Our government has been practicing throughout the world for a long time the methods of repression they are using on American citizens.

"The bottom line is this: when the leading nazi jurists assembled in early June 1933 to debate how to institutionalize racism in the third Reich, THEY BEGAN BY ASKING HOW THE AMERICANS DID IT." #AcademicSky #books #booksky #racism #antiracism ##systemicRacism

This is a tough read. Not just because it makes you face the racial horrors of amerikkka's past but because it also resembles the amerikkkan present so closely. In conclusion... Fuck Orange!! #FDT #thisIsAmerikkka

Supporting Orange and being a xian should be antithetical. However, if you study the history of white American evangelicalism, you will recognize that Christ has always been mobilized to oppress people considered "non-white." Amerikkka was established as a white supremacist Christian nation. #FDT

"... there are times in a nation's history when its political climate makes it imperative for intellectuals to take sides." Henry and Susan Giroux. 2004. Take Back Higher Education: Race, Youth, and the Crisis of Democracy in the Post-Civil Rights Era. #AcademicSky #CriticalPedagogy #BookSky

The republican party has been trying to destroy public education since integration. Orange and its merry band of klansmen are nothing new, we just weren't paying as close attention before orange annointed itself king.

The German anti-fascist philosophers, activists, and artists believed art played a major role in supporting the revolution and resistance. They debated aesthetic theory and wrote great texts about art and revolution. What role do you think art plays in the anti-fascist movement today?

Being quiet in the face of racism is racism.

It was easy to talk about racism in 2020, but what are you doing today when it is dangerous to address the prevailing culture and systems of racial oppression? Did your activism become a way of life, or was it just a performance for the gram?? #Racism #AntiRacism
