I changed the title of this woman's op because it offended many, but just because it offends some doe snot mean the problem it outlines is not real

(106,538 posts)the target of MAGA as ALL women are.
I have had the worst week of my life--including directly saving lives in my ER of those who declared that my body now belongs to THEM with their MAGA hats and who now think they have license to disrespect me every hour of the day.
So now, I get to see THIS? Thanks, DonCoquixote, very much. NOT. And don't you dare patronize me further by telling me to "just watch the video and that I will undoubtedly agree with her." Well, I might on many issues, but the subject title alone is enough to make me want to throw something through my screen.
DONQUIXOTE, PLEASE STOP!!!

I put that patronizing squarely on the OP - who chose to focus on taking a pot shot at Liberal and Progressive Women.
But in all black spaces (Sunday dinner at my house yesterday) - the women - including myself -
Were vocal at our anger about ONE selfish self-serving community who thinks I'm going to come to their defense when Trump comes for them.
Black women are not here for that. Uh uh no way. Not gonna do it.
And I'd only support a woman's march if it is going to be as brutal and chaotic as January 6th.

Regardless of race, ethnicity, or status (while some don't realize that- who were ignorant enough to throw away their vote or chance to do so).

Please tell me why Black women were betrayed more than white women who voted for Harris.
Yes, racists voted for Trump, but all white women aren't racists.
electric_blue68
(18,379 posts)but Black Women have a an extra layer of experience starting from nasty to deadly with either certain White citizens, LOEs, or government institutions blanketly or individual officials within.
As I said I'm guessing the Black Woman in that vid felt that more White Women would vote for Kamala. Didn't happen! 😑😔🤬
Mossfern
(3,209 posts)but as to the topic of this thread, White women were told to shut up.
I worked in Social services as a case manager for a welfare to work type program, I know what difficulties the Black community endures.
This is a separate issue - and I don't appreciate being told to shut up.

She may remain inconsolable, she may change her mind later.
Mossfern
(3,209 posts)I think we all feel that pain.
Discrimination against minorities is a separate issue.
Why would that woman alienate women who supported Harris?
Personally, I supported Harris because she was the best candidate with the best platform ... gender and color were not a factor.
electric_blue68
(18,379 posts)alright, maaaaybe I didn't say "betrayed" somewhere. So, yeah, that too.
And distraught over all, still in partial disbelief.
Or maybe unconsciously I thought non college white women would still go more for drumphf. Idk.
Yes, I know somewell educateed women , and men support fascists
Mossfern
(3,209 posts)I was just trying to make a point.
I felt that the woman in the video wasn't understanding that, and in her fury at the situation lashed out at women who are her allies....even though they may happen to be white.
I also think that it was poor judgement to post that particular video here at DU.
As an aside: I don't personally go for the blue bracelet thing, nor did I go for the pussy hat thing. Such demonstrations may help a person to feel better, but are not very effective in changing minds or policy.
I do think that I will get more involved in my local League of Women Voters though. Where I live, they trend Blue.

