Sure, Race Trumps Sex By Michael Ferguson
Following the shooting over in America of the Black guy by white woman cop who mistook her gun for her taser, there has been deep thinking by the new race class. It has been concluded that while all women are oppressed, the feminist line, white women are still oppressors of Blacks, so race trumps sex in the politically correct great chain of being. It could be explained by set theoretical modelling, by why break out a cognitive sweat when we have this gem from Cosmo mag:
“Cosmopolitan Magazine published an article Wednesday attacking “whiteness” and white women, using Kim Potter — the white Minnesota police officer who killed Daunte Wright during a traffic stop — as an example of how white women utilize their “victimization within patriarchal structures” to “benefit from and perpetrate white supremacy.”
The piece is penned by author and activist Frederick Joseph and titled “The Fact That Kim Potter, the Police Officer Who Killed Daunte Wright, Is a White Woman Matters,” bearing the sub-headline, “Just because white women don’t have the utmost power in white supremacy doesn’t mean they have none.”
The essay begins by noting how “more than one thing can be true” in that “white women benefit from white supremacy, while also being oppressed by the patriarchy.”
Using Potter as an example, Joseph (pictured) stresses the importance of noting the Minnesota officer’s race and gender.
“Some believe that her gender doesn’t matter when discussing the event, while others, such as myself, feel as though it’s important to make the specific distinction that this act was committed by a white woman.”
Joseph then explains how white women — who “exist at the intersection of both whiteness and womanhood” — are also guilty of perpetuating white supremacy.
“Oftentimes, there is a false narrative that white supremacy is upheld and perpetrated solely by white men,” he writes. “This narrative is largely based on the fact that white men own and operate the structures of white supremacy, thanks to the patriarchy’s inherent sexism and misogyny. Not only is this narrative false, but it is also a danger in trying to combat the white supremacy itself.”
“The reality is that just because white women don’t have the utmost power in white supremacy, it doesn’t mean they have none,” he adds.
Claiming that every system in America is rooted in white supremacy, Joseph then accuses anyone “who can claim whiteness” of automatically benefitting from these systems.
“From education and finance to justice and media, every system in America is founded upon and rooted in white supremacy,” he writes. “Therefore, a person who can claim whiteness has more power within those systems than those who cannot.”
Joseph also deems white supremacy a more oppressive force than “the patriarchy” and that white women supporting white supremacy “isn’t new.”
“While some would argue that the patriarchy is as much of an oppressive force as white supremacy is, history repeatedly proves this to be untrue,” he writes.
“Even now, many white women aim to uphold these systems, as was the case in their support for Donald Trump not only in 2016 but also during 2020 when his exit poll numbers showed an increase in support by white women from the prior presidential election. This overt support of white supremacy isn’t new amongst white women, as we saw with the suffragists and with the Daughters of the Confederacy and many other groups created by white women with the sole intent of upholding white supremacist ideology and structures,” he adds.
Joseph then describes white supremacy as being upheld across the political spectrum.
“Contrary to what many believe, upholding white supremacy also exists in behaviors which are less overt in nature and not only by those considered ‘right-wing’ or ‘conservative,’” he writes.
Recalling Amy Cooper, a white woman arrested last spring for calling 911 during a dispute with a black man in New York’s Central Park, Joseph explains how she, as a white woman, possessed “greater power” than the black man during the encounter.
“This speaks to how ingrained the power dynamics of whiteness are within our society. Women with that power have learned behavior in weaponizing it along a spectrum of beliefs (Amy Cooper was a supporter and donor to the Democratic party). As the suffragists did, she understood that her whiteness gave her greater power within white supremacy than Chris Cooper had being a black man within the patriarchy,” he adds.
Because “the problem of white supremacy isn’t white men but rather whiteness” of which “women are absolutely a part,” Joseph reiterates the substantial power white women supposedly possess.
“Whiteness has always been and continues to be the dominant source of power in America’s systems, which is why white women within those systems have more power than everyone other than white men,” he writes.
Despite white women struggling against white men, according to Joseph they remain responsible for the “sinking” of everyone else due to the fact that they utilize their “victimization” to justify their white supremacy.
“White women have been conditioned to use their victimization within patriarchal structures as a tool to negate accountability for how they benefit from and perpetrate white supremacy. While they themselves may be drowning at times due to white men, they are also responsible for everyone else sinking as well,” he concludes. “Many things can be true at the same time.”
Joseph is not alone in painting the Daunte Wright shooting as a mere example of a widespread racial issue persisting throughout the US.
Earlier this week, former President Barack Obama described the incident as “yet another shooting of a black man . . . at the hands of police” which showed “just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country.”
Also earlier this week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) went further, tweeting that Wright’s shooting “wasn’t an accident” and that policing in the US “is inherently and intentionally racist.”
Even socially-conscious ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s tweeted that the “murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of black and brown communities.”
All whites are racist, but white males are hyper-racist, white women just terrible racists. For interest, here is what the victim was up to.

“Daunte Wright had multiple criminal charges on his record when he was pulled over and fatally shot by police.
Wright, the 20-year-old black man who was shot by in an apparent accidental discharge, had previously been charged with first-degree aggravated robbery, fleeing from police, and possession of a handgun without a permit. Wright also had a warrant for his arrest out at the time of his fatal shooting after failing to appear in court for the fleeing and weapons charges.
The aggravated robbery charge stemmed from a 2019 incident in which Wright and an acquaintance attended a party at an apartment and were told to leave around 2:30 a.m. by two women who rented the apartment, according to court documents. But the two men said they did not have a ride, prompting the women to allow them to stay the night.
The next morning, one of the women left the apartment to get $820 in cash to pay the other for her share of the rent before leaving for work. The other woman stayed behind while Wright and his acquaintance waited for their ride. Then, the woman alleged that Wright blocked the door and pulled out a handgun "with silver trim out from either his right waistband or his right coat pocket” and demanded that the woman hand over the $820 while pointing the gun at her.

“Wright, 20, had been charged with first-degree aggravated robbery in the December 2019 incident, and authorities had a related warrant for his arrest at the time of his death.
The case was still pending at the time of Wright’s death. His bail was revoked in July for possession of a firearm and not keeping contact with a probation officer.
In the fatal shooting, Police body camera video appears to show Wright trying to get back into his vehicle during the arrest. He drove away after being shot and crashed a short time later. The officer who shot Wright seems to say in the video that she intended to use her Taser gun.
During the robbery attempt, Wright and his friend allegedly were at a house party and stayed the night with the two alleged victims because they claimed not to have rides home.
When one victim left to go to work the next day, Wright pulled a handgun on the other victim and demanded she give him the money she had, according to Fox News.
“Give me the f—ing money, I know you have it,” Wright told the victim. “I’m not playing around.”
When she did not comply, Wright allegedly choked the victim and tried to take the $820 she had. The two were unable to take the money and left. They were later identified by the woman in a line-up and arrested and released on a $100,000 bail.
