I’m really done with the infantilizing of white women, acting like anything they do wrong is because they were somehow “forced” into it by men. In my own life as a white woman, some of the most heinous words and hateful hearts I’ve ever encountered belonged to white women. News Flash: it’s 2017. Barring some bizarrely specific abusive relationship, no man is forcing any white women to vote for racist politicians, to join the KKK, or to call someone the N word on twitter. White women have autonomy, and we are capable of evil all on our own.
But we’re also capable of putting a stop to it in our own ranks and doing good.
So stop making excuses and start making choices about where you want to stand.
