speaking the truth about how white women perpetuate and benefit from racism makes her,a woc,a troll? you really need to read up on intersectional feminism and #whitefeminism.

it’s not a presumption about your life. it’s just the way ,of many, of whiteness manifests itself.

you are entitled and oblivious or things such as womanism,black feminism, Chicana feminism and on and on and on. women of color didn’t create these groups for nothing.

exactly. they want women of color to coddle them into reality. we shouldn’t express our legitimate anger and frustration with them unless they deem it necessary.

she’s not a troll.

white feminism always perpetuates racism. that’s why the term was coined.

it is primarily geared toward white,cis and hetero women. surely,you don’t think having a handful of articles (with just as many women of color contributors) makes this website diverse?

i agree with everything you’ve said. keep your head up,sister.—black woman jezzie.

Also an extensive “This American Life” episode on the over-disciplining of black PRESCHOOLERS.

Wait has this suspension been for a whole fucking year or are they just trying to get it removed from his record?

WTH is up with everyone on here like “I wonder what would have happened if person was x and the other was x” JFC this is racism. We all know it. The child was suspended because he’s black. Quit pretending like there’s some other fucking reason.

I think no trigger warning is needed because this picture shows the reality of how race relations have been dealt with and the consequences of racism

Emmet Till’s mother demanded an open casket so the world would have to see what racists did to her beloved child.

No way he'd be suspended, in that case.

Oh the fact that he was suspended is absolutely racially motivated. And it’s sad that anybody still has to ask that question, sadder still that it’s the norm, and that the parents can’t go there for whatever reason.

It matters because the U.S. has a loooooong history of punishing black men for staring at white women. See the picture of Emmett Till someone posted.

LOL yup. This is what Feminism™ is all about. White Grrl privilege.

I believe the question you’re looking for is “would he have been suspended?”
