This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack.

Given all the talk about SNAP, here's a line graph I made revealing the percentage of households receiving SNAP by race/ethnicity over time. These percentages represent millions of people in each group.
Data: USDA.
That “working class” is a transparently race and gender coded term tells you who pundits view as low and middle income workers and what type of work they believe “counts” among this group.
Reality: the working class is predominantly White women and racial minorities in the low wage service sector.
I'm giving a talk at The Institute for Population Research tomorrow at the Ohio State University and @trevondlogan.bsky.social was my 1st meeting today. So happy to finally meet this brotha.
Kudos to this journalist for talking to actual scholars, like @docthoughts.bsky.social and @christinajcross.bsky.social who have spent years studying Black families, to bring some much needed insight.
America is so anti-Black that the idea of enslaved persons being freed sparked an entire Civil War.
Economists looking at an idea from sociology literature that they will be the first to write a paper on.
The study of racism is the study of how, and in what ways, misinformation becomes normalized.
Thank you!
Ok. That was my initial understanding. But I wasn't sure without the reference group (0) for the analysis (logistic). The data was transferred out of Excel with separate good and poor health variables.
STATA users: Help. I have two variables (1) good health and (2) poor health. I want to combine these two variables into one variable: good health ==1 and poor health==2.
Dissertation title:
The intergenerational transfer of antiBlackness in the United States, 1619-2025.
The socially constructed category "White" is about race too. But remnants of Eugenics still permeate the bowels of the social sciences, which affords you the opportunity to render that fact invisible.
If you truly understood why racial categories were invented in the first place, then you would realize that a person racialized as White saying "it's not always about race" is indicative of how they experience racism.
Looking forward to attending @popassocamerica.bsky.social next month.
I started to think more sociologically when I started reading outside of sociology.
It's ironic; don't you think?!
It took me a while to realize this but the "Moving to Opportunity" project is rooted in racial essentialism. That's why I have a hard time grappling with those studies.
If a scholar gives an hour presentation about inequality by focusing on people racialized as Black, then you ask a question about people not racialized as Black, that's a form of antiBlackness.
I strongly dislike when people are talking about intersectionality and they reduce it to identities. Here's why.

We need to talk about the intersections of Whiteness and paternalism in academia.
Jealousy is just confused admiration.
My research is not about social categories; rather, my work focuses on the processes and mechanisms that make social category salient in the first place. There's a difference.
Thank you!
You are too kind. Please send.
I'm open.
Are there "go-to" articles on measuring race, measuring gender, and measuring sexuality?
Here's the original post

sometimes you fight for a seat at the table only to realize the food is nasty.
A few years ago I moved away from saying "White people" or "Black people," etc to saying "people racialized as ..." because race categories are settlers' tools. We cannot adequately address racial inequality by using the very tools settlers created to justify inequality.
