White Tears / Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

such a good, interesting, and relevant read. takes you through the history of how white women benefitted and upheld white supremacy and how it still continues stronger than ever today. taught me more about colonization and whiteness. 

it rings so strongly of the recent videos of white women at the college encampments for Palestine crying and/or calling the cops claiming to be in danger.. ugh. c’mon y’all. literally prime example of white tears / damsel in distress. 

the chapters on recent events and pop culture moments (BBQ Becky for example) were the most interesting for me
