#HipHopEd Chat is a weekly cyber cypher (chat) where stakeholders within Hip-Hop and Education come together to discuss issues that impact the youth and adults within our local, national and global communities. #HipHopEd Chat is a virtual form of professional development for Educators, workshop for Parents and other Adults and a brainstorming session of Hip-Hop practitioners. Our #HipHopEd chats are every Tuesday from 9-10 EST. on Twitter.
We understand that many are choosing not to watch the #SOTU but we believe that we need to listen in order to be more informed as to how to continue to empower our students for the times we are living in #HipHopEd
weekly #HipHopEd chat starts now. join us tonight and every tuesday at 9pm eastern/6pm central by searching ‘#HipHopEd’ on twitter, reading, and chiming in...

We can choose to not acknowledge the man but we must acknowledge the position and the impact on our nation. This is why we are tweeting tonight #HipHopEd#SOTU#FightThePower
#HipHopEd this dude been fiddling. While Rome been burning. If we study history, we know the end of the Empire came when those within had had enough, and small bands without attacked those walls. We have a blue print
We must be vigilant in challenging the notion of "Make America Great Again" at every turn and now we must question who are the 'Americans" that are included in this pledge #hiphoped
What students need to understand is whether its this POTUS or another, we have to attack institutions, not people. Replacing one leader for another isn't going to change the systems we're struggling against. #hiphoped

Imagine the anxiety and fear so many students must be feeling. How do we have conversations that address both the sociopolitics of whats happening externally and the emotions they might be feeling internally? #hiphopedhttps://t.co/E5kBuvIj50

This is such a powerful point and therefore we must expose the system at every turn to our students and work with the collective of brilliant minds and create new systems #HipHopEd

Students need to be asked to consider these questions, who are politicians speaking about when they speak about Americans, who are they really trying to change things for. #HipHopEd

#HipHopEd hip-hop, in all of it's many cloths and skins, is more the soundtrack of personal and collected revolt now than ever. I hear coping, resistance to trauma and personhood in that music
I'm like, I don't want to watch this #SOTU , and as I think that, I realize that my privilege allows me to not watch this or virtually any other atrocities whenever I want, so I'm going to make myself watch this because closing my eyes to it is just too easy. #hiphoped
When they span the audience, we should see demographics that represent America. "For the people" should include us in elected offices where decisions are made on behalf of our communities. #HipHopEd
Interesting that the resistance and challenging of systems and governments beyond our borders is celebrated but the resistance and challenging of our government is demonized #HipHopEd#SOTU
Absolutely! Systemic racism, disparities etc is a part of the American paradigm on various levels. We mk chg by influencing existing policies not in our best interest. Ss must understand that. #hiphoped#sotu

What does a strong union really look like? Feel like? Do for it’s people? Questions we can ask our Ss tomorrow. How can we begin to reimagine a Union? We have the right to imagine! #hiphoped
"Our role as educators is to start where they are and use what they know but to also move them pass that! Hip Hop is the vehicle, not the end game!" -Gloria Ladson-Billings, Ph. D. #mindblowing#HipHopEd
You know why none of the CBC
stood up? Because Black unemployment is still 2x as high as white unemployment--we are not here to clap for your mediocrity #SOTU
I don't know how to feel, but mentioning how we "seize opportunities", I reflect on how determined our president had been on blocking the opportunities of dreamers and other immigrants. #hyprocrisy#sotu#hiphoped
My friend @flandog2006 and I facetiously say that 45 is purposely portraying this character to unify the country. How else could he justify his divisive words? Again, we are being facetious, but I find myself in agreement with opposing cultures more than ever. #HipHopEd
Take this opportunity to (re)imagine a different reality, new models of governance and citizen driven solutions to remedy the social ills that plague our community
It's to pure insanity to continue to focus on this clown. #HipHopEd 🤔
You can't use the word "typical" when stating a family of four earning 75k! Typical means norm and where most of teach and work this isn't typical for a family of four #StayWoke#hiphoped