(1,552 posts)wnylib
(24,536 posts)that the election was solely about the issues of Black people or of Black women.
It is divisive because she is race blaming. And that is unacceptable on DU. Does not matter thst she is not directly addressing DU. It is posted on DU.
Black women, White women, Latina women, Native women, Asian women are all experiencing the devastating risk of their health and lives, with some of us dying and others horribly traumatized by nearly dying before being treated.
Aside from women's issues, all Americans, male and female, will suffer from President Felon's fascist regime. All Americans now risk losing health insurance and health care, daily life-saving meds, housing due to higher costs of everything. Immigrants risk detainment in prison camps. People who worked hard to win the election face retaliation with investigations, charges, possible imprisonment.
Staying together to look after each other is our best hope. There is no place for such division among us.
DonCoquixote
(13,713 posts)is finding out what caused the division. There is a hole that the gop has exploited, and we need to patch it. Yes, I know many women of a light skin did vote for harris, and I appreciate them. But I am sure these same women will se that their friend voted the other way, and did not have the guts to own what they did. I want us to stay together, but as in any relationship, we need to honestly see where we are, and how we got here.
electric_blue68
(18,379 posts)I'd be shocked.
I try to pick my white friends carefully since I was young.
wnylib
(24,536 posts)how we got here. She has assumed that all White women are responsible for the outcome because she has lumped all White women into one group.
And yet, we know that Latino support for Trump, especially among Latino men, increased in this election. We also know that there was voter suppression in the form of removing eligible voters from the rolls. There were bomb threats at some locations. Yes, those sites reopened after being checked, but how many people remained at those polls to vote after the site was cleared? How many people heard of the threat and stayed away?
Why did Harris get less support among Black voters than Biden did? Did White women cause that?
I can understand anger over the White women who voted for Trump. Black people are not the only ones who are angry about the outcome. Extending anger to include White women who voted for Harris is divisive and does not an answer the question of how we got here. It does not even ask the question.
Would she now reject unity in resisting the the racist, misogynistic government that is looming over all of us and reject unity in helping the people who will be most harmed by it?
DonCoquixote
(13,713 posts)and I AM a Latino man, although I have ceased to find any comfort or even identity as they have willingly infested themselves with the GOP parasite. I can admit this poster does lack subtlety, but questions remain. I do not to be here 2028 and find ourselves in the same spot again, where the work we all do is undermined by people who will tell us they hate trump, but then they go into the booth.
Yes, there DOES need to be an examination of vote tampering, should have been since 2008.
Yes, there DOES and I mean DOES need to be an investigation of this election where Black districts in Georgia were threated with BOMBS! We can bet the FBI won't get on that because they are too busy wondering when Trump will fire them.
But we do need a plan of consistent, persistent action to make sure we are not in this again. Can it mean that you have some unpleasant conversations with friends and family? I know from experience that it does.
and yes, I do appreciate the many women , white and black, and yellow and all shades beyond and between that did vote for Harris , that worked to get her on. All I am saying is that whatever we are doing, the GOP has found a crack in the ramparts, which we need to fix, and note, I do say we, because whatever acrimony was caused by a tiktok video, we will need to. To quote Ben Franklin, "we must all hang together, or we will all hang separetely." All I want is to work stop the Gallows from being prepped.
electric_blue68
(18,379 posts)Of course women over all will suffer. Along with every other vunerable group of people, and those in intersecting groups you've mentioned!

(48,218 posts)I think the problem is that people are taking out their frustrations on their own allies, because we're truly confused by what happened. None of it makes sense. Frankly, where I live, no one seems to cross race or culture lines. So no one's opinions are going to affect me. When the Democratic party can figure out how to bridge that gap in Florida, they will be closer to winning elections.

(48,218 posts)At least 80% of them will identify with the Democratic party. For Latina Americans, the percentage is much lower, and because of all the fear that exists in the world, they will be less inclined to be as friendly as they once were.

(914 posts)My point is that white women need to SDSFU when a black woman is telling them how hurt or angry she/they are. All women are discriminated against, but black women have suffered far more and far longer than we (white woman here) have suffered.
Baitball Blogger
(48,218 posts)own purposes.
Look, I fully understand that it's impossible to say words of sympathy to black Americans because we can never understand what they've been through and we will always fall short. Though this is what causes hindrances to developing strong relationships, the reality is that unless we're neighbors and can have opportunities to build bonds of trust, there isn't much more we can do, besides quietly listen.
Listening is one thing. We can do that. Unless they come out and tell us what action would actually be effective, what else can we do but listen? On the other hand, if they're claiming that the blue bracelets are ineffective, which I would agree, I would also claim that they're harmless. Or, as I pointed out, it might help Dem women identify each other and make efforts to get to know each other.

(914 posts)I guess if we (white women) would have shown up in the polls like our lives depended on it, that would have been a good action and a good 1st step to bridging our cultures.

(8,323 posts)Donald Trump has won the majority of white women voters for the third straight time.
Even after destroying abortion rights, even after a judge went to painstaking lengths to clarify that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, and even as the Harris campaign targeted the imaginary silent majority of women hiding their political views from their husbands, 52 percent of white American women showed us who they are: Trump supporters.

There are few states whiter than Vermont AND few states that had a lower percent vote for Trump.
Not to mention, groups I identify with were strongly Harris.
Vermont residents
Jews
Jewish women
My large family, stemming from the 9 kids my parents had - I think 100 percent Harris
College educated
I assume this woman would be among the first to react with rage if someone not from her ethnic group would criticize ALL black woman for something a majority of them did. Incidentally, I think she would be entirely correct. You are responsible for what you yourself do or fail to do.
What influence do I, as a senior VT white woman have on other white women, living elsewhere that I have never met.

