Gil Scot-Heron once spoke famously "Ain't No New Thing" . The slides are an excerpt from the Article "How Racism Created America's Chinatowns" by Braden Goyette. . "During the exclusion era, it was difficult for Chinese immigrants to find a place to live outside of Chinatown. "In the broadest strokes, Chinatowns were products of extreme forms of racial segregation," explains Ellen D. Wu, a history professor at Indiana University Bloomington and author of The Color Of Success: Asian Americans And The Origins Of The Model Minority. "Beginning in the late 19th century and really through the 1940s and '50s, there was what we can call a regime of Asian exclusion: a web of laws and social practices and ideas designed to shut out Asians completely from American life." . "That's really how Chinatowns came into being," Wu adds, "not how we think about them now, as a fun place to get a meal or buy some tchotchkes, but as a way to contain a very threatening population in American life." . #antiracism #antioppression #stopaapihate #stopthehate #notyourmodelminority #racismisavirus #stopasianhate  #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blackonblackbk #itslifeordeathforus #intersectionality #civilrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall no #racism, #xenophobia #alliesandchampions #notagame #resistance (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkGb6RBidz/?igshid=1ibgm6tlobiv9

Twerking is Mapouka. If you are not black or African you are culturally appropriating if you don’t pay homage to that fact. #periodt . Modern day twerking is very similar to Mapouka, a dance from Côte d’Ivoire. From its origin, Mapouka was a celebratory dance for festivals by Africans and was widely accepted because people believed that this dance led to encounters with #God. . BLACK WOMEN/GIRLS CAN NOT BE STIGAMATIZED for practicing what is ACTUALLY CULTURAL for us and white girls get be “sexy” or "desirable” while performing that very same act. . We have to #unapolgetically protect and call out appropriation of our culture. It’s already out of hand. We must not let it become #erasure. We allow so many inches that become miles. . My 4 year old “twerks” and it’s so fucking cute! I couldn’t be more proud that one day I will teach her that that is her legacy and history when she is ready to understand and further embody it. . The dance is so inherent to US. It’s in our DNA. We need to protect our culture. but first we must learn about it. From Wiki: "Historically and currently, similar styles of booty-shaking are found throughout the continent of #Africa as well as the African and Afro-Latin diaspora. Similar styles of dance are known as mapouka Côte d'Ivoire, leumbeul in #Senegal, and other styles can be found in #Tanzania, #Uganda, and #Kenya to name a few. This style of pelvic- and hip-isolated dancing is known as perreo or sandungueo associated with #Reggaeton from the #DominicanRepublic. Twerking can be said to be indirectly linked to African cultural dancing without any direct connections between people from Africa.Twerking like many cultural traditions or expressive dances associated with marginalized groups has become stigmatized in racialized and gendered ways that often associates those who perform the dance—primarily girls and women of color—with deviant behavior." #twerking #mapouka #blackhistory #africandiaspora #itswhoweare #itswhatwedo #africandance #blackonblackbk #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #magicmagic #blackmagician #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blackpower #blackpride (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5sKVLFooA/?igshid=c8uaqhlwxysk

I have to give a #shoutout to the ever dope and amazing @angelarye for showing alllllll the support recently. What’s more amazing is the fact that her explanation and connection to the design is precisely the reason and inspiration for it. I couldn’t have scripted a better summary. This episode of #onone was so dope. @repjeffries is always on point and inspiring. #ifyoudontknownowyouknow #welldone #wellsaid . #lifelibertyandthepursuitofblackness #allwewant #blacketyblack #blackonblackbk #blackskin #blacknose #blacklips #blackhair #blackeverything #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #magicmagic #blackmagician #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blaaaaacknificent #blackpower #blackpride #supportblackbusiness #supportblackart (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqySgOpWTG/?igshid=p9n7etkwaaqw

Ever notice when 45 talks about the American people, he uses “them” and “they”? The President of the United States is othering Americans. . What does that tell you about this man?
