Racism in the Fediverse: Eris of Disqordia
youtube.com/watch?v=WUXOUd2AEN…
I wanted to put my thoughts on Eris and racism on fediverse in video form so here it is.
I want this wide. Boost boost boost. I want this on every fediverse instance's timeline.
Oh look, here's some evidence about how this won't possibly go badly:

AI used by police cannot tell Black people apart: Canada's AI laws need urgent attention, say researchers
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool. In the hands of public police and other criminal justice agencies, AI can lead to injustice.Kevin Walby (Phys.org)
Dear white people: when Black people share our experiences with racism, don't ask us
"What can be done about it?"
We didn't invent racism.
And on some level, many of you know what needs to be done. It just sits outside of your comfort level.
Well, you need to learn to sit with that discomfort, then pose your questions about what needs to be done to other white people. You need to challenge racism within:
* YOUR family members who
are racist (The major holidays
are coming. Time to prepare!)
* Your friends and social
groups
* Your co-workers and
colleagues
* YOURself
Asking Black people to explain the dynamics of racism and to offer solutions, unless they volunteer that information, is asking for them to "educate you" by doing FREE emotional and intellectual labor - and most of us have enough on our plate trying to survive and thrive.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Since it's targeted, people who aren't the targets see only a very small fraction of it.
Black folks aren't making shit up. Listen to them.

New blog entry: The One About Scallion Pancakes
It's not really about food. It's about the time the Trader Joe's scallion pancakes made me cry and have an identity crisis, but not for the reasons you think.
It was really hard to write.

🆕 blog! “A practical example of the social construct of race”
I've been reading lots of books about race, justice, and history. One of the things which confused me when I started this journey was the notion that race is a construct. But then I started reading about how Blumenbach literally invented the concept of distinct human races. And about how the discredited "S…

The CAQ would want a woman removed for talking about issues pertaining to, you know, women?
Or, BIPOC removed for talking about issues pertaining to BIPOC?!
And on and on it goes...