#HipHopEd Our students, our communities need to know that the work right outside their doors is more than enough. Brick building. Topple a system pillar by pillar. Build a replacement idea by idea.
Trump claims, "The typical family of four making $75,000 will see their tax bill reduced by $2,000 -- slashing their tax bill in half." Well, it depends. #SOTUhttps://t.co/SRSiv4osCe
The tax breaks for corporations do not correlate to higher wages and new jobs, it only increases the bottom line for the corporation and it's investors #hiphoped#SOTU2018
…and he should be thanking everyone in the u.s. and all over the world whose labor has been/is being exploited to generate the profits that are being called a ‘strong economy.’
#HipHopEd
.@realDonaldTrump is taking full credit for the strong U.S. economy. However, he should be thanking President @BarackObama for the economy he inherited because he's riding on the tailwinds of his predecessor. #ThanksObama#SOTU
The highlighting of a Black face as an exemplar of "good worker" is a deliberate attempt to counter the anti-Black rhetoric from the administration #SOTU2018#HipHopEd
"If you can work hard you can achieve anything." The good ole' myth of meritocracy. Never mind the systems designed to socially reproduce the status quo. #HipHopEd
You can not tear me down at every turn and then when you decide that we should be united, you expect us to simply comply. That is privilege at its core. How can we move together without deciding our destination together #HipHopEd#SOTU
The use of "American family" as a rallying cry is oxymoronic considering the anti-family policies for citizens with immigrant family members #SOTU2018#HipHopEd
This is true. Showed the white business owner receiving the highest profits ever and his best black field hand that keeps others in line who he treats well and rewards for loyalty as he gets rich from their labors 🤔#HipHopEd

I know I can be what I want to be! Everything I'm not makes me everything I am. We got it from here. No thanks for your self service. Back to public service and changing the world. #weteach#SOTU#HipHopEd
Exactly. I'm more interested in talking about impacting systems and effectuating change for generations. Not tax breaks for friends that create more working class poor. How do we build generational wealth and business owners? #hiphoped
I'm just waiting for the day when our organizing principles come from a place of love, imagination, and infinite potential instead of anti-ness. I'm ready for that strength-based activism. #HipHopEd

Auto plants coming back to America doesn’t mean that the jobs will be available for the nostalgic worker. The ways cars are made are different so there has to be efforts to educate and prepare for new jobs instead of reminiscing #HipHopEd#SOTU
Our schools can not continue to be worker farms where we pump masses of students of color into the fields to work. We must change our minds and intentions to preparing students of color to be entrepreneurs and bosses. #hiphoped
@TheRealHipHopEd Having a tough time swallowing the huge disconnect incorrelation with the national anthem and what the movement truly represents. There is huge ignorance tied into the criticism of those who are rightfully taking knees.
#HipHopEd As a federal employee and known agitator, I can't help but feel under siege. And encouraged. The fight was going to come anyway. I choose to stand on the ground all y'all choose for the fight.
Trump claims, “In Detroit, I halted Government mandates that crippled America's autoworkers -- so we can get the Motor City revving its engines once again.”
The U.S. created 500,000 new auto sector jobs from 2010 to 2015. #SOTUhttps://t.co/7RSyTSrSma
Yes! I agree. When action is creative and proactive, it shows that you believe things will actually change and you can visualize your success. #hiphoped What does your #freedom look like?

#HipHopEd exactlyyyyy Jon! We're getting trolled and baited like a mofo by this regime.
We, the people, need to focus on building new, equitable systems and a new world in general 🤦
Bc this capitalist, imperialist ish isn't working and has NEVER worked
The word education is mentioned 40 minutes in and it is attached to "vocational" so that we can train more workers. Interesting how 21st Century Learning skills focus on mindset and creativity HMMM #SOTU2018#hiphoped
"We can lift our citizens from welfare to work. From dependence to independence. From poverty to prosperity." Is this what is suppose to happen when tax cuts give companies a chance to work? #hiphoped
The Republican Party is the largest gang! Disgusted that one would bring families on television to make an example of their children’s death. #HipHopEd What about the Charlottesville gang?
There have been so many tragedies this year. So much mourning to spread around. Why focus only on crimes done by immigrants, and not those done by Americans that look like the majority of those clapping tonight? Complexion provides protection. #SOTU2018#HipHopEd
Now to the families of all of those killed at the hands of the cops that got off... wait? No? They're not here? This is what the immigration conversation is centered around? MS13, murder, and stolen jobs? That's just sad. #Hiphoped
If we shouldn't define white people through the lens of a cohort of white supremacists, then why is it acceptable to address immigration through the lens of MS-13? #SOTU2018#hiphoped
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Are we going to discuss the police gang that has killed many innocent people? Are we going to discuss pharmacies that do the same? #HipHopEd
RT @chrisemdin: Pimping Black and Brown pain for applause and attaching it to Anti-immigration rhetoric is low ... even for this guy #SOTU2018#HipHopEd#fb
While you're listening to Trump talk shit about immigrants, you might instead read @JonathanBlitzer's piece today about how to actually combat MS-13:
https://t.co/fjXw0ptCOQ
And why is MS-13 the only gang he is addressing? Painting his picture of immigrants to further his agenda. While addressing the shooting in Las Vegas, he didn't ask what we do about White domestic terrorists, it's telling and further underlines his racism #HipHopEd#SOTU
