Interesting that @RunSwitchPR, the #Louisville PR firm helping the #CovCath #MAGATeens has its account on private right now. Perhaps, like #CovingtonCatholic school itself, they don’t want to deal with public backlash for protecting racist shitheads?

Who you work with matters. You are accountable for the effects of your actions & choices, even as a company. I hope folks think twice before hiring them.
This is the cover image on their Twitter account. It’s qwhite telling, no?

Morning thoughts: Sometimes white FB friends post photos from an evening out & everyone w/ them appears white. Then I look thru their other pics & same deal. I wonder: Am I their 1 black friend? How many white folks claim proximity to me as a shield against accusations of racism?
And if I *am* the only black friend of many white folks I know, what’s my responsibility for or complicity in their white liberalism? Been thinking about this after I heard someone I sort of know claiming to be friends with me in a discussion about race & I was like who? what? 🤔
FYI if you’re Facebook friends with me we aren’t necessarily friends. If you follow me we aren’t necessarily friends. You can’t claim me as friend if we’ve never had a one on one convo or you can’t name basic shit about me like where I’m from, my partners’ names, etc.

Ok #AcademicTwitter: Madison is looking at another 8 in of snow Sun into Mon then dangerous wind chills Wed as low as -55. It seems likely @UWMadison will have to cancel since one can get frost bite within 5 min at that temp & the majority of our students walk/bike/bus to campus.
Normally cancelled classes don’t faze me but I’m teaching this giant lecture this semester. Anyone have suggestions on ways (software) for me to record my lecture at home (that is, a video of my slides & my voice) to upload so we aren’t too far behind? Even fancier: live stream?

Can I instead write an article about how the concept of guilty pleasures in based in classism, racism, & sexism instead? Because “low brow” often means poor/working class, racialized or feminized things? How bout that article?

#AcademicTwitter #Elitism
Further, half the things people are replying about—sci-fi (my own research), reality TV & gaming—are things people do actual real research on already.
I also feel like this article concept is another way of performing that academics can’t embrace pleasure, that work can not be pleasurable. I say fuck that and read @adriennemaree’s new book Pleasure Activism next month when it drops.

More on the #CovingtonCatholic debacle. PART 2 -- AFTERMATH AND ANALYSIS (now with even more sources)
There appears to be a horrible culture brewing at CCH. It is, as stated, an all male school staffed entirely by a white administration. Any students of diversity are pretty much hazed.

Last month, one of its star graduates was charged with a violent rape, his second accusation in fact.

My final(ish) take on the #CovingtonCatholic debacle. PREPARE YOURSELF! Part 1 -- THE INCIDENT

Even watching the full, 2 hour video does not exonerate those boys. People who want them to be innocent point to it as: "They were provoked."
The student's mother came out with: "Those black muslims made those boys act that way." Here's where I call bull.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
First of all, they weren't "black muslims," they were member of the Black Hebrew Israelites sect, a rather extremist group based in Black Judaism. As someone said: "If you're from the hood, you know to ignore them."

Here's the video of the obnoxious and insulting Group of Black men who were engaging w/ #CovingtonCatholic kids. Its long so I'll list minutes to look at in this thread. #NathanPhillips #nicholassandmann bit.ly/2RW45bG
Min 38:20 - first appearance in video. Kid covers MAGA hat as BM walks towards him. BM says “See now you got these pompous assholes gonna come down here in the middle of a Native rally w/dirty ass hat on?”
Min 46:00 - BM proceeds to rudely insult Priest. #CovingtonCatholic kids walk over to offer him support. It didn't look like the Priest was a part of their group but not sure.
Min 50:00 - Kids walk away from BM and gather to left of Lincoln steps

America has spent the better part of the last 50 years telling Black people that OUR problem is our "culture". White privilege is creating lineage of racism and no one trying to have a "cultural" conversation about how you raise your kids.
#CovingtonCatholic
There is a problem with the white family dynamic that needs to be addressed. It starts at home and we need to talk about their culture producing violence.

Sounds funny? I don't see why since you nod your head in agreement when this is said about Black people. #CovingtonCatholic
Just last week yall let a white man tweet that lack of diversity in journalism was because Black culture just isn't interested in it.
Well maybe there's a lack of white kids invested in racial justice because their culture isn't interested in it.

Excuse me, Sir. You are the editor of a respected publication. Why not do some due diligence before retweeting baseless smears at innocent kids

The kids were victim of numerous verbal racist attacks. Then grown men walked into kids space and banged drums in his ears. Retract
.@richlowry - why are you gaslighting innocent kids, who were chanting songs for their school, and just stood there and laughed when confronted with professional agitators?

Did you know those boys are being doxxed and people offered bounties to attack them?
Does @NRO condone behavior of grown men who stare down frightened children and bang drums in their face while camera crews capture it to dox them nationally?

I was watching this video waiting for a moment where the kids at #CovingtonCatholic did something truly outrageous, like getting into a physical altercation.

But there's none of that in this video. All I see is stupid kids WHO DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER, NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER.
But apparently, SOME SCHOOL STUDENTS MAKING IDIOTIC COMMENTS **TO THEMSELVES** is enough for the internet to attack them.
What the fuck is Anna Merlan of Jezebel doing? ruining the lives of children?
