That would be great, except the general public is only really interested in solving the problems of the Johnny-come-lately white women.
People tried not to give a shit because the hope was elevating white women would elevate blacks and black women along with them. Historically, this just hasn't happened. Instead, the public shoots its wad addressing the problems of white women, pats themselves on the back, and calls it a day. Black activists are often worse off after white women get involved in their movements because they drain the accumulated public will.
Telling white women to fuck off is probably a more cost-effective strategy in the long run. I'm just surprised someone actually did it.
