    This is the insidious racism I fight against. You don't say "n---a" but you think it's fine that you hold all the power while I beg for it.

    If we challenge those narratives, we are to be swiftly reminded that we have no real power, place, or position other than as props.

    Our place is to be props in their "good, Progressive, Liberal" narratives. We are to be seen and only heard if we further those narratives.

    This isn't abnormal. Many Black folks have experienced similar from "Liberal" ppl in positions of power who need to remind us of our place.

    Notice that this "Liberal" professor was gleefully planning to tank a Black student's career prospects bc that student dared challenge her.

    White people are happy if you're singing the tune they want to hear. Dare to say "hmm I think you're wrong," and they'll come for you.

    That comment, & its predictability, is indicative of how little progress we've made: White ppl continue to react poorly to being challenged.

    One such "supportive" comment read "Get her---show that little prissy ass who's the WOMAN!" (via )

    After the professor in the story above started posting inappropriate things about Kaylanon Facebook, her friends chimed in "in support."

    I hear y'all. The MBP with the touchbar is too buggy. That Rose Gold Macbook would be tempting if it had enough memory. 8GB is a travesty. 😭

    I hate it when people say women in engineering aren't technical enough. Do you write code for a living? Then you're technical enough.
