I hate all these sellouts for making me agree with Dr Umar
Dr. Umar calls out Gayle King for disrespecting Dawn Staley and goes off on Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James, Charles Barkley, Shannon Sharpe, and Emmanuel Acho for treating Angel Reese like an animal. (🎥 The Art Of Dialogue/YouTube)

White eugenicist narcissism.
Studies show white people are less likely to wear a mask, less worried about spreading COVID to others, and are less supportive of safety measures after learning COVID disproportionately harms communities of color. If you are a leftist that's ignoring COVID, what are you doing?

Gosh...I wonder where we've seen this genocidal practice before? 🤔 Couldn't have been U.S. policy with Native Residential Schools, could it? Russia couldn't be stealing our own ideas just like the Nazis did, could they?
Russia is kidnapping our children. It is the largest state-sponsored kidnapping of 🇺🇦 children. With this forced deportation, 🇷🇺 tries to erase the family & national identity of young Ukrainians. It is the genocide of a nation. Everyone who organized it will be held to account.

Putting someone like Meghan Markle in the group called “narcissist” with the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk is not just deeply disrespectful. It shows just how deeply antiblack and misogynist people really are.

Ain't this the truth.
What shocks me about academics is how silent they are. Academia is great at theory (i.e., I believe in equity) but not always in practice (i.e., I'm going to stand up for equity). If you need someone to have your back, you might be in trouble. The courage isn't always there.
DAMN THIS LOOKS GOOD!!

This is an inadequate response. I'd like to know what you're going to do about the racialized+misogynist body shaming and disproportionate response. Are your employees empowered to enforce a dress code like a middle school? Where is that dress code posted? Is it sexist like most?

BREAKING—McDonald's has announced it will temporarily close all restaurants and pause all operations in Russia. @McDonalds is hugely popular in 🇷🇺, with around 850 stores and 62,000 employees. bbc.com/news/live/world-euro…
And now my heart breaks for Russians as well. The moral courage to admit you were wrong, you had bad information, and you are ashamed. Damn. That's some bravery and I applaud these men for recognizing it and the Ukrainians for taking the high road (mostly).
This, out of #Ukraine, is 100% one of the most incredible videos I have ever seen. This Russian POW has the heart of a lion 🦁

To be clear: We should care about Ukraine. But not because it is European, or the people appear white, or they are “civilized” and not “impoverished.” All people deserve to be free and to be welcomed when their countries are at war.

What if I told you Europe is not a continent by defintion, but a geopolitical fiction to separate it from Asia and so the alarm about a European, or civilized, or First World nation being invaded is a dog whistle to tell us we should care because they are like us.
