Dear Becky,

You are annoying.

I wish you would go away.

You seem to find a way into every Instagram post that recognizes the beauty of a non white women.

You claim that all women are beautiful, but when you see black women being put down and insulted because of their hair or the color of their skin? Nothing.

You don't know the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation.

You expect me to educate you.

You have a degree in White Feminism and a PHD in White Intersectional Feminism- but you don't know the meaning of intersectional. Don't forget that if "you want equaliy for men and women you're a feminist", you force labels on people who don't want them

You're oppressed because you're a woman.
But racism is dead because there's been one black president. Everybody is equal except you of course, because you're a white woman with no privilege whatsoever.

You're racist in subtle ways and you're completey blind to it- but you have one non white friend so of course you couldn't possibly be racist.

You don't see color, so you don't see racism.

Get it together Becky.

Sincerely,
A Frustrated Black Girl
