How do we scourge out racism and classism in feminism?

I need to apologize upfront - I am disabled and also looking after a baby so I'm not going to be able to check back on this thread as frequently as I'd like. I will be back tho.

I've just read this by sister outrider sisteroutrider.wordpress.com/2018/01/15/dispatches-from-the-margins-on-women-race-and-class/amp/?__twitter_impression=true . I know there have been other threads where black women (or other ethnicities) have said, racism is a massive problem and there's been a large, reflexive defensive reaction from white women here.

I'm too tired to articulate this properly now in support of what sister outrider has said, but I've definitely seen both racism and classism in action.

How do we set this right?

Evening folks. We just wanted to pop by with a reminder that we'd really rather this thread didn't become a TAAT. We don't think that's happening just yet but there have been a few mentions of a deleted TAAT. It would be great if we could keep this one on track so we don't have to delete it as well. Thanks!

Hi all,
We are just going to go through this thread now to remove a particular name, so that the thread can continue without accusation (several of which we are receiving via reports) that it is acting as a TAAT. We're glad to see that the conversation has moved from the personal to the political, this is just a bit of tidying up. Thanks.
