We saw with COVID how rich countries hoarded the vaccines & rich companies refused to share the technology so that others could produce for themselves & survive—all while making billions in profits. This isn't about being left behind. This is about being crushed. #FlashbackFriday

Increasingly, I'm starting to think that people saying "I support diversity" has become academia's version of "thoughts and prayers."
I'm not against diversity in principle. I'm against diversity when it's created in the image of Whiteness. People racialized as White are more likely to benefit more from the "illusion of diversity" than people of Color benefit from "actual diversity."
King Charles' coronation should be a small backyard affair attended by a small elite of aged white wealthy Englishmen. But the charade needs the world, and the formerly enslaved and colonized. Know this, there has been only been one king of the world and that is Muhammed Ali.

"In colonial conquest, language did to the mind what the sword did to the bodies of the colonized" The legendary Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o turns 85 today. Happy birthday 💖✨
Because DEI is a proverbial pacifier for the purpose of making people racialized as White comfortable with working in a historically White serving institution. dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/1…
DEI efforts are akin to shoveling smoke. It looks like people are doing something but nothing meaningful is getting accomplished.
