Your restating, doubling down on classic white feminism doesn't change anything. Saira & her friends have been targeted by white women who have harassed them, tried to get them fired, threatened their lives, subjected them to abuse. But here your are saying "it's the men."

Replying to @MiQL @sairasameerarao
That is fucked up & not ok. I am excusing that behavior. Certainly white women can have prejudice & act on that. But I think it's like the statement racism=power + prejudice. White women may have prejudice, but the gasoline is white male power. The system runs on that.

Reading your comments you seem to feel you have a real intellectual theory going on there, but don't seem to realize you aren't the first white woman to try "Not me, it's the men!!" That game rolls back into confederacy days. It is easy for most black people to see right through.

Is that maybe because there is sexism in the anti-racist movement?

I'm waiting for my pain pill to kick in and subdue my headache, so for the moment I'm going to read what you are willing to explain about sexism in the anti-racist movement. Please, continue.

I am saying the sexism in the anti-racism movement is what lies the foundation for displacement and victim blaming. An integral tenent of sexism is denying women's victimhood. It would make sense then that anti-racist movements with sexism would equivocate victim w/ abuser.

Isn't it abusive to black women, for white women in the anti-racist movement to use sexism against them as an excuse for their racism against black women? Doesn't that reflect a hierarchy of "woman" they are are exploiting for their own benefit?

There's no excuse for prejudice against black women. Black women are of course victims. They are victims of white male sexism & racism. That's the power structure and institution. Black male prejudice and white women prejudice augments those structures and affects WOC as well.

Your excuse for white women is abusive to black women because it provides "victimhood as women" to white women only as a justification for their abuse of black women. Using being a woman (vs. being a man) as a power play relative to sexism from white men.

If white women don't follow the rules of white supremacy, they don't get to go to another place to play another game. Likewise if black women don't play the rules of white supremacy there isn't another game. We all play by these rules. The rules suck & exist for white men.
