In solidarity with French academics targeted by the republic

In February 2021, French Higher Education, Research and Innovation Minister Frederique Vidal denounced what she calls 'Islamo-leftism' and its 'gangrene' effect on France [Sebastien Bozon/AFP]
We write to express our solidarity with the scholars, activists, and other knowledge producers who are targeted by the February 2021 statements by Frédérique Vidal, France’s minister of higher education, research, and innovation. In them, she denounced “Islamo-gauchisme” (Islamo-leftism) and its “gangrene” effect on France, and called for an inquiry into France’s national research organisation, the CNRS, and the university. The specific kinds of knowledge in question analyse and critique colonialism and racism, and support decolonial, antiracist, and anti-Islamophobia projects within the academy and on the streets. Vidal’s statements show the discomfort these challenges are causing the state, and hence the desire to repress them rather than engage them.

“You want to understand how power works in any society, watch who is carrying the shame and who is doing the shaming.” — Shailja Patel
Growing up, I was taught all kinds of myths about Black women. I was taught, on the playground, in Disney films and from the
Generations soapie that women are delicate things, that women are unambitious and are happiest waiting for men. That Black women who worked were lesser women who could not attract a man. I was taught that women were bad, that Eve created sin, that when women menstruate, their presence rots the meat, curds the milk and curses the people they may be around. That, when women masturbate, birds come to the windowsill to whistle “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton. That girls have cooties. That the pursuit of women will bring you nothing but misery.

Through the legend of virginity, I was taught that only men could make girls into women by penetrating them, that women feel no joy from sex but ‘give it up’ to please men whom it is women’s duty to please. Amongst all of this absurdity of myths and lies, I was taught that Black women are not human, but domestic agents, unintellectual and absent from history.

Men only: When false accusers are out to destroy you

Then I can’t explain how, caught in that bubble of accusation, you get exhausted explaining the same story over and over and over and over, to all and sundry.
But stay sober, stay strong, and do screenshots of all the s*** they throw your way. Coz, one day, they’ll pay!
2. Beat them to the authorities
Patel and her friend spent the Monday after the alleged incident setting up #hashtags to make sure I trend negatively.
Tuesday they were on Star newspaper, Wednesday and getting their NGO and CKW gang to put pressure on ‘#FireMochama.’ Thursday they went on Larry Madowo’s ‘The Trend,’ then the top rated show in the country to defame me to millions of Kenyans, and avoided the police, with Patel calling them ‘rapists.’
