It doesn’t take that much planning to just say “no, I hate that thing.”

100% true story: I belong to a Facebook group that is organizing a sister march in our city.

Just fucking vote right left

Everytime people working on a big, messy, complicated, deeply-entrenched issue (or spectrum of related issues) that spans generations and geographies implies that there can be no infighting or disagreement among them, my eyelid twitches a little bit

My angry thoughts were that the ignorant white woman was given the lede, unchallenged, and that most of the people quoted seem like they don’t know their history. As soon as someone says something about how feminist infighting “hurts the cause,” I know to stop listening.

It scares me nonnative people can come to my reservation, and other reservation, assault me, and my family, and they may not get persecuted for it. The FBI can decide to not go after the person and my court can do nothing about it.

So here’s the question I have, and I think it’s applicable to any group, working on anything. You’re going to have difference in priority, opinion on how to proceed, leadership, etc. How should you address those issues? What WOC are basically saying to white women who are getting upset is “you’re not listening.” So,…

Also, I feel like white people who realize that intersectionality is important don’t really get offended by this stuff and also agree that white feminism is a problem?

That isn’t anyone’s attitude. They’re not on our side because they’re refusing to take a step back and make someone else on the team a priority before them, even temporarily. That isn’t a person who is really on your side. That’s a person who is using you.

I was really confused by this too, but then I read the linked article and they’re right. It’s important to note first, that this march IS organized by women of color, and they chose to make the focus of this march women of color and immigrants (aka, the women who will have the most to lose in this administration), and…

It’s not straight up fighting against white women, for no reason. And it’s not out of anger or spite. I am a white women, and I’ve been watching a lot of these arguments from the inside of these groups. It’s a lot of white women not realizing that they are usurping a lot of the message (making it myopic and entirely…

Ok, based on your repeated commentary I am assured you did not read the linked article. Carry on within your echo chamber then.

So when is the “right time” to address the issues that uniquely face women of color? It didn’t seem to be the “right time” during Obama’s administration, either. Are you sure you don’t just want to sweep the conversation under the rug with a promise of a “next time” that never comes?

But you can’t get people together to win elections if you don’t address their serious concerns around jobs, healthcare outcomes, police violence ect, ect, ect. I think white progressives need be part of the coming together by accepting these concerns, not pushing them aside.

If people can’t handle the discomfort of being called out by the people who’ve been doing this a while, they’re not going to be able to handle the next four years. People are just gonna have to jump into the deep end and figure it out.

Uh, white people will come out of this administration far less scathed than folks of color. We’ve got to call them out on that. White nationalism got Trump elected. If white women are afraid of black women asking them to consider their needs, then yes, we’ve got to address it. It’s mockable. Addressing it is the only…
