Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

291. The historic relationship between white women and black men has been a troubled one for generations.

White supremacy uses the manufactured plight of the white woman as a weapon against the black man. A lot of violence committed against black men by white men has been in the name of white women -- their purity, their chastity, their honor. A lot of our racial troubles today are rooted in this made-up fear of white defilement. And white women have not hesitated to use that small amount of power granted to them within a white patriarchal system that pits oppressed people against each other. Where you see sexism, I see privilege. Fifty-three percent of white women voters picked Trump. I don't blame him at all for not trusting white women. The fact that he's married to a white women leads me to believe he's experienced plenty of soft racism from his wife's friends -- things she might not even notice without him telling her.

Of course, this is all assumptions, and we're really wandering in the weeds on some of this. The fact that people are more willing to talk about how a black man said something -- even when they admit his premise is correct -- says a lot about the dominant narrative on this board, in progressive politics, and in society as a whole.
