I went to see it last night, it was a great film. The only thing i didn't really vibe with was how white women were portrayed as bystanders of the antebellum south. That they didn't have any skin in the game and had their own nefarious shit they were up to.
Besides some scenes at the end. I didn't like how they made white women out to be "nice" to black people. That was complete bullshit.

While white women suffered under the weight of the same patriarchal authority to which slaves were subjected
Just think of how the son inherited his father's property and the plantation after his death...though his mother was still alive and well
White women still had the freedom to vent their fury, albeit on the only people to whom they were superior... Blk ppl
And even with BoN it bothered me a lot seeing white woman seperate young Nat from his mother...only so she could teach him how to parrot the bible and parade him around like a well behaved dog
But yea I think 12 years a slave did a better job showing how white women we rent just bystanders but complicit participants
How did white women "suffer?" You gotta explain that. @desertrain10
Obviously their suffering does not compare to what we have faced...but white women had to answer to white patriarchal authority as slaves during that time
They couldn't vote, because they were thought to be lesser than
They had very little economic prospects
Made less than men
No legal recourse if their husbands were physically abusive
White women didn't vote because white women were not expected to be soldiers. The right to vote is traditionally tied to the obligation of national service. In fact women still aren't expected to fight tho men are. Males when registering to vote are supposed to have signed up for selective service as well.
White women were not slaves, they were a protected class. Let's break down what a slave is. A slave is a human being whose labor is forcibly extracted for little or no compensation for the benefit of a dominant house or society.
White women economic prospects are tied to the economic prospects of their men, their husbands and their sons. They are the beneficiaries of white capitalism without having to put in the work. The reason being is because white women are the sole facilitators of white patriarchy.
For all the shit you throw at the concept of patriarchy, the society with the strongest patriarchy will have the most protected women. It has been established by white society that if you even breathe at a white girl in the wrong way the full force of white patriarchy will come to seek recompense.
In the Black community, that is sans patriarchy you can do damn near anything you want to a Black female: beat them, rape them, abuse them, exploit them, discard them when you done with them. That has also been long established by white patriarchy.
Birth of a Nation established this paradigm. Nat picks up a toy that a white woman's child dropped, handed it back to the mother and is beaten and bout to be charged with assault by a white man. Nat's wife is gang raped and beaten by white men, just cuz. and they don;t even call that shit rape just par for the course. Aint no callin the sheriff. The sheriff is nothing but an authorized agent of a patriarchy selected to keep the "peace" the dominant society has established.
No patriarchy=no law. No law means you don't have the security that you want as a woman. Black women are neither going to establish order or enforce law, for an example I direct you to your nearest Black community.
@desertrain10
The blk community doesn't live, exist in a vacuum
Since slavery, we too are members of a society where white males are at the top of the social hierarchy...Blk women being at the bottom of the totem pole
Law enforcement being a branch of partichical white authority
A blk woman was raped during those times she couldn't call the sheriff because she was a black first and a woman second
Subsequently many Blk women lived under the threat of rape and abuse, regardless of whether it came from white men or blk men
White men obviously being the greater threat
And though our experiences differ greatly, that scene you alluded to does a great job of illustrating how white women had very little agency in comparison to their white male counterparts
While they enjoyed protections Blk men and women did not, they still had to answer to their white husbands and fathers. And were regularly subjected to the violent ways of their husbands and father
They couldn't just leave because women had limited economic opportunities at the time
And voting initially was tied to property ownership in America. The popular sentiment they were the only voices that mattered. As time progressed though it varied state to state, white males were the only group that could freely vote
They justified this injustice with junk science that insiduated or outright suggested women and blks were less intelligent, had smaller brains

Most people only know the @obnoxiouslyfresh who doesn't know anything about sports and steals food pics (allegedly), but back in the day she used to go in.......similar to how she did in those twitter posts.
Guess she just chooses not to do it on the IC like she did in years past.

You have misogyny in the bc now and it is a matriarchy.
Here's the thing men aren't going to build what they Don't control and women aren't going to build period. So a patriarchy is pretty much what builds civilizations from which extend all the securities and luxuries women desire.

White women were not slaves, they were a protected class. Let's break down what a slave is. A slave is a human being whose labor is forcibly extracted for little or no compensation for the benefit of a dominant house or society.
White women economic prospects are tied to the economic prospects of their men, their husbands and their sons. They are the beneficiaries of white capitalism without having to put in the work. The reason being is because white women are the sole facilitators of white patriarchy.
For all the shit you throw at the concept of patriarchy, the society with the strongest patriarchy will have the most protected women. It has been established by white society that if you even breathe at a white girl in the wrong way the full force of white patriarchy will come to seek recompense.
In the Black community, that is sans patriarchy you can do damn near anything you want to a Black female: beat them, rape them, abuse them, exploit them, discard them when you done with them. That has also been long established by white patriarchy.
Birth of a Nation established this paradigm. Nat picks up a toy that a white woman's child dropped, handed it back to the mother and is beaten and bout to be charged with assault by a white man. Nat's wife is gang raped and beaten by white men, just cuz. and they don;t even call that shit rape just par for the course. Aint no callin the sheriff. The sheriff is nothing but an authorized agent of a patriarchy selected to keep the "peace" the dominant society has established.
No patriarchy=no law. No law means you don't have the security that you want as a woman. Black women are neither going to establish order or enforce law, for an example I direct you to your nearest Black community.

The blk community doesn't live, exist in a vacuum
Since slavery, we too are members of a society where white males are at the top of the social hierarchy...Blk women being at the bottom of the totem pole
Law enforcement being a branch of partichical white authority
A blk woman was raped during those times she couldn't call the sheriff because she was a black first and a woman second
Subsequently many Blk women lived under the threat of rape and abuse, regardless of whether it came from white men or blk men
White men obviously being the greater threat
And though our experiences differ greatly, that scene you alluded to does a great job of illustrating how white women had very little agency in comparison to their white male counterparts
While they enjoyed protections Blk men and women did not, they still had to answer to their white husbands and fathers. And were regularly subjected to the violent ways of their husbands and father
They couldn't just leave because women had limited economic opportunities at the time
And voting initially was tied to property ownership in America. The popular sentiment they were the only voices that mattered. As time progressed though it varied state to state, white males were the only group that could freely vote
They justified this injustice with junk science that insiduated or outright suggested women and blks were less intelligent, had smaller brains
@desertrain10
Why do you care so much for white women who probably don't care about you either way?
so acknowledging that women, including white women, suffer under the weight of white patriarchal authority = me caring so much for white women
smh...
