if not future generations. Our silence does not go unheard. We need to speak (louder). 21/

Q&A: What kind of resources do we need for scholars of color to live and do the work?
@Elysabethgrace: AT and@acmrs_org have begun this process of maintaining community and resources. As a senior person, I need to stand behind this generation. And self care. 22/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
@JustinPShaw what are the ways that abolition as a concept offers us in academia? Can we reform or is there something that needs to dissolve? Changing hiring practices, what tenure means, changing boards, and different conference forms... 23/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
More collectives that allow us to re-frame what we do from the ground up.
@ProfCWhit many of the structures that facilitate gatekeeping are contemporaneous with our C19 disciplines and w/ municipal policing. 24/ RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
A C19 order that pervades policing and the academy. There is an endemic concern with orderliness, with knowing who belongs, and that necessitates who does not. That's what we need to brutally and revolutionarily investigate. 25/

C. Harris: education for committees on student bias in evaluations for BIPOC. Awareness regarding the extra service responsibilities on BIPOC. 26/

AT: Institutions don't understand the invisible labor that we are doing: Academic Reparations. How should we prepare ourselves and our students for the election?
@Elysabethgrace we need to talk about this in our classrooms. Provide a place for the anger and fear 27/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
@JustinPShaw the classroom is an important place for our students to understand that the things we study are central to the things going on in our lives.@ProfCWhit teach about the role of narrative in how we shape the world. 28/#RaceB4RaceNäytä tämä ketju -
CHarris: You need to know what you can do and handle when you are asked to do anti-racist work. Know what to take on and say no to according to that. 29/

AT: ending w/ an anecdote, approached a UP about doing a series in premodern critical race series, response from editor, "I think it's a niche field." AT: "Wake up Academy. We Are Here!! We are a community. We will Protect and Serve you!" 30/30
