Title text reads βWhat is DisCrit?β followed by smaller text: βBased on the article βDis/ability critical race studies (DisCrit): theorizing at the intersections of race and disabilityβ by Subini A. Annamma, David Connor, & Beth Ferri. Written by Mary Yoon on behalf of the Center for Racial and Disability Justice.β The image includes an illustrated group of people. The Center for Racial & Disability Justice logo appears in the upper right corner.
DisCrit examines how racism & ableism intersect to shape systems of power that marginalize disabled people of color. It challenges βnormalcyβ & calls for collective action toward justice. Check out the video, one-pager, & other resources at crdjustice.org. Created by summer intern Mary Yoon. [1/13]

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.
After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century βwokeβ ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.
Below, are the accounts of BartlomΓ© de las Casas.

Did Racial Capitalism Set the Bronx on Fire?
To some, the fires lit in New York in the late seventies signalled rampant criminality; to others, rebellion. But maybe they were signs of something else entirely.
A new book follows the trail of money from the arsonists who torched the Bronx in the 70s to the landlords who ordered it, the policymakers who enabled it, the financiers who encouraged it, and the insurers who paid for it.