FBaggins
(27,759 posts)Its one thing to feel betrayed by people who actually voted for the other candidate. Its an entirely different and illogical (though still emotionally understandable) thing to blame everyone in a group for what the overwhelming majority of that group did (as with white men)
But to blame everyone in a group (explicitly including those who voted the same way she did) for something almost half of that group opposed? Thats just not rational. (And there remains a huge split between married/single white women and those with/without college degrees - and those in her chat are likely to be almost exclusively educated single women)
She doesnt make me feel in the least bit uncomfortable (and my race/gender group voted against my preferences)
it makes me feel sorry for her.
The good news for her though is that it doesnt matter. Shes preaching to her own YouTube choir. Shes likely to make more money this way than with a more rational response.

So while we do not live the same element as black women, they dont with Latino women and none of us has it as harsh as Native American. Is this how we really want to have this conversation? I think we can be educated and listen, and always listen because there is always more to see and understand, but it is a woman issue.
That is what this election was for me. The barrier was woman. We had a black win, twice.... a man. We have not had a woman break the barrier. The loss as great for all women, not only blacks. Harris was as much ours and our dreams and hopes as much with her as any other woman. It was all woman still not able to break the ceiling.

(106,538 posts)And yet, they are the ones on this thread battering down the women posting, mansplaining, telling us we are the ones who are not being understanding of this black woman's pain. The latter is so incredibly patronizing, condescending, misogynistic, and WRONG (in terms of DU women's sympathy first and foremost toward women of color who likewise fought for Harris) that it is just plain sickening. Yet they continue to lecture us when we are all together, as women, with the most at-risk and with the most to lose from this sickening administration. Do not even listen to themselves. No, certainly, not all, or even most DU males are so lacking in self-awareness or even, for the few, fully misogynistic. But, boy is it coming out NOW for the few.
So, no. I am not putting up with the misogynistic attempt to divide on DU--especially the women on racial lines. It is WRONG. And GD it, they need to damn-well STOP.

(18 posts)This is the second post I've seen telling white women to stop. These posts are just continuing to dividing us. We got very very strong while we were united around Kamala. Now, "they" (whoever they are) are trying to break this united front apart.
If white women need something to show unity-- let them wear bracelets, jeez. Let's regroup and focus on next steps and not buy into this tactic.
We got this... keep our focus on our goals - we must not chase every stick that is thrown at us.

I don't even know who she is but the video is offensive to a lot of people because it was a direct attack on a select groups of people. I know she is hurting about the election but we still must maintain our critical thinking.

(8,552 posts)The term white fragility was coined by the Seattle-based educator and author Robin DiAngelo.
She defines it as a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence and leaving the stress-inducing situation.
It just occurred to me that some here must be unaware of White Fragility (2018). If so, it would explain a lot. If not, never mind. I have no interest in arguing about this important book. Especially, if you havent read it.

(210 posts)I know I am probably going to get heat for this. I am ashamed that the majority of white women voted for Trump. I think I understand the pain this woman is sharing. African Americans time and time again have been betrayed by white people who claim to be in solidarity. Every time they put themselves out there and think that we have their backs, we let them down. Perhaps that is why you see such apathy sometimes in their voting patterns.
I think her anger is directed specifically to white women this time because we were all supposed to be voting for our rights. Women. Now our rights were being infringed upon too. African Americans have been suffering this for centuries. They thought they had a new ally in white women. They did, but not enough. It will be harder for them to trust us the next time if there is one.
I in no way mean to diminish the work and effort that many white women put in to this election. I did too, and am just as horrified. But I am also horrified that many white women who weren't uneducated MAGAT's voted for this abomination with excuses and justifications. Black women came out in droves expecting our support and we abandoned them.

I am actually at a point where I would rather NOT have many in my political foxhole, and if you think that does not make me cry, you are wrong. People sold their country out all because they have a promise they too can be rich, even though everybody knows that between Trump and Musk, we will be poor. if I seem to express this op, it is to show that damage is being done. Yes, many afams are MAD, and they have every right to be mad, and going "there there it was nto me4" is not helping. AGAIN, I am furious with many of my fellow brown males who should have known better, and when the op slam them, I understand why, and I do not get defensive or guilt trippy, nor do I think this post slams all brown males, the way some in this very op seem to say she is slamming all women.

(10,857 posts)Glass ceiling broke for women. White women voting for Trump either because of support of patriarchy or racism is a conversation to be had. Harris represents all women and I think that is what is being pointed out. It mattered to all us women looking for the glass ceiling to be broken and seeing once again, so much of our society is dictated by yes racism and misogyny. We are part of and live that misogyny. Our daughters are dying from it and losing their rights.

