Racism, Feminsim, and the Art of Discounting the Dissenting Voices
Problem Chylde writes about the top 5 ways that white feminists continue to discredit women of color. And I have to say that I have seen instances of these happening by white and male bloggers. And while I can’t say I’ve never done any of the things she writes about, I can say that I try not to do any of these and I’m aware that they’re all traps white feminists fall into that often created by anger and defensiveness.
It’s hard to be white and talk about racism. It’s scary, and it makes you feel vulnerable. But it needs to be done.
