13213905, White women created feminism.

This kind of behavior is very congruent
with its origins, considering that some
of the first ones insisted that the
enfranchisement of women would strengthen
white supremacy.
The question is whether or not any other
group of women can really be feminists,
since feminism at it's core is the feminine
branch of white patriarchial/supremacist ideals.
Hence the "black men are trash" crowd is
simply proving they're just as committed
to the cause as white women... especially
when we remember that early white feminists
were white women fighting for the right to vote
over the "inferior" and "rapist" black male as
they said things like "if it needs lynching to
protect woman’s dearest possession from the
ravening human beasts—-then I say lynch, a
thousand times a week if necessary.” ("ravening
human beasts" refers to Black men)

In light of these facts, what do you *really*
mean when you say you don't know if white women
can be or are feminists? I'm guessing you're
talking about the alleged principles of feminism
that exclude all exercised white supremacist tenets?