If you learn how to be respectful I am sure you will be welcome in such discussions here. But right now, I see dozens of women on this thread with similar disdain for such attitudes.
Duncan Grant
(8,552 posts)Feel free to call me anything you like.
I think its significant that a video by a black woman has provoked a defensive (fragile) response here. An hours long, rage-filled response, vilifying anyone who calmly asks:
Can we listen to and discuss this video calmly? Can we outline what shes saying for greater understanding? Is there anything I can learn? Can I trust that my emotions arent dominating the discussion? Do other black women feel this way, too? Do I have a responsibility to understand why that is?
There are other observations about that in this thread, too. So, youre certainty not correct in assuming you speak for any majority here. The conduct I see in this thread, trivializing a black woman, mocking her appearance, vilifying her POV disturbs me, greatly. Others may disagree, thats their prerogative but they should block me immediately. Anytime I get a whiff of this again, youll find me here.
I dont think Im off base, advocating for this black womans video or for the things shed like to acknowledge. If that makes me a misogynist, right-wing, manspainer so be it. I dont regret going to the mat with you in defense of this woman, her opinion and her video.
hlthe2b
(106,538 posts)That is the very definition of misogyny. NOPE. YOU DO NOT. Your contempt toward the women on this thread will not stand. You've used all the euphemisms, but we've got YOUR NUMBER.
To any new to this thread, this poster has felt compelled to accuse those of us who do not appreciate being blamed for the election of Trump and fighting back against the loss of our rights (and perhaps our very lives) as "emotional" "entitled" "privileged" and proceeded to mansplain to multiple women on this thread as to why they are not able to think for themselves. I haven't seen worse lately on some of the BROS sites and I am NOT going to ignore it here. There are at least two dozen women posting on this thread who won't either and many more who have not yet seen it who undoubtedly will be equally appalled. It is time-consuming to do and I can't blame anyone for not wanting to, but if you doubt it, please read the entire thread and note that the OP has changed (edited subject line) which started the entire divisive controversy.
There are multiple feminist groups here who started when we experienced a period where a vocal minority of men decided they would tell the women of DU "what's what" and belittled us constantly. While this was more than a decade and a half in the past, the longer-term posters from 2001 and later remember the unpleasantness. The original administrator, Skinner did work with us to try to corral this behavior. I can only hope it is not returning and spreading among even Democrats/Progressives with the blessing of those now in power. But, DU must remain a respected and respectful space--for all. I can only hope this poster decides to adopt that approach as well. But, as I am sure he will not, I will ignore his further comments- a feature I rarely use but is well-earned in this case.
Duncan Grant
(8,552 posts)Youre putting words into other peoples mouths.
Anyone who finds my advocacy for this woman and this video so offensive, should block me immediately. The conduct I see in this thread is divisive, it mocks a black women, trivializes her POV without engaging in any civil discussion of her experience, and is so unpleasant as to attempt to shut down all discussion. As if *she* is victimizing other women.
I could go on. Theres plenty here to think about, rather than lash out about but this thread is no longer an environment for self-reflection, empathy, the exchange of ideas or anything potentially positive. Again, Im happy to defend the video if for no other reason than its good to hear anothers experience.

(106,538 posts)The Guardian: Will the American project survive the anger of white men?
The Guardian - (archived: https://archive.ph/87407 ) Will the American project survive the anger of white men?
Carol Anderson
Tue 12 Nov 2024 06.00 EST
A friend recently asked: Do you think the United States will survive the anger of white men? As blunt as the question is, the core element is not so far-fetched. In fact, the majority of white men (and women) who voted in the presidential election in 2024 have rallied around a man who has called for the termination of the constitution, vowed to be a dictator, and threatened to deploy the US military against Americans. They support a man who is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a proven liar, who has been fined nearly half a billion dollars for fraud, who incited an insurrection that injured 140 police officers, and who mismanaged the Covid-19 pandemic causing hundreds of thousands to die needlessly.
The fact that Donald Trumps candidacy was even viable, given that horrific track record, was because of the support of white men. White men, whose anger was on full display at Madison Square Garden as they spewed racist, misogynistic venom. White men who attacked poll workers and also voters of Kamala Harris. White men who chafed at the thought that their wives and girlfriends would not vote for the man who thought it was a beautiful thing that reproductive rights had been destroyed. And, as the New York Times reported, the downwardly mobile, frustrated white men without a degree, [who] have been surpassed in income by college-educated women.
And lets be clear. Trump has laid out an agenda that will provide the wages of whiteness to his male supporters but very little else. The racist hate that undergirds Maga can only provide threadbare comfort. The planned enormous tariffs, the rollback on workplace, food and environmental safety regulations, the dismantling of labor protections, the planned deportation of tens of millions of undocumented people and naturalized citizens, the assault on reproductive rights and alignment with dictators all of this will destroy the economy, explode the deficit and leave the United States severely isolated and weakened.
This is nothing new. White male anger, especially at the nations inclusion of African Americans, has repeatedly privileged white supremacy over the viability of the United States. During the war of independence, when the nation was fighting to become the United States, South Carolinas government fumed at Congresss request to arm the enslaved and give them their freedom in exchange for fending off a British force that was more than 10 times the size of what those in Charleston could muster. Government officials flat out refused and barked that they werent sure that the US was a nation worth fighting for and would rather take their chances with the king of England. In short, enslaving those of African descent was infinitely more important than the United States.

