She subsequently taught philosophy at the Escuela Normal Superior (1931-1934).

Convinced that to understand the workers 'struggles one must share the living conditions of the proletariat, she dropped out of education and, from 1934 to 1935, was a worker in the Renault factories, an experience that she described in The Workers' Condition, which would not see the light of day until 1951. .

    Twerking and singing about your pussy? SATANIC.

    Having your knee on a black man's throat for 10 minutes while he calls out for his mother then dies? GOOD CHRISTIAN SHIT.

          And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, "Jacob." Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." But tbh significantly less similar then I remembered, so I’ll hide my comment

    In universities, black people have to show they're black enough to be an authority on black issues. Slam cadence is a great way to do this, but if you go up to the podium and talk in AAVE, god help you.

    universities hate black people, but in the age of standpoint epistemology, blackness is profitable. You've just got to do blackness in the right way. The artistic way. The intellectual way. Not like those anti-intellectual lumpens in the post-industrial suburbs. Their blackness isn't profitable as knowledge, only as the object of study. But don't worry, they'll send a black anthropologist who talks in slam cadence to study you.

    At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. [...] We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.

    It's pretty fucking scary how easy it is to slide back into complacency while telling yourself you're an active leftist, especially when you've got a salary. Then you remember we've got 7 years til the climate point of no return and you have a fucking kid and have to SNAP OUT OF IT YOU STUPID LIB
