i dont trust white men who make jokes "calling out" white women because it& #39;s often just a veneer for their misogyny.

they also don& #39;t have the range https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏾‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

people who follow me know i dont hesitate to call out problematic white women. but i think white men should call out other white men.

Not chop and screw Black feminist talking points and put it into a misogynist blender and call it comedy.

also what& #39;s often conveniently left out about white women lying about Black men raping them is that it took the consent of the white men around them to prosecute/lynch them. white men created the myths that make that lie so dangerous. they created & enforced the laws/social order

and that terror is inextricably linked to the unrapeability of Black women. It was one piece of the terror white people wielded against Black folks.

it is a part of racism. rape is uniquely racialized in the united states because of what white men have done and continue to do.

so if i wanted a white dude to talk about this shit on a national stage, I& #39;d want him to approach it from a place that shows that settler colonialism and white supremacy—led and enforced by white men—are at the root of that phenomenon.

otherwise, he& #39;s just muddying the waters.
