#DEI and the Rise of the Modern Slur
"There is a direct connection between the way the right wing is using the term DEI and the way bigots have used the n-word for 200 years. In this video, I trace the history of the most notorious slur in American history to the way DEI and #CRT and other words are being used today. "

#RacistRichLowry #RacistRich #RichLowry #Lowry is just one of many closet hardcore #Racists at #TheNationalReview #NationalReview and #FOX #FOXNews that say the #Nword privately so frequently and that they eventually slip up and say the racist slur publicly...

Yesterday’s Mystery Person was Etheridge Knight.
From Wikipedia: Etheridge Knight (April 19, 1931 – March 10, 1991) was an African-American poet who made his name in 1968 with his debut volume, Poems from Prison. The book recalls in verse his eight-year-long sentence after his arrest for robbery in 1960. By the time he left prison, Knight had prepared a second volume featuring his own writings and . . .

@scottspeaking And risk the lives and health of our children? You are asking people to risk raising children in FLORIDA? After my kids were grown, I tried #tennessee.
OH. MY. GOD.
And even so, I've been called the #Nword more times in #NewJersey than anywhere else.
I grok purpling. I beg parents seriously to consider the RISK. Lifelong #trauma from proximity to #centrists, #racists, & "normal" folks (enabling #whitegaze & #whitesupremacy cos it's most convenient) is real & it KILLS.
