#IStandWithBaharMustafa because I've seen female academics of color on the chopping block for speaking against institutional whiteness.
Bahar becomes a useful strawman for female students of color punching UP against white cishetero power structures..https://twitter.com/julesmattsson/status/651394605963976708 …

#IStandWithBaharMustafa because we cannot have academic freedom until folks enforcing institutionalized bigotry are called out instead... -
...of those actively resisting it and trying to make safe spaces for individuals actively VICTIMIZED by it.
-
UK universities are spaces in which speakers can rail against trans people & sex workers and support Zionism in the name of "free speech"...
-
...and yet there's sudden indignation when a woman of color refuses to accommodate the violence of whiteness & white masculinity?
-
If we're being intellectually honest and pretending to care about oppression, is there not a PROFOUND inconsistency there?!
-
I doubt anyone actually feels threatened by Bahar, but powers that be just need to discipline her to preemptively silence others like her.
-
That, in itself, is violence.

.@Jamesaboutdrugs Instead of recognizing the need for female students of color to have safe spaces for discussion without white [male]...

.@Jamesaboutdrugs ...intrusion, they lept on her hyperbole without analyzing institutional violence and racism/misogyny in the academy.
-
.@Jamesaboutdrugs They're making an example of her "bad behavior" rather than doing necessary introspection about structural bigotry.
-
.@Jamesaboutdrugs Meanwhile the folks making spaces unsafe (as well as the white men making good on violent threats online) are untouched.

@ztsamudzi yep, when cyber police miss so much violence, indefensible they arrest bahar for this - 3 more replies

@ztsamudzi She is not even a woc (or a frying pan). She is an insane Turk (ask her about the Armenian genocide) pretending to be non-whiteThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