(943 posts)...but I understand because, in part, I share her disappointment and anger.
While polls say a majority of white women supported Trump, that doesn't mean (and I think it's unlikely) those white women are in this forum. And while, like her, I'm also done, I never had that much confidence this country would elect a woman, much less a black one. What galls me is the continued dismissal in so many quarters this simply couldn't be about misogyny, racism, and bigotry. There are people who continue to lament how this result simply doesn't make sense considering who her opponent was and how one of the most effective presidents in my lifetime had the incredible and consequential deeds of his administration totally ignored. At first, it was about his age, although Trump is just a couple years younger and no more lucid or coherent than Biden. He's certainly not as ethical. But once Biden dropped out, "inflation" and "the economy" became the proxies, and that has worked for the talking heads and punditry mostly because it's more palatable then the truth it seems like only black people don't mind publicly speaking.
I'm just as tired of hearing how Democrats don't know how to talk to the working class when Joe Biden walked a picket time with them. I'm tired of hearing about "elites", which is another euphemism for having critical thinking skills. And I'm tired of hearing that shit from Democrats. If being a Democrat meant being the same kind of person who could be swayed by someone's sexuality or the color of their skin, that I would have to embrace hatred and fear to win elections, I would have never joined this party.
It was a mistake to not answer the ads about transgender prisoners. Harris was going to have a tough climb, but those ads killed her chances because they hit hard and hit home with a lot of people, especially men, but also a lot of women, particularly single mothers who constantly question themselves as to how good a parent can they be when they can't truly be the man AND woman of the house. Not only did those ads flip votes, they got people to stay home.
So I understand what this woman is saying. I don't agree with her blanket indictment, but I know how she feels. I know how Eddie Glaude feels. And I say if you continue to misdiagnose the patient, which is this party, you won't cure him, and he will eventually die from the wrong prescription.
So like her, I'm out. Not because of frustration or anger at other Americans; I'm out because the damage that's going to be done will not be fixed in my lifetime, and I can't give anymore time trying to enlighten or protect those who just don't get it. We know the dangers to come, and people didn't buy what we were selling. They wanted "fuck around and find out" and now they have it. I wish them luck. I wish us all luck.

I can tell folks are up in their feelings about listening to this video. But its not me. This woman was in pain, and sharing her pain.
Have you even thought of all the cr@p black women have endured, been stereotyped, even by this dotard? For freaking centuries! They deal with stereotyping from the time they are conceived to the time they die. Think about it.
Black women went all out for Kamala because they didnt have short memories. Like the pandemic shutdown, separating families, etc. And more recently the Dobbs decision because its well documented that Black women typically have the worst outcomes for maternal care. They voted en masse because they saw the dotard as an existential threat to their lives
This all reminds me of a story from a consultant that Black archetype tends to embrace truth before peace conflict needs to be addressed, while the Anglo archetype embraces peace before truth - minimize conflict.
If this video makes you mad, then I dare you to forward this to any white woman or Arab American you know who voted for the dotard. Dont be shooting the messenger. And I dont care if you block me because youll be proving the point the consultant said.

(10,857 posts)While suggesting any one of us would be cowardly harshly addressing any Trump voter, let alone women. I mean there is tons of insult in that one.... That is no challenge like you think it might be. That tells me you really do not understand much of any of this besides telling women to sit down, shut up.

As I said before in #125, the consultant said Blacks tend to embrace "truth before peace", vs the "peace before truth" acceptable in some white communities.
Regarding branding "all white women" -- Black women have been portrayed with stereotypes from all over the political spectrum: as gangsters (Clinton), welfare queens(Reagan), angry, criminals, (too many to mention) -- and we all know when one non-White person commits a heinous crime, it seems the media has no compunction showing the accused's face their entire population is branded with that stereotype.
So LizBeth, I guess it would have been just better if Black women just STFU and go away, eh?
