*Also White people can't annoint themselves "intersectional feminists" -intersectionality is not an excuse for White women to ignore race.

#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.
