Did you post about the black man hunted down?
Are you yourself black or a minority where you have felt unsafe around authorities because of how you look, race, religion?
What outcome do you expect from the share?

“But where are these white allies when the problems are less explicit than Nazis parading through the streets?”
Where are you when things that represent black culture are censured/shamed as inappropriate or unprofessional? A dancing TikTok or hairstyle

Is this you? (In private, offer “empathy”?)
Would you use your position to protect? Would you go to bat? Would you accept risk or harm to yourself? Make others uncomfortable? When someone criticizes a POC do you assess for #implicitbias?

Many levels of violence. It can be psychological, with words, gaslighting, trying to make the person “more acceptable” by erasing their identity or race. There are excessive disciplinary actions. There is restricting “acceptable” behavior.

Your empathy is not what is needed - your actions, sacrifice, risk to yourself is needed. Have you ever protested where you risked arrest? POC risk arrest every time outside in their own skin. Have you filed a complaint for racism or bias for another?

Keep in mind: last time we had disruption to social order=desegregation
an armed escort had to accompany a little girl to school
JFK, RFK, & MLK were shot dead
This work: NOT safe
Hashtags & tweets are often to get equity points for oneself
=fake equity

Does your identity cause you to worry: that neighbor who seems to be overpolicing your behavior on something like communal parking space
will execution style shoot you, your wife, and your sister?
most will say “just a parking dispute”

All over policing behavior that may come across as somebody who is protecting rules or culture or decorum actually is control that lives on a spectrum: other end is violence.
Do you tolerate/explain away such bullying? Or do you address it?

Some minority groups have embraced the “model minority” role
but are in denial about how easily this can happen to any minority
“Following the rules” does not protect you from this

On emotional labor: It is exhausting to break it down to understandable pieces and explain this to others then also do so in a way that does not bump up against fragility to trigger an emotional outburst that often accompanies understanding

Then this: your identity as “liberal” is your barrier and results in an ego threat when experience of being around an authentic POC confronts your limitations and you no longer *feel* “good”, instead feel shame so deny, lash out, feel attacked

That fragility actually makes all #education spaces, including #MedEd or #MedTwitter *not* a “safe space” for POC - incomplete understanding of equity is emotional labor not done that gets dumped on to the POC or, often, POC is blamed/punished/excluded.

No one is saying to stop tweeting. But have humility & learning mindset. You can’t take a course and be certified in cultural “competency.” Show respect. Expect to have gaps. Why are you tweeting? Virtue signaling? To gain followers?
