excellent \/ sad \/ real talk article, “who didn’t go to the women’s march matters more than who did,”<\/a> by jenna wortham (bolding my own):<\/p>\n

But it is the photo of Peoples that resonates the most for me. It felt indicative of the ways in which the day\u2019s events could be viewed as problematic: the notion that women\u2019s rights were suddenly the most important cause in our nation, or that there haven\u2019t been protests and activist movements worth attending until the election of Donald Trump. The photo of Peoples is certainly the image that was most shared among the black women I know and that surfaced in feeds from women who opted out of the march, who chose to spend time with their families or one another instead. Those who were criticized for not participating reminded their followers of the suffrage movement, when black women were increasingly marginalized in the fight for the right to vote, and highlighted the lack of policing at the women\u2019s march, a luxury never granted at Black Lives Matters demonstrations. And they reminded anyone who\u2019d forgotten that 53 percent of all white women who voted voted for Trump, while 94 percent of black women voters cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton. They reminded people that it is very likely that the white women in the photograph probably know \u2014 or are related to \u2014 someone who voted for Trump. That photo cuts to a truth of the election: While black women show up for white women to advance causes that benefit entire movements, the reciprocity is rarely shown.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
