The Women Behind White Power. Few Americans know the name Cornelia Dabney Tucker, but the Jim Crow South would not have been the same without her.
After the Supreme Court issued its 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ending public-school segregation, Senator James Eastland, the cigar-smoking chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee, turned to Mrs. Tucker to help aid him in his two-pronged assault on the decision. La couleur du désir. The Identity Politics of Whiteness. A common refrain in the days after the election was “Not all his voters are racist.”
When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression. I’ve never been punched in the face.
Not in an actual fight, at least. I’m not much of a fighter, I suppose... more of an “arguer.” I don’t think I’m “scared” to get into a fight, necessarily — there have been many times I have put myself in situations where a physical fight could easily have happened. Noam Chomsky on the Roots of American Racism. The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless.

Profondément émue car j'ai compris ce que sous-tendait, d'un coup, votre manifeste lancé par une femme dont l'humanisme n'est d'ailleurs plus à démontrer. Au fond vous souhaitez nous protéger nous les femmes honnêtes, du viol comme vous le dites à demi-mot ("Que se passera-t-il quand il n'aura plus cette soupape de sécurité ? Femmes blanches et privilège blanc : leur dire NON. Aujourd’hui, je suis extrêmement heureuse de vous présenter une traduction d’un texte du fameux blog Gradient Lair, un blog personnel tenu par Trudy, une femme afro-américaine avec une vision womanist et intersectionnelle sur les oppressions.
Je vous avoue que Trudy – dont vous pouvez retrouvez la bio riche ici – était un peu incertaine à me laisser traduire son texte. Des explications très intéressantes et importantes sont présentes dans sa politique de contenu, pour expliquer ses appréhensions. Si vous lisez l’anglais, je vous conseille d’aller consulter, et de manière générale, de suivre le blog entier. Le post que j’ai choisi de traduire est un texte "coup de poing", qui est un mélange bien plus pertinent de mon premier texte sur le privilège blanc et d’aspects sur les questions de relations entre races, que j’essayais d’aborder plus en détails ici. Je laisse donc maintenant Trudy aborder avec vous le privilège blanc, particulièrement quand il se manifeste chez les femmes blanches.
