I hear you, but Helen is saying that trying to transform the society is a racist action and has accused my friend of racism. I just can’t see how wanting trying to transform an academic society to be better is racist?

Many people, in particular
@ISASaxonists and@dorothyk98, have discussed how ISXX is firmly entrenched in white supremacy. We can't do the work to reform because its governing structures are elitist & racist, and the board is unwilling to change or challenge that.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

And just because they say it doesn't mean it's unambiguously right. There are more voices than those of the people you mention. It's an issue worthy of respectful, intelligent discussion among pdoe of good will. Blanketly dubbing everyone a racist who disagrees is bullshit.

It doesn't. But I do think it's the duty of white people (myself obviously included) to reflect when called racist rather than lash out. As well as to listen to POC, obvi.

Oh, so teaching at an HBCU for years doesn't equate to reflection? Please explain that to me.

How did teaching at an HBCU not make clear that white ppl should always center the most vulnerable? Did we skip this anti racism training 101. Your HBCU is not a shield. This is like the group version of I have a black friend/family. My fascist stalker teaches at an HBCU.

And somehow your expertise b/c you have the HBCU shield vs. the lived experiences of BIPOC ppl is really demonstrating your antiracism? This is basic allyship 101: Do not make BIPOC ppl your shield. Listen. Stop centering whiteness. I could go on.

I could throw back at you the lived experiences of a trans person. You know nothing about it. The one card you got is calling people racist. You rely on the fact that folks will buy it regardless of its truth value. I'm all in. Lets go.

If you want to do whatever work for ISXX go ahead. However what is the point? They were transphobic. The listserve emails were clear. They have been terrible to all sexual harassment & sexual assault issues. They have been consistently racist. But why uphold white supremacy?

Yes Dorothy. They were transphobic. Do you think for a minute that I've not taken that on the nose? And yet, I persist.

That is your choice and a bunch of us have made others. We have already put in our labor and time.
