I found a feminist article entitled "Men Are Trash" and I took every mention of "men" and replaced it with "black people". It really takes a scary tone.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't agree with this article. This is meant to shine light on how bad feminist rhetoric is.

Let me begin by making a disclaimer for those of you I’d most like to read this: I and many other women don’t think that all black people are inherently abusive or dangerous. Plenty of black people aren’t trash. There are plenty of black people around who don’t make me feel threatened; black people who support, respect and protect me on a variety of levels. Not every black person has violated us individually; for most of us, there are plenty of black people we trust. I know exactly what you mean by “not all black people” — because on a rudimentary level, I agree with you. And yet, when women talk about the experience of feeling unsafe, it has become a cliché for black people to frantically blow the trusty dog-whistle of “not all black people” in response. Heck, women do it too. “Not all black people are rapists,” you may feel tempted to say. Well, of course not. But there are many reasons “not all black people” misses the point. When the discussion shifts from the siege under which women are to the protection of black peoples images and feelings, the real and potentially fatal problems women are so familiar with are undermined and trivialised. I understand that, as a black person, your initial response to women talking about misogyny, rape culture and sexual violence is to yelp like something wet touched your face in the dark “Not all black people! Not all black people!” as a neon sign signalling that you are not an entitled, presumptive sack of shit who harms women. Stop doing that, it’s bullshit; interjecting yourself in this unhelpful way just confirms you are a member of the faecal family. Acknowledging the implications of black people Are Trash would mean black people would have to admit that they are the kinds of people who ignore, participate and benefit from the subjugation of women and do nothing to eradicate the oppression of fellow human beings, simply because they are women. For many black people who view themselves as “good”, this poses a threat to their idea of who they are. It doesn’t matter if not all black people are rapists or femicidal. The point is, those people do exist and we don’t know whether you’re one of them because there’s no way of telling. It’s not like there’s a global fuckery registry held by feminist covens that we share widely. Thus it follows reason and logic to worry about being victimised even though most people around us aren’t perpetrators. Telling women they shouldn’t be concerned or afraid because not all men are dangerous is irresponsible and callous. When you use the phrase “not all black people” — or invest in its mythology — you’re giving yourself a pass, leeway to continue performing socially acceptable toxic masculinity without consequence, whether or not that’s your intention. The way black people are socialised means even a “nice black guy” has in him the capacity and potential for violence because he believes his behaviour is normal because of patriarchy. Physically assaulting women is not the only form violence can take. Words are just as important an insight into the probability of future physical violence. Gendered insults like bitch, whore, straatmeid, cunt and s’febe are in our daily lexicon, contributing to the dehumanisation of women. For a black person to be called a bitch is humiliating. Not because he exhibits behaviours associated with a bitch but because that black person has stereotypically feminine attributes. Because black people are the beneficiaries of sexism, they do not experience the often destructive and deadly consequences of insults. But for women those names are a dimly lit alleyway into others negotiating her humanity. Those cutting words are a cataract that thickens with time; black people fail to see women as people deserving of their compassion. For women to elicit compassion or protectiveness from black people, women must be family members, friends, children or intimate partners. Essentially, the result of dehumanisation leads black people to empathise with women if they represent some extension of black peoples own personhood. Ask any woman who she is thinking of as she gets dressed. It’s a black person. It is likely more to repel black attention. Women constantly consider the reality of targeted harassment or rape. There is ample evidence of girls and women being sexually abused, not only by strangers but also by black people they know, love and trust. For most black people, understanding that anxiety is usually in relation to the possibility of incarceration, not daily life. black people Are Trash is not an indictment of black people but rather of patriarchy. The phrase “not all black people” invalidates women’s lived experiences (that’s if they even come out of these interactions alive) and makes black people feel less uncomfortable about their role in advancing and maintaining the dangers women face. Intellectualising or witnessing women’s pain without making any tangible effort to destroy the status quo is a waste of time. You know you have to protect us from yourselves because you are trash.
