miawallace I don't think all white women are racist but I think they are often blind to thier privilege. And those who are aware of their privilege still use it. And a lot of them really can't get behind bashing other white women. Even when the other person is out right trying to dehumanize another race. And let a POC get angry? All bets are offf. They are all "I hear you" but do nothing. You said it better than me. *poofed for lurkers*.

Those men who were stabbed in Portland are what I think of as true allies. The white people of SNCC who stood and got dogs and firehoses too.
The safety pin is bullshit. The think pieces are bullshit.

I had an Ivorian professor in college who flat out laughed at us one day and said you're not committed to protest if you're not willing to face consequences like jail, physical harm, etc. This was in the context of political protest she participated in in her youth vs college protests of Shock and Awe post 9/11 but the insight she gave have always stuck with me.
