You're pissing off a lot of pawgers and black feminists with this post

I don't think Black feminists really feel like they share a struggle with white women, Black feminists just use feminism primarily as a way to shyt on Black men

 

[Roland Coltrane]

They may have treated us like trash back then, but they stay givin up that white guilt p*ssy today.

this in poor taste given the subject matter

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Soul on Ice was a mess. He was obsessed with white women and literally hated and raped BW and girls.

He was disgusting.

it always surprised how that part of his life is often glossed over


you can't have people like that be prominent in your organization, or in your organization at all really. that's a bad look

 

[Roland Coltrane]

a Black feminist on twitter even said that White women had a less privilege than Black male slave.

I think I remember her. I can't remember whether she deleted that post or deactivated her twitter altogether.

I think we should focus on white men and their racism.

WHY?

He wrote a nice apology.

yeah i knew this for a while now. just in case anyone is interested there's a book called 100 years of lynching that details the level of cruelty on the part of white women during slavery. i warn you though it's a tough read, tears literally came into my eyes


so nah i was never under any illusion that they were some innocent party. same goes for jim crow era and today's racism, they can be just as vicious as their male counterparts

But reparations are an issue. The money isn't the problem. Not surprising these aggressors don't even want to feign accountability.

I was gonna say this. Has someone been arguing that White women were just the innocent victims of the slavery era?

Yes., even on this site

It's in Soul on Ice, he wrote an essay about how fukked up he was and how he gotta be a better Black man and how there can be some Black male, female Utopia.

You gotta read the book.

Yeah I only remember his overall racial and gender philosophy and how he and his lawyer fell in love. I read it 5 years ago and was in shock and awe.

I believe he was a psychopath.

I think the author of the book was challenging the false notion that's promoted now in academia and media. That feminism is some extension of the kinship that white women and Black women have always had in this country.That the white man is responsible for oppressing all other groups of people, and that white women were powerless to prevent it.

I don't care what you say, I'm laughing. I ain't never heard that shyt in school and I woulda clowned anyone who tried it.

Before you laugh. think about how many times you heard the term "post racial America" when Obama was in office. Media gatekeepers promoted that lie then, and they're promoting false stuff about feminism and intersectionality now

Post-racial America was a dumb claim that got exposed real fast, but what does that have to do with White slaveowning women in the 1800s?

Not that I'm gonna bother to do the research but I don't even think that's what intersectionality is about. I thought intersectionality was about folk that got multiple layers to their oppression (like being Black and a woman, or Black and gay), not about all oppressed folk joining together on some kumbaya shyt. Oppressed people of different backgrounds joining together in the struggle is something different and White women are way exposing themselves if they think they are equal partners in that.

Think of how the White woman is even portrayed and thought of in media, when you ever seen an evil and terrible White woman do anything evil and terrible to a Black person or a person of color? Get Out was the only movie that really showed the role of women in racism and people thought she was brainwashed to be like that and not genuinely like that.

The White slaveowner woman in 12 Years a Slave was evil as hell to Lupita.

There have been a few others recently, but I think historically you mostly right.

Women are the handmaiden of an oppressive society. Men oppress to protect women. Women raise oppressors.

This is true as hell not just here but in other countries too. In some of the most sexist societies, it's the mothers who are straight teaching their sons to be that way.

Intersectionality in theory is what you described but how it is played out among the Black Twitter sphere is this.
Black woman is more oppressed than everybody else because she's Black and a woman right. But then being a woman is worst than being a man because men can be patriarchs, so all women are more oppressed than all men unless they are gay or bi. So that means, straight Black and Latino men have more privilege than a White woman.

Intersectionality types end up making broad and specific generalities based off of like social intuition instead of actually looking at stats and figures that shows that Black and Latino men are like the worst off of all of America.

Intersectionality in theory should reveal certain facts of our society like Black men and Latino men aren't patriarchs and are victims of patriarchy because patriarchy based on the oppression of underclass males. Or that Black women are really doing way better than Black men or White women are actual co-consiprators and not victims of White patriarchy. But instead of this revealing nature of intersectionality theory, intersectionality in practice obscures and people go out of their way to make bad guys out of classes of people that aren't bad guys.

Yet another reason to stay off of Twitter.

Don't forget Native Americans though.

Sorta. I just finished the book (Audible) last week.

She is challenging the "southern belle" myth. White women were always seen/portrayed as innocent victims -- and not apart of the enslavement of our people --- but they were.

Many owning, trading and running large plantations. They also were more brutal than White men in many cases.

The book goes over sourced stories of white women engaging in every part of slavery. It mainly aims to break the "Gone With The Wind" narrative White women and White men love to uphold.

Thanks for the correction.
I assumed it was written to shatter any myth about white women and Black women have this history of alliance in this country. I've read articles in the past promoting this myth by playing up female (white)abolitionists working with Black women. Also articles talking about plantation mistresses being the "good cop", educating and protecting enslaved Africans from punishments and being sold off. In both cases, these stores were used to bolster the case that Black women should join the feminist movement. I thought this book was deliberately shattering those myths with a sledgehammer.
