Aw... this poor #notall baby...

Maybe some liquid popcorn too.

I started to star this but then I started to think: I’m not sure? I’m a Jez reader but I like to think I’m better than a commenter. However, truth is I’m not sure. Maybe I am that shitty? But then I remember that it was reading Jez that led me to intersectional feminism. It was reading Jez that introduced me to…

Btw, I’ve now been greyed (AGAIN) at Jezebel. Haven’t posted over there today, but I did post this. Coincidence?

Or we’re just readers because, you know, we’re gray.

I’m not really sure if they’re going to bite to be honest. Right now they’re too busy singing the praises of some white woman who covered a Beyoncé song. Because there’s nothing better than Beckoncé.

Let’s all be ready for the “I have a black husband/ black kids” comments that will flood these threads later.

I really feel like you should have included at least one type of non-black WOC Becky. There is always THAT one non-black, non-white woman who will defend white supremacy and uphold it at all costs just to feel superior over black people.

It should be entertaining, given that its readers lauded the blog’s screed about how a writer with an obviously Jewish name shouldn’t be reacting to Charlottesville’s Nazi infestation because something something “white women.”

#NotAllJezzies in 3....2....1

I’m waiting for the shitshow as well. I read both there and here, but comment more there just because my perspective as a white woman isn’t needed here. But Jez is shitty in a lot of ways, so I’m waiting for the whitewalkers to get here.

Yep - Moral licensing:

Do not feel guilty; you have done and are doing More Than Enough. You have not denied the experience of your racial reality in the South. You’ve educated your children of the systemic oppression of racism (giving them the strength to deal with the ignorance they’ll face, if not already).

If you ever say something that comes off as racist, don’t bring up your black kids and husband and play the victim. Just listen to what the other person is saying...

I’ve known some myself. They are a curious branch off the “I married a person of another race so I can’t be racist” tree. Right now there is a man living in my apartment complex who is racist as fuck and has a child with his black wife, so of COURSE he isn’t racist, because his wife and son are black. Them kinda…

It depends on the mom, really. As the biracial kid of a white mom, she’s pretty woke, and to a great deal BECAUSE of us. She actually beliweves us when we tell her shit. She still has her blind spots, but she doesn’t try to pretend like having black kids makes her honorary either.

You don’t have to look far to find white women who use the following things to claim they aren’t racist:

I got a super squirmy feeling in my gut reading this. There’s something in how she kept escalating the offensiveness that made me wonder...now that she’s a bona fide racist, her ambivalence about having birthed children by a black man must be truly powerful. Did she do the trump shirt wearing thing intentionally to…

lol.

So real talk. Not being snarky.
