This interview has been shared around my (liberal feminist) Facebook feed like crazy today.
I thought it was a good article, but the thought I can't get out of my head is that if you replace 'white' with 'male' in many sections of the article, it sounds so much like radical feminism (which all the friends who praise this article roundly dismiss as 'bigoted'). I just can't get my head around the mental gymnastics required to not see the similarities, nor have I ever heard a good explanation of why transracialism is different to transgenderism.
"It is white supremacy that told her that any black people who questioned her were obviously uneducated and unmotivated to rise to her level of wokeness.... And if racial justice doesn't center her, she will redefine race itself in order to make that happen. It is a bit extreme, but it is in no way new for white people to take what they want from other cultures in the name of love and respect, while distorting or discarding the remainder of that culture for their comfort. "
I haven't the time or energy to have this conversation on Facebook today, but I needed to share somewhere.
