When you actually hold a copy of your own book in your hand! It’s unreal! Grateful & excited to add to knowledge on race & racism, how it [re]produces inequality. This theoretical book on race has insight on implicit bias, managing difference & acceptance.

You don’t have to be a racist to be racist. Let that sink in.
While our actions & ideas can be racist, racism is a system. It operates because we’ve set up structures, laws and policies that covertly promotes one group & their ways as superior over others.

This was the final straw for me. I felt so helpless as I saw the people we rely on to serve & protect, stand by & allow vandalism in the name of eviction. The tenant knew his rights; he asked to see the notice of eviction, it made no difference. Experience reconstructs identities
"I've told you already, it's not my responsibility if you're homeless" says the Garda to one of the 9 tenants illegally evicted last night in Phibsboro.
It is, however, their responsibility to oversee the eviction apparently. (No, it's not)

Changing the reference from slaves to enslaved; from explorers to exploiters; from slave trade to human trafficking and genocide of African people will begin to decolonise the narrative. These are some basic changes I teach in Black Studies.
Slaves did not come from Africa. People were captured in Africa and enslaved. Don't let other people frame your historical reference for you. Especially the descendants of the people who enslaved you.

Dismantling the far-right in Ireland should not be by only one group or set of people. It’s the duty of every citizen, (permanent or passing) who believe in equity and justice for all.
Let today be a lesson to us here in Ireland to work harder to dismantle far-right groups who are actively organising and spreading racist disinformation. Actions like these start somewhere.

When ‘well meaning people’ /trolls say ‘if you don’t like it here, why don’t you leave!’ What’s it implying?
- you are permanent strangers.
- shut up, put up with it, be grateful
- you don’t have same rights as the speaker.
It’s exhausting to get told this all d time! Just no!
In a former life, when I thought you cd politely persuade people not to be racist
Their response? "If you don't like it here, LEAVE". Which I'm yet to hear said to a white British person

Congrats Eugene Goodman, this is how it started! U.S Capitol Police Officer, seen leading rioters away from the Senate Chambers during the insurrection was PROMOTED. He's now the Acting Deputy Sergeant of Arms. From being chased by a mob to the Presidential platform.

I’m surprised by the people who are arguing that statues of enslaved girls are “loved” “beautiful” “art” or “requires consultation” to know it’s not nice to have to pass by a representation of a reprehensible part of your past all the time while others’ ugly past are not shown!😶

We report racist crimes in Ireland, people killed, suiciding from racial bullying, GO in court, no action or prosecution from the Garda.
The Garda now wants to criminalise pple traumatised & responding to the public killing of a Black body! What are u on!

Some are asking what he has done almost as if that will then make it okay for 4 adult Gardaí to handle an unarmed 15 year old in that manner. Or push a young girl. There is what is called reasonable force. This is not it. This can trigger fear response in young people

‘Introduce antiracism education to the curriculum in Irish schools.’ Delighted to contribute to the weekend Indo my one idea in reimagining Ireland.

Precarity in the HEI is appalling! I teach across 4 universities in Ireland & I earn less than a living wage from them. I’m subsidising my lecturing in the HEI with income from my industry experience. That takes it’s toll on research, health and family. Any stats on minorities?

We find that a significant proportion of academics and researchers are suffering from instability of employment and short-term contracts are rife in the third-level sector.

It’s frustrating that the very people who argue there’s no racism in Ireland are the same ones who respond with the most racist comments. Last week alone within 24 hours of reposting a news report about racism, I had to block 22 trolls! + Email threats & intimidation. Exhausted!

Why Passive bystanders are dangerous to victims of racism. If we leave the person experiencing racism alone with the racist, the victim ends up filled with the shame of racism. Worse still, they have people witnessing their shame. When you speak up, the shame goes to the racist.
