This is the cover slide of my introductory lecture for Sociological Research Methods. Throughout the semester I will use examples from Bluey to teach the various methods that Sociologists use, because this world needs more Healers. What are you teaching this semester?

We have a name for compilers of such lists in Greek, “dosilogoi.” Anyone who resisted the Nazi occupation was given up by traitors to the Nazis. These people would be led by the occupiers in black masks to pick the revolutionaries out of a line up. Those chosen would be executed by firing squad.

White supremacists should be opposed, chastised, and ridiculed at every turn. Now is the time to stand up and be counted. My grandfather didn’t die on the Albanian front and my father didn’t live through the Famine imposed by Nazi occupation for naught.

Mr. Hofstetter’s action here is a perfect example of interpersonal anti-White supremacist social activism. This is what Whiteness should be and what true White power should represent, the rejection and uprooting of White supremacy.

How did #Ottoman #Greek immigrants circumvent the restrictive immigration policies of the early 1920s and why should this knowledge motivate contemporary pro immigration advocacy?
