Why do some white females assume that they are now in the same position as everyone else?

Question

I phrased the question a little bit wrong, but I'll describe further. The bringing of Black History Month is continually argued by some white people to be evidence for this growing epidemic of "White Racism" and "Double Standards" in society. I was somewhat surprised to see that white females proclaim that it is a double standard to include a Black History Month but to exclude the possibility of a "White History Month". But none of these females state in their already flawed arguments about "International Women's Day", or "Feminism", and I'm sure that if the debate was about either of two topics, they would produce something lengthy, tantamount to that of a War & Peace novel.

I've also been surprised at how many white females proclaim that Obama is only in consideration of being president because he is black, yet they forget that the Hilary Clinton basically revolved around the fact that she would be the first female president. Obama was about his message of "Change". Hilary was about "combating sexism". Lastly, some white females argue about the existence of entities such as BET, and the Miss Black Awards, but seldom have I heard of white females talking about how wrong it is to have a "Girl's Only club".

To sum up, why do white females believe that they are in the same position as white males, where they believe they have the same rights etc, but white females have problems of their own too? Shouldn't we just come to a conclusion that Blacks, Middle Easterners, in some cases Far Eastern Asians, Females, g**s, and every other entity is discriminated against more than the "Ideal" (I assume you know whom they are) rather than bicker that someone has 'rights' that others are not entitled to?

Answer 1

I get what you are trying to say, and will say good luck to you my friend. Stuff is about to go down. I have to say thought to be fair, please do not generalize.  

Answer 2

Well, as an African-American Caucasian Asian from Mexico, I would have to say that all non-white caucasian transgendered mexican women are increasingly afraid of the chinese-germans that are proliferating faster that a two-headed spider monkey on crack.

Answer 3

i understand what you are saying and i think it is fairly clear. though i think you should edit that "why do white females..." and change it to "why do many white females or some white females, etc."

but in all i understand your point.

Answer 4

I understand you completely.  That's why I say that black women need to start their own movement, because black male led organizations and white female led organizations don't adequately serve our needs.  Neither seems to understand that being female and black is a huge part of our makeup, and we as black females want to tackle both issues.

Answer 5

As a white Non-American male, can I just say: you guys (I am including men and women here) put that Hilary v Obama thing behind you. Male, female, black, white, pink or blue, just make sure you choose a president who is not an idiot this time.

The rest of the world is counting on you America - be brave and cherish your hard won freedom.

Answer 6

And this is why I love you.

Answer 7

To try to attempt the question, I think that there is a double standard, but I'm not going to draw that out.  I think as a white female that I have a right to say that as much as a white male, and that the difference between the double standard of whites vs. blacks or any minority in this case is not the same as the one between males vs. females.

I as a woman (even try to disregard the race card here) am not offended by a boys only club.  I think that each s*x has their own thing to offer and we each have advantages and disadvantages.  Maybe there are more advantages for men (equal wage for equal work/experience may be one to argue with) but I don't think that it would be blasphemy to have men decide to do something men's only.  They've been doing it for centuries anyway!  Sports anyone?  Only recently have women gained their own leagues for many sports.  Does that mean that men should not play sports anymore by themselves just because they are more advantaged?  I think not.  Hope that answered your question.
