Ruby Hamad
“There is no sisterhood. How can there be, when white supremacy has done such a thorough job of setting White Womanhood apart from the rest of us? There’s a division, all right, but it is not caused by us. Yes,”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Ruby Hamad
“A white woman may well be punished for an emotional outburst when interacting with men, but if she is engaged in a terse interaction with a woman of color and she becomes emotional, by which I mean either angry or distraught, with or without actual tears, the deeply embedded notions of gender and femininity are triggered and it is the white woman who is likely to be vindicated.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Ruby Hamad
“Yes, it is true women of color have been the targets of a setup of monumental proportions, something that amounts to nothing short of a covert war against us. But it is also true that these attacks are their own proof of just how serious a threat to the status quo all women of color really are. So serious, in fact, that the very concept of the innocent white woman was constructed to keep us firmly in our place.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Ruby Hamad
“This is how whiteness reasserts itself: through a white feminist movement that aligns itself with diversity and inclusion to get white women through the door but then slams it shut in brown and black women’s faces.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Ruby Hamad
“Women of color are rarely given the benefit of the doubt and even more rarely considered worthy of sympathy and support. If we are angry it is because we are bullies, if we are crying it is because we are indulging in the cult of victimhood, if we are poised it is because we lack emotion, if we are emotional it is because we are less rational human and more primitive animal.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color
