Why does #WhiteDudesForHarris just really rub me the wrong way.
Can things not be about us for a sec?
Win With Black Women is an activist network with a history of effecting change, centered around a marginalized group of people.
A “White Dudes” group definitionally excludes the marginalized/oppressed, and was created as an ad hoc response to feeling left out.
I get that you’re excited and you want to telegraph your allyship, but this is just a really icky way to do it.
