They support white male supremacy because they can marry into it's power.
Married white women have the secondary status assigned to them by their husbands. And the unmarried ones are too foolish to realize they don't have the same level of status as white men or married white women -- which is likely why a percentage of single white women like to call the police on black folks for stupid stuff -- so they can prove to themselves their whiteness is worth just as much as the next white person.
At the very least, calling white cops on black people proves that they, as single white women, have higher status than black people. And this is very valuable to some white people. It must be. They've been seeking confirmation of white skin status for centuries.
For example: Poor white people fought for slave owning whites for the very same reason -- to prove white skin status-- despite the fact that they were kinda fighting to slit their own throats.
I mean, but for fighting to hold on to some kind of superiority, how hard is it to figure out that fighting for somebody else's right to have free labor is not good for you as a laborer or a farmer in competition?
BLACK MEN
This explains why so many black men (and the pick-me-s that follow them over any cliff) had a hard time seeing Killmonger as a villain in BLACK PANTHER. Killmonger wasn't wrong on the facts. But he was dead wrong on the solution, which was rise up and take the white man's place as top oppressor.
A large percentage of non-feminist variety black men as well as the ashy-s and the hoteps, all of them want to replace the white man as top dog.
And, lately, what that has meant is that they want the right to rape and pillage their own women....same as white men do;
This is exactly what many black men mean to communicate to black women every single time we say #MuteRKelly and they respond by throwing some white man out in front of Kelly by saying something like, "What about Harvey Weinstein?"
And you know Kelly is being defended when they throw Weinstein's name out precisely because it's so lazy a choice. With all the white men who have skated on sex crimes, the black women and black men talking about "What about Weinstein?" have conveniently forgotten that this man has already lost his business and is being ground up (hopefully) by the justice system as we speak.
Other than losing his record deal with SONY-RCA, R. Kelly is just walking around embarrassed -- instead of having a real chance at real prison time.
THE BLACK WOMEN
WHO DEFEND BLACK MEN AT ANY COST
Actually, I'd make a correction to Angela's quote if I could. I'd say the weakest links in overcoming oppression in this country are white women, black men, and also black women who defend black men at any cost.
Maybe Angela Davis would change this quote if she could too, especially now that she's seen the reaction to the SURVIVING R KELLY documentary. Black response to that television series has shown just how little black girls are seen --through the prisms of black patriarchy* and internalized-racism-- as over-sexed and lacking innocence by our own people, including black women.
so true
