youngblackandvegan:

white women started the woman’s suffragist movement to fight for white women’s rights, not women’s rights

the white feminist movement is shrouded in white women aiming to better their lives for themselves

that is why there’s a difference between feminism and white feminism

because although white feminists believe you cannot talk about race when you’re talking about feminism

actual feminists know

that discussions of racism, classism, and sexism are all connected

there is no feminism without intersectionality

Learning this history of the suffrage movement was disappointing, but important. We have to acknowledge our history and learn from it.
