The Recurrence of Dehumanisation And Why It Matters in the UK Too In 1968, Black sanitation workers in Memphis walked through the streets carrying signs that read: I AM A MAN. The sentence was simple, almost painfully so.

When humanity has to be declared in 1968 and defended again today, we should pay attention.

Women tend to downplay their gender in workplaces with masculinity contest cultures A new study finds that workplaces prioritizing dominance and competition cause women to downplay their gender. This "self-group distancing" serves as a coping mechanism to maintain status in environments where the female identity is devalued.

Like #StructuralRacism, #StructuralSexism is a thing.

Systemic racism doesn’t require intent. Closing #PMPediatrics Atlantic Ave left Brooklyn with one site in Bensonhurst, pushing pediatric urgent care out of reach for many Black and brown families. #StructuralRacism #AccessToCare

HIDDEN PEOPLE OF THE MOUNTAINS - THE MELUNGEON GENETIC MYSTERY YouTube video by Evo Inception

Folks teaching classes with overlay of racial formation — just found this video (h/t Erin P.). Had never heard of #Melungeon history in #Appalachia. Great, accessible example of #structuralracism, #dispossession, #passing. In case it’s helpful. 16 minutes.

‘It’s not a coincidence’: journalists of color on being laid off amid Trump’s anti-DEI push Black and brown former employees from CBS, NBC and Teen Vogue talk about the effects of being let go

THE WEIGHT OF BEING MISREAD This letter grew out of a recent conversation with two white middle-class acquaintances who told me, with quiet confidence, that I “only write about race,” and that terms like “Black” or “women of col...

Being misread is its own kind of violence.

The Constitution didn’t just “allow” racism — it structured it. 3/5 compromise, slave trade protected, fugitive slave clause, then the 13th’s prison loophole. This isn’t a glitch; it’s the operating system. #USHistory #StructuralRacism

Tulsa, OK 1921 (Black Wall Street): first U.S. aerial attack on civilians. Later example: Philadelphia 1985 (MOVE).

Wilmington, NC 1898: only successful coup d’état on U.S. soil.

All three were state-backed assaults on Black freedom—white envy in policy form. #StructuralRacism #KeepYourReceipts

Facts. It’s baked in: Constitution (Fugitive Slave + 3/5 clauses), 1790 whites-only naturalization, Jim Crow, FHA redlining, GI Bill exclusions, and state-backed pogroms (Tulsa 1920, Wilmington 1893). Even when we built, the state burned. #StructuralRacism #KeepYourReceipts

Singing Jerusalem is Englishness Dan! (A clue in the lyrics)
I agree that we’ve achieved much; but there remains much to improve too.
One only has to look at ethnic data on, eg, school exclusions, involvement in the CJS, stop & search stats, to see there’s no room for complacency

The U.S. government has long protected wealth and whiteness—through redlining, mass incarceration, and more.

Now it’s doing it at warp speed—and the cost is hitting marginalized communities hardest.
