Too many White women expect #WOC to be courageous, to stand up for them, to listen to them. They know they can count on us to do the right thing. They fail to back us up, even when the stakes are low, yet swoop in for credit when we've done the heavy lifting.
This is exhausting.

I think about this whenever I read one of those "Black women will save us!" posts, which is pretty often, as it seems to be quite the white liberal theme. I don't think white ppl grasp how insulting, lazy, and entitled this is.
Agreed. Indigenous/ Black women are expected to be superhuman, to pave the way for change, regardless of their personal interests and circumstances. It's unfair and perpetuates injustice.

It gives WW an out in the sense that they can feel satisfied they've given their followers a "woke" shout-out to WOC ingenuity & stick-to-itiveness. Then they sit back, abdicate all responsibility & wait to benefit from the magic. Can't imagine how maddening it must be for WOC
