So the breakdance lady from Austria(lia?) was doing a social experiment talking about yt access to breaking and social hierarchy, etc.
She wrote a paper about it, somehow she made it through to the Olympics with all her nonsense.
Which shows that she was playing in our faces.

Also, the B-folks in her country have been loud on social media talking about they never heard about any try outs or trials. So the real ones didn't even have a chance to compete.
This is many levels of complicity and dedication to making a mockery of a culture.

" She’s not making a similar argument about access to academic spaces or recognition such that hip hop gets equal billing to opera or ballet…
She’s not subverting the systems that give her more power as a white person and that says everything."

Good morning!
Hiring more People of Color doesn't make any of them your internal DEI team.
People come to work to do their actual jobs, not the job of teaching you or calling out company issues.
If they do, it's a privilege for you to get that feedback, not a right.

The epitome of "It's complicated."
You want to root for these guys but for decades they would leave you on the curb or pick up white passengers if you were Black trying to catch a cab. Or they would say no if you were going far.
Both illegal.

There's going to be a lot of knee jerk hiring for POC soon- but if these places are not considering you as a human, if they don't have a clear upward trajectory for you, if they don't have examples of how they have supported marginalized employees with action don't work there.

Woke up thinking how much Black genius is lost to worrying about, fighting, and explaining racism.

It's not about whether they are at the mall. Their work project might be done and they have down time. In an office ppl have tabs open and even fake spreadsheet pages to look like they're working- so what's really real is that a company wants to own your time and rent your body.

Interesting thing about diversity features- is either the show is popular or the podcast art is branded in a "Black way". Or else they won't put you on these lists. Bc there are Black pods that just have plain branding or called the Joe Schmoe Show. You'll never see those.

Zoombombing is online harassment.
As we share public links en masse, people have found a way to target vulnerable communities.
And if you think "internet isn't real life" then look at the life we are living right now.
