Let that sink in for a moment.
My typical 'Jonathan Edwards' comment is that I find this re-assuring: black/white, men/women, gay/straight, we are all 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God'.
But there is a bit more to the issue than that. The issues are power and status of a group, and is hardly unique to these white women.
Before feeling morally superior, just think of asking house slave (all the way back to Marcus Tullius Tiro), remember the last paragraph of Nineteen Eighty-Four, or read Darkness at Noon. Or consider a bit of John Donne.
