Hi Kathryn -- no disrespect meant here, but if you'd been paying attention to the conversation you'd know that literally no MOC have come out saying that they want the organization preserved. No one can speak for all, but the voice of those active in the conversation is clear.

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.

What I see is a lot of white ppl not listening to BIPOC scholars in the field who have left ISXX. Who are using an HBCU as a shield. Who have not said a thing in 2.5 years or more of ISXX dumpster fires. So why are you wasting our time?

Really, we decided to use "thuggery". And somehow this is not a red flag?
