Writing for Ravishly and the Huffington Post, feminist Ijeoma Oluo has a message for white people in her movement: stop using the race card.
In an aptly named opinion piece, "White Feminists: Please Stop Using the Race Card," Oluo called out other feminist members.
"I never thought I'd have to say this," Oluo begins her article, "but white people: stop using the race card. I'm serious. I'm getting sick and tired of the movement I've dedicated my life to being used as your weapon. I'm onto you -- I see what you're doing."
Olou says that feminists are using race as a weapon. "I've seen white feminists try multiple times to damage other white feminists that they have personal issues with by implying that they are racist without any proof," she notes.
Then, without irony, she calls two white actresses, Tina Fey to Patricia Arquette, racist. Oluo writes, "we see even the most famous feminists disenfranchise women of color with harmful statements and actions."
..."Women of color are smart. We know when we are being used," she writes. "As people of color gain more power and visibility on social media, it's unavoidable that some white people will try to exploit that for their gain." However, "We are not mercenaries for whiteness."

I will make a.response on behalf of white female feminist’s everywhere.
Shut up you n....
This isn’t news. White feminists have been doing this since slavery. During suffrage meetings black women would have to sit in the back so this is no shock.
If anyone can now just imagine themselves to be black, like Rachel Dolezal, isn’t the race card nullified?
Victims eating victims.
Ijoema, do they have a book with all these names?
Are blacks starting to get tired of guilt ridden white liberals
piggybacking on their cause? lol
Lets arm both sides with baseball bats and let them fight it out.
I learned to speak and read Thai, but still can’t figure out how to pronounce Ouiji boards name.
You win the thread.
Naggers?
The Democrat party has a number of factions. Among the biggest are secular white liberals and blacks. At a deep level, these two groups despise each other. If you look at things like religious affiliation and practice, leisure activities, and diet, these two groups are totally different.
But the white secular liberals know they can’t get to the magic 50 percent without the black vote, so they give the blacks everything they want. Thus, the liberals have to do the whole racism self-flagellation business and endlessly proclaiming that blacks are victims. At some psychological level, blacks resent being treated like children, which is why blacks are regularly lashing out at liberal whites.
This alliance is being held together with some pretty weak threads, which is why the white liberals are always trying to blow up any example of conservative racism, no matter how tenuous.
Funny, she doesn’t look very black...
I work with white female libs (around 60 years old) who won’t hire blacks, or even speak to them. I’m no liberal when it comes to race, but one would think these women were born in 1840.
One ladle of alphabet soup - arrange the letters randomly.
Good for you. We visited Thailand and Cambodia in Feb. Bangkok sure changed from 1969.
From your tagline, I deduce you are happy. How nice!
Wow. That is so shocking these days.
Yes. Very happy except no babies yet.
