But once again, it should never have gotten to the point where scholars like @SamiraNadkarni had to pushback publically (again).
But, at the same time non-Black POC scholars need to understand that it's not some kind of competition. Black voices and perspectives should be centered at this moment.
It's that simple.
That includes the ways in which non-Black POC contribute to and benefit from the operations of those systems.
I NEED fellow scholars to reflect on our complicity and do better.
But please understand that your silence or worse, complicity, in these situations makes an already toxic academic environment even worse for our Black colleagues.
