Red, Wine, and Blue is ALL about suburban women finger-wagging at their peers.
We're trying! But you're right, white women in positions of influence and power need to call white women out.
You were very right to call that out and push back when there was no good answer.
We're sorry, we're trying!

In fact I'll go further... I think people who do the finger wagging in this case are jerks.
Every group has people who are nice, who are assholes, racists, misogynists and like split pea soup.
I'm a white guy... no one needs to finger wag at me.
I do the right thing... I share opinions when asked.

(20,392 posts)but these are not normal circumstances. I think the "white woman" thing is being raised because there has been so much coverage of black men not supporting Harris enough. But in reality the number of black men hesitating to support Harris is dwarfed by the numbers of white women doing so. So black men feel like they are being targeted for blame while white women skate by with no criticism. It's impossible to have this kind of nuanced conversation without mentioning race, unfortunately.
