Pretty amazing that in the year that #BlackLivesMatter
because the biggest nat'l convo, astronomers finished it out by not talking about it.

@aurabogado I mean a culturally widespread acknowledgement of continuing oppression (or at least of its narrative, even if don't agree w it) -
@aurabogado Being granted legitimacy by cultural hegemony doesn't come without a fight. But it doesn't always come with one, either. -
So... You think black people are "privileged" that there's some acknowledgement of their oppression?
@cricketcrocker -
@aurabogado Importantly, I don't think that example is the *fault* of#Black people or their blackness. -
Wow. There's so much here I hardly know where to begin. Head spinning a little tbh
@cricketcrocker -
For starters: black people aren't suddenly privileged if their oppression is recognized.
@cricketcrocker -
RE: minority conflated with black: we non-black people do that when we claim oppression that's specific to black people.
@cricketcrocker -
We're say "people of color face x specific challenge," when it's actually black people that face the particular challenge.
