But I'm irritated with my own naivete and self-doubt. I talk a bit about enforced forgetting in next book, but if I had known Dubois more deeply, I would have learned from him that you can never explain enuf how race works when people are determined not to hear it.

I'm angry at my field that it took the global spread of wyte supremacy & death by wyte supremacy for more folks to take the study of race seriously.

I'm also angry at the field for the students at all level who have been (and continue to be) gaslit by the erasure of
#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race. Students questions about race are still being dismissed --even they ever are made comfortable enough to raise them at all.Näytä tämä ketju -
Also pretty angry at folks in other disciplines still complaining about the dominance of literature in the study of early modern race. It's been THIRTY YEARS--more than enough time to train graduate students to do the work you think we should be doing

But when you spend decades denying the existence of race, it puts you behind.

I'm finally getting that I've been in what my people would call a "trick bag" where I am continually asked to write the same thing over & over or I hear the EXACT SAME THINGS I heard 30 years ago & I think its because I wasn't clear the first time.
