Staceyann Chin- All Oppression is Connected  (via brazenbitch)

i had some students of mine watch this video and take notes about a year ago. they wrote some really awesome notes on this piece. one student forgot their paper in a common area break room and an employee found it and wrote really awful comments about how this language is inappropriate, blah blah. later on she was complaining to my boss and said, “the youth must of had a lot of sugar and didn’t know what they were writing.” she blamed their astute observations on oppression on a sugar high. my boss asked me what was up so i said we were watching and discussing a poem. he said, “okay cool.” and that was that. but damn, that other employee made me furious. she completely disregarded their work, thoughts, and opinions about some really important shit. anyway, yeah. i love staceyann chin!
