      BINGO. Let’s please stop doing this. I 100% admit I’ve done this myself as a white ally, claiming my “rightful” victim points as a #GenderQueer #nonbinary who is also a “woman.” & feeling hurt when POCs don’t give me extra points for that & justneed my help in #antiracist work.https://twitter.com/ISASaxonists/status/1199743076123721728 …

      There seems to be 2 main reasons that people bring up class: 1)To try and empathize with #BIPOC who experience #racism 2)To try and shield themselves from accepting their role in upholding #whitesupremacy 3/26 #classism #capitalism

      When members of @GroupBABEL tried to tell me in 2014 & again in 2015, that BABEL wasn’t paying enough attention to issues around #ableism and #racism, my first reaction was HOW DARE YOu?!?

      & then I realized I was behaving badly. But not before my feelings were hurt. And then I got over it & decided I would do whatever I could to help my colleagues make our field more inclusive and less racist, which is work that goes hand in hand with labors against misogyny, etc.pic.twitter.com/rx9mY7SvMb

      It’s difficult but as white scholars we have to realize our #whiteness is the ultimate privilege. We may come from poverty, we may be #queer, or victims of sexual & other assault, even #war, but we can never truly know the daily slings & arrows of #racism, which are relentless.

      #Racism & especially #StructuralRacism are so pervasive, they have created what @JordanPeele memorably named the #SunkenPlace. As whites, we can’t claim this place as partially ours as well, even if we’ve seen & experienced the worst. This is also why #intersectionality matters.

      #intersectionality because all oppressions are NOT equal to each other nor can be compared side by side, though many white feminist scholars don’t GET this: intersectionality looks at the death-trap formed when certain modes of subjugation intersect: black, female & poor, esp.

      It is important to know that white feminists have so badly misappropriated #intersectionality that they claim that #classism has a rough equivalence to #racism which is not at all the case: you can’t treat any of these isms as if they bequeath equal victim status. #WhiteFragility

          More pointedly, #intersectionality (rooted in Critical Race Theory+Legal Philosophy: start with K. Crenshaw) looks at what happens when the forces of racism & sexism (etc.) intersect in ways that bring double- & triple- (etc.) legal/penal threats to POC. #AbolitionDemocracy

          So if you really want to work on behalf of an #antiracist Academy & you’re white, park your pain & grudges at the door and commit yourself to dismantling #WhiteSupremacy & the #racist institutions it has founded, from the prison to the classroom to the statehouse and White House.pic.twitter.com/Iluu3JvlqH

          We live in a world built on the foundations of #racial #state #capitalism and there is practically no corner of our world untouched by #racist ideologies & sorting practices, including our academic “fields,” including medieval studies, esp. #AngloSaxon studies. #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/a1KfWDl6MJ

          What this means is the work at hand is about truth & reconciliation. As whites we must acknowledge our & our ancestors’ part in building this #racist world that bequeaths to us immense privilege. We must desire to know our own part in it & to tear that out by the root. #Whitenesspic.twitter.com/VRp2Vf7123

          Turns out F. Jameson was right that we should “always historicize!” The next step is to work through the trauma of historical & ongoing forms of racism with our POC colleagues while always acknowledging our part in that, asking for forgiveness & working to repair the damage.pic.twitter.com/ZDZC7BRIF3

          The final step is to dream & rebuild. To repair relations. To imagine another, better Academy & to build it from scratch & somewhere else if necessary. No one said we had to stay here. No one said we had to worship the past, or tradition, or your version of any of that. #Enoughpic.twitter.com/4OUmyE6wZH

          & most importantly: read through all of @ISASaxonists’s thread linked to in my first tweet here as she does an even better job than me of explaining what #intersectionality really means & why we white persons need to stop deflecting blame from ourselves in discussions of racism.
