#WhitePrivilege is about reframing equity discussion AS WELL AS a call to action. "Describing #WhitePrivilege makes one newly accounable..."

#NDTMeetScienceTwitter is functioning very differently than#BillMeetScienceTwitter & has different race dynamics. This is troubling.
Asking a White male personality for attention & recognition is very different than demanding professional Black male scientist for the same

Black scientists have to overcome systemic barriers in education & in life to get a PhD. More service is asked of them on equity & diversity

1/2 Black scientists have at least twice the emotional labour: mentoring Black junior scholars above their usual supervision workload...
-
2/2 ...And the emotional "
#POC of colour tax" of having to educate White people on racism at the same time as dealing with racism in life. -
1/2 Black men *should* give back; & they have relatively* less to deal with than Black women & femmes & other Black gender minorities.
-
2/2 *Relatively less meaning cisgender Black men to other Black people NOT White women: that's where this NDT tag has gone very wrong.

Black men have male privilege; but White women who think WW are most disadvantaged are deploying
#WhitePrivilege & thus contribute to racism -
Finally, I see some
#POC using the#NDTMeetScienceTwitter tag. Please stop modelling yourselves on White people's sci interests &#scicomm. -
You don't have to like NDT to see how
#NDTMeetScienceTwitter feeds#WhitePrivilege & anti-Blackness by sheer ignorace of what he said. -

Tyson made a comment suggesting that scientists were not in communication space. Some folks offered some examples. That's all this is.

Help me out Rebecca. Didn't he simply comment that there was an insufficient number of scientists participating?

At issue here is how the (largely white)
#scicomm community jumped on a POC PhD for words that weren't even his. -
... but to race bait that is a little lame. I have huge respect for the guy, and that's why it I'd like to see him always be correct!

1/ "Race bait" - what are you doing here? I'm an expert on equity & diversity, inc anti-racism & a
#WOC. You clearly don't understand racism -
2/ Be more careful with your language "lame" is an ableist term. http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/08/alternatives-to-oppressive-language/ … Thread is about inclusion. Please be respectful.
