Why women like Patricia Arquette continue to whitewash Feminism.

185. When she brought up race, she made the division.

If she wanted more support, better not to tell blacks and gays they need to work for anybody. They have been there all along.
Divide and conquer my ass. Black women vote democratic at a higher rate thatn any other group in America. We always vote for equal rights. No need to tell us black people we need to help women now. And black men don't owe fuck all to anybody. They are not and never have been the oppressor. They fought with us for our rights without much support from anybody. Black feminists used to hav to go to the back of the bus even within the feminist movement.
I love this obliviousness to the discussions that black people have and the anger that we see things differently. It shows that nobody here even bothers to read black publications and think what we say is irrelevant or should not be discussed. Black feminists need to hush. Shut up if we are offended. Our feelings don't matter. Only the movement that we have no power in matters. This is why most black women do not join. Womaninst instead of feminist. We can say what we want as womanists and not have to hush as to not upset the majority.
