Feminism was created by white women for the sole purpose of having a seat at the table of their white supremacist male counterparts. So any black woman that identifies with feminism is a suspected coon. You think those white supremacists females want y'all black asses getting the benefits that these white supremacists females are fighting for? But go ahead keep on being their lapdogs and spewing their talking points.
Question should be where do u get ur talking points from lol
Women like Angela davis and assata shakur identify with feminism should they not be trusted?? should we discount their work as civil rights activist???
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton were both vocally pissed when it looked like the 15th Amendment was going to be ratified because it, theoretically, gave Black Men political power before it gave white women a voice in politics. Susan B. Anthony was quoted as saying “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.” as well as:
“What words can express her (the white woman’s) humiliation when, at the close of this long conflict, the government which she had served so faithfully held her unworthy of a voice in its councils, while it recognized as the political superiors of all the noble women of the nation the negro men just emerged from slavery, and not only totally illiterate, but also densely ignorant of every public question.”
and:
“The old anti-slavery school says women must stand back and wait until the negroes shall be recognized. But we say, if you will not give the whole loaf of suffrage to the entire people, give it to the most intelligent first. If intelligence, justice, and morality are to have precedence in the government, let the question of the woman be brought up first and that of the negro last.”
Susan B Anthony very famously considered white women and, especially, herself above Black men and Black women in every way shape and form. She was racist to her core.
Elizabeth Stanton stated "We educated, virtuous white women are more worthy of the vote." when the question of the 15th amendment came up giving the vote and citizenship to Black Men. She claimed to be an abolitionist but only when it served her. As with Anthony, when it came time to give Black men the vote, their true colors showed through with shit like this:
"What will we and our daughters suffer if these degraded black men are allowed to have the rights that would make them even worse than our Saxon fathers?"
Stanton fought for white, middle-class, protestant, propertied, educated women... Basically, she fought for women like herself.
And there's so much more where this comes from:
“White supremacy will be strengthened, not weakened, by women’s suffrage.” - Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of the League of Women Voters
“I do not want to see a negro man walk to the polls and vote on who should handle my tax money, while I myself cannot vote at all.” - Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton, first female Senator and last member of either house of Congress to be a slave owner.
Actually... Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton really said some fucked up shit about Black men. Read all about it in Leon F. Litwack's "Trouble in Mind: Black Southerners in the Age of Jim Crow". This lauded suffrage hero said that giving Black men the vote would lead to an increase in the rape of white women, called Black men "half-civilized gorillas" and advocated for the lynching of a thousand Black men a week in the south in order to protect white women.
You need to pick up a book.
