"... 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

Where are the protectors of hip hop culture? It seems like academics are the most concerned with preserving and elevating the culture, while only a few artists are doing the same. KRS is not gonna be around forever. Hip hop is much more than just rap! #HipHop #HipHopSky #Culture

"The utopian idea of an aesthetic reality must be defended even in the face of ridicule, which it must necessarily evoke today. For it may well indicate the qualitative difference between freedom and the prevailing order." - Herbert Marcuse 1967 #Marcuse #Art #AcademicSky #BookSky #CriticalTheory

"... art is able to shatter the false reality of the status quo." - Herbert Marcuse #Art #herbertMarcuse #Marcuse #AestheticTheory #ArtSky #AcademicSky #CriticalTheory #FrankfurtSchool

Artists and philosophers should be the truth tellers in dark times like these. #Art #Philosophy #truth

Going back through this bell hooks classic because it is more important today than it was even a few months ago. #bellhooks #criticalpedagogy #academicSky #books #booksky #feminism #criticaltheory

Finished and underwhelmed. This book criticizes BLM and Michele Alexander from a marxist position. It is a challenging book and made me think a little more deeply about class based movements in Amerikkka. Overall, it is a worthwhile read. #academicSky #booksky #blacklivesmatter
