White is something that is so powerful and yet so ignored in the discourse surrounding race. It stands for "normal" and there justifies the silencing or othering of POC. I write a womanist blog in which I continually take an intersectional approach to feminism. Please feel free to stop by. Thank you for this post.

I don't know the first thing about traffic, the way posts are ranked in search engines or through links or any of that (so I'd love to see more on this if you ever feel inclined to delve into the specifics), but really yeah, your analysis is both depressing and -- maybe even more depressing -- not really surprising; it just rings very true and I wish it didn't. Actually, it reminds me of a point Sudy made: <blockquote>Why is it that when a womyn of color has a complaint, she's a loudmouth meanie who loves the fleshy attacks at white necks, but when a string of white folks say Hey! it renders apologies and San Francisco diversity trainings? </blockquote> Yeah... Would it be okay with you if I link back to this post? Maybe quote you a little bit? This is a great post.

Why is it that her blog came up as the top listing under a WordPress search for feminism?
