Abstract: This article emerges from a cross-racial, cross-cultural partnership between a Black male teacher educator who specializes in Hip Hop ELA pedagogies and a White female ELA teacher committed to anti-racist teaching. Our discussion centers on the question: "What if we assumed an "inquiry stance" to discover how Hip Hop-based approaches to the teaching and learning of ELA can advance the academic and the anti-racist skills of Asian and White students in a suburban middle school?" The study advances research at the intersections of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Hip Hop Pedagogy, and anti-racist teaching by sharing victory narratives and cautionary tales related to the cultural-political and pedagogical dilemmas associated with a White teacher's engagement of Black pedagogies with non-Black students. We offer these stories so that dreamers keep dreaming about "good teaching" and avoid the traps that befall the fantasizers and sleepwalkers amidst the current political nightmare.
