White students have a significant advantage when it comes to where college completers get their credentials and what they study.
“For every racist remark I’ve heard, I’ve received a dozen more hugs from black faculty and staff.”
Switching from African American vernacular to a ‘white voice’ isn’t just about comedy – often, it’s the only way to get by

Black women have been at the forefront of advocating for progressive platforms this election season. Let's honor their work and commitment to equality by becoming aware of the racism that exists in feminist spaces.
1.) The public health building, which is currently nameless, used to be called Parran hall, after Thomas Parran, the first dean of public health at the graduate school. Thomas Parran also had a hand in the Tuskegee experiments, that infected hundreds of unknowing black men with syphilis, not treating them as they watched them die over the two decades of the experiment. The university likes to tout themselves as a beacon of diversity, and being open to any student regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other minority group they might belong to, but it also took them 50 years since the naming of the building to decide to remove the placard.
2.) The Cathedral of Learning holds the campus’s first computer lab, although the technology has been updated over the years. In 1969, this is where a group of black students took hostage until the university obliged to their list of demands, thereby founding Black Action Society. A few years prior, the university began letting black people into the institution, but had only let in 5. Five black students out of the around 20,000 students attending. They thought, at the time, that they were being innovative and accepting, but creating a black population that was less than a thousandth of a percent is disgraceful. Even today, the university peddles around their acceptance, while behind the scenes, they blame the Black Action Society for anything on campus that any black student had done, regardless of whether or not they’re affiliated with the organization.
3.) In the Cathedral, there are several nationality rooms, each dedicated to a country that donated money in order to have one constructed. However, there is one single room that hosts an entire continent, the largest continent: Africa. The African Heritage room is an incredibly poor attempt at showcasing all that Africa has to offer, as they pick and choose tiny things about mainly West Africa, and threw them all together in a room, undoubtedly insinuating that African countries are more or less, all the same. The room peddles the stereotype that all African people live in huts, as the top of the room, near the ceiling has straw material. Once again, the university that touts diversity from now until the end of time, lumped a continent with over 300 different ethnic groups into one room, and chooses to ignore this fact whenever it is brought up to them
Introduction The problem of the twenty-first century is the problem of “othering.” In a world beset by seemingly intractable and overwhelming challenges, virtually every global, national, and regional conflict is wrapped within or organized around one or more dimension of group-based difference. Othering undergirds territorial

Thirty percent of the population and perhaps many more may well answer ‘none of the above’ on questions about race, and if that happens, we’re in trouble.
This post written by member Julia Franks presents another view of teaching To Kill a Mockingbird from both last week’s …
Insight of a about a well-known book that opened my eyes to why my high school curriculum was more problematic than it seemed. This could fall under pop culture or pedagogy as well, but this is my historical artifact for the week because the book takes place in the past and has been popular for many decades.
This text is incredibly important because it discusses how “To Kill A Mockingbird” is a problematic text. It basically says that even “the good” black people are still a danger to themselves. It also shows the inherent advantages that rich white men have in society, but the novel does little to actually comment on how terrible that is.
The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The Black mother within each of us - the poet - whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free.

The woman's place of power within each of us is neither white no surface; it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep.
Lorde, Poetry is Not a Luxury
I am a human being. I am a Black woman, a poet, mother, lover, teacher, friend, fat, shy, generous, loyal, crotchety.
