I& #39;ve been thinking a lot about what I tweet. I& #39;m worried that if I tweet too much about racism it could affect my career in academia. Future departments could see me as problematic and a "trouble maker". But what trouble would I be making? A safer space for black colleagues?...

A safe where open discussions can help us be more empathetic, critically evaluate our hiring choices, evaluate our seminar speaker selections? Yes I want to do those things. So I& #39;m going to continue to do what I can to amplify black voices until, well I guess forever,

Because I don& #39;t see this insidious racism endemic to the entire US ending, at least not soon. So I& #39;m going to use my moderate platform to shed light on it. Risky for me, but Ahmaud Arbery was shot while running in his own neighborhood. Something I do everyday.

Clarification: I can& #39;t possibly convey the racial minority, much less black, experience so in the future I will be retweeting a lot more than tweeting to amplify voices This thread was more to just signal the change in content you& #39;ll see from me. Don& #39;t rt me, rt racial minorities
