The way I took in their words was to acknowledge the racism in white women that they’re talking about and at minimum do better in myself by recognizing it, and at a next level deal with other white women pulling crap too. Just like rape culture can only be stopped when men actually stop men from raping women, white women have to deal with white women and not expect women of color to have to put up with this bull.
Their dinner concept fascinates me because I wanted to hear if there was ever a “successful” one that didn’t devolve into white women spewing at them, but it sounded like that’s how they all went which is horribly hilariously awkward. They’re very big on the “all white women” thing which I don’t deny, but their dinners were a very specific demographic of white women (it sounds like they’re based in Denver, so I know exactly who these women are—possibly literally—since I dealt with many and likely helped educate their children in my seven years there) who can pay for them.
Anyway if you’re a white woman, you just have to get through the stereotype aspect (I can see their genius though in lumping us together because historically that’s what we as white women have always done to “other” everyone too) and read this book because even if you don’t see yourself anywhere in their words (you do though…), you need to hear them and get to a place where you’re working toward antiracism rather than upholding white supremacy.… (altro)
