Yes, yes, I know. Technically I’m on holiday, so if anyone asks, you didn’t see me making this post, ok? But trust me, you’ll like this one.
Last week I participated in a really exhilarating discussion on feminism, anti-fascism, race and gender with the brilliant Rafia Zakaria, author of ‘Against White Feminism’- hosted by the European Network on Religion and Belief. Any EU- adjacent event has a tendency to sound a lot duller than it actually is, and I’ve long suspected that’s not entirely an accident. Either way, this was extremely worthwhile. Here’s the full video:
If you’ve got any thoughts, comments or questions you’d have liked to ask the panel, go ahead and post them below!
I'm interested in the link between the advent of racism and colonialism
I.e. racism was encouraged by women of various colors to preserve their right to their men when faced with Colonization and the realization that men were engaging in relationships with non white women and happy in them
This also ties in with the resurgence of white supremacist ideas, as men are now able to contact billions of women globally through the internet
Basically, women encourage racism and try to highlight genetic superiority and mother roles in the interest of preserving their priority right to the money, care and Regard of white men (or other materially powerful and ethnically exclusionary group).
For blue eyes, pale skin and blonde hair can only be preserved through racism, inbreeding or closed communities.
