Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Zack is in the locker room holding a microphone to his mouth. He is carrying recording equipment, and he is addressing a girl with a hand on her hip, a look of disbelief on her face (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “White people benefit from the privileges accrued from racist exploitation, past and present, and are therefore accountable for changing and transforming white supremacy and racism.”

Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Kelly, a white woman, sits next to Lisa, a black woman, in a theater. Kelly is glancing at Lisa with a slight smile on her face. Lisa continues staring forward with an expression of fatigue and annoyance on her face (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “Black women felt they were asked to choose between a black movement that primarily served the interests of black male patriarchs and a women’s movement which primarily served the interests of racist white women.”
Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Jessie and Slater listen to Lisa who is pointing at herself. The caption reads, “Our struggle for liberation has significance only if it takes place within a feminist movement that has as its fundamental goal the liberation of all people.”

Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Kelly, Lisa, Jessie and Slater are standing in front of the lockers, looking toward Zack as he speaks. Everyone has solemn expressions on their faces (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “All our silences in the face of racist assault are acts of complicity.”
Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Jessie and Slate look up from the books contemplatively. The caption reads, “Consider the possibility that to love Blackness is dangerous in a white supremacist culture- so threatening, so serious a breach in the fabric of the social order that the punishment is death.”

Image description: In a classroom, Screech sits behind Lisa. He’s looking at her with a soft expression and a small smile. Lisa is looking toward her left with an expression of frustration and wondering. A Do Not Enter sign is leaning against the wall behind them. The caption reads “In all spheres of literary writing and academic scholarship, works by women had historically received little or no attention as a consequence of gender discrimination.”
(Happy three year anniversary, Tumblr bugs.)
