Let’s be clear: discussion of so-called discrimination without attention to contextual power dynamics & histories of oppression is meaningless & counter-productive.
Asking privileged folks to be aware of their privilege & to be responsible for their guests’ behavior in a space for marginalized people is not discrimination. It is asking folks to attend to & be accountable for power dynamics & histories of oppression that benefit them.
Further, someone being made to feel uncomfortable is not inherently discrimination. Accountability is uncomfortable. Being made aware of (let alone relinquishing some) of your privilege is uncomfortable. One’s feelings of discomfort are not facts/evidence of discrimination.

Black students have been leading a sit-in at Syracuse University for 6 straight days. #NotAgainSU has a list of demands for their university, including:

◾️Expel anyone involved in racist incidents
◾️Hire more counselors that represent marginalized groups
For those looking to donate to sustain their sit in movement in order for them to purchase food and toiletries. Here is there gofundme link: gofundme.com/f/black-studen… #NotAgainSU
If you are a college student please consider having your organization put out a statement of solidarity. And have conversations on your campus about the institutional racism you face there as well. #NotAgainSU
