I've been noticing many white women on Fedi really going hard on blaming Muslims for Harris losing, instead of looking at the majority of white women (53%) who voted for Trump and white men (59%). Which is a fairly small gap between the two, proving (again) that Whiteness regardless of gender is what caused this continuing mess that is called the USA pretty much since its founding.

I guess Islamophobia is easier than confronting your white peers.

Coalition-building is going to be difficult if us white people refuse to look in the mirror and refuse to confront people who look like us. What is evident to everyone else is we can't be trusted.

Edit: yes, this includes "good" white people. Actions speak, deflecting blame and punching down is a purposefully chosen action.

@ErickaSimone Can't blame you. We are what we do and what most of us white people do harms everyone else (especially black women).

@ErickaSimone @jf_718 I feel the same about my own white women. Disgusting.

I promise forever forward to continue BEING an ally, showing up, and fighting to elevate voices that need the support. 🙏🏽 And look fellow white women in the eye and stand the F up.
