My first book, Say Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sport, came out this March with Rutgers University Press. Since then I've given talks in Boston, Urbana-Champaign, Charlotte and most recently Memphis. /1

Hardback copy of my book, Say Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sport.

The cover is peach in color, with four different depictions of Black women playing various sports with different hair types.

AGAIN: no one is saying pretend it doesn't exist

Are you deliberately obtuse? Or can you not help it?

Losing what exactly? The mayoral election?

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 2h

Only because you're lending out credence and spreading it. Let it die in obscurity

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 2h

No one, except you, it's suggesting that. No one, except you, thinks others have suggested that.

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 2h

Then you should be clearer in what you're stating. Because several of us understood this to be what you mean

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Exactly!! And asking someone to counter the BS of the FP is amplifying the original BS for the FP. It's further sowing the FP seeds of discord.

Every fact you post about Leon makes me dislike him more. That's impressive. ;)

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 3h

Yes. by implying you believe the BS, rather than the actual quote. You're defending the propaganda repeatedly. That's further spreading it and giving it credence. By attacking people who are countering the BS with bad takes

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

That's an absurd question. I do not think you're her. You are spreading her BS, though.

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

No. It's about how the FP should not be accepted without examination. It's about being better consumers of media

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

What?

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

Who is saying to ignore their framing? No one. What the OP is saying is that their framing should be examined for truth

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

No one is ignoring it. It's being countered directly.

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

Did you read the thread? With the full quote? Most of us are NOT swayed by the FP. You're the only one buying the BS workout reading

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 4h

I 100% agree with you. I was countering that other poster who seemed to believe the FP framing, or thinks the questions are legit

Should every applicant for every city job be asked their views on Israel in interviews? Should current employees be fired for failure to be anti- Zionist enough? Because THAT is what he's saying he won't do.

Rebecca @rebeccakell.bsky.social · 14h

This bit..When we discussed certain issues like Israel, she realized we actually weren't that far apart. We both believe in a two state solution and want the war to end. And yet, she couldn't knock her overwhelming suspicion that I was bad......she really doesn't get that she downplayed the genocide

I think he died and she's covering

The article called him a first time candidate

Didn't he run for school board before?
