This sign was in protest of UC San Diego for not returning the bones of indigenous people that was found under the Chancellors home. This picture speaks volumes because currently indigenous people make up 0.5% of the student population on campus. Not only are we occupying indigenous land, but the UC system…[Read more]

This week we talked a lot about the way that women specifically black women are mistreated and are racialized in multiple ways simply for having emotions. I connected this to the way that black women are not listened to in the health care industry. Studies have shown that women are more likely to be dismissed about their symptoms and are made to…[Read more]

Since we talked about Black Lives Matter I chose these picture because I want to focus on the intersectionality of social movements, gender, and sexuality. I tend to see a lot of homophobia and transphobia in communities of color. The work that queer people do is often undermined and not recognized. It is important to…[Read more]

Someone has previously mentioned the documentary Precious Knowledge in our class but I feel that this documentary fits in very well with this weeks discussion about why Ethnic Studies is necessary. In the film Precious Knowledge the teacher and students talked about how the class and course content finally represented their lived experiences.…[Read more]

Since we talked about Hip-Hop this week, which can be a very male dominated field, I wanted to highlight Tierra Whack. Tierra Whack is insanely creative and there is honestly no one in the industry doing what she does. Whack World, her most recent album is composed of 15 songs, 1 minute each, and she made a 15 minute music video for each one of…[Read more]

I chose this image because I believe it relates to our conversation on Friday about being a good ally. Shaun King is a very popular social justice activist, who has a large platform on social media. Although he claims to be for the people, he has been accused of elitism, exclusion, stealing money from…[Read more]

The photo I chose this week is from an interview of Angela Davis in 1972 from California State Prison. I chose this picture because Angela’s description of the everyday violences that black people face really resonates with the reasoning behind the Black Panther Party and Malcolm X’s push for self defense. Angela Davis responds to the interviewer…[Read more]

I chose a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. because I learned a lot about him this week, more than I expected to. I realized I had a single story of him for which I judged him on. I often compared him to Malcolm X and criticized MLK for not being as ‘radical’ as Malcolm and for often playing respectability politics. I thought that he was only…[Read more]
