I am pretty sure we have some infiltrators.

Some of the things i hear are straight outta fox news. I'll see a clip of some bull, and next thing i know somebody is on here pushing the same fox news line. Not all of them are real and the goatfkers take pride in stacking up a high post count over here.

I notice too that it's men. Scared of losing their place at the top and trying to hold on to their status. After centuries of being catered to, petted, and being in charge, they are suddenly outnumbered. But not out gunned. And they want us to see that they will do anything to keep what they got.

I find the ones that like to deflect the funniest. So upset that i never really include white women in the privileged category. I don't think that white women are privileged except for the fact that they are rarely harassed by cops. Much less than black men or white men. So are black women, harassed less than men.

They forget that while they were reaping the benefits of free white and over 21, white women were not free. They were basically owned by their men and sometimes sold to others. Yes sold. Like property. Daughters sold to old rich yuckers, for status. Taught to please and serve men, lacking proper education to keep them stupid and home. Not allowed to open a bank account or buy a train ticket. I feel a kinship with white ladies. While we were beaten in the fields, they were quietly abused inside. Less harsh but still, abuse is abuse. They want to separate us from you, but as women we just can't do that. We have the same wants, needs, fears, hopes, how can they divide us if we are one? And we are, and we always will be.

So i smile when they say white women privilege and laugh inside while think of our sisters fighting in the streets for the vote, roughed up, and thrown in paddy wagons. Some privilege.

They are in the last gasp phase and we have to just let them go through the changes involved in losing power over others. It must be hard, but it has to get done.

We have the numbers, we have the vote, we have the world.
