Here's a statement: "White women uphold white supremacy." (1/x)
It's not a crazy statement. And before your kneejerk #notallwhitewomen gets triggered, all one has to do is look at the voting record of the 2016 election, or at the voter record for any of the most problematic recent Republican candidates. (2/x)
This, despite #metoo, the Women's March, attacks on reproductive rights, misogyny, wage disparity, and rape culture.
Here's another statement, also not crazy: White Jews uphold white supremacy.
Likewise, do not chime in with #notallwhiteJews or "But antisemitism!" (3/x)

Because, firstly, the white Jewish Ashkenormative narrative in America has, and continues to, do a masterful job of erasing and invalidating Jews who are obviously phenotypically not white. (4/x)
Secondly, in our synagogues and pews, there isn't any antisemitism, yet still racism and white supremacy aplenty. Curious. (5/x)
The only flk capable of convincing anyone that "Jews" are not white,or do not uphold white supremacy are Jews of Color.And guess who isn't exactly interested in dying on that hill so long as we continue to experience racism,prejudice,& discrimination in our own communities? (6/x)
Upholding white supremacy doesn't inherently mean running around in white hoods or marching with tiki torches anymore than being a college student inherently means going to frat parties and doing keg stands every Thursday night. As you were. (7/7)
In short, do I think @TamikaDMallory has an antisemitism problem? Yep. But she is right the fuck on point saying that white Jews uphold white supremacy.
