"This "book" is offered as a website for three reasons.
To make it free and accessible.
To hold on to the ability to make changes and revisions and additions as our collective wisdom about white supremacy culture grows.
To be able to link to all the amazing resources that are now available to help us all think about the culture we're navigating and our collective and collaborative vision for the future we all want, need, and deserve."
"Throughout this website, when I use the term white supremacy, I am referring to the ways in which these ruling class elite or the power elite in the colonies of what was to become the United States used the pseudo-scientific concept of race to create whiteness and a hierarchy of racialized value in order to
disconnect and divide white people from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC);
disconnect and divide Black, Indigenous, and People of Color from each other;
disconnect and divide white people from other white people;
disconnect and divide each and all of us from the earth, the sun, the wind, the water, the stars, the animals that roam(ed) the earth;
disconnect and divide each of us from ourselves and from source (see below)."
It’s also one of the main examples that pop in my head when people say “the left is too obsessed with ideological purity to create working coalitions.” And it’s like, maybe sometimes, but buddy, some shit you can’t compromise on. We can’t say “let’s champion workers rights!” Then go along with antisemitism.
Why do we try to act like Antisemitism is an exclusive foible of the political Right, anyway? Buddy, I have witnessed the ideological intersection of “kill the bourgeoisie” and “Jews control the banks and media” - it’s not a pretty picture!
Too much of this happening. Too many people saying “ the Jews-“ instead of “the state of Israel.” Too many hijackings of worthwhile causes by antisemitism, racism, sexism, etc. Making things better is building, if it feels like revenge it ain’t building and it ain’t making things better
Fascism also involves fully destroying the franchise for all out groups. I agree we are under authoritarian lite but let’s not doomerism ourselves into pretending this is the same as the 2025 project and Trump’s own day one pronouncements. Weimar sucked and lex to the rise of the third reich but things could’ve gone a different way if enough people and things went differently. We gotta keep working, things can get better
Fascism won’t come to the US under trump because it’s already facist non facist country do not point snipers at students
Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”
Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.
ngl I keep forgetting that Hobby Lobby is a real store that people go to. That people actually think of it as a craft store and not as a crazy Christian mass artifact smuggler. I google "Hobby Lobby" and get a page full of results that make me go "wtf is this craft supplies and operating hours shit, I thought we all knew this place for smuggling looted cuneiform tablets out of Iraq"
Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
