If you are a white woman and you want to call yourself a feminist, you must acknowledge that your whiteness affords you a privilege that shields you from a lot. You must also acknowledge that you are afforded privileges that some men in this country do not have. Racism and sexism are tightly intertwined. You cannot fight one while ignoring the other. — (via thecouscousqueen)

  9. poetshells said: This is very, very true. There is another true thing also: Some of us white girls were raised with no agency at all, and very little human dignity, just because of being female. When the first 24 years of your life are steeped in that, you begin to understand what a racial minority feels like because both experiences are so disempowering and dehumanizing.
