FrisbeeDude 10/06/18 3:33:09 PM #35:	https://theundefeated.com/features/black-women-say-white-feminists-have-a-trump-problem/ According to exit polls, that is the percentage of white women who voted for Donald Trump. Whose votes helped hand the presidency to a man who said women who have abortions should face punishment and bragged that he grabs women by the pussy" It feels like women betrayed us, Madonna told Billboard magazine earlier this month. The triumph of President-elect Donald Trump represents the failure of many things. One of them is white feminism, black feminist author Tamara Winfrey Harris wrote on bitchmedia.org after the election. Even though a majority of white women voted for Trump, white feminists are now urging resistance to his presidency. Theyve called for solidarity across racial lines and for a massive Womens March on Washington the day after the inauguration But a vocal segment of women of color, especially black feminists, are saying, hold up, pump the brakes. While white feminists are issuing all-hands-on-deck calls to stand against a Trump presidency, these women say, they havent worked hard enough to even win over a majority of their own ranks. (Polls show 94 percent of black women the highest percentage in the nation voted for Hillary Clinton, as did 69 percent of Latinas.) And where were most white feminists when women of color, lesbians and transgender women were marching in the streets to protest police shootings, and other issues important to nonwhite, or non-middle-class women? Women of color stand ready to protest some of them are key organizers in the Womens March on Washington, others have voiced support, others will be protesting in their local areas. But this whole ally thing feels a little one-sided. Theres an elephant in the room, some feminist thinkers say. And its an old one, with a history that stretches back to the foundations of feminist thought. Black women especially are saying that if white feminists want them to make common cause, there needs to be a reckoning with old business. --- If you're not voting like a black woman, your opinion doesn't matter to me <cite>FrisbeeDude posted [p:910069441] in Blame whit...
