You do not see this as your argument, but those who have a history of feminism have seen it many many times before. You respond a few times, mostly stating that “the fight shouldn’t be against other women.” In other words Black women you should start fighting the real enemy: men, not White women. It’s a lively, but interesting discussion. Some point out the history of Black men and White women and the threat of rape. Others chime in to express their disagreement. You are, you admit, “ignorant” of feminism, but you are adamant that until men treat all women as equals nothing will change. You disagree with the author stating that White women have been in a power struggle with White men, because you say White women rank “below” all men and then you go on to boil the conversation down to “feminist bickering.” You reply and preface your statement with a comment about your Native American ancestry to, I suppose, establish your non-White authority-which only adds to your White authority, so you have all bases covered now. I link to a blog post which calls out White feminism and their behavior towards Michelle Obama. But we are “friends” in only the way that modern 21st century folks can be. We have not spoken in years, but respond every now and again to each other’s post. Although we have met in real life, you and I have gotten acquainted through Facebook, which it seems is where all true friendships go to die.
