There were a lot of racist suffragettes.
see, i don't understand this.
maybe it's because i'm from the 21st century ~~or just that i don't know much on the matter~~, but i'm literally clueless on how the fuck could the suffragettes - despite being feminists - not sympathize with black women or be inspired to be anti-slavery after seeing the shit black women go through (granted idk how the lives of black women were when they weren't doing slave labor like their brothers, but still).
like, it's just not registering with me. someone please explain this to me.
Basically it was playing on white supremacist ideas like "You gave black men the right to vote before white women??".
¿¿¿???
this... isn't a competition re: who could get rights first...???
if anything, the white women in question should've been able to show solidarity with the black women because both of them are in a similar situation (neither could vote)
but white supremacist sounds about right
gross... did not expect this
