The conflict with white women and the subject of racism as a feminist is that they are subject to these beliefs that they deserve a medal for treating others with respect, their entitlement and privilege puts them in a position where they believe that “schooling” others is an instant pursuit rather than listening to POC on issues they face. The institution of white privilege is something that most white people don’t want to accept they have and it’s hard to speak up when you’re constantly being told “culture is meant to be shared” and “slavery is over, get over it.” It’s easy for you to say but it is not easy for POC to do. It is unnecessary that children of color are being taught eurocentric views in their curriculum, it is unnecessary that someone has to see their culture on display as a costume, and it is unnecessary that women of color are still being discriminated against and oppressed. Yes, we do have an issue as women and yes, white women are also put down by men. But it is and never will be because of their skin color, in fact, that’s their benefit. Their skin color is the exact thing they benefit from. Caring only about the issues that your privilege provides you with and ignoring the social issues that WOC face is another standard reason as to why White Feminism is harmful. Unless that suffices to change, there will always be a divide
