It means that white women often have safety nets in the form of familial financial security that is less guaranteed for WOC, who are less likely to have generational wealth or access to financial, professional, or educational resources. The same is true for MOC. I surely hope that is not news to you.

So they won’t, and that is fine. I’m a WOC so I won’t be participating in this - I don’t have the luxury of potentially losing my income because there is no mommy or daddy or husband in my life to pick up the slack. But I certainly hope those that are able are willing to put their money where their mouth is for once.…

Does that make any sense? I may have just rambled out my own insecurities and privelage on you. I’m sorry if I have. That’s not my intention. All my feels are all over the place lately.

Fantastic article, Clover. I’m glad that there are so many similar comments because before I even made it halfway through I was struck by the profundity of this writing. Excellent job.

Three?! Has it only been THREE weeks now!? This is the beginning of week three?! I thought at least a month, despite knowing last week was week 2. Time is weird in the upside down.

A coworker I actually like quite a lot insisted that Trump has to be really smart, implying he would have to be in order to have any of the arguable “successes” he has enjoyed. Rather than explain to her the concept of nepotism, and how whiteness confers a lot of successes having nothing at all to do with the…

Child porn. It’s the only thing I can think of that would pierce the apparent teflon these morons are using to escape pushback from the public. Or perhaps some kind of video evidence of homosexual acts, or weird sexual whatever (dick pics of unattractive elderly dicks). Let’s be real, we’re dealing with the dregs of…

I would say denial more than pride. You’d have to be sticking your fingers in your ears and going “la la la la la” and refusing to accept the validity of the mass dissent to still support this guy. He is ragingly incompetent. The only way to ignore that is to full out ignore it. You could not engage in a rational…

My favorite part was how Bannon had to come up with a 10 step checklist before they went live with one of their crockpot EOs. They’re all so, so, so fucking incompetent.

And you’re still a piece of shit! So we’re all recognized for exactly what we are in the end :)

I would like to know what’s going to happen to the government departments and workers that are defying the Supreme Court’s rulings and enforcing the ban anyway? If memory serves, for several days after the first ruling, they were ignoring it and continuing to detain passengers and turn people around, denying them…

Don’t know this person’s history of trolling but you know it’s a troll because no white woman is going to publicly admit she voted for Trump. Besides the evangelists and rednecks, white female Trump voters are too busy pretending to be outraged while secretly relishing their daring independence and fervent, secret…

You’re a piece of shit, seriously. Fuck you.

Glad they just fucking canceled him instead of working around it like last time.

Oh, shut up.

She’s wearing the kind of bra I have to change out of if I’m sending sexts hahaha

You’re a fucking idiot. Probably because we haven’t had any other presidents that are so insane they would push through unconstitutional executive orders.

This has been an ongoing theme, people who voted for Trump will lose benefits. For some reason they thought Trump would provide for the white people while stripping support for brown and black people.

I think part of it is an effort to appear truly American. It’s kind of like internalized misogyny: by behaving like a “better” minority and attempting to be a model minority, they may believe that they’re both better than their peers and less likely to be impacted by legislation and cultural beliefs.

Can you elaborate on when/how they are starting to break ranks?
