White Women have never been innocent bystanders to racism

My professor told us about when they tried to integrate schools in Louisville and how it was the most bizarre thing.. These lil white soccer moms throwing rocks at little Black children riding the buses to the white schools.

Also let’s talk about how the Women’s Suffrage Movement–basically the modern foundation of white feminism– was racist as fuck. They threw Black people under the bus to get voting rights. They didn’t allow Black women to their conferences. They time and again appealed to white men by saying that their humanity was above the niggers’, and Black men shouldn’t have voting rights before them. White women ALWAYS been racist.

A few quotes from famous suffragettes:

Bell Kearney: “The enfranchisement of women would insure immediate and durable white supremacy, honestly attained, for upon unquestioned authority it is stated that in every southern State but one there are more educated women than all the illiterate voters, white and black, native and foreign, combined. As you probably know, of all the women in the South who can read and write, ten out of every eleven are white. When it comes to the proportion of property between the races, that of the white outweighs that of the black immeasurably.”

Elizabeth Candy Stanton: “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?”

Laura Clay: “The white men, reinforced by the educated white women, could ‘snow under’ the Negro vote in every State, and the white race would maintain its supremacy without corrupting or intimidating the Negroes.”

Carrie Chapman Catt: “White supremacy will be strengthened, not weakened, by women’s suffrage.”

Rebecca Ann Latimer: “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…When there is not enough religion in the pulpit to organize a crusade against sin; nor justice in the court house to promptly punish crime; nor manhood enough in the nation to put a sheltering arm about innocence and virtue—-if it needs lynching to protect woman’s dearest possession from the ravening human beasts—-then I say lynch, a thousand times a week if necessary.”

After falling in love and escaping Auschwitz together, this couple was separated in the midst of World War II. In 1982, Cyla Cybulska was relating her past to her cleaner who then informed Cybulska she heard a man by the name of Jerzy Bielecki relating the same story on a TV channel in Poland, and helped Cybulska track him down.

In the summer of 1983, they finally met at the Krakow airport. He brought 39 red roses, one for each year they had spent apart.
