Fuck the white supremacist patriarchy and its protection and enabling of white cis men and their racist gendered violence. I made this in April 2020 and it’s a question I ask every day since then: What fucking world is this?

Who but a white Christian man who just killed eight people could say he loved "God and guns" and that he went on a shooting rampage to eliminate the source of his temptation?
Muslim men have been dragged off planes simply for speaking Arabic.

I will not say his name. He is a white Christian terrorist. And these three things - white, man, evangelical - are key because in the US they give you miles and miles of leeway.
From storming the Capitol to electing a sexual predator to QAnon: white evangelicals & impunity.

If that piece of shit was a Muslim, and IF he was arrested alive, he'd be being waterboarded right now and you'd be reading countless analyses of Islam and misogyny. White evangelicals instead are considered default, the norm, not misogynist zealots.
e.g. If the white suburban women who drive the QAnon movement were Muslim, they would have been surveilled and profiled. They certainly would have been visited by the FBI and asked if they knew anyone who celebrated the January 6 insurrection. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…
If Amy Coney Barrett (Catholic not evangelical, but white Christian) was a Muslim, her zealotry would have been pathologized, not earn her a lifetime post on the highest court in the land. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-coney…
If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles. But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman--a rich one at that--she is a member of the House of Representatives in the most powerful country in the world. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
And that is what I mean by white Christian impunity.
Compare the zeal with which the U.S. has profiled, pursued, entrapped and surveilled Muslims suspected of terrorism with the reluctance bordering on complicity that it reserves for investigating or taking seriously white domestic terror.
When is the profiling of white men starting?
Understand that I don't want anyone profiled or surveilled. I want you instead to see how much whiteness, especially white evangelicals, get away with.

When do we start barring white men from entering spas and yoga centres?
When do we ban white men from entering cinemas?
When do we ban white men from entering schools?
etc etc etc
Those are places where white men have gone on shooting rampages.

What fucking world is this when a white man murders 8 people, 6 of whom are Asian women, and it's not considered a hate crime? And he blames "sex addiction" because he knows that violence is normalized vs sex workers? Essay here soon feministgiant.com
