WTF. They need to change the password and not give it to the person who posted that. That's certainly not representative of the interactions I've had with them.

Social media and virality isn't the big thing that changed. Wealth inequality, and the downstream effects of neoliberal defunding of basically all public goods, is the big change. A few stakeholders now wield so much power that mass protests on-par with decades past are less of a counterweight.

In grad school a BM in my cohort said ā€œyou walk around like you own the place!ā€ And Iā€™m like, they admitted me and gave me funding, how else should I function? Then I learned he went to Boston College and everything made sense.

To be fair, those are the same folk who are quick to say ā€œyou only got in b/c youā€™re Black!ā€ So perhaps itā€™s meaningful in that way.

Yup! Sounds like my experience at Howard. I learned so much about the diversity w/i Blackness. Plus I never heard: you only got in b/c your Black. Such an affirming experience.
