Addendum:

• The Origin of Whiteness.
• The Origin of White/Western feminism.
• Comprehensive re-framing of feminism.
• Undoing Racism/White Supremacy.
• Undoing White Privilege.

This is one of the best things I’ve read all day. As a POC and a lesbian it’s incredibly painful to have to explain to people the privileges they have and to also educate them about why their ignorance is a bad thing, when most of the time they are a majority and have the most accessibility to education and therefore shouldn’t need me to educate them. It’s not my job as a minority to educate you and make you a better person.
