Jane Elliott’s Angry Eye video has been circulating Tumblr and white Feminists are coming out of the woodwork in droves to make up an excuse for one white woman’s racist tears but not to apologize for the tears of the WoC who were also part of the exercise.

Besides the awfulness detailed above:

The idea that being called out on your racism is somehow the same thing as emotional and verbal abuse is SUPER INSULTING to me as a survivor, too.

I am so confused, why do people think she was crying ‘because she was racist’? I mean maybe she was but I just don’t know, I think many people would cry in that situation. Also why does everyone seem to think that the exercise was intended to punish white people? Blue eyed people were the focus but there were plenty of white, brown eyed people sitting at the sides. Maybe ‘teach them a lesson’ would be more accurate? I feel like there must be two different videos…?
