Here’s what I want women of whiteness to learn from the Rachel Hollis incident:
• You are not above getting called all the way the heck out.
• You do not get to use black women and then turn around and abuse us without getting your wig snatched.
• You are not above getting called all the way the heck out.
• You do not get to use black women and then turn around and abuse us without getting your wig snatched.
• Stop stealing from black women. We are tired of y’all swagger jacking us and then acting like you’ve done something new.
•Own your freaking mistakes and do better.
•Own your freaking mistakes and do better.
• Pick your struggle. You don’t get to claim to be a victim of the patriarchy but then hide under the protections it affords you when you mess up. You either need to climb all the way back into the patriarchy box (which means keeping your mouth shut on all things)...
...or stand up and take what comes to you like black women have been doing for 400 years on this stolen land.
•Stop fetishizing “learning” from black women when all you do is sit in our presence, absorb our emotional labor, & then go & do the same bull crap that you been doing
•Stop fetishizing “learning” from black women when all you do is sit in our presence, absorb our emotional labor, & then go & do the same bull crap that you been doing
•Stop hustling sideways. You don’t get to cry about the white patriarchy and then do white supremacy. That’s not how this is gonna work. You have to be for the freedom of ALL people, otherwise you don’t want nobody but yourself to be free.
There’s so much more I can say...here’s the starter kit tho. Like I said in my previous post, we are only doing accountability from here on out.
