Probably because the article specifically blames white women for black women's problems? He's simply saying to blame yourself (or themselves), and not some arbitrary boogie man; like the patriarchy or Republicans. Feels like you're adding a lot of subtext to point out racism. Is it problematic to tip a black waitress with dollar bills because George Washington... Should I use pennies instead? Sorry, i shouldn't have described her as "black"... non-gendered homo-sapien... sorry for using "homo"... uh. nevermind.

The context of the discussion was an article making the claim that "white women are keeping black women down". That's what brought race into it. Positing that black women are the ones keeping black women down as a response is not introducing race. It's responding to a race based claim.

unbillievable Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Back to the article. What we need is a clear explanation of the intersectionality hierarchy; Who's at the top and who are at the bottom? In other words, who has to shut up, listen, and admit their privilege whenever a superior intersectional being on the chart enters the room.

Don't make charges of racism if you can't leverage evidence to back up your claims. Also important to note that your feelings are not evidence. Again, explain why what he said is racist.

It may start there, though I'm hopeful I can change his mind. I'll let him be the arbiter of if I can or not. I think it's an issue that's too important to write people off without at least trying.
