Brutal Sexualization of Black Girls and Womyn: Zoom Gathering Sunday Feb 20th "What Will White Womyn Do To End Racism?"

The FBI recently [under]reported thousands THOUSANDS of arrests of school children as young as 5 to 9 years old. 5 to 9 years old.

41% of those [under]reported arrests where of Black children

In Florida alone, Black girls represented 55% of those arrested and 86% of those locked up. In one country, 14 white girls were arrested and 76 Black girls over the same time period.

57.5% of all juvenile prostitution arrests are Black girls; 40% of 'suspected' human trafficking victims in the u.s.ofa. are Black womyn; 85% of those buying sex over the internet are white men.

So what does this mean to us as anti-racist white feminists?

Left over from last time, what tools do we have for challenging white people, especially co-workers, who claim they have a Black friend who says racism doesn't exist, etc.
