Black women BEEN saying this, though.
Bishop Talbert Swan apparently had time on Saturday. And has continued to have time in the days since.
Following the Kavanaugh hearings, some white feminists began to call for prolong protests against rape culture and those that facilitate it. A few even called for #TakingAKnee:
In a series of threaded tweets, the COGIC (Nova Scotia Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction) bishop ranted about these women "hijacking a movement [they] took no risks for." Furthermore, he criticized them for erasing black women in their movement.
White women kneeling during the anthem to protest rape culture is highjacking a movement you took no risks for. You didn't kneel in solidarity to protest the murder of Black people, don't co opt & make it about your victimization. That's white supremacy in the name of feminism.
This isn't the first time Swan has been highly outspoken on Twitter. As the Atlanta Black Star reports, Swan was banned from Twitter last year after someone asked him whether he was following Candace Owens and he replied with a tweet saying he was a on no coon diet
No one knows the frustration Swan, a man, touched upon in his most recent tweet storm more intimately than black women, who often must tussle between placing gender or race as a priority in an unrealistic war of identity.
Given the this, Swan has come under fire for his comments, particularly for a Tuesday tweet supporting an op-ed from D. Marlon A Smith. In his piece, Smith lectured black women about why they ought not join what he called, a white feminist agenda;
Both men were accused of not listening to black women on social media, and were accused of hypocrisy, as many black women (including, but not limited to, notable women), have expressed concern over modern feminism for a while now. Solidarity is for white women; anyone?
