#RufusPTurner was a #polymath and a frigging #genius at a time #whitefolks were #lynching people like him--us.
"At age 17 he wrote the first of his nearly 3,000 articles, mostly having to do with radio electronics"
"With 40 books on #radio #electronics to his credit[...]Turner, who also wrote #books on #technicalwriting"
You'd think that he'd get his due in the #engineering community. If anyone is aware of a #autobiography or #biography post it now!

CW: Discussions of Racism
Soooo while the government is attempting to impose #whitesuprecist & #fascist dreams from the 1950s on the rest of us. #technology and #economics are moving forward. The world is not so encumbered. Think about it. None of us can have nice things because a few #whitefolks can’t imagine doing well with #brilliant, #beautiful, #innovative, & #creative #blackfolk leading.

Here's the thing: It's my #POC community & as I'm a part of that, some of my #responsibilities is to address it within that community. It's not #WhiteFolks' jobs to do that - calling out/calling in/educating #diaspora Asian folks suffering from #InternalizedRacism & hurting fellow #Asians.
Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.

While waiting for our movie to load - giving public heads up on #sealioning for some of less educated folks here.
It's not fucking OK.
I want more of you #WhiteFolks to step the heck up a lot more & shut these fucking #covert & #overt #racist sealioners down.
Please don't say you're trying to help POC folks when you're OK with sealioning #bullshittery.
That does not fly more than an inch off ground, with me.

"Laughing at an antisemitic joke is pretty much the definition of normalisation. &normalisation is the Petri dish in which the virus of #racial and #religious hatred grows, which it inevitably does". Me: Also laughing with #WhiteFolks who mimic another culture's voice like its funny. I'm that person who shuts this stuff down pronto--which we all can do. #Equality #Democracy @Guardian #FrancinePenrose #AntiSemitism #Racism #Sexism #BlackMastodon #BLM #GetAGripWhiteFolks
