There's a lot of discussion about what feminists can and should be doing to be anti-racist, and I wanted to start a thread to discuss ideas.
This isn't for bashing white feminists, or for arguments that not all white women are like xyz; those are happening on other threads. Nor is it about BLM, the organisation. While I support the movement, not a fan of the organisation. Again, other threads to debate this on.
One suggestion on another board was about white women in positions of hiring power could look for specific opportunities to hire/support BAME women. It's a great starting point, but many of us aren't in this position.
Any thoughts?
My own starting point has been to read. ' Black and British' has been a fascinating book, and will absolutely inform the way I teach (I teach English) looking for texts that aren't like 'Of Mice and Men' where Black people are represented, but primarily as victims and instead include BAME British, female voices that counteract this sort of narrative that kids have been overexposed to for so long.
