"Dear white women: Black women can't save you"

[boston bean]

57. Effie we fight against it. We are in it. But what power do you think we have over

White Supremacists?? We have very little power, I believe the last weeks is good evidence and f that.

We call it out. We march. We protest. We add our voices.

We are with black women. But I can’t convince a bigot to not be a bigot. They just are. Now as a social movement we can make progress but it is SLOW.

We are in a bad place and have been since the beginning of our countries history. But we have made slow
Progress.

I just think expecting allies to do something they cannot do, something you yourself cannot do immediately is not a helpful way to move forward. We are together. Yes I wish more people were like us and were together and I have no defense for white women who are bigots. But those aren’t people who will be helpful to all of our goals. We must work together. The women with black persons are not responsible for this. And what we have just been through should convince you how little power we actually have. Together is our way forward. Understanding everyone’s plight. Fighting for eachother is our only path.
