Ruby Hamad Quote: “Arab women came to be seen as they are largely seen today: sexually repressed, frigid, virginal, burdened by virtue, shame, and family honor, and more or less silenced – ironically, pretty much the things that supposedly made white women so special for so long.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “The younger cousin of the Angry Black Woman, the Angry Brown Woman is not critical: she is vitriolic. She does not disagree: she attacks. She is not confident: she is aggressive. She is not assertive: she is scary. She is, by sheer virtue of her inherent nature, permanently, well, angry – not because of anything that has been done to her, mind you, but simply because that is what she is.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “White women’s tears are fundamental to the success of whiteness. Their distress is a weapon that prevents people of color from being able to assert themselves or to effectively challenge white racism and alter the fundamental inequalities built into the system.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “And so “white damsel” as an archetype was one of racial purity, Christian morality, sexual innocence, demureness, and financial dependence on men all rolled into one. A privilege, yes, but a perilous one, for to step off this pedestal meant no longer being regarded as a “woman.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “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 Quote: “The quintessential China Doll is submissive, eager to please, obedient, and permanently pleasant, and lives for no reason other than to make her white lover happy. Nowhere has she been embodied quite so roundly as in the most-performed opera in the United States today, Puccini’s classic Madama Butterfly, based on a one-act play that was in turn based on an 1887 smash-hit semiautobiographical French.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “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 Quote: “When freshman Democrat congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib endorsed Bernie Sanders, they were chastised in both traditional and social media for throwing their support behind “an old white guy” rather than a woman. How is it that so many white feminists still cannot grasp the many factors that shape the politics of women from such diverse backgrounds?”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “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 Quote: “Those tears may well be genuine, but that does not make them innocent and harmless: the opposite in fact.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “If you are an Aboriginal person in Australia, he writes, “you perform and display the paint and feathers, the pretty bits of your culture, and talk about your unique connection to the land while people look through glass boxes at you, but you are not supposed to look back, or describe what you see.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “When broader society refuses to validate women of color, it becomes vital for us to share our experiences with each other as a means of coping with these damaging stereotypes and archetypes, and to help us recognize the gaslighting techniques and stereotypes that keep us in a subordinate position.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “This weaponization of White Womanhood continues to be the centerpiece of an arsenal used to maintain the status quo and punish anyone who dares challenge it.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “Many Arabs have fair skin, and my own is more olive than brown. This racial ambiguity affords me some degree of acceptance – until my ethnic background is inevitably brought to the foreground. Whiteness, then, is more than skin color. It is, as race scholar Paul Kivel describes, “a constantly shifting boundary separating those who are entitled to have certain privileges from.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “Classwashing is an attempt to absolve and deny the existence of racism at all strata of society by turning the tables to admonish people of color that it is unfair to talk about racism at the polling booth because the white working class is disenfranchised. Or they are uneducated. Or they just don’t know any better. We need to hear them out and then we will see their racism will dissolve as soon as their economic.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “White women can oscillate between their gender and their race, between being the oppressed and the oppressor. Women of color are never permitted to exist outside of these constraints: we are both women and people of color and we are always seen and treated as such.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “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 Quote: “For all the “I’m With Her” and “The Future Is Female” high-fiving floating around, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that merely having more white women in powerful positions isn’t going to result in a more just and equitable world. This reality continues to be glossed over by the rhetoric of “empowerment” and “lean-in” corporate feminism.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “White women share the same racial characteristics as white men and so are more easily able to transcend gender-based oppression. Their proximity to white men gives them, as Lorde pointed out, access to rewards for identifying with patriarchy when it suits them.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “Feminism is not immune to this. For should we fail to keep up our end of the unspoken bargain, should we tug at the invisible leash that whiteness and white feminism have secured around our necks, then that solidarity is revoked and White Womanhood ensures it is always us, and never them, who pay the price for speaking out. Turns out, they too saw us as threats all along.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “For centuries, the West has regurgitated representations of colonized women that came to be accepted as more real than the real. Jezebels. Black velvet. Harem girls. China Dolls. Princess Pocahontas. All of these reduced complex human beings to cardboard cutout sexual objects without agency and whose surrendered sexuality was de facto justification for white supremacy.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “Lynching was driven partly by the fear of interracial relationships between white women and black men and the impact mixed-race offspring would have on white supremacy.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “What does it mean for the rest of us that white women can quietly control almost all of the weapons belonging to the world’s most powerful country and still claim to be oppressed in the same way as other women?”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “In India, antipathy toward darker skin is so rife that a recent study found that 70 percent of both male and female respondents wanted to date a fair-skinned partner.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “This has created a highly skewed perception of Arab women that relegates us to what I call “Pets or Threats”: we are positioned as helpless, repressed victims without agency or a voice worth listening to, desperately in need of a white savior to rescue us from the clutches of our Bad Arab kin; or we are Bad Arabs ourselves, threats that must be contained and kept in our place. If we are not one, we must be the other.”

Ruby Hamad Quote: “The fear of Black Peril – the name whites gave to the specter of black male sexual desire for white women – was so wildly disproportionate to the actual threat that historians now regard it as a kind of psychopathology.”
