In reply to the discussion: Black Millennials: "Hillary...invested in violence against Black bodies." [View all]Beacool
(30,500 posts)"In a stunningly poignant article, my Brother Ahmad Greene-Hayes hauntingly captures the violent nuances of a Clinton presidency. Referencing how racist white women formed the Womens Ku Klux Klan not to challenge male dominance despite their own horizontal oppression, but ignite vertical violence against Black people.
White women werent passively complicit in the racial-sexual terror that pervaded black communities; they were active culprits hands stained and streaming with black blood.
Genius bae Ahmad takes great pain in symbolically unpacking the Klans hood; the notorious regalia that is analogous to the racist hatred that post-racial America tries desperately to forget.
In the context of 21st century U.S. politics, the hood is not limited to white sheets. In fact, the hood reappears when white women, like Hillary Clinton, continue to enact militaristic violence in black communities and across the globe, but are excused because they are socialized and identify as women."
Yeah, right.......
