I hope you can hear the structural in what I’m asking. How do we language so people stop killing each other? Part of my answer is that some must be silent, leave enough space between utterances, so that problematizing can happen
Going back to the idea of rhetorical listening, I find this to be the most pragmatic and concrete roadmap of what specifically can be done to change the structures and cut the steel bars and alter the ecology
patience in all of us that is needed when we confront students who are different from us, who do not look or sound or come from the same places as we do

Funny how this current talking point has dominated the ongoing public health crisis...
But I like how Inoue is able to apply Weber's theory to this context...the application is effective given the parallels Inoue finds between capitalism and the classroom, especially since Inoue seeks to address the argument that they aren't parallels, but rather cause and effect (which would thereby ignore the racism at the root of the problem)
We should lament together. It builds coalitions among the variously oppressed, such as our LGBTQIA colleagues, many of whom are White
An interesting introduction of intersectionality; curious to see where Inoue might circle back to this later
