I am not trying to erase their past battles for equality, but if your advocacy doesn’t include people of color then your advocacy does nothing but add to the alienation of people of color that’s not even my opinion that’s literally what I’ve learned from listening to Black women and activists

within the same system, white women will benefit and be protected while women of color will not. that cannot be ignored.

trump is racist. his policies are racist. that also cannot be ignored. his beliefs, his actions, and his current position of president of our fucking country puts women of color and people of color in danger. showing support of that, even by showing up for a traditional photo op with him, shows disregard for everyone who is not like them.

feminism that only benefits white women just simply isn’t good enough. advocacy that only benefits white women isn’t enough. I’m not trying to erase their past efforts for equality, I simply expect better by this point and I’m disappointed.

that’s why I’m upset about this team going to the White House
