If we can talk about about how the suffrage movement was racist (which we 100% should) and the Black Panthers were sexist we’re also going to talk about how white male leftist movements were exclusionary af. Stop giving white men a pass as products of their time

So many White men come into my mentions pissed about the way I discuss populism and the progressive movement. There were literal white supremacists and KKK members in these movements. We’re not erasing that because you like some of the economic messages

We’re also not going to ignore Jackson’s genocidal acts against Native Americans or Wilson’s screening of Birth of a Nation because they “did some good things” too. I had someone claim Nixon was an anti racist president for passing the EPA. The bar is so low

We rightfully hold the feminist movement to a higher standard and push for intersectionality. Stop holding white men and their movements to the lowest possible standard. We don’t need to ignore revenge porn to have class solidarity and progressive politics
