  1. You just can’t make this up.
    Add “having vocal cords that work” in the list of things one can’t do while Black. The latest example stems from a cafeteria worker in Nevada who filed a lawsuit because a few white teachers complained about her “Black voice.”

  2. A Texas judge on Thursday said the Barbers Hill Independent School District can punish a Black student who wears his hair in long locs without violating Texas’ new CROWN Act, which is meant to prevent hairstyle discrimination in schools and workplaces.

    The decision came after a months - long dispute between the district and Darryl George, a junior at Barbers Hill High School who has been sent to in-school suspension since August for wearing his hair in long locs. Legislators last year passed a law called the Texas CROWN Act that prohibits discrimination on the basis of hair texture or protective styles associated with race. Protective styles include locs, braids and twists.

  3. The paper is: Jones, D. (2000). Group nepotism and human kinship. Current Anthropology, 41(5): 779-809

    It's long and I can't do it justice here, but it is rich with examples of how real-world #kinship obligations work,
    and even talks about #ethnocentrism and #ethnonationalism.

    Group nepotism is when relatedness is combined with #coordination, i.e., there is sufficient #ingroup #solidarity
    for the group to act as a #collective.
