âEverything within a settler colonial society strains to destroy or assimilate the Native in order to disappear them from the land - this is how a society can have multiple simultaneous and conflicting messages about Indigenous people are less indigenous than prior generations and that all Americans are a âlittle bit Indianââ (Tuck and Yang, 9).

"Sources outside biomedical science, however, have helped shape the discourse on AIDS. Almost from the beginning, through intense interest and informed political activism, members of the gay community have repeatedly contested the terminology, meanings and interpretations produced by scientific inquiry. Such contestations had occurred a decade earlier in the struggle over whether homosexuality was to be officially classified as an illness by the American Psychiatric Association. In the succeeding period, gay men and lesbians ad achieved considerable success in political organizing" (How to have Theory in Epidemic, 18).

3. How Coronavirus does not compare to AIDS
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/04/06/coronavirus-is-different-aids/
A look at the extent to which communities affected by HIV/AIDS were reviled and stigmatized under the Reagan administration and how that does not compare to the treatment communities affected by COVID-19 under Trump's administration. The article does not discount Trump's racist and xenophobic remarks but exclaims that the damage done by the Reagan administration was far more severe and detrimental.Â

âOn the one hand, that the human liking for sweetness is not just an acquired disposition is supported by many different kinds of evidence; on the other, the circumstances under which that pre disposition is intensified by cultural practice are highly relevant to how strong the âsweet toothâ is.â (Mintz, 16).Â

The urgency of intersectionality
TW: Discussion of murder and Black folksâ deaths, allusions to police brutality, gender-based violence

âLike Kate and Queens-bred rapper Nas, I also believe that when it comes to the story of Black girls in the Americas, âit was written.â However, we diverge radically on the beginning and end of this mythic taleâ (Shange 110-1).Â

#WhiteFeels
âFinally, to rationalize her #WhiteFeels and the denial of Black subjectivity, Kate positions Robeson as a colonial settlement in which she has rightful dominion. Rather than a benevolent vision resonant with the âCommunity, Social Justice, Independent Thinkersâ mission of Robeson, Kate here advances a plainly imperial view of the school space: âThis is not your schoolâit is our schoolâ (Shange 79).Â
âIn the afterlife of slavery, this ubiquity of enforcement has transmogrified into the figure of the white police officer, whose #WhiteFeels, closely related to #WhiteTears, is a hashtag used by race-con-scious social media users to highlight the fragility of white liberal allyship, and to more broadly critique the centering of white peopleâs emotional experiences at the experience of material costs to Black lives and lives of color. For more on #WhiteFeels, see Damon Young, âWhite Tears, Explained for White People Who Donât Get Itââ (Shange 79).
