I’m a white Jewish American teaching in Ethnic Studies in higher ed. naturally #JessicaKrug got me thinking abt....how self cancellation is privilege afforded to those protected under white supremacy
....How as a field, Jewish Studies has relied on a myth of natural and intuitive likeness between the Jewish and Black American experience as a way to leave unattended white Jewish absorption by the Anglo settler state
...how excavating my own internalized anti Blackness is a unending commitment I will make as a white person and educator of Ethnic Studies ... and I operate w in a system that will reward me whether I’m accountable to this or not
