I know I always get annoyed when people use that as an excuse, but now I get it to an extent. It takes more work to look at the big picture when it's close to home.]]> 2021-03-04 22:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271517791 alyseliebovich https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271518644 The idea that white people's fear of Black people "taking over" ... just stop.]]> 2021-03-04 22:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271518644 jerryoswalt https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271518901 Angela Davis' struggle and the retaliation she faced for attempting to empower and educate her peers.

I can't imagine. There are absolutely disgusting things recounted in this book, and I've never had to worry about them happening to me. I can't imagine how tired POC must get from dealing with this all of the time, because their awareness of it doesn't stop when they put the book down. ]]> 2021-03-04 22:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271519588 https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271521723 I appreciate the love for Angela Davis, but I was a little disappointed he didn't say more about Ida B Wells.]]> 2021-03-04 22:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271521723 alyseliebovich https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271522748 2021-03-04 22:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271522748 https://padlet.com/megangrizzell/kioigy2bul4it05g/wish/1271524255 The whole "war on drugs" is bananas.
