How White Women Use Strategic Tears To Silence Women Of Colour

[naomi24]

When man’s inhumanity to man, or indeed woman’s inhumanity to woman, makes you weep, did you know that your tears are, according to one Ruby Hamad, “a form of emotional and psychological violence that reinforce the very system of white dominance that many white women claim to oppose”?

No? Me neither.

You couldn’t make such tripe up – but she clearly can.

What a crock of ....

[ummmm]

I'm doomed.

[rowanwitch]

Oh for crying out loud!

[EDDIE51]

Such utter rubbish is best ignored. I would not even grant her the satisfaction of a reply.

[Old_Geezer]

Wow, and I though you only used that on your menfolk ! Devious lot ain't you.

[naomi24]

It would be good to know what she actually wants. This nonsense exacerbates racism.

Why are you directing me to your thread?

[-Talbot-]

Maybe she would like your opinion...just a thought.

[Spicerack]

Black women cry too. ;-)

Jesus, that article is so full of contradiction and hippocrasy I could read past the 3rd para. What an awful woman.
She writes on Twitter ‘if You’re offended by my Guardian article then you are the problem’. What a charmer.

sp, //Why are you directing me to your thread?//

I didn’t ‘direct’ you to my thread. I said, ‘I wonder if you’ll be kind enough to look and comment here’, which makes my reason for inviting you clear.

During a discussion a few days ago you told me:

//You're a white woman. Your view of racism is based on your limited experience. You should listen and learn. You need to hear the other side of the story. You are the recipient of white privilege. There's nothing wrong with that - we should all celebrate out good fortune, but for you as a white woman to talk to me about racism - that's pathetic. I'm sure you'd agree if your thought about it. You know very little.//

In view of that^, and in recognition of your in depth, personal experience of ‘black disadvantage’ (presumably the opposite of ‘white privilege’) I was rather hoping you’d tell me what this woman is talking about and what she actually wants and expects. In anticipation of enhancing my education I am heeding your advice. I’m listening.

[sp1814]

I can’t tell you about this white woman.

You’ll need to look elsewhere for an answer, as I have zero interest in this thread.

[-Talbot-]

Now you are here why not express your opinion?

[Togo]

Haha. Boom Boom Naomi. :))

[Togo]

Is she the one that Ali G used to call "mah Jully"?

[naomi24]

sp, do I detect a hint of disdain there for “this white woman”? How about if I tell you that, as far as I’m aware, “this white woman” is the daughter of Lebanese refugees? As I understand you, only people from ethnic minorities appreciate the sufferings of ethnic minorities and since her ramblings are anti-white your reluctance to criticise them doesn’t surprise me, but having said all that, by your own reckoning, her heritage most definitely qualifies her to hold forth on the subject and therefore I’m at a loss to understand why you have no interest in what she’s saying. Curious.
