Topic > Is solidarity only for white women? - 1812

The phrase “solidarity is for white women” highlights the limited number of women of color who participate in academic debates related to women's issues. However, this is ironic since solidarity means agreement between individuals with common interests. The phrase specifies white women even though minorities are the people excluded from the debate agreements. Allan G. Johnson would confidently say that white women have privilege in mainstream media. “This means that I am also receiving something that is denied to other people, people who are like me in every way because of the social categories to which they belong.” The expression attempts to bridge the gap between whites and minorities in mainstream women's media. The article Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Racism without Race, states that whites are in a privileged position in the racial order. “However, because all actors who are assigned the dominant racial position, regardless of their multiple structural locations (men or women, gay or straight) benefit from what Mills calls the “racial contract”…).” This means that the first major characteristic of a person is race rather than sex. So people are judged based on their demographics in relation to feminism. The feature is reduced to details. “#Solidarityisforwhitewomen when pink hair, tattoos and piercings are “eccentric” or “alt” on a white woman but “ghetto” on a black one.” This tweet attempts to demonstrate the discriminative difference between two major demographic groups. Stereotypes are created by physical appearance, particularly race. The main reason these tweets are created is to provide minorities with a chance to express their opinion on white solidarity and exclusion from conversations. Every day, these tweets symbolize the struggle that ... middle of paper ... had already chained and felled some of the older trees and moved rocky outcroppings with explosions and a bulldozer. And then they didn't stop even if ordered by law” (Hogan 285-286). Andrea's pillars of white supremacy shaped the land of Angel and his relatives generically. Thankfully, the hydroelectric project was ultimately foiled. However, this was due to the continuous struggle and loss between the two governments (Native American and White) and its people. The pillars of white supremacy resisted the progress and growth of Native American culture and land. Angel overcame the struggle for identity by embracing his heritage and learning to commune with nature to find true inner peace, even as opposition from Western civilization disrupted the peace. He was still able to understand who he was and finally accept his physical and emotional imperfections.
