“Hamer’s words did not fit easily into the language of patriotism that dominated public life. They pointed not toward a broken promise that could be redeemed, but toward a deeper foundation that had been rotten from the start.

A nation that could not—or would not—see what it had done would not be able to cure itself. It would continue, as she said, on the critical list.” #racism #SystemicRacism #StructuralRacism

I grew up in #HydePark right by #WashingtonPark - by which I mean I was like two blocks away. My entire life there have been profound issues with lack of #AccessToHealthcare on the South and West sides due to histories of #redlining and other facets of #StructuralRacism which is why it is infuriating but not surprising that the South Suburbs are in the same boat.

I'd argue that there are several reasons why Chicago's south suburbs (like the South and West sides generally) lack adequate access to trauma centers, and the two biggest reasons are structural racism and classism. (Olympia Fields and Flossmoor are both upper income and majority Black; many suburbs are working class and majority minoritized people.)

It should come as no surprise that instead of standing up on his hind legs in defiance, our Gov. Newsom threatens to veto bill limiting California state prison system and ICE cooperation

Indicators of structural sexism and racism are associated with greater memory decline in older women in the United States.

A new study from Columbia University researchers: ‘Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women’

From the Columbia University posting:

“The difference between being born in the most versus the least sexist state was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.

The study is part of a growing body of research that has investigated links between structural sexism and health. Structural sexism, like structural racism, does not refer to personal incidences but to inequality in resources and power that stem from social policies and societal norms. Hate crimes or slurs are individual acts of racism or sexism, whereas unfair lending practices and underrepresentation in government are structural.”

Teachers recruited from Jamaica to work in London for the Harris Federation chain of 52 state-funded academy schools have spoken of their “devastation” on finding out that they are being paid thousands of pounds a year less than English-trained recruits with similar levels of experience.

Of course, many people aren't aware that academies are essentially privatised state schools and can pay what they like.

Imagine producing a video game titled #PrisonArchitect2 and thinking the biggest problem with releasing it it is memory usage and minimum spec configuration.

#Prisons #Architecture #Fascism #StructuralRacism #PrisonAbolition

This latest development comes after a series of delays. Prison Architect 2 was supposed to come out on March 26, but it was pushed back a couple of times so that its developers at Double Eleven and Kokku could resolve issues concerning memory usage and minimum spec configuration. This time, Paradox decided not to set a new release date. It says it will announce a new one once the Prison Architect 2 teams are done reworking the game's scope.

@RadicalAnthro Have you heard about the practice in Portugal to put frogs at shop entrances to signal to Roma people they are not welcome?
