   This post is for the Black and Brown people who post on Mastodon. Other people can read it but this thread is to open a dialogue with our community specifically. I was traveling in Chicago for most of this week and I had an opportunity to talk to quite a few working class folks during my stay. When traveling I usually try and take the temperature on what is happening in Black communities locally so politics comes up often. 1/5

     @fulanigirl thank you for sharing, I wish those perspectives were centered more often. And I also wish more effort went into civic education, or hell actual education at all instead of the system we have in place now.

     @tillshadeisgone Agreed but we all have to take responsibility. I started assigning SCHOOL HOUSE ROCKS to my law students because they didn't know how a bill got passed! They were almost all white. I couldn't let them leave me without correcting that....its everyone's responsibility to help close that knowledge gap.
