WELP! This quote is from his essay Im Sked ta Def a White Womenz and it is brilliant. A great rebuttal to the White supremacist, racist, and ahistorical essays that some White feminists have proffered (in the aftermath of the Zimmerman verdict, you know, since Trayvon’s murder is “really" about White women’s needs and fears) to explain how their racism is justified since Black men are men and White women (and obviously no other women, right?) face sexism and misogyny (ahem…primarily from White men). Yet magically this fear doesn’t apply to White men who harm White people at numbers no one on the globe can match. By numbers I mean actual statistics, facts and history—stuff that appears to be of no consequence when rape, domestic violence or street harassment are discussed by many White women, you know, things that are primarily intraracial? Spare me White feminists. The collection agency needs to come get you. Oh and, I am the wrong person to play games with in regards to crime statistics and intersectional crime analysis. I did some fancy book learnin’ on that…
