Leftist Female Prof Rips America For ‘Structures Built Around’ White Women ‘Geared For … Feeling Safe In Society’

Speaking in an interview, CUNY professor and author Jessie Daniels, whose latest book is titled, “Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Dismantle It,” ripped the “structures built around” white women “that are geared for our comfort, our reassurance, our, you know, feeling safe in society,” adding, “I really think that reimagining our society in a way that doesn’t center our comfort is really important.”

Daniels was interviewed by Allison Harbin, who recently noted, “Megan Thee Stallion’s song Thot Shit is the thought leadership we all need, and deserve, right now.”

Harbin stated, “In the book, you lay out, you really lay out clearly, in like the first five pages, I think, which is very admirable for somebody agonizing over their introduction … you’re really good at saying how the system is designed for white women and in particular, affirmative action … I really liked how you phrase it.”

She quoted from Daniels’ book: “Their pop culture narratives about affirmative action would have us believe that it is a system that offers unfair advantage to black, indigenous, or other people of color. Yet the reality is that it’s white women who benefit most. And it is advantage they pass on to their families.”

She quoted Daniels writing that her book was a “road map for undoing white womanhood and the destructiveness it causes.” She asked, “Can you unpack that a little bit?”

Daniels answered, “I think there’s so many ways that we who are raised to be white women in this culture have all these kind of structures built around us that are geared for our comfort, our reassurance, our, you know, feeling safe in society… Part of what’s happened from those early ‘Take Back The Night’ marches and even earlier feminism in the 70s and 80s, is that there’s been this kind of takeover by sort of a white perspective, if you will, and I think that that takeover has really centered the concerns and causes of white women. I really think that reimagining our society in a way that doesn’t center our comfort is really important.”

“I feel like that’s exactly the place where my book makes a contribution, is that we’ve got to learn to look at white women through a more complex, more nuanced, more intersectional lens,” she added. “That sure, there are ways that we as women, as people who are queer, I identify as a lesbian, are targeted. Like we experience misogyny, we experience homophobia, all that stuff, but we’re white, and so we’re part of the system that benefits.”

Daniels turned to the Rikers Island jail complex in New York: “I actually worked at Rikers for a while on a research project, so I always feel this connection to it because I’ve been in the buildings. I’ve been on the campus, as it were, for Rikers Island. And you know, I just thought, I mean, it’s a complicated situation, but I just thought, that is a whole system that is built for white women like me, living in Manhattan, to feel safer in the city. It just makes me sick to my stomach and I don’t understand why it’s not making other people sick top their stomach.”

Author and HuffPo contributor wants to “undo white womanhood and the destructiveness it causes.”

She thinks white women feeling “safe in society” is problematic.
