Without oral histories, many poc, colonized and not, wouldnt know who they are. When you say reading is fundamental and disavow nonacademic fountains of recorded info (living brains) you disavow entire lineages. Masses of voices. Most the world. Which happens to be nonwhite. And poor.

And i dont source, but you can go look it up later. I talk like im in my living room on this blog.

When your aunties, grammys, grandpas, mama told you bout people before you, the world, did you ask for sources, citations, corroboration, degrees, certs, credits, press? Before you heard em and at the least said hmm or took it to heart even? Did you refuse to acknowledge them as valid if they didnt produce it?

Who does the focus on books and college as the only info source disavow?!

Really?
