text: As a White woman who mostly works on issues that affect my community (who are mostly White women) I do wish I knew how to be more welcoming to Black women and women of other ethnic backgrounds. It seems like there's an unsurmountable barrier between us, one where I present ideas that I feel may solve many problems for a lot of women regardless of race or class, and I get rebuked by "you're just talking about this because you're privileged". I don't want to play the rich White saviours here, but I also want to help as many women as I can reach independence. It's just such a conundrum...
