White Women don’t care about Women of Colour.

The exit polls show it once again; white women will vote for a Presidential candidate that doesn’t respect them.

We have already been through this. In 2016, everyone talked about the matter. 53% of white women had chosen a man that openly talked about them like they were prey to be chased over one of their own. Sarah Ruiz-Grossman had proclaimed that she was done with white women, feminists got mad, everyone blamed white women. The now infamous “Karen” insult meme got out shortly after. White women were lynched on the public place, making them the target of everything that is wrong with America and Western Society.

We all thought 4 years would maybe open their eyes. Maybe once fallen from their thrones, they would realize that their vote can have a drastic impact on their lives. My fellow American sisters went through everything. From #metoo to their right to abortion, from worrying about contraception to perpetual attacks against them, those last 4 years haven’t been easy. The nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was the final nail in the coffin of years of fighting for equal rights : the right to decide for our body, the right to choose who we want to marry, the right of being a woman.
