Robin D.G. Kelley, a historian at UCLA whose scholarship on #RacialInjustice also landed him on the #ProfessorWatchlist, is struck by how rapidly our society has changed since #Trump took office a 2nd time.
Kelley pointed to the fact that Trump was widely condemned during his first term when he called the #WhiteSupremacists who rallied in #Charlottesville, VA, “very fine people.”
The photographs at issue showed a group of agents in a taking a knee during one of the demonstrations following the May 2020 killing of Floyd, a death that led to a national reckoning over policing & #RacialInjustice & sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the arrest. The kneeling had angered some in the #FBI but was also understood as a possible de-escalation tactic during a period of #protests.

" the tactic many white women employ to muster sympathy and avoid accountability..."
""... white women are equally aware their race privileges them ... In this context, their tearful displays are a form of emotional and psychological violence that reinforce the very system of white dominance that many white women claim to oppose."

“I refuse to listen to white women cry about something,” she told me. “When women have come up to me crying, I say, ‘Let me know when you feel a little better, then maybe we can talk.’ It’s like a man coming up and crying: ‘Oh, this whole #patriarchy thing is so hard.’ Like, no, we’re not going to do that.” #Feminism #WhiteFragility #RacialJustice. #RacialInjustice

Is being ‘woke’ a badge of honor?
Historically, the word was used as a warning to be aware of racial injustices.

Though the Civil Rights Act of 1964 officially ended racial discrimination in public places, relics of the Jim Crow era still haunt the South.
An example: In Ellisville, Mississippi, 2 water fountains remain standing in front of the Jones County Courthouse.
Even though the fountains don’t work, and the signs reading “white” and “colored have been covered, the subtle but discriminatory whisper of segregation remains.
