    So anyone with access to The Root can vote on these, right? How about next year, you just have those who aren’t grey’d out Root members vote, only?

      That’d certainly make it more interesting. I do wonder how much tampering and outside influence there was on these results, given the sudden swings that seemed to happen over the course of voting.

    Eh, I still feel like even the most useless white feminist might accidentally do something that benefits intersectional feminists whereas Mitch at co. are intentional in all the ways they fuck us.

      Agreed. They are occasional allies, Mitch is a full time enemy of PoC.

      It’s still not the best of logic though.

      Nazis have tried to use the same logic to breaking point to claim Hitler was great because without him colonial rule of Africa and Asia wouldn’t have ended.

    And no doubt the reaction to this article from that demographic will be articulate and dignified and won’t turn into an embarrassing mess like every other Root article that mentions them...

      It’s not really “obsession” when they’re reporting on White women who keep doing racist shit, like reporting Black people for standing still on a sidewalk or having a BBQ.

      Just like with the men maybe if they stopped doing the racist shit they wouldn’t be writing about them as a demographic.

    All you people complaining about voter fraud need to enjoy the clear winner. White Feminists are the worst wypipo (I mean other than the unbeatable White Allies).

    Mitch McConnell isn’t even wypipo, he’s just a racist turtle.

      lol nope. At first I was disappointed because Mitch McConnell is the worst without a doubt. But this had me in stitches:

      “We just went into the locker room and had a good cry,” said the tournament MVP Ivanka Trump. “Then we stole some of the strategy used by black women and used it for our purposes.” 

      So good.

    When did voting end? Was it after Monday? Because then I would think that Madonna helped clinch the win with her last push effort at the MVA’s.

    My people have claimed the title two years running, good shit.

    And conservative interference or not, these are correct results.

    Who is more dangerous - the enemy you see coming or the enemy already by your side? Who does more damage - the person who hates you outright or the person who genuinely believes they have your best interests at heart as they sabotage you?

    Until white liberals reckon with the damage we’ve done and continue to be capable of, we should sit in a corner and reflect on how we've misused our power to support our own craven comfort.

      The enemy whom you ignore is always the most dangerous.

      The question you ignore with your analysis is the one concerning whom the “you” happens to be.
