[quote=Anonymous]Can all the "not all white women", "not me, I'm an ally", "you are being just as bad" women just stop for a second?  Why is your first response to snap back when a black woman has expressed her exasperation with a population that rarely has her back?  Majorities of white women voted for Trump in every single election.  They weren't all in flyover states, they weren't all uneducated and there are definitely liberal white women who would rather center themselves in a discussion like this rather than listen.

I would be pissed and furious if I was a black woman and I'm pissed on their behalf. They have consistently voted to uphold democracy in the narrowest of victories whether Alabama Senate races, or the 2020 election.  They have the highest turnout numbers.  As for black people in general, that 14% is doing a lot more 
 for democracy than our majority, that's for sure.

You need to give people room to vent.  If this was a betrayed Ukrainian or Canadian right now, you'd be "I'm mad too"  But the clap back at a black woman is your very first instinct.  On November 7, most black women on Twitter were expressing some form of this sentiment. They are so damn tired and after our nation narrowly scraping though in 2020 thanks to their work in Georgia and their amazing canvassing, we gave it all away in 2024 if were are to believe the polling (I for one don't trust it given the anomalies).

Yes, we all need to fight together, but getting black women back to the table isn't going to happen if you lecture them.  They have carried far more of the load for too long.  Acknowledge their work, show some humility, stop advertising what you've done and just listen.  Then let's get to work.  [/quote]
