Since Kevin quoted Bama54's "I'm a good white person" rant, suffice it to say the average white woman who grew up in the 1960s was not fighting along with racial and ethnic minority women for gender equality in the workforce. The majority of white women were fighting alongside other white women. Poor white women and nonwhite women were overwhelmingly excluded. Examples of this are in Black feminism (bell hooks is one perspective), the history behind the Black power movements, and the struggles that Black women faced in fighting alongside our sexist (in general) Black men. Many Black women preferred to fight for Black power than to further women's liberation with overwhelmingly racist (in general) white women.
It is wonderful if Bama54 was among those relative few who were fighting alongside nonwhite women but that was not a general truth and it shouldn't be presented as such.
But I call bullshit on Bama54. A real discussion has happened in plenty of threads. Bama54's late self is not presenting anything new. And people like Bama54 cannot have a real discussion because they still need to learn what "minority" means. People who need Introductory courses cannot have discussions. Further, I call bullsht because someone who claims to have been fighting for rights with nonwhite women would not be dumb enough to not know what minority means in this context. Bullshit...I call it.
