I still remember Priebus going after @JamilahLemieux & how hard Black women fought for her. And the silence from white women

Silence won't save us. It might work for some white women, but Black girls have to yell. Or we'll get run over & everyone will ignore it.

We joke about being modern Cassandras. Modern canaries in the coal mine of hate. We're laughing in graveyards because we warned you.

By the time I tweeted #Solidarityisforwhitewomen for the first time it was clear harassment was a major problem on Twitter. In 2013

And honestly in 2011 when I was on the Drudge report & a dozen other right wing sites filled with people who thought they could silence me?

It was hip young white girls collecting checks off my trauma & Black girls offering me support. Blue collar white women offered help too

And I know a #notallwhitewomen is coming & you're right. But we would have to talk about class & racism coming from middle class burbs today

And that's a section in the book. Because as a friend says "A better class of white women doesn't mean middle class & up" So you know.
